I'm not afraid of it, I resent being expected to pay for other people's problems and enjoy the level of control I have over my own services. Stop talking out of your ass, bob.

you resent alot of things, anyone who isn't yourself is stupid and lazy and less entitled than you. stop your selfish fucking bitching, other people matter too, regardless of how well you understand each person's particular situation. some poeple make mistakes. some people are unlucky. Many got back on their feet again, most with assistance of some kind, some without.
But America didn't come this far by leaving people to die of malnutrition and sickness and total social fucking darwinism so you can stop feeding me this line of shit right here.

I feel bad for them, I really do. That doesn't mean they're entitled to my money which I worked for. Charity is voluntary, what you're advocating is straight up barrel-of-a-gun wealth redistribution, it's wrong and it's unamerican.

It's obvious we need Gush reform, the government should step in and introduce a law that requires gush to talk to bobhughes more often

I was left a more sensible person than before, after the aftermath faded.

Is that you talking or Ann Coulter? I can't believe you could be against Gush reform you heartless bastard.

I freely admit gush brought out the inner creep in me, whether I actually hoped to molest her (as she believed) or not.

It's part of how we won WW2, by charging 94% fucking tax on income in 1944 for couples making $250,000+
Granted that leaves them with at least $15k for the year, which was enough to survive very comfortably in those days. And they stayed and paid the tax instead of uprooting and moving to fucking cocos islands. They were in a total-war, but they were also patriots at heart.

But the tax brackets didn't decrease much for the "1%'ers" (back then the 0.001%'ers) until the reagan years, when it was decided it would be time to really test out the failed trickle-down economics experiement.

It was necessary during WW2. We were fighting for our very existence. They promised it was a temporary measure until the war was over. Last I checked, though, Hitler and Tojo are long dead and I'm still paying a big chunk of my check to the feds. And people like you want to increase it another 10 or 15%, thanks, it's nice to know you have the best interests of the working man in mind.

Also, like I mentioned the other day (and you ignored), exxon paid 17% of its US income, about 1.3 billion dollars. Are you honestly suggesting the government is entitled to more than that? What would make you happy? 40%? 75%?

you're "the working man" or you're the 1%? it's virtually never both, so which are you

people getting 6-figure bonuses for tricking your neighbors into loans they couldn't afford and saddling banks with millions of foreclosed homes, sellable at a loss if at all - these people owe you and I both money.

[maks]

im still fact-checking this, honestly that was just a soundbyte and it may be distorted or plain wrong

I linked you an article from a legitimate paper... Which is more likely, that they paid what the law requires them to or that they paid nothing and the feds just ignored it? come on bob use some common sense.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison... None of these men ever worked a day in their lives, they just sat around and collected money, right?

Come on, you're drinking gallons of kool-aid here bob. Remember what I told you about sticking to the facts rather than bumper sticker slogans?

Yes I coined "alot" and am part of a tiny, detestable minority by virtue of the fact I use the word so much here.
