Because they actively screw over others and the economy to get it.


You sound like quite the victim. You're saltier than a salt mine.

Did Zuckerberg screw you? Did Bill Gates screw you? Did Buffet screw you? If they didn't, why are you whining so much? They got there because they worked their ass off and used their brains, while people like you stay in your mom's basement, play videogames all day and expect to be rich.

"brings up bad things in the world"

"stop crying" aka I actually have nothing to say.

Ok well you can have fun crying on here about rich people and I'll continue doing productive things with my life, generating myself wealth and having a good life.


No one believes you. It's always you or the Fam that make claims like this.

Notice that the proven successful CEmen don't say stupid shit like this to random people they don't know anything about?

It's pretty telling that you think it's outrageous that someone works to improve their own life rather than waste their energy bitching about other people, don't you think?


There are people who work multiple jobs 60+ hours a week and still barely have enough to pay the bills.

Simply working hard isn't fucking enough, but keep spouting bullshit.

It's actually not even worth that due to the minimum wage. If joel got his way, most low-end workers with no real skills would make even less.

do you really think that anything will be fixed solely by poor people having fewer than 5 kids or is this sarcasm?

Considering there are no real details yet... how is the poster so certain of the cuts?

From what I see, its better than Canada's current 'tax reform'... that specifically targets the middle class (by increasing their taxes).

The people working at the bottom are only worth what they are currently being paid for the most part. If they were worth more, they would be paid more so the employer can keep them under their employment. Keep in mind, though, min wage jobs are meant for part time work, students, semi-retired people, etc. People often only work in these places due to poor choices in their life.

Bullshit! The bourgeoisie company owner is only making his millions in profits because of the people doing the labor. These guys own the means to production and exploit other people's labor to make their profits!

he can bitch all he wants if he's doing what he needs to do and becoming more productive and successful in his career

Well bottom line is for example.

Make $100,000,000 pay $150,000

Make $500,000 pay $75,000

Make $100,000 pay $15,000

Make $50,000 pay $7,500

Make $25,000 pay $3,750

Make $10,000 pay $1,500

Consumption tax is the same

Spend X-Dollars Pay X-Percent.

Eliminate most of the IRS and all the costs associated with it.

Not really difficult but fuck it lets argue and get no where because we all care about the same things but have been lead to believe we are each others enemy. #winning!!!


Pretty much this. I'm surprised this post was over looked.

Because that's not what liberals want. If someone makes $1,000,000, they want that person to disproportionately pay $800,000, instead $150,000.

I would gladly pay 15% instead of paying 30%.
