Topic | Should we limit how much wealth an individual can have? Why/why not? |
emblem boy 06/25/18 4:37:59 PM #75 | Fuparulez posted... Investment income is taxed lower because it's money that's already been taxed in the first place and making it less attractive to invest money into our economy, do I have to explain why that's bad? But I mean, the income invested isn't what's taxed. It's the realized gains that are taxed. If we're going to go down the hole of if something is double taxation or not, there are probably better examples. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 |

They low rate for capital gains goes away so they decide to stop investing or move countries? They're still making money and creating wealth in some way and getting good investment on returns. Why would they stop? I think having the special tax rules for different types of income is arbitrary. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 |

I mean, it probably doesn't matte in the end. Sarah then went on Twitter and called out the restaurant, and I'm sure they're gonna get a shitload of negative and positive comments.

Topic | eating a pig is as bad as eating a dog |
emblem boy 06/21/18 11:33:10 AM #22 | s0nicfan posted... Pigs have been bred for thousands of years for the sole purpose of being consumed. Dogs have been bred for over ten thousand years to be companions and as support for tasks like herding, retrieving, tracking, and killing. They're not equivalent. It's like comparing firewood to a shovel. This explanation doesn't really do it for me. An animal was chosen to be bred for food thousands of years ago. And? It doesn't really answer the question of if we should still eat them. But I guess that isn't really what you're trying to answer by your post,so nvm I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but it's not really a strong argument to me --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 |

emblem boy 06/21/18 10:55:22 AM #47 | FLUFFYGERM posted... emblem boy posted...FLUFFYGERM posted... That doesn't really answer what I was talking about. That 60 billion is about 10% of Medicare. If we cut the funding by half, and we see fraud stay at 10%, what then? If we raised funding by half and fraud stayed at 10% percent, would you still say we need to cut funding? Like, I'm mainly just saying fraud is something that needs to be identified and fixed, but I'm not sure why you think cutting funding is the only way to go about it. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 |

I mean, it seems that's what you're implying when you want to cut it. Obviously we should take care of fraud and money mismanagement.

Separating families only really happens if the border patrol decide to actually charge the people. In the past, we kinda just sent them back and didn't bother with that whole thing.
