    Anyone?

    Why do we believe the people that told us that lowering their taxes would result in economic stimulus?

    They LIED.

    Now we're supposed believe the SAME muthafuckas when they say the economy will tank if we raise them?

    They've been lying to us for decades.

    Just assume you are educating and old man that does not have a clue why you want a new tax.
    You said you want to take a stand. OK! But I don't get it.
    Dviss objects to trickle down. OK! But I don't get it.

    Why do you want the state to extract more money from us in some way or the other?

    The AVERAGE CEO makes over 400x their lowest paid employee. The next country down is Japan and they make 11x...

    Yeah, i am all for hard work and bettering yourself, but when there are companies with ceos making 20 million + a year while an average worker makes less than 30k.... there is a problem.

    It's the biggest problem. Money isn't the root of all evil... GREED is.

    Greed creates poverty and poverty is the root of almost everything that ails society.

    Nope! I stated exactly why I opposed the tax. All I see from you is you support it and are taking a stand.

    Sly, you can state your case why you like the tax too, if you will.

    People complaining about Obamacare when they're premiums rise but when Stephen Hemsley made 66 mil last year nobody batted a fucking eye.

    THAT'S the reason your premium went up.
