Tiberius Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Seriously?? Post of the year. How do you define far left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 How do you define far left? Well I'm not going to list all the ideals that define far left but the biggest is social equality through the redistribution of wealth which I'm pretty sure you're all for. Tax the rich right? BTW I really hope you see the incredible irony in your post I quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax the rich right? BTW I really hope you see the incredible irony in your post I quoted. So anyone that is for progressive taxation and redistribution of wealth is far left? Well, I got news for you, that's a basic feature of our government and has been for over 100 years. I'm pretty main stream actually. And if you clowns had your way and said to most Americans that taxes for the rich would be reduced so Socialist Security and Medicare will be reduced to compensate you would find my position is even more mainstream. Most Americans, including many wealthy people, think the wealthy should pay higher taxes than the poor and middle class. You just want to label me far left because I kick your ass in arguments Oh, and please tell me what the irony is you are talking about. Why do I get the feeling you won't? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol So the rich should pay more in taxes than the poor and middle class? No **** Sherlock. Who's saying they shouldn't? And I won't answer your question? Of course I will. You call anyone who is conservative a right wing republican hack and then you say we call anyone who is a Demoncrat is a far right. I assume you meant far left. You don't see the irony in that?

Bob in Mich Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 These are marginal US tax rates.... today they can get as high as 39% or so, if I recall. As recent as 1986 the highest rate was 50% As recent as 1981 the highest rate was 70% As recent as 1964 the highest rate was 77% From 1949 - 1963 the highest rate was 91% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you meant far left. You don't see the irony in that? There is no irony there. Most of you guys are Right Wing, ill informed, hacks. And I am a moderate to liberal Democrat. So you are wrong. Again, what makes me far left? You have utterly failed to point that out These are marginal US tax rates.... today they can get as high as 39% or so, if I recall. As recent as 1986 the highest rate was 50% As recent as 1981 the highest rate was 70% As recent as 1964 the highest rate was 77% From 1949 - 1963 the highest rate was 91% The high taxes of the WW2 era were slowly reduced. That kind of explains what happened to the War on Poverty, it was starved for funds. Ut oh! Did I just say something "far left"??? if you were kicking his, or anyone else's ass in arguments, we wouldn't all be calling you 'retard', would we? Wow, just wow. Can't argue with that.

Your posts ooz uber left wing ideals. So to call yourself moderate is a joke Me? I'm very conservative. Very right wing, hell I'm to the right of Atilla the Hun. At least I can admit it.

Koko78 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm still waiting for the examples of the 3 categories of guns so I know how to appropriately order mine. The scary looking ones are solely for murdering people. The less scary looking ones are for slaughtering poor innocent animals as well as murdering people. The ones that are in between scary and less scary looking need to be decided on a case-by-case basis as to whether or not they are appropriate for only murdering people or a combination of homicide and animal cruelty. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 These are marginal US tax rates.... today they can get as high as 39% or so, if I recall.

Here's a hint to get you started: compare exemptions from today's top bracket and exceptions from the brackets in question. Your takeaway will inevitably be that no one paid anywhere near 91%. As such your comparison is far from apples to apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 These are marginal US tax rates.... today they can get as high as 39% or so, if I recall.

But if you are honest, you would have to admit if almost all adults are carrying weapons we will have more shootings of people than we have today. Nothing wrong with shootings as long as the right people get shot. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cops-calif-man-80-fatally-shot-pregnant-home-intruder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
