an analysis of "tax the rich"

[GodsGrace]

Thank you! God's land; exactly that. My job involves a vast amount of bookkeeping; I am the human version of a database according to my colleagues.

Hmmm. Database.
Do you make sure those wealthy folk get what they're supposed to get? I had a friend that did this. She loved it too. Worked for private persons instead of a company.

this is well-written and thoughtful....apparently, some of the "socialist" reforms are just rehashing old tax laws from 1946-1980. who knew?

it actually will hurt the middle class because businesses will move out of the usa lock stock and barrel and never come back - so will the rich - they will move to some lovely tropical country or island to enjoy themselves at a very reduced tax rate

so the only ones who will suffer out of all of this will be the regular american citizens

I did too!
Maybe I still would,,, but I'm beginning to hate paying bills and keeping checking account balances is becoming a thing of the past. That might be a clue.

I hear that; I'm already at that stage. I used to check my bank account balances religiously, however I tend to just pray there is enough to cover any bills. Put it this way, Jesus hasn't let me down yet.

 

[GodsGrace]

Don't pick on the rich. They build houses, build boats, buy lots of food in restaurants, they stay in hotels, they build business's, they keep people employed.

Hey....




Are you addressing Wondering?
Don't you know me better by now?
Can't you tell when I'm kidding around?

LOL
I try to keep a balance...I could do this online nowadays.
Who needs to keep a check book anymore?
But, you know, it doesn't have to balance to the penny (schilling, pence?) ...which it did in the past!

I ensure all my clients receive exactly as they should, pay back what they've taken fraudulently and seize stolen assets; I have an excellent memory, especially for names and addresses.

I wasn't talking to you, i was talking to the world who thinks equality can acturally exist.

Amen to that! I have automated software that collates and calculates the data as a back-up; just in case I get a little idle. I don't even own a cheque book; they've run out of fashion here in the United Kingdom.

Yeah. That's what I thought.
I fear you might have a job we won't mention here since you're new and would like to remain friends with us all.
LOL

Amen.
There's no such thing as equality.
I have a communist cousin.
He told me once that it's unfair that some drive a Fiat and some drive a Mercedes. He said we should all be driving the same car. I informed him that if we did....it wouldn't be the Mercedes (as he hoped) it would be the Fiat!

Ditto for the rest of the world.
Paper?
What's that?

 

[Book Keeper]

I agree, it may be best not mentioning specifics, however I do work directly for the government and not privately. :wink

Exactly! The old-school method has died out, however I do enjoy the classic 'hard copy'.

Oh my.
Did I just think that was funny?
I must be losing it....

 

[GodsGrace]

Oh yes.
Nothing changes.
It's just called something different...

 

[GodsGrace]

Nice speaking to you Mr. Book Keeper ...
Check out the other threads too.

Likewise; I'm off for a browse.
Adiós

Lol. Some cars are better than others just as some countries are better than others just as some cultures are better than others.

What is this world even on about. Extremism is bad. Nothing wrong with being an extremist if your core belief is peace. The more radically extreme someone is the more peaceful they are.

Is a communist a radical?
My cousin is not a person that has peace!
