So you probably shouldn't quote me as if you had.

Feel free to ignore me and my responses. I quoted your statement, and you are doing all you can to ignore that you said it and detract from that statement.

Not all of us sit around all day reading page after page, here.

Even if I grant you that yes, you totally missed the context -- I still want to know what goes through someone's head when they read:

"It is unethical to exploit people"

and somehow they translate that into

"We need to eradicate all forms of capitalism"

Like I suppose you'd have to have a really ridiculous interpretation of the word 'exploit'

It's time to stop these lazy free loaders from getting rich at our expense. Agree?
So why does the left support welfare deadbeats who feel entitled to the fruits of people who work? You still don't realize that Democrats are the party of the uber rich and the poor only they use the poor to gain your sympathy so you'll support them as they pull on your heat strings to funnel more money to the rich?

Obama was a classic example of this.

It's a complicated question.

I suppose they may be entitled to live off the fruits of people who work directly for them. But that's not the same thing as creating endless tax breaks and windfalls for them.

I love the way that the bailout situations are described: The corporations are capitalist when it comes to accumulating their profits, but communist when it comes to forcing others to join in for their losses.

Seriously. "But think of all those poor, needy, wealthy people!! They don't want to do any work because they have to pay taxes!" I'm sorry, but these people aren't going to get a shred of my sympathy when they have enough money to live comfortably without ever working.

Your post shows how little you know about taxation and the tax code lol

You don't "make" money from a tax plan duh! You do however try to be tax efficient so you can legally keep more of your money. Why do Democrats continue to think the money we earn is the gov't money?
