    Default I Never Saw Taxes Make A Rich Man Poor - Vaporizing The Arguments Of The Greedy Rich.

    And the other one is:

    "People will move from high tax States to low tax States."

    Total baloney.

    Here's how that goes. The couple is filthy rich because he has always been obsessed with money. They've got it made. They already have way more than most. They are in the top 1%. Democrats in the State raise taxes because the government needs it. It doesn't hurt them. They still live in the lap of luxury, have all they need and plenty more, even with higher taxes. They have far more than they ever need or could ever spend on their lifestyle.

    He says: "We need to move to nowhere-ville because they have lower taxes."

    She says: "Go ahead. Buy a home there and move. I am staying here, near the grandchildren."

    End of argument.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    Beautiful!

    I know at least two couples where that essentially describes the situation.

    In fact, often both want to stay near the grandchildren...and both often want to complain about the taxes. Much better for them to complain about high taxes than about low taxes!

    "People will move from high tax States to low tax States."

    Total baloney.
    Somebody in rightwing talk radio invented that theme a couple decades ago, and the Ditto heads have taken their orders and mindlessly parroted it since then.

    I think I can count on one hand the number of people I have ever heard say they moved to another state because of low taxes.

    Almost everyone I know who moved throughout my entire life did so because of economic opportunity, family, natural beauty, schools and education, recreation, weather, climate, and other intangibles.

    Hey!

    This must have been a great thread!

    Otherwise it would never have been plagiarized.

    He could have chosen to live in Topeka, Kansas. But he didn't.

    I would take it as a compliment, that people who are thread banned or on IA still make it a point to read your threads, plagiarize them, and attempt to respond to them. They must find your writing very interesting.

    Thank you. Yes, I do consider it a badge of honor.

    They read what I write. I don't read what they write. I win. I am getting my point across. They are not.

    They are wishing they had not mouthed off so much.

    I have zero need, nor desire, to read the drivel of trolls. That's why they are thread banned. No big surprise they would try to steal threads. They sure can't win on a level playing field.

    LOL. IN the next census Texas is expected to pick up at least 4, possibly 5 electors from rust belt states.

    they learned I from me

    they would ban me from most threads and I would make a new thread in which I didn't ban them


    I would even get their responses at the other thread and answer them

    You would be amazed at how often they couldnt resist answering me in my thread

    As much as some rightwingers are dismissive of you, you might be the most read and responded to poster in the history of jpp dot com.

    Keep up the good work!

    Any reason for moving given?

    Generally, it is no secret in history, when capitalism depletes the usefulness of a region, then capitalism leaves. People in search of better opportunities also leave. Governments in dwindling population areas face a challenge balancing the budget with diminished revenue. Cutting taxes doesn't usually help that.
