Time for you armchair economists to spin, again
 

Oh, this should be good.

As to the article,
I don't BS myself. I am poor. I make half of what my parents made at my age. I acknowledge that i will never own a house, My education has amounted to nothing, my Cost of living goes up, my pay stays the same, I get no bonuses (though i am promised them, i never see them) and all the while corporate executives get fat bonuses, fly around the world on the companies dime, "3rd party" jobs or flat out cut positions. The class divide is VERY noticeable IMO.

I am not a happy camper. At this point, i am grateful i have a job at all. I have no illusions of upward mobility, pay raises or promotions. They are not there, they do not exist. Things need to change, but at least i'm not living in a card board box just yet.


I find the notion of a class war intriguing, and would like to subscribe to the newsletter. :O:

I Thought I had heard of this guy before.

and a much MUCH greater percentage of taxes.

I take it, than, you are in the top 1%? After all, why would YOU object, otherwise, to better government services for YOU if YOU'RE not the one paying for it? Of course not!! That would be stupid!! Especially since trickle down seems to be pretty much debunked.

And you talk about spin! Could you possibly address his point, which is that the rich already pay the lion's share of all taxes paid?

And your comment about government services? How about this: Why don't you tax everyone 100%, and then give all of us what you think we need? Try that and you'll see a real class war.

I am moved to but a single tear... an alligator tear.

It would be hypocritical of me to complain about social services, since I am the benificiary of some of them. I don't even know that I'm right where taxes are concerned, or where socialism is concerned.

My only real complaint in this is people like Torvald who like to throw out barbs and insults, but never really discuss the situation from an honest standpoint, i.e. talking about the pros and cons of every posible solution.

He, as far as I can see, is the Rush Limbaugh of the left, and least as far as this limited forum is concerned.

Who said I objected, I just pointe out an oft ignored fact.

To me this is article just another egghead smarter than everyone in the room spouting off his opinions.

But enjoy your class warfare and talking points.

I think your title is wrong. "Time for you armchair economists to spin, again' What you meant was, "Time for you armchair Communists to spin, again"


:D

Da! Comrade commisar! :O:

the top one percent hold 23.5% of the wealth, so complaining about paying 25% is like going to the ER for a paper cut.

Its more like 40% and again who said I was complaining?

I will say this. I would not mind losing most of my Tax rebate if it was guarnteed to go into gov purchases of solar and wind power along with Algae fuel.

To an extent the gov does this the military is buying a heap of fuel to test its effectiveness in case of national emergency. And more facilities are using solar assistance these days.

Hell I would not mind that AND a huge tax cut for the rich. Tho ONLY if NAFTA is repealed and ALL Tax cuts are removed for companies that outsource more than 100 jobs. (That means anyone being paid anywhere other than through US payroll tax system)

If wind, solar, or alge energy sources were viable and profitable private industry would drive them.

By the way did Tboon ever get all those un-installed windmills off his property?

These systems arent viable or competitive therefore it is evidently the goverments job :doh:

Actually, I'm rather supportive of any alternative energy program, sponsered by the government or not. If we can get ourselves off of the oil, then we can let the Arabs and the Israelis shoot at each other over their desserts as much as they like without having every silly decision they make effect the energy supply.
