There are said to be three ways to become a Cajun: by blood, by marriage, or by the back door.Oh please, enlighten me, since I happen to be half-cajun.
LOL! No "bro" You have Cajun blood or you don't, you are either a descendent from the people of Arcadia or you are not, but then again, you can't answer a simple question like which of the two New Orleans area law schools you graduated from, and don't know anything about the culture, so why should I be surprised that you fell for such an obvious statement as the "three ways to become cajun".There are said to be three ways to become a Cajun: by blood, by marriage, or by the back door.
He obviously doesn't have any shame, but I figured I'd give the rest of you a chuckle by kicking the **** out of this little rant of his.Please stop feeding the bro-troll.

But they have a different idea of what equality is. Everyone I think supports equality at some level.
Do you want the government to treat people equally, or do you want people to be equal? Currently the best thing you can do to be a huge success is to be born to the right people. Inherit millions and you're guaranteed to become a millionaire! Personally, I'd like to have a system where everyone has the same chance to succeed. So I support things like a high inheritance tax and higher taxes on investment income than on wages. I can claim I'm for equality as much as anyone else. We just have different opinions on what equality really is.
Wouldn't you want your children to enjoy the fruits of your physical and/or intellectual labor?
In a word: No. My children did nothing to deserve having it over the children of others.
So donate it. It's not up to you or anyone else to steal someone else's money from them.I won't mind at all if the tax on the rich goes through. I already have more money than I can keep track of.

I know, hoss. It's up to the political process to determine if our money can be stolen and used to advance the general welfare.So donate it. It's not up to you or anyone else to steal someone else's money from them.
We know, hoss. That's how the health insurance cartel gained its tyrannical grip on us.All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent

Above a certain amount, I would. It's huge accumulations of wealth that will destroy our form of government. Small fortunes are acceptable,So you would be in favor of a 100% inheritance tax? :shock:
We know, hoss. That's how the health insurance cartel gained its tyrannical grip on us.
Not if it would undermine our form of government.Wouldn't you want your children to enjoy the fruits of your physical and/or intellectual labor?

I love when people (especially ignorant poor and modest income people who've been Duped by well off 'Libertarians' and Republicans) actually speak not only against their own interest.. but the TRUTH.
The Truth is...
As Warren Buffett has said 5 years ago "there is class warfare and My side is winning"
IOW, the rich pay far less that they did 8 years ago .. or 28 years ago or 48 years ago.
MUCH LESS.
When the govt threatens to even revert/reverse this to anywhere near historically fair, the side, whose absolutely WAILED on the country with the help of the low/no-tax crowd starts SCREECHING liike this is going to be sweden
Here's a look at Rates when there was lessincvome diffrential and a larger Middle Class. THAT is what separates america and makes it a great country:
Not the increasing Wealth polarity we have more Every year.
Some perspective on who'se NOT getting taxed enough
and Mr Right-herwith me-inNYC..
(Hold your breath)
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT 'FAIR' IS.
I know that sounds unjust!
(no tax is 'fair' on some basis)
What matters is what Viable and what's POSSIBLE.
We need more money and we ain't getting from people/families who make 50k or less.
Even the Rich love/agree/NEED when they send out those 600/1200 checks so all the little guys who really need the money can buy computers and cars (and food and medication) from the companies they own stock in.
Otherwise we all go down.
(I invest for a living)
These rebates of the last few years, in fact, are PROOF, the middle/middle-low/low cannot pay a cent more and someone else (DUH) IS going to have to pay.
Figure it out. Who Do Dat leave?

We should be paying 70%.The richest 1% pay more than 40% of all federal income tax despite earning only 22% of all income.
