Debate: The Wealthy Don't Pay Their Fair Share? Au Contraire
Side: More, they should pay more!

Your infographic doesn't provide a long enough timeline to develop a pattern. I submit to you that the 20's 50's & 60's were arguably the most prosperous decades in terms of quality of life. The top tax rate throughout the 50's and into the 60's was 90%. During the "roaring 20's" the tax rates for each year were:1920-73%'21-73%'22-58%'23-58%'24-46%1925-1930-25%The 20's started off "roaring" and coincidentally had the highest top tax rates. The later part of the 20's saw a decline which lead to the Great Depression from 1929-1939. During the Great Depression the top tax rate was once again raised. From 1932-1935 the top tax rate was 63% and was raised again from 1936-1940 to 79%. So essentially the top tax rate was high and the country was prosperous, then it was lowered and we experienced the Great Depression, then it was raised again and the depression subsided. Since the current recession started in 2007 the top tax rate has stayed between 35-39.6% and many of the statistics related to the economy still haven't returned to pre-recession levels. Your infographic is just further proof of the widening income gap in America. In the 1990's the 1% earned 45% of the country's total income. By 2002 the top 1% were earning 65% of the country's total income. Since 2009 the 1% have been earning over 90% of the country's total income. So let's be conservative and say that in 2013 (the last year of your chart) that the 1% were earning "only" 80% of the total income. Even still, they only account for 22% of overall taxes paid. Anybody with a calculator can tell you that a 39% tax on 80% of the total income would equate to 31% of the total taxes paid. One might argue that this could be due to "charitable contributions" but those would merely offset the capital gains tax and cancel each other out, or at the very least it would account for a much smaller percentage of the gap. Where's the rest of the money? Hidden with clever accounting tricks, tucked away in tax havens and all the other shady loopholes they exploit to avoid paying their fair share. The 1% earn the vast majority of all the countries income, they have the highest tax rate and they STILL don't contribute a proportional amount in taxes and you can honestly say that they pay their share and believe it?!

I understand that many wealthy people became wealthy by working harder than others.However, some people were lucky. They either inherited their money or won a lottery or something.The tax for this type of money transfer should be extremely high

Re:"However, some people were lucky. They either inherited their money or won a lottery or something."Yeah, we can't let them get away with it. I mean, who do they think they are? Lucky bastards; we need to take them down a notch or two to show em who's boss. Let's just take it all from, that'll show em. Then we can feel better about ourselves.

Sometimes extremes make your point better. The essence of his argument is assuaging resentment and envy, a philosophy that will not serve him, or anyone well in life.

You really have no idea what the inspiration behind his argument is. You make assumptions of those you disagree with, based upon the possibility that reflects the worst possible foible.A philosophy that will not serve you, or anyone, well in life :P

No you don't, you reduce others arguments to your limited perception of who they are based entirely and solely on your reaction to them disagreeing with you, which seems to be universally negative and often hostile.

I do in fact. In your case, you are projecting your limitations and bigotry on me in a very hostile manner. I suggest you get counseling to help you deal with the real world.

Ya I'd rather go to heaven rather than burning my ... in hell. But for real in heaven you would always be happy, no death, no pain, nothing but joy and you'll always be with God. Sounds a little corny but there is nothing corny about it, what else would you expect paradise to be?

If anything, He should be in this "hell".God. Seriously, what DON'T you like about him?To reiterate; genocide, murder, oppression and negligence. Examples include the murder of every first born son of Egypt, guilty or otherwise; the complete annihilation of all life on Earth with the exception of two from each species; the advocacy of slavery (Leviticus 25:45 "Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession."), the condemnation of every non-Christian to an eternity of suffering for any unconfessed sin and finally the callous refusal to intervene in deplorable world events. Naturally, I don't believe he exists, but if He did then the above would be my quarrels with Him.Christians. I think Demons are worse.From what I have seen in history, there is little distinction to be made betwixt them. Church. Well, Heaven's a little different.Presumably one massive church.inging. If you COULD sing, would you?No.Facial Hair. I'll tell you one thing; you certainly won't have it in Hell.A redundant statement.

