    No. I think rich folk should be generous helping others who are struggling. But TAKE money from them? Absolutely not.

    Noblesse Oblige has it's limits.

    A question no one has ever been able to answer legitimately. How much should be taken to help others, before it becomes detrimental to the one who earned it?

    IMO, Ii so much is taken from one to help others that they do not retain the benefit of their labors in their own consideration, then it is too much.

    No... .what I support is using the central banks of both the USA and Canada to create an extra five hundred dollars per month for all citizens of the USA and Canada that is given to each of them as a taxable but unconditional income supplement to all citizens regardless of their income for each month for all of their lives.

    In a sense the Canadian dollar is owned by all thirty seven point six million Canadians and the USA dollar is owned by all three hundred and thirty million Americans.

    This idea was first put forward by economist Milton Friedman and was meant to avoid the bureaucracy created by a welfare state that is needed to ensure that income supplements only go to the poor...... (which can often lead to punishing people for working and showing initiative and being a productive member of society).

    "A conspiracy to pressure women into having an abortion????"

    When I take a look at the two graphs of how the national debts of both Canada and the USA spiralled out of control since 1974 I have to wonder if there may have been a possible connection to Roe vs Wade that happened in 1973??????

    By causing the national debt of both Canada and the USA to spiral out of control political leaders were able to set up a system that put economic pressure on women to choose to have abortions......... as well as on men to be scared to get married because since 1974 Canada and America became nations where it took two incomes to run a home.

    .....



    A serious error was made by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau in 1974 that allowed for a major deception to occur in The United States of America. Once the error is corrected in Canada the same error will be easily understood in how it affected the economy of the United States of America over the last nearly five decades.



    My theory is that the rather brilliant Bank of Canada policy that was in effect from 1938 to 1974 was too intelligent and logical and had to be messed up so that a deception could be pulled on Americans.... but the deception had to be pulled off on all Canadians first!

    [​IMG]

    Both of these graphs can be viewed here:
    https://famguardian.org/Publications/InThisAgeOfPlenty/plenty34.htm
    Until Canadian Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau could be pressured into messing up a truly brilliant Canadian Bank of Canada policy that had been in use from 1938 to 1974 it would have been difficult to deceive the U.S.A. leadership into spiralling the USA national debt out of control because the contrast between what was happening in the USA with a continuation of the brilliant Bank of Canada policy would have been too dramatic for Americans to not notice the difference.

    Bill Gates and whoever is giving him a lot of his ideas WILL NOT like what I am proposing!

    I conclude from the ratio of likes vs unlikes that roughly thirty percent of people can look past the obvious meaning in an interview and perceive a longer term threat to their children and grandchildren.

    The short video above is, (if I am not mistaken) an excerpt from the following longer video.

    What I support is very different from what Bill has in mind for the world economy.....

    I think the rich should pay the same tax per dollar the middle class pays

    when you hear people like Trump paid $750, it just doesn't seem fair

    That IS how people normally take from the rich and give to the poor. So I guess your answer is "yes".

    Is there any thread where you don't bring Trump up? :rolleyes:

    In any case, you still didn't answer the question. Do you believe in taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor? And yes, that includes through taxation.

    So....that's a "yes"? Taking it from the banks is the same thing.

    At least you straight up admit it. We have others in this thread trying to be coy about it.

    So you get a “here’s the loot we took from the rich” check?
    I pay my taxes, why should Jeff Bezos, or Warren Buffet?

    Well, to seriously answer this question, one must first have agreement or understanding on "What is the purpose of Government?" to begin with.

    You shouldn’t be able to vote for theft. It’s morally wrong

    Trump is a good example of someone rich not paying taxes like the rest of us, and I support everyone paying the same tax per dollar

    It could be a cake recipe thread and you would bring Trump into it. You should charge him rent.

    if there was a cake scandal, and Trump did it, and one was attacking Biden for a cake scandal, I sure would

    we often compare current Presidents to past Presidents, why would we not?

    Trump's priorities....Donald Trump informed the Chinese president that he had launched missile strikes on Syria as the pair ate “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you have ever seen”, the US president has claimed.

    Pretty easy to vote no on that one. Giving of your own to the poor is one thing, taking it from others is another. I think thats often called stealing.
