What is privilege?

Ever notice how those that don't pay taxes have no problem wanting others that already do to pay more?

Ofc. They want 50% of the population working, while the other 50% sit and home and collect socialized payments.

Is that what we want, or is that what you think we want?

Right now, we want to pay people to stay home and not spread the virus that you said was a hoax 5 months ago.

Happy to go toe-to-toe with anyone here, but you're the ones who thread ban people, who say you're ignoring people (but we know that's bullshit), and who refuses to have a good faith debate.

3.9 T vs 50T logic fail.
Click to expand...

$3.9T is ONE YEAR

$50T is TEN YEARS

You provided a range of $30T-$50T but you didn't say over what period of time those costs cover.

So you failed to provide context, like you fail at everything you try, and the reason you did that was because you're trying to set fungible goalposts to shift within.

A $30T - $50T range is quite a large range, don't you think? That's the difference between $3T a year and $5T a year.

So maybe get your own shitty house in order before engaging with someone who knows what they're talking about.

And yet here you are, responding to many of my posts. Hmmm.

If you really wanted to ignore someone and cut them off, you wouldn't respond to their posts, nor would you announce it.

You'd just do it.

There are several JPP posters who posts I completely ignore. I don't tell them I'm doing it though, nor do I tell them they aren't worth my time despite taking my time to tell them that.

That's how we know you people are full of shit here. You say you put people on ignore, but that's all you talk about! So it defeats the purpose of "ignore" if you say you're doing it, and responding to posts and threads of people you say you "ignored".

Capping SS taxable income never made sense.

The cap should be removed entirely, and everyone pays a flat 6.2% of their income for SS, with employer paying the other 6.2%.

I'm self employed so I pay both and it actually totals 15.4% so you don't even have your figures right

When it’s down the block, yeah, you should be concerned. But this is one spot in Portland which has been continuously protesting for two months since Floyd but really for the last two years.

All the right wing nut jobs moved Idaho and all the left wing nut jobs move to Portland.

Those that choose private schools shouldn't be required to fund the public ones.

Those going to private schools are too young to pay taxes. :)

Their parents pay sales and real estate taxes every year to support the county, their city and their state. Those taxes are spent by local and state governments according to the will of state and local citizens. One of those wills is public education since it’s in every citizen’s interest that all kids have a basic education. It makes them better workers and better taxpayers rather than wards or prisoners of the state.

I don’t have any kids. Are you saying I shouldn’t have to pay any public education taxes? It’s in my best interest to pay public education taxes because it’s better to have those kids grow up and become good taxpayers supporting me in my retirement rather than for me having to always be on my guard to ward off thieves and robbers.

You said, and I quote:



$40T would be right in the middle...unless you're going to claim you never said what you said above.

The $30T-$50T isn't one year, is it? It's over 10 years. That's where that range comes from.

So you're making numbers up?

We wouldn't spend nearly that much at today's given rates.
