Yeah, I would be happy as a mofo if someone gave me a million bucks and all I had to let go of was 35%.

So if I earn a $1 million a year and the government steals 35% of it to give to a group of people that can't or won't earn it, then who would be greedy?

Again with the misguided definitions because by your definition it wouldn't be the bloodsuckers but the one actually capable of earning something.


speaking for myself, if I 'earned' a net of 650000 per year, I would be happy,,

but that's just me


understanding that my dollars wouldn't have MY name on it so that I could be able to argue that MY SPECIFIC dollars ended up in the pocket of some who couldn't or wouldn't earn it, as opposed to it ending up in the pocket of those who can and will and are in need,,,,



if I griped that 350000 was feeding and clothing and providing shelter for families s well as military and seniors and disabled, instead of also coming to me,, ID feel greedy,,,but that's just me






But that didn't answer the question, it was just an attempt to justify robbery at the point of the governments gun.

And saying that thievery was ok because they only stole 35% is just pure idiotic. Using your analogy, then we have a lot of non-criminals in our criminal justice system, let me explain in detail so you can possibly understand.

So if I stop by the First Fiat Bank down on the corner and use my gun to take say a $1 million and they have net assets of $1 billion, then I wouldn't have committed a crime because I have taken less than the government with all their guns.

So why do all those poor misguided souls keep going to jail for stealing such miniscule sums? I mean they were just trying to support themselves and their families while cutting out the middle man, the government. And besides it's just fiat pieces of paper with no real value.

I can't wait to see how this one gets spun.

I can see the logic in that but if you get paid to do what you would do for free anyway, is that a four letter word?

Does an oBummerphone come with that?:wink:

It's really comical how many excuses the chronically unemployed can come up with for not working.

Wonder if Barry will pass a law claiming chronic unemployment a disease.

Hey if you play your cards right, not only the Odumbophone,but an Odumbohouse, Odumbobeer, and Odumbofood.

Hey there is nothing like sitting around eating Odumboribs while sipping on Odumbobeer at your Odumbohouse talking on your Odumbophone. And if you are really good at it, they will throw in some Odumbopainkillers. And you could use some Odumbocash to buy some weed too. What a friggin life.

that would be a false assumption, since there is more than just making a ridiculous amount of money,, that causes a feeling of elation in someone like me,,,

So again you change your definition. First you were elated if someone stole $350,000 and left you with $650,000 and now it is just a ridiculous amount of money. So if I saw you on a street corner, what would it take to make you elated...a quarter? a half dollar? or do we need folding money?

wow,,,,keep up with the times


ridiculous is slang for something that is unbelievable

no definition was changed by me


it would be UNBELIEVABLE to earn that type of money since only about one percent of americans can or do


and I would be elated (quite happy) to be one of those people,,,


I don't imagine I would be on a street corner, I am blessed with a network of people that wouldn't allow that to happen

If I was unfortunate enough to lose that network, I would definitely find ways that didn't require me to merely be out on the corner,

Im not without other resources,,,,

Unbelievable, ridiculous, a paltry little million. In order to earn a million dollars, there are tens or hundreds of millions or maybe a billion dollars involved.

Again, you have absolutely no concept of that which you speak.

Nothing is ever in anything you respond to, now do you get the jet? Doubt it.

And you definitely have no concept of money. You have definitely never dealt with large sums, know what it's like to go to a meeting and walk away with documents worth millions, all in a days work. Or to go to a meeting and sign documents spending millions, all in a days work. And personally, that's a whole other story, but one I would project you shall never know.
