    Now it seems that once a person acquires a certain amount of money, then liberals want the rest to be redistributed to all the lazy people and/or used for reparations. New York's mayor Comrade DeBlasio said that there is plenty of money in the world, it's just in the wrong hands.....I think he was referring to people like me AKA white males.

    So how much money am I allowed to have (liquid) before you guys want to confiscate the rest? $2 million? $5 million?

    I'd like to know when I need to quit paying taxes and take my monies elsewhere. :nana:

    You're allowed $134,227.48 cash. Anything more shall be confiscated and given to the poorest people in the local ghetto.

    I think you ask the wrong question. You need to ask about total wealth because we all know you would cheat and invest your money before you paid taxes.

    Accomplishment is so foreign to some people that they cannot distinguish it from cheating.

    Jesus had enough. Anything more than Jesus had is more than enough. By this standard, I have always had more than enough.

    Sure, I'll play too, but tomorrow.
    We could start with the top 1%. 1.26 million households. about 15 trillion in net worth I think. I haven't been able to source the top 1%

    Do you consider your house a liquid asset?
    Maybe someone like Romney with 7 of them, but......

    how many tax cuts for the rich is enough for the right?

    why should you be taxed less on unlabored income them someone that labors for their income?

    you could have 10 billion, your not taxed on the money, your taxed on the income like interest, stock sales profits, ect....

    the rich are part of the problem, trickle down is not happening sadly, used to be the rich felt it was their duty to spend and treat employees better, now the corporations isolate the rich from the greedy corps actions

    "Society" is a theoretical category with which actual people may disagree with the proposition that everyone can live at the expense of everyone else.

    Ok let’s take it. Then there will be a new 1% with somewhat less net worth. We take that too?

    A much better place to start is the place we were in the last time the "government shut down".
    A whopping 17% of the federal government shut down during the last government shut down.
    I say that's a good start.

    Define 'rich'. That's the point. And for whoever that asked, well hell no a house is not a liquid asset. Liquid assets are cash, stock, bonds, etc.

    Not a one of you liberals have come up with a legit number yet but you all yap continuously about 'paying fair shares' and 'having enough' and confiscating wealth. You'll get just as close to taking my cash as taking my guns.....it ain't happening.

    The irony is that the amount of credit available in the global economy is huge. Just for shadow derivatives alone, the notional value is likely around $1.2 quadrillion.

    Apparently, if there is anything that human beings can make easily, it's money.

    Go now.

    It seems you think you are paying too much already...so...do what you say you will do.

    Go elsewhere and take your money with you.

    I would respect that.

    The vast majority of posters on this forum are right wing professing Christians who claim to worship the Prince of Peace. Jesus said to give it ALL away.

    Therefore, your question should NOT be directed at liberals but at conservatives.


    Please re-phrase your question.

    Christians are to put others before themselves and God above money. Nowhere did Jesus advocate for everyone to give everything away.

    False premise.

    You are correct few Christians believe or follow actual tenets though.

    At the IRS. You'll recall this because it was the Obama administration that compromised them to the media.... lest you forget.. Do you not remember the breathless ms Madcow who manufactured her own Geraldo moment only to be dashed on the rocks when the returns showed he paid his taxes? I do. I believe there is actual video still... on youtube... we can attach it if you need....

    The top 1% are already paying almost 40% of the taxes collected, I'm pretty sure they are doing their part.

    And why do we need his tax returns?

    You don't seem to me to be at all concerned about those who have less than you. On the other hand, you seem practically obsessed with those who have more than you. Indeed, the more they have, the less comfortable you seem to be. That's envy. That must be a very uncomfortable thing to live with. I wish you the best, and I hope that you get the help that you need,
