It means you are so entitled you think you get to be the judge of people and their income. You dont.
. . . and you do?
Yes. Here, try this: its not your money.
Nope. Its not my business.
You are not being honest. You are a socialist. Therefore your entire ideology is built upon confiscating the wealth of others to distribute in a way you see fit. A civilized nation is one where neighbors don't steal from one another, but where neighbors respect each others rights. A nation of parasites who suck the blood of the productive is not one deserving of the title of civilization.Never said it was my money. I just want to live in a country where we don't have homeless people standing out in the snow begging for money, where people don't declare bankruptcy over medical bills, where young people can get a college education without loading themselves up with a debt that takes 20 years to pay back - you know a civilised nation

So you don't participate in the electoral process.

And we defeated the Evil Empire. Under the monster on the golf course how has our debt and the unfunded liabilities done?"Revenues doubled" and the national debt tripled.
Why don't 'conservatives' understand that the richest don't 'earn' their money in the same way a person working as a machinist or a teacher or a bank clerk does? I don't think you would want to live in a country where the tax rate dropped back to that of the 'good ol' days' of the late 19th C but you may believe you would until you had to experience that reality.
50% of a million dollars is way better than 90% of $25,000

I see that your definition of "socialist" has little connection with reality but is instead the all too common conflation of socialism with the dictatorships which used the term in describing themselves - much like North Korea is officially the "Peoples Democratic Republic" when it is neither democratic or republican.
At this time in America, the "parasites" are the 0.1% who are sucking the blood and money away from those who actually work. While productivity of American workers has increased, their pay has not - just a bit of a repudiation of the libertarian, capitalist dream.
Marxism is such an ugly thing. And yet you wallow in it. What you earn, however you earn it is yours. What someone else earn, however they earn it is not yours.
Those who believe as you do are pirates and plunderers. And Marxists.
Really know nothing of history, do ya? You can't even be bothered to answer or defend the fact American workers are producing more per hour worked than they were 40 years ago but their wages haven't risen in line with the increased productivity while those who own the companies or simply invested in a company have seen their income increase exponentially. Of course there is the fact that during the past 40 years labour unions have lost millions of workers and that free trade agreements mean American company owners continue to profit by taking work away from American workers -- but, bringing that up along with a few other changes in society is simply "Marxist ****" in some peoples minds.

Its the left that race baits. Time for more reading.
I am willing to match my knowledge of history with yours.
Naturally your thoughts immediately go toward collectivism, socialism, Marxism. You bear all of the evil fingerprints of the virulent Marxist. You seethe with class hatred and envy. You are not satisfied with yourself but choose to blame others for your plight instead of improving yourself.
Government is the cause of the problems, not businesses. If you want more opportunity then get rid of more government.
Which companies are you referring to?
Actually it is very relevant because you were referring to 'companies', though I understand you'd rather deal in generalities rather than realities.Not relevant to this topic
You're funny. I "seethe with class hatred and envy" :rofl We have a place in Palm Beach and another home in Maine. We have a yacht on which the two of us have sailed thousands of miles. I have friends and family with even larger incomes than our rather pleasant one and you think I "seethe with class hatred and envy". You know what - none of this is relevant to the topic of this thread so there will be no further interaction on my part with anyone who wants to argue about unrelated matters.
Really- Far Left and far right do the same thing. Take the blinders off.
Not every thing is a Leftist caused problem.
Well not in most peoples world.
