the problem with the mindset of the wealty in American is they have bought into the myth that wealth is endless,and there for the taking.they think they can take and take and take with out end and never give anything back.This is an idea that is absolutly wrong.Wealth and natural resourses are limmited.THey dont realise where their takeing from is from everyone else. They rape the land and pollute the forests and waters. They leave billons of people in poverty for their their own benifit. The greed of the 1 % must be stoped or humanity has no future.
 
That's because when GREED takes over and trumps all other priorities, logic is out the window. It's also why Capitalism, American-Style is likened to cancer. It preys upon and devours all in its path, never satiated, until it eventually eats itself.

It's unsustainable. But then, greed-heads all have have an expiration date in that they eventually die, so they're unconcerned with long-term anything, so long as they get theirs.
 
Some day soon the capitolistic economy will topple,and alot of weathy people are going to be in a world of hurt while the lives of the poor will only get better.
 
good lord. i can't stand this mindless anti wealth rant that has no basis in reality. there is greed in every economic level of society. it doesn't just exist in the 1%. further, there are, so called, 1%'s who donate more to charity and societal causes than most people dream of. oprah, gates, buffet.....

You mean like Africa? Cuba? Venezuela? Former Soviet Union?

Why do you libs hate so much? Why are you so envious?

Just mind your own business. The rich aren't hurting you

The problem with this idea is that the wealthy do earn their money, whereas you want them to give it back. How much? 20%? 30% 50% 75% Or should they keep being forced to give until they can be called poor?

There are a few who inherited their wealth, but most earned it.

And as far as the inheritance goes, would you prefer your children receive what you leave them or that it be distributed as others see fit?

His wealth includes more than his inheritance. It includes the bought-and-sold enterprises that he couldn't have paid for without heavy-hitter investors, aka daddy's friends.

And no, my children wouldn't inherit my wealth. They would inherit enough so that they could do something rather than nothing for the rest of their lives, and my non-profit pet charities would receive the rest.

But you want to determine wherethe inheritance goes. You wouldn't want your inheritance being given to a variety of organizations like the NRA or Safari International?

I think the rich should pay the same percentage of their income in taxes that the rest of us do. But this idea that they should have their money taken and given away is nonsense.

This is really the point. When people talk about others being born to their wealth, everyone is born to their station, some rise above it, most don't. Unless you were born in a barrel and left there(in which case you're probably dead) don't talk about how the wealthy just "were given" everything. All parents want the best for their children. Why should you get their money?

Once again I'm agreeing.

Seen a number of Obama commericials that end with the phrase, "the rich pay a little more, because everyone should pay what's fair." The translation is this... "We can't live within our means, so lets just lop off a little more outta the people with more, because they can afford it."

It's similar to if I kept borrowing money for cars, alcohol, houses, giving away money to my neighbors and then when it comes time to pay the bill I go out and rob a bank, because hell, they've got lots of money, and how is that fair to me.

Robbery is robbery no matter who does it.

"Robbery is robbery no matter who does it." THIS!!
 
I am not seeing where wealth redistribution was mentioned in this thread, other than by you two, who are so worried about it.

"wealth is not endless"
"greed of the 1%"
"earned his(their) wealth"
"Must be stopped"
"Take and take without giving anything back"


Out of curiosity, what exactly are they taking and what precisely should they be giving back?

Wanderingbearshit is just pissed that he hasn't been given his "fair share" and is worried that his landlord will fail to renew the lease and he'll actually have to get a job.

Add in his psychotic problems, his paranioa over Oregon passing a Medical MJ law, and then him getting busted by the feds and you'll have a pretty good idea of his mindset.
 
Back in the middle to late '50's until the late '60's and the tax rates on the wealthy many times exceeded 90% I didn't see any rush for them to get on the next flight out of this country. They were still very rich and most seemed to appreciate the fact that this COUNTRY helped them to acquire their wealth, protect their businesses from crime, fire, even unfair competition and they knew that this could not happen anywhere else on the planet. We need to go back to those good ole' days. The filthy rich will have to learn to live with it just like the rest of us have learned to live on meager wages and terrible conditions all thing considered.

If I have 3 million dollars to leave behind to each of my kids none of them will pay a dime in inheritance taxes. That ain't gonna happen. I'll leave them enough to be comfortable, I hope, but the rest is going to veteran's medical and medical rehabilitation facilities. Our heroes are starving in the streets, in need of care they don't even know about and can't get it even if they do. The way the rethugs and some democrats use up our youth in useless wars and then discard them like last weeks leftovers is disgraceful and disgusting.
