Biden: Wealthy Americans Must Pay More Taxes to Show Patriotism

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

Yep. Because it's not all just black and white like you and your kind try to say it is. Some people DO NOT get the opportunities to be successful.

You make your own opportunities and yes IT'S F'ING HARD! But those who have managed don't owe the failures a **** thing short of those who are physically and mentally ill/disabled.

Some people did NOT have a rich household and get to go to the best schools and then go to college and earn a degree.

The "best schools" and being rich are not the only way opportunity is available. ANY POOR PERSON IN AMERICA CAN GET ENOUGH COLLEGE LOANS TO GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME AND PAY LIVING EXPENSES! so if they failed highschool and won't get a GED it's over, they fail, and the rich owe them NOTHING.

Some people actually have families at a young age and have to raise their families and can't go to college.

That is a CHOICE.... especially these days with abortion.....

Simply put. These people who take advantage were better off to begin with. They were MORE fortunate. NOT better people. I'm not talking about the people that sit around and don't want to do anything. I'm talking about blue collar hard working people that were less fortunate growing up in less than ideal circumstances.

My father saved from the age of 12 to take flying lessons. He picked cherries, worked in saw mills, was a logger, and worked on the railroad. He got a certificate in Aircraft mechanics and eventually through hard work landed a shitty job flying a corporate jet. It paid shit and his boss was a POS. 5 years latter continental went on strike and he walked the picket lines those selfish bastards set up and now make 200k as a commercial pilot. The government had nothing to do with it and his family was DIRT POOR, a type of poor you don't even understand. Opportunity is there for ANYONE who has the balls to seize it.

You're talking like an elitist. You seem way out of touch. Maybe you should think about things before you post.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Find a mirror you fvcking elitists, and while your at it take a shower and find a job.

In the real world, people pay for performance. Why should school be any different?

Umm...please tell me you hadn't thought about that before you posted it...

where is your evidence that I am wrong, if my numbers are wrong it is because the websites are wrong then...
gasbuddy.com for gas prices

http://www.gasbuddy.com/GB_Price_List.aspx

salary.com for wage of workers

http://salary.com/

nebraska government website re: electricty

http://www.neo.ne.gov/statshtml/115.htm

not making up numbers...everything that I have posted is per websites...come on man, don't even start to talk about my intelligence...thats pathetic even for someone from tulsa...

cigarettes was an example of something I noticed had a huge price difference between states...thats all!!!!

and if you go to college,please learn to read, i used 1ltr mtn dew as an example,

I was basically using the big mac index by showing the cost of a simple item cost in different states like the big mac index which measures simple items purchsed with different currencies...So now what???

As i said before, I used to work for one of the largest Electric Companies in the US. We served 11 states with power, and the cost / kwh varied greatly from state to state. more than the 10 cents / kwh you claim. and going back to the cost of living, you claimed 1000/mo difference isnt that big of a deal? what world are you living in? if i made an extra 1k/mo that would be the difference in me owning a house vs renting.

First of all, it wasn't directed at you? So it's not really any of your business. But I will go ahead and explain. He's a bible thumper and thinks our laws should be based on HIS religious beliefs. This comes from a different thread where he made this quite clear. So I say FUCK HIM and ANYONE that thinks like he does.

Now I know why you want the antichrist in office.

and you are gonna get banned with all that nasty talk.

Yah, I know it...

Nope. I do fine. I have to travel for work sometimes but I do alright. 60+/year. I just don't act like I'm better than others because I make more than them.

If not because you make more money than them, whats your excuse?

no shit... and they think those that have "made" it got there either by accident or on the back of the poor.. it's such a blindly selfish emotional reaction...

Not a valid argument.If we all paid the same percentage accross the board, the rich would pay a higher amount simply because they earn more.

I already said that. Are you new here? You just repeated what I posted a while back.

Forcing them to pay an even higher percentage not fiar at all.

Yes it is. It's called keeping balance. The wealthy think they're above being taxed. Plain and simple. It's called elitism. They think the laws should not pertain to them. I'm sorry but that is retarded.

Most people that side on the argument of increasing the taxes of the wealthy are angry, bitter, jealous and will never know what it is like to be in the shoes of the wealthy.Retarded argument at best...

Well, call it you want. It IS what is going to happen. Pro athletes pay it all the time and yet most of them are dems. They don't complain. They pay the same as any other wealthy snob.

What are you even asking.??

I don't think I'm better than anyone. I just think for myself. And I think this country is fucked up because of the rich elitists we have put in office.
