Kark Marx did too. It is useful for wrecking capitalism and leads to socialism.I actually support highly progressive taxation to discourage over accumulation of wealth.
No. It is you, the one term Marxist president Obama, Radical Karl and all fellow travelers.But thats just me.
that's your response?.. i'm being screwed and I don't realize it? :lol:
seriously, if i'm getting screwed, please please please let the screwing continue... and ramp it up a notch or 2.
Exactly what the GOP candidates have promised.
Am I? How do you know this?
well, in that case, maybe i'll have to vote Republican... thanks for the heads up!
I wouldn't have thought you would do otherwise.

Nah, I'm MUCH worse than that.
I think we should have truly free markets.
The ones with no enforcement of property rights.
No enforcement of contracts.
Sell whatever you want. For whatever you can get for it.
The govt will stay COMPLETELY out of your business.
COMPLETELY free of ALL coercion. By anybody.
really? despite the "Libertarian" by my name and repeated claims that I support neither the GOP nor the Democrats?.. and despite the fact i'm a registered Libertarian?
you're really on top of things! :lol:
if you were actually interested in not being screwed, you wouldn't vote for the 2 major parties... but that's only if you are actually interested in not being screwed.
Ok so i guess they speak for the 99.99999999999%
Can we just get over the cathy 99% little signs then?
YEAH!
Its clearly 1% screwing 80% with the help of 19%.
so what-that rate is 15% which is lower than earned income for several reasons including RISK and the fact that inflation often robs the earnings of LONG term capital gains
short term capital gains are taxed, for the rich, at 35%
you do understand that most people have a lower rate on LTCG than salary income
The rich pay the highest rate possible for like income
The tax on capital gain is lower because it is a main income source of the rich and powerful who have used their influence and power to gain this discriminatory preference. All money which COMES IN to a persons pocket or account should be taxed as INCOME. To do otherwise is elitist and discriminatory in favor of class warfare on average workers.
The statement that the rich pay the highest rate possible for like income is smoke and mirrors and a total misrepresentation of reality since it conveniently and dishonestly ignores the fact that such a larger portion of the income of the rich is intentionally taxed at a much lower rate because of its source - long term capital gains. Its a carefully parsed statement which is intended to fool the listener or reader.
This about . 001 % not 99% and they are goof and have no clue about what drives the economy or creates jobs.
The are headed into a situation they will never win.
Most of them can't even articulate why they are there or what they want.
They are products of Obama's class Warfare messages.
This will end in disaster and they will cause it because they are stupid spoiled idiots, who need to get a job sit down and shut the hell up.

, I am sure there is a large cross section of US citizens from the poor and unemployed to the economically sound demonstrating their discontent with the direction that our country has traveling over the last few generations.stupid spoiled idiots
That is unfounded nonsense. YOu howl about making all sources of income treated equally yet you constantly support the rich paying higher rates on whatever income they receive while completely ignoring why some sorts of income are rationally treated differently-be it the double taxation dividends face or the inflationary dimunition of long term capital gains because you want to tax the rich more and more and more
If you really want equality-which of course you do not-then support a consumption tax

since all money coming in is income and is the same. This is pure power politics and the elite flexing its political muscle and power to benefit itself. The rest is lipstick on a pig."rationally treated differently'
"Should the GOP should fear the 99% movement?"
Yes, absolutely. The GOP is the political arm of the Corporatocracy that represents the 1%. This isn't even complicated and the Repubs know this might get laid bare for even the dullest to understand. This is why the Mass Media did not want to cover the story. Let's not discuss how things really work, eh?
If I walk up and offer you $100 for a blow job and you deny the offer, then shame on me...and Im the bad guy. If you walk up and say..."hey...put that $100 away bitch, it will cost you at least $1000 and you have to give it to me all up front and if you DONT make this deal you WONT like the consequences long term" then where does your problem reside? You and others keep making this claim that 'the majority of democrats' are somehow pristine and opposed to Wall Street influence. Really? Who received the bulk of their campaign contributions? Who has ALWAYS been in bed with the people you claim they are 'against'? If you dont think the democrats are as corrupt as the republicans and arent responsible for creating the climate of corruption, you arent paying attention or are blinded by your partisanship.The majority of Democrats support those positions, but you are correct that we need to vote out the blue dog democrats that vote against the interest of the middle class.
Most libertarians I've talked with are opposed to Wall Street buying politicians, just like the protesters.
There is no such things a '99%' movement. There are a bunch of typical klowns claiming the name,...
Unimaginative and moronic. Your turn...go...cute & ironic.

How many of those democrats are taking campaign contributions from those Wall Street and banker types? Where is a majority of their money going? This just isnt even hard.Really, let's review: A majority of Dems voted to increase the CAFE standards, A majority of Dems voted against the war in Iraq, a majority of Dems voted for the affordable health care act, a majority of Dems voted against continuing the tax cuts for the rich, a majority of Dems voted for regulating wall street, and a majority of Dems voted for the Jobs Act.
