Should there be a cap on attainable wealth?

[NLXSK1]

Yeah, see, we have different viewpoints on this. i am TIGHT with my old boss. He's babysat my son. i'm attending his wedding Saturday. He attended my second wedding. i'm working for him tomorrow (start in 6 1/2 hours). While the percentage of MY paycheck that goes to UI is insignificant, HIS contributions were VERY substantial. And he, as a sensible owner would do, figured that into my pay. Had he not paid so much i would've received it in compensation. i guarantee that. i wouldn't have gotten the same amount he would've saved, he's gonna take his cut as he should. But i would've been cash up.

So, you're numbers do not accurately reflect what i contributed to my UI imo.

And I am not trying to attack you personally here.

What I am saying is the more people that take 2-3 years unemployment, disability, etc the greater the burden of the remaining taxpayers.

I am working sweat shop hours starting and running my businesses and the government is going to help me by making me pay somewhere between 6 & 10K this year in taxes and I listen to people like Carabeeiner say that he is on disability cause he doesnt want to work sweat shop hours.

And then Padwan wants to jump up and call me a coward for saying WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!

Again, if we dont change our attitudes and spending there will be no safety net for anyone because our financial system is going to crash. We have the treasury printing money which devalues the dollar to hand it to the fed to buy worthless paper from the banks to make the economy look peachy keen when it is totally fucked up.

Think whatever you want, you're an idiot, nobody cares what you think.

You are a child and it becomes more apparent with every post.

You are spinning my sweatshop remark into undiscovered country, aren't you? Like I said, i hope you never have to explore disability. I could once work long and hard, and I was proud of it.
Guess what? That is no longer the case.
Yes, I have the privilege of being able to compare potential pay from a job against the benefits I currently receive. But as I intimated before, you do not know my situation or condition. It's just too convenient for you to assume that Arbeit macht frei. So why would it be inappropriate or somehow an indicator of turpitude if I compare what i would get with what I do get? I also noticed that you were entirely too filled with your glee over my spurious entrapment to answer my questions. How much per hour and how many available hours did that job provide? cn

I did not ask him how much per hour or how many hours.

It comes right back to pay for you... Which is why I jumped on you so hard. I am working my ass off to pay for your disability.

Oh, man, you're comedic GOLD! lmfao!

 

[Carne Seca]

It's confirmed, you are a retard.

"HOW DO YOU get a job if you are disabled?"

See that? See that word "HOW"? That's the start of what is commonly referred to as a fucking QUESTION, you goddamn idiot. I made no statements, I made no claims.

You're a liar.[/COLOR]

Welcome to my world. He's a slippery little bastard, isn't he?

For beenthere and NLXSK1 - God may be no respecter of persons but I can honestly say you both aren't fit to wipe Cannabineer's ass let alone judge him. All you are doing is showing the immature trolling pieces of shit you truly are. It's pathetic and sad.

Really now? I have no ill will towards any of the names you posted above but I don't like pussies that jump in the ring and cry when they get a bloody nose. So please save that holier than thou shit for Sunday, it doesn't fly here.

Was that a bird farting? It would explain the smell.

Well I see your intellectual cards are on the table. Nice day Carne Seca my advice is to stay in the house with the women if you're too emotional to talk.

I am writing a check at the end of the year that goes to support him. Who better to judge?

 

[Mr Neutron]

I must answer this one through the filter of my own self-interest. I am essentially unemployable (but don't look or sound it on casual inspection) and currently survive on SSDI. If you can convince me that such a program would be supported nationwide by a loosely-federated network of local charities, and cover me, I'll pay attention.

Ah but there's the rub. Once you make it federal/nationwide, the hands-on control is lost and you're right back to what we have.
Why does it have to be "all or none"?

The current government workers are transplants from mars? I'm pretty sure they come from their own communities.

 

[Doer]

It does but, introducing a law that would cap wealth, idk, doesn't really rub me the right way. What are we gonna do when the law goes into effect? Drain rich people's bank accounts? They won't like that shit.

When they call $200K a year in San Francisco, Wealth, then it is obvious the debate is phony. Just move the bar down as we go.

In the future $100K a year can be real Wealth since no on bothers to earn $200K a year anymore. Professional sports gets amateurism and inability. No one bothers to excel. Football is no longer taught in school, ho hum, safety, right?

The question is motivation. Actual or contrived? Does self-reliance build motivation? Oh yes, nothing like it!

But, why would anyone strive and slave to have a successful career, if it is just taxed and goes to this madness of the Mob? Support the Mob as weapon, Robespierre? Not a good idea. Let's ask his rolling head.

History tells us that's not true. At tax rates as high as 91% for highest earners people just didn't stop working. CEO's used to make ten times the salary as the average worker and business did great, now they made hundreds if not thousands of times the salary their workers do.

Actually, history tells us something quite different. If you go back and look at what I posted, the listed highest tax rate was 94% in 1944-45 but so much income was not taxable that the actual rate on the highest earners was 40%....

The higher the taxes the more people hide income to evade paying it.

Judging from Romney I'd say that's consistent for the highest earners no matter the tax rate.

No but the decisions and regulations are from central planning. What works in DC may not work in California. Who would you rather administer your welfare, some bureaucrat 2000 miles away or your neighbor?

Welfare programs are implemented by the states and are designed for each states needs with the federal government picking up the majority of the bill.
