Do You "Deserve" To Keep Your Own Money?

I'm definitely not a rich person, but I do think the individuals who work hard for their money should not be discriminated against. This seems to be an ongoing debate depending on who's in power...there are other issues which need to be addressed that seem to be contributing to this country's financial problems. The quote which you shared "it's a waste of money at a critical time" was also said about 10 years ago by other politicians so it's not surprising to hear it said again.

I always get a chuckle out of others deciding how much money a person should have. If they earned it, they deserve it. I will take all money I am contracted/offered for services as long as it is legal, moral, and ethical. My feelings are O is getting everything he and the Dems dished out and are doing a piss poor job with my tax money thus I will help any way I can to get rid of them. I read the story on genital washing and was just amazed at the stupidity of it. 800,000 bucks of stimulus money for utter nonsense. That is why they are in trouble right now along with the underhanded way they have run both houses of congress. Sir Harry is now trying to attach an amnesty bill for illegals to a defense spending bill, that ought to endear him some more to the nations voters. What a bozo.

Agree with all said, except, maybe, concerning some of the highest earners. I can't help but question, "Did the EARN it", or did they just use power and influence to imorally and unethically exchange it from our pockets to theirs?

No single person NEEDs a five-hundred million dollar income, or any hundred million a year income, do they?

No single person needs cigars either

ah... thats a good point there. if they did that they didnt earn it. THAT is the point where they violated rights and the government steps in (because upholding the rights of the individual no matter how rich or poor is the only true job of a just government)

its not based on need. we do nt NEED a car. we dont NEED light bulbs... there are a lot of things we dont NEED to survive. but as long as someone is getting their money in a way that does not violate the rights of others there is no problem with making a hundred million a year.

The one word I have a problem with in your responce is "imorally." Morality is something that is very subjective and I feel the government should not legislate based on morality. When the government tries to do that we get into things like banning porn, tobacco, alcohol, free speech... etc...etc...

Laker----remember logic and reason works not with this mind set. Theyve gone so far out of touch...even Karl Rove is being chastised by the Momma Girizzly and the rest of the baggers. Some of the best known minds of the 20th century, from Churchill to Hitler, only read to reinforce their own beliefs. One of those two actually slept with books under his pillow, believing he may become mentally stronger through some type of learning osmosis. .....Unfortuantely, I think a lot of these people arent far off from this right now. Its best to just let it go for while I think....just like the "knownothing" party of 100 years ago...this one too will die out (and we will have a funy compairson to names at that time).

Vulchor

Also...before anyone can respond and say I am just being negative....Kreig and the others ideas of stifling the economy will occur if you tax or stifle the rich forgets one crucial element.....Human Greed. This is what drives all. If they are taxed 99%, they will not stop profducing or shut down----they will work harder to make the extra buck because money dominates all and money rules. This cant be denied, because the entire point of this is not about govt in your lives....its about others have your money. People will strive to have money, and as much as possible. Nothing can be done to effect that on a large scare because "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind"......Art (or Hollywood) mimics life.

I think this point also illuminates a fallacy currently being parroted across the right wing media outlets, that "the rich" spend money, therefore, they should not be taxed. They didn't get rich by spending their money, they got rich by keeping it. Poor people spend money, usually as soon as they get it, which is one of the reasons they remain poor.

Vulchor

Lol----Yes Amos that is true...and often times because they like to do things like eat, buy personal care items, be clothed, ect.

Mine was one, rather relevant, quote. Yours was a long series that is straining on the eyes to read...but I will try to do so in various stages and see if they have any relevance.

It is one continuous quote in its original presentation, the quotation marks are but a formatting choice by the presenter. You will note there are not closing quotations at the completion of each sub-quote.
