R.I P. Middle Class (just my opinion)

[dmcowen674]

Because one should get a benny for making wise investment choices, not punished.

Bullshit

A country can not survive on investors alone.

The working should be more valued than the lazy rich playing monopoly.

WTF does that have to do with my statement?

Well, for the majority of the rich, they worked also. I know in your perfect country (what you laughable call America) anyone rich would get shipped out. Sorry, but they play a role also.

Green seems to be a very good color on you.

Because one should get a benny for making wise investment choices, not punished. And its not just the rich who benefit. Any retired person with an income other than SS probably gets capital gains. I think you forgot middle income people have retirements and investments too.

Why should they get more or less benefit than someone working? Or using your terms why should working be punished more than investing?

Because him and his kind hate America.
I don't understand why they are still here.
That's OK, we'll keep turning the screws on them till they can't take it anymore.
They are squealing louder and louder everyday like the pigs that they are.

What is your reasoning behind wanting to tax someone on (probably) already taxed money that was invested? If he/she made a wise investment and gained a return, why should the government get part of it?

Income is Income.

why should investment income be taxed any different than any other earned income?

any income should be taxed at the same rate no matter the source. capital gains should not be taxed less that income earned through labor.

Im not squealing, nor am I going anywhere I love this country. Youre stuck with me. A real American.

Just my opinion

You're right. Capital gains should be taxed at a lower rate than other income because it requires sustained investment that is subject to losses from inflation.

Like Hannity call himself.

Bullshit

Of course you love the country while you are getting away with raping it.

What is your reason for wanting to tax someone for their time? That's how most people make money. They give their time to investors in exchange for money. It's the same pool of money, you're just saying that after everything is done, the investor doesn't get taxed on what's left over (the profits) while the people they paid to create those profits have a third of their income stripped away.

That's utterly ass backwards.

Protest Video: Decadent Drink Weakens Resolve Of The Masses

All corporations are evil, but some are less evil than others. That's what these protesters had to be thinking when they gathered in droves at Starbucks to drink decadent lattes during the anti-war, anti-corporate, anti-capitalist, and anti-American protest at Washington, DC on March 18, 2006 to mark the 3rd anniversary of the Iraqi liberation (Imperialist War for Oil.) Unfortunately for the progressive movement, the consumption of bourgeois drinks was caught on tape by capitalist running dogs, thus exposing the soft belly of the Party's class struggle.

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. You really do know nothing about health insurance.

Try going out in to the world instead of staying in hick country please.

I suppose by that you mean one of those progressive blue states running record deficits and facing state bankruptcy?

Sorry, struck a nerve? I didn't even know you were married. Sorry, "used to be" married.

I was really tempted to incorporate that into my Buddhist sig, but I am still hoping against hope to make it to the next level of consciousness. Unfortunately, posting here has set me back quite a bit karma-wise.
