You are fundamentally correct. Everyone wants "profit sharing" but never considers "loss sharing"!!! It you don't like crumbs, start your own damn business, and stand on your hind legs like a man.
How does your point of view account for corporate welfare which also pays bonuses?
But then, if you wanted to stick with discussion, perhaps you should have responded to post #20 instead?
That is the point, chief. Robin hood was a thief, and was stealing from people. They were not voluntarily giving. It is a great analogy to excess taxation on the wealthy. It is involuntary.
Jesus recommends giving, but it is voluntary. Apples and Oranges.
I simply missed your reply in post #20. I apologize. Here it is,

Now about that job creation, give me one big reason to hire people here in the USA, instead of in India, even if all taxes were rolled down to zero.
There is no incentive to hire in the US instead of India for many jobs, nor should there be. Artificially propping up a local (United States) economy due to tax incentives and trade restrictions might be beneficial to US citizens in the short term, but it comes at the cost of an overall economic dead weight loss. There will be a great deal of pain on the part of the citizens bringing an economy back from the point where we are today, however for economies to grow one has to look beyond the emotional sob stories of individual people and look at how to create more balanced global economies. The face of economic structures have changed with globalization, and it would be very short sighted to not grow the US economy in a global nature by keeping jobs solely in the United States.
Non sequiturs are usually considered fallacies even if they do not contain ad hominems. You are welcome to get argument whenever you have enough logic and reason.

In other words, you're saying that this idea of tax cuts is simply a sham and has no value.
Did you apply any intellectual elbow grease to this post before you hit the "egg-on-my-face" button?
Nope, knowing people around, that would be a sheer waste of time. I just try to argue at the level it can be comprehended. Sometimes, like in this case, the attempt is clearly successful.