Ya' know?Please refute the point; why do you want eternal pleasure if gluttony and opulence are sins?The fact that you spend so much time searching and researching proves that you do believe in God and that you just do not like Him.No, it means I know what I am talking about, whereas you do not.You just proved that you believe in Demons!No, I did not.because otherwise you couldn't compare them to something real, like Christians.I can compare you to a mystical creature which speaks nothing but lunacy, but that does not posit belief in it.And you will be in one massive hellAnother redundant statement.You would probably be forced to sing in hell anyways,I am quaking in my boots.Because it's true or you don't have anything to say.Neither. As I have expressed a hatred of facial hair, it is implied that I believe the fictional realm of Hell to be a place wherein there is none. It is therefore pointless to point it out to me.A hell where torment is the only thing you feel for eternity.I cannot stand to be in church for one hour, eternity in it would be far worse than pain.Being uncormfortable.If you meant uncomfortable, then I am unmoved. I am uncomfortable when sitting in plastic chairs, which I do for approximately 6 hours for five days of the week.

I should prefer an eternity of pain and suffering to an eternity of subservience to your evil, murderous God.If God is (according to you) 'evil and murderous', then so is a judge, police officer, and anyone connected with law.As I said, I would prefer Hell to your nimbus prison.I doubt you'll be saying that after you die.That is an outright fabrication. Theologians have no evidence upon which to base this claim; scientists have nothing to test.They have the claims of those who have gone there, what they saw and felt, and the description.I do not understand your grammar. Please reiterate.You, as in the person I am speaking/typing to, won't have any possesions. How can you be greedy, if you like everybody else there don't HAVE anything?Curious that your primary motivation to follow Christian teachings is the promise of having your every desire fulfilled. Such a reward seems antithetical to your professed beliefs.You know as well as I do that the desires indicated are not those that are sinful.I have nothing to be ashamed of. The sin for which I shall allegedly suffer is that of refusing to submit to a fictitious God who is responsible for genocide, murder, oppression and negligence. If anything, He should be in this "hell".Murder? Give me an example (in context, obviously). Genocide? Well, genocide against demons, yes. But then again, you aren't seriously standing up for something that WANTS to hurt you? Oppression? Last I checked God wasn't forcing people to follow him. Negligence? In what way(s)?Examples include the murder of every first born son of Egypt, guilty or otherwise;You do realise Moses gave more than enough warnings...the complete annihilation of all life on Earth with the exception of two from each species;Do you actually know what God was getting rid of with the flood?the advocacy of slavery First of all, he's not advocating slavery; he's telling the jewish tribes what they are allowed to do with their captured enemies. We aren't in the desert, or part of jewish tribes, and we don't even have the enemies God talks about in this passage. So if this doesn't apply to us now, where shall we look to? Well, I know that the New Testament does... the condemnation of every non-Christian to an eternity of suffering for any unconfessed sin and finally the callous refusal to intervene in deplorable world events.First of all, the condemnation is for everyone to repent their sins so that they are truly sorry. If you aren't sorry for committing murder, athiest or not, you cannot enter heaven.If God interfered in world events then that would make him more oppressive because He created us NOT to serve as puppets, but so that we can choose how to live our lives.From what I have seen in history, there is little distinction to be made betwixt them.Then you can't have seen much of history (or Hell) for that matter.Presumably one massive church.Or city of life.A redundant statement.Do you know what happens when hair meets fire?That depends upon what hell is. There is no universally accepted image.But Hell is portrayed as a nasty place nonetheless, and Heaven a wonderful place.

