Poor people don't pay Federal taxes, they are taken out but come back in the form of a refund check.

Yes I know, but I did not want to turn my comment into a social equity discussion. Just that Rich does not equal bad and poor does not equal good.

True, but the poor in this nation usually end up getting the short end of the stick, while the elite get the royal treatment. Too much is concentrated in the hands of too few, and it's getting worse.

This was my point with the ACTUALLY statement. As employers we see what gets taken out federally and get to hear what is gotten back in the form of earned income tax credits.

A dangerous statement and slippery slope my friend.

Blame CA for that.

It's a sound bite, do you send hate mail to Politicians, newspapers, TV and radio stations? If you do I get the feeling they would think you're an oddball!

If you took the time and very little thought to read the thread title, you might notice that somthin up! You gotta love Lucy & Ricky!

Yes indeed. It is hard to believe that some think a person's income increasing could be considered bad unless everyone else's goes up too.
How does the goodness of the worth and value of my efforts depend on what others do? It does not.

Totally agree

Yea, shareholders want to make big bucks from any nook and cranny they can. So they hire a race horse and give him Royal oats. When he stops winning and/or fulfilling their addiction, it's back to generic Cheerios. All things considered, nothing gained or lost. Mr, Stephenson ruthless business acumen is, for the fleeting moment, *****en!

In life, I see people who are the loudest are the underachievers. If you can't make it in the real world be a crappy Politician or a crappy teacher, or correct grammar in forums (oops I slipped).

I saw an article that the top 1% pay much less than their fair share, and some even pay no taxes, that's called "business" to them, to most of us it's called cheating.
Edit-These elite are also hoarding record amounts of money, money that should be going to create jobs and help the economy, crooks.

Maybe you should take your class warfare comments over to the political forum. It's not really appropriate here.

There will always be hybrid threads where politics are an intertwined part of a carrier discussion like this one due to the nature of the topic. Perhaps you should take your narrow-mindedness elsewhere and stop trying to muzzle anyone who you disagree with. The "class warfare" you speak of has already been won long ago by the top 1%. Everybody knows that. That won't keep the 99% from speaking their mind. Nice try though.

Relax, he's got a mild case Modicitis, so he can't help himself from making troll like responses.

Modicitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the attitude. It is classified as a medical emergency and many cases require removal of the inflamed comment, either by laparobann or bannoscopy. Untreated, mortality is high, mainly because of the risk of rupture leading to peritonitisand shock.[1] Reginald Fitz first described acute and chronic obniciousitis in 1886,[2] and it has been recognized as one of the most common causes of severe acute abdominal pain worldwide. A correctly diagnosed non-acute form of Modicitis is known as "rumbling appendicitis".[3]

Perhaps you should carry your flame baiting back to the political threads. No one is trying to "muzzle" anyone. Nice try using scare tactics to advance your own agenda btw, I doubt they'll work on anyone here.

Do you often feel the need to swing at bats.

Not typically.

Ok, so the OP didn't clarify his post and there was misinformation spread around.

That still doesn't change the fact that Republicans and shysters like Mitt Romney (the expert at killing American jobs and sending companies overseas to China) are greedy mofos! And when you're a greedy mofo, you're the wrong person to run this country.
