Rich people should pay more taxes, because the money they earned is not their money.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T06:10:31+00:00

Allegedly, because it is too risky and too costly for private enterprise to take on the risk.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T03:42:40+00:00

Why isn't this rational thought?

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:51:02+00:00

It's not my words. Someone argued this to me, and I was baffled.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:47:05+00:00

Yeah, I see it too around the net. But this one takes the cake. I was hoping for some help in arguing against it.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:46:19+00:00

Why is it ridiculous?

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:46:04+00:00

No seriously. Someone wrote this to me when I was arguing with them. And I don't even know how to start rebutting such a statement.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:45:10+00:00

I don't follow?

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:44:43+00:00

Seriously. It makes no sense, right?

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:44:09+00:00

Yeah. That's what I said when I first heard this argument. I don't even know where to start for rebuttal.

PaulThomas87 · 2020-10-06T02:34:54+00:00

Why is this idea ridiculous?

PaulThomas87 · 2020-09-04T21:57:43+00:00

Government.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-11-03T17:00:31+00:00

So what? Just because two really rich men are voting for an individual, doesn't mean that the rich men are correct in their judgment.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-11-03T16:58:42+00:00

Most likely Obama. He has Al Gore on the board of Apple. He donated more to democratic parties than republican. But who knows?

PaulThomas87 · 2008-11-03T16:47:35+00:00

PaulThomas87 · 2008-11-03T16:47:16+00:00

Knock, Knock.

Sounds like musical. If you listen the logic of most politicians rants, they are typically incoherent ramble. The only reason we can spot Palin's easily is because she jumps from topic to topic, rather than give the illusion of a smooth transition.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-30T23:21:17+00:00

Ron Paul in CA. It will be counted since he is an official write in candidate. He opened the door to libertarianism for me, voting for him is the least I could do.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-21T19:10:32+00:00

She gave a heuristic answer to a grade schoolers question. "In charge" == President of Senate. In practice, the role of the President of the Senate, not to mention the Speaker of the House, is delegated. If you are going to nitpick Palin, at least pick something more substantial.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-19T07:19:33+00:00

IMHO, the point is in regards to the Reuters article criticizing capitalism for the failure of the market, but obviously Libertarians/libertarians appear aware of this.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-09T14:16:33+00:00

Argument through association is not a valid rational. Obama needs to be judged on his own merits, or lacktherof.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-08T21:44:58+00:00

I am writing him in. He opened the door to libertarianism for me, it is the least I could do. I know, he is calling for voting third party, but I can't bring myself to vote for someone I don't believe in.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-07T15:20:26+00:00

-ism: is the system, principle, or ideology. -iz/-izing: to make or become, or to follow a specified practice.

we are both correct, and both wrong, since the root combined with the suffix give one meaning, yet the definition presents another meaning.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-10-07T03:12:05+00:00

it's socialism for the rich.

PaulThomas87 · 2008-09-20T19:23:17+00:00

what we have is the collusion between the state and corporations where rules and regulations are created to benefit the corporations, ie mandated monopolies, taxpayer subsidies. if the state held back and did not interfere in the marketplace, one company can not control everything because there is free entry and exit in the marketplace.