If God is (according to you) 'evil and murderous', then so is a judge, police officer, and anyone connected with law.Judges do not condemn thousands of innocent people to death on account of one man's recalcitrance. I doubt you'll be saying that after you die.I very much doubt that I shall say anything at all at such a time, being dead.They have the claims of those who have gone there, what they saw and felt, and the description.Sent a massive drill-vehicle did they? Or are you referring to people who had near-death experiences after consuming copious amounts of drugs?You, as in the person I am speaking/typing to, won't have any possesions. How can you be greedy, if you like everybody else there don't HAVE anything?Greed is useless if you have everything.You know as well as I do that the desires indicated are not those that are sinful.Opulence and mundane pleasures are quite explicitly condemned in the Bible; that book you have never actually read. Murder? Give me an example (in context, obviously).I believe he killed a great many of the Jews when they started worshipping statues. He was also accessory to murder when he ordered Satan to kill Job's children.Genocide? Well, genocide against demons, yes.I imagine Hitler called the Jews demons. As for God, consider the conquest of Canaan, in which God ordered the Hebrews to completely exterminate the Canaanite people.Last I checked God wasn't forcing people to follow him.Just punishing those who do not with eternal punishment? Sounds like force to me.Negligence? In what way(s)?A loving father would not stand to see his children starve.You do realise Moses gave more than enough warnings...No defence at all. Akin to saying "I did warn her that I was going to rape her if she didn't debase herself" in a court of law. Do you actually know what God was getting rid of with the flood?One does not flood one's house to kill a spider within it.First of all, he's not advocating slavery; he's telling the jewish tribes what they are allowed to do with their captured enemies.He is unequivocally promoting slavery.Then you can't have seen much of history (or Hell) for that matter.The Troubles.The Crusades. The extermination of South-American peoples.The massacre of French Jesuits.The German religious wars betwixt Lutherans and Papists.Or city of life.Filled with dead people.Do you know what happens when hair meets fire?Smacks palm to forehead in disbelief.

Judges do not condemn thousands of innocent people to death on account of one man's recalcitrance.By this you're refering to...?I very much doubt that I shall say anything at all at such a time, being dead.I thought you'd say that. I though we were 'pretending' that Christianity was real?Sent a massive drill-vehicle did they? Or are you referring to people who had near-death experiences after consuming copious amounts of drugs?Near death experiences without the use of drugs.and no the didn't send a massive drill-vehicle, but I'm sure that you know that a person's claims are recorded.Greed is useless if you have everything.Exactly. Therefore greed only exists on earth, and in both Heaven and Hell there is a lack of greed.Opulence and mundane pleasures are quite explicitly condemned in the Bible; that book you have never actually read.Haha that's a good one!I believe he killed a great many of the Jews when they started worshipping statues. He was also accessory to murder when he ordered Satan to kill Job's children.Was this before or after the death of Jesus Christ? You know, when people were able to be forgiven?A loving father would not stand to see his children starve.God isn't on earth. We are, and we know He wants us to help them, so it's up to us to govern ourselves under His guidance. From what I know about Heaven, where God resides, children aren't starving there.I imagine Hitler called the Jews demons. As for God, consider the conquest of Canaan, in which God ordered the Hebrews to completely exterminate the Canaanite people.The thing is, God doesn't lie, whereas Hitler did. Just punishing those who do not with eternal punishment? Sounds like force to me.You stated yourself that sinning and going to Hell was better than following God and going to Heaven. Doesn't sound like force to anyone.No defence at all. Akin to saying "I did warn her that I was going to rape her if she didn't debase herself" in a court of law.Incorrect. Releasing slaves is different to debasing oneself.One does not flood one's house to kill a spider within it.True. But what would you do if your house was infested with spiders which were only spreading? Personally, I'd get it sprayed.He is unequivocally promoting slavery. How? He's placing restrictions on what you may do with prisoners of war from the desert. If they let them go, they would have gone back to their nations and helped again. Does making a prisoner build roads count as slavery? The Troubles... The German religious wars betwixt Lutherans and Papists.I think you misunderstood me. What did GOD do, not Christians. Filled with dead people....Smacks palm to forehead in disbelief.Follows suit*
