Your “hatred” of anybody even slightly more successful than yourself has blinded you to common sense.
I don’t hate people more successful than me. I hate those are greedier than I, especially when they have no reason to be. Papa John’s Pizza for one off the top of my head. He can totally pay his workers much much more but he does not because he’s a greedy bitch. Being fair with your profit would be acceptable. There’s no reason you need to make 6000 times the amount of your lowest wage worker.
And what an arrogant statement to make. The fuck do you know about me and my “lifestyle”?
Just the stuff you’ve bragged about here on the board.
I have a job. I work in financial services.
That’s new. For as long as I can remember you’ve always bragged about living off of investments at your mom’s house
If you could argue your case civilly and politely without resorting spiteful personal attacks, you be twice the person you are.
Personal attacks? I haven’t written anything you haven’t stated yourself. I just put it in context to the rest of society. (however, I do concede my word choice and tone were much more harsh than they should have been.)
Not the first time either.
Same for you.
Very disappointing.
Par for the course for you.
One again, the fuck would you know about my “education”?
Only what you’ve shared here on the board.
Please name one of my “right wing heroes”. I need to know who they are.
I don’t believe you’ve mentioned any by name but the crap you post is in line with typical “liberal media” bullshit constantly being pushed by the “News”
Bill O’Rielly, Sean Hannity, Neil Cavuto, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coultier, etc etc
Why - if my company is successful and people are buying my product - should my profits be capped? Why should I only allowed to be successful “to a certain point”? Why punish successful enterprises by making them pay more than their required tax (which in Australia is 30c in the dollar) ?
To keep your company from becoming more powerful than the government. Because when you have the ability to stock pile your resources to an obscene amount that gives you an unfair advantage over the rest of society.
Great argument, Mr “Educated”.
you couldn’t understand what I wrote could you?
You telling me that ALL successful businessmen are CRIMINALS!?!?
Of course not. But I do see a trend in wealth and a corruption in ethics once wealth is attained. The only reason the crap they do is not illegal is because the money they make lobbies the government to keep it legal.
Wow, what a convincing “argument”!
If only you could see past your “Left Wing” media bias, Grampy.
If only there was a left wing media bias. Then perhaps I could identify with something in the media instead of being bombarded with ultra right wing on Fox and hard core right wing pretending to be “Left” on every other station.
When was the last time a rich person paid their work force what they were worth?
Please show evidence that ALL companies only pay minimum, standard wages to ALL employees please.
have you taken a look around? The wealthy continue to get wealthy, the poor are becoming even more so. The tax rate for the wealthy has never been lower. the gap between the lowest wage earners and the top wage earners has never been wider and you wanna ask about proof? This is exactly what I’m talking about how you have no idea. and you wanna sputter out “plbplbplbplbplbplbplb you wanna punish success plbplbplbplbplbplbplb” when really what it is is the right wants free labor and anyone who won’t work for free is “lazy.”
Please refer to your “argument” (along with all your noted “facts” to back up said argument) that states that ALL rich person make their fortunes through committing crimes.
My argument is not a straw man. but yours is because I never said ALL rich people make their wealth through crimes."
Like you, eh? A guy who states an “opinion” which suddenly becomes a water tight “fact” and prances around with it like he’s just caught a big fish!
I’m flattered you think my opinion is “water tight fact’”. we both know it’s not, but it floats much easier than your crap.
