Debate: Communism: Good or Bad?
Side: Good

"Most of the responses YOU made on my debate don't require or even ask for a follow up opinion from me. "I don't know exactly what debate you are referring to, or what responses but i take your point that i can be ass sometimes."that you cant believe I look at corporations the way I do "That one really does baffle me."and that because I don't like the occupy movement my optimism about change is not realistic."Well please explain to me how it is realistic, im sorry but i beleive very little will change unless it is forced to change. Look at Obama, he rode on a ticket of change, and many leftists, and liberals are now digusted with him cause he has changed nothing.he didn't bring the troops home, he incresed the number in afghanistan, started a new war in Libya, and tripled the umber of drone strikes which have killed thousands of poor Pakistani civilians, this from a president who was supposed to against war, who won a nobel peace prize."This topic (like many you and I engage in) are far more complex then can be summed up in a few sentences. "Are you saying tis pointless to debate it?"The number of customer has dropped a bit but the hourly wage raises every year this year it is raising another 0.20 we might have to let people go because we cant afford to give everyone twenty cents more."I really don't know what business model they operate on, i know of very few business that increase their workers wages on an annua basis unless those increases are necessary due to inflation, and budgetry changes."All these expenses are not caused by big business but rather big government. "You see them as being separate entities, i do not."he government is trying to change the health care system to and in the process making insurance companies cover people that they normally wouldn't have which causes the price to rise for everyone including the corporation I work for."Even if this is true how comoe you aren't complaining about the digusting military industrial complex, do you that consumes more than health and education?"Did you know that the US has one of the highest corporate taxes in the world "Yes."we tax the one percent almost 40% even though they use less of government resources (thet that money funds)than any other class. "I hope you can except what i am about to say, i will try to delviever it with as little ego as possible.I have heard this before, its a popular myth espoused by right wing news sources, they quote it in the face of anyone attempting to claim the rich have an easy ride in the US, the problem is it is a myth.Please read the following refutation:"2. The wealthiest Americans don’t carry the burden.This is one of those oft-used canards. Sen. Rand Paul, the tea party favorite from Kentucky, told David Letterman recently that “the wealthy do pay most of the taxes in this country.”The Internet is awash with statements that the top 1 percent pays, depending on the year, 38 percent or more than 40 percent of taxes.It’s true that the top 1 percent of wage earners paid 38 percent of the federal income taxes in 2008 (the most recent year for which data is available). But people forget that the income tax is less than half of federal taxes and only one-fifth of taxes at all levels of government.Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance taxes (known as payroll taxes) are paid mostly by the bottom 90 percent of wage earners. That’s because, once you reach $106,800 of income, you pay no more for Social Security, though the much smaller Medicare tax applies to all wages. Warren Buffett pays the exact same amount of Social Security taxes as someone who earns $106,800."Source: http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-17350-9_things_the_rich_dont_want_you_to_know_  about_taxes.html "The class that uses the most is the one that doesn't get taxed at all. Do you think thats fair?"I think that its digusting that we live in a world where 3 people can control more wealth than 700 million, i think its digusting the way greed consumes the human soul producing mechanistic humans compeltely fake in nature, i think its disgusting that we live in a beautiful world we are slowly destroying with little care for ourselves or our environment. There isn't a whole lot i consider fair about this reality."I am that lowest class so I don't have a bone in the fight."You should never refer to yourself as the lowest class, people should never equate wealth with social standing. Beauty, grace, insight, and truth are not bestowed by some organisation, or society, nor should the the approval of others be sought to confirm your own self worth."We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."-Oscar Wilde
