I'm beginning to re-think my views on taxation.

and fix the system that allows them to scrounge of us - the rest of society who do the actual work



So, where are you going to work when they have to close the business and sell it so they can pay the generational theft tax?

Maybe you can convince the gov't to buy into your 'karmic accounting' claptrap - after all, they've got more money than anyone else that they didn't earn.

So you buy into the Bawny Fwank thinking of "they did nothing to earn it"?



Another one of your "I am not a bigot but ..." posts.

Tell us what Paris Hilton did to earn her millions.

that's right - she did nothing

Agreed.
That money has already been repeatedly taxed




Money isn't taxed, people are.

Government theft of money is all I see.



Taxes aren't theft. They are the dues we pay to live in an advanced society that provides the infrastructure for our ability to live well. If you don't like paying for the benefits of living in an advanced society, maybe you should emigrate to, say, Somalia or Sudan.

Actually, she did quite a lot beyond merely being born as a Hilton. It seems like you'd be better off picking out a rich socialite who did nothing at all.

...(let the children earn their own money rather than scrounging off their parents)



WoooooooHoooooooo!
G'ment take it ALL. Let 'em eat porridge!

Great idea!


:S
Sounds to me as though your envy is clouding your thought processes.

You can't talk common sense to the "have-nots" that are waaaaaay too envious of the "haves".

As much as I dislike her, she has marketed herself with tremendous financial reward.



So marketing yourself as a slut counts as "earning", does it?



Seems equally valid as the concept of 'inheritance = income'.

Well, John, Dreamdancer came up with the best idea for you guys....Tax everything and take it all. I guess that way we could ALL live well. Does that satisfy you?
I'm fairly sure some g'ment, somewhere in space and time, has tried that.

No? Then what are you willing to exclude from being taxed so that YOU can live well?

Ooooooooo! Slam dunk!

Maybe John is jealous because he can't market himself some way to make money.

Strawman argument. Try harder to come up with something valid.

It wasn't me that claimed that beneficiaries "earned" their inheritance. You need new reading glasses.

Typical. Your side proposes it, it's OK.
The other side calls you out on it, it's not.
:D:D:D

Not very well thought-out dodge, John.

You're right...I should have specified...

"...like Paris to make as much money as Paris."

My bad.

Her fortune was handed to her on a platter. Let's not pretend she is a productive member of society.

I'm sorry. I thought she had earned a little on her own. What is YOUR criteria and/or threshold for determining "productive"?

Just the facts. Sorry if they hurt your sensibilities.

I don't think flashing pussy to the paparazzi counts as very productive in the greater scheme of things, although it was certainly good marketing.
