Should the 99% give back to the 1%

Moar hilarious gif's pleaz.

53% of the population effectively doesn't pay any taxes anyway. Why not add another 1%?

Who knew the Federal Income Tax was the only tax anyone pays!

I'm going to have a talk with my tax guy.

It's worth considering that particular 1% takes home about half of the money...

I wonder what the top 1% in Africa does to give back to starving African's?

I also highly doubt that most in the "top 5% income of the world's population" have never been overseas ....especially since many don't even live in the US. However, maybe you were being sarcastic and I totally missed it...idk.

In reply to Cotton:

Africans are still just part of their food chain, it's all good.

I like pie.

There will be some discussion, but not much. The lines were drawn before any of us ever showed up on this board. We consistently align with the same philosophy we always do, we always will. This thread won't change anything.

Extreme points of view are just that, extreme. Responding to an extreme, with an extreme gets us nowhere.

Nothing to see here, move along.

This kid gets around!

I love how Ann Rand takes a silly assumption and just goes nuts with it.

Yeah... I wrote a post about how the article is flawed. I just deleted it.

The article is myopically flawed. Any attempt I could make to explain why would ultimately be pointless and cause me to get dragged into a discussion that does nothing but raise my blood pressure.

This thread can do nothing but devolve.

That is all.

"devolve" isn't an actual thing... everything evolves, just not always in the same direction...

Entropy is real.
