"The rich are too highly taxed."
OK, the rich pay very little in taxes, mainly because the rich have numerous tax writeoffs, depreciate land/assets, etc. They pay fewer taxes then anyone else! (Which is good, because they also give back to scociety alot!)
that question is flawed....
and dang, I'm like...center...

LMAO. :) I'm near no one on that chart....shoot...I'm not even in a quadrent...I'm in between 1 and 2...
I think this things flawed, since I'm quite the conservative as we all know. :D
[B]that question is flawed....[/B][/QUOTE]
No it's not. You either think they're taxed too much or not taxed enough. Basically you're saying if you think the rich should pay more taxes because they're rich or less taxes.
I wouldn't say all rich give back to society a lot. I would say a good proportion of them give back shit all.
(As I am) The rich get tax breaks for giving back, the more they give back, the less they pay (In the US anyway)
makes sence, and everyones happy. :D

quadrent 2. :)
thing is obviously whack, since Bush/Blair and I hold many MANY of the same ideals, yet they list him WAYYYY up/right.

Yeah, they may get tax breaks for giving back, but what if the original level of tax is either not high enough or too high (depending on your opinion)?
And that's my best argument in support of welfare by taxing the rich :)

[B]I'd say the poor contribute more to the economy... Think about it: If a rich person earns a dollar, they (usually) save it somewhere because they have enough to live on already. If they get enough saved dollars, they might go travelling on vacation. But if a poor person finds a dollar they will spend it almost immediately on essentials, locally. Even though the example is stereotypical, it still makes sense as a generalization. Local moving money is what makes an economy grow, not stagnant money, and definately not exported money.[/B][/QUOTE]
I agree compelety!
And because of these rich owners companies "give boot" to workers to increase profit.
If that money would go to workers it would keep economy going and create jobs.
But now when it goes to rich owners they put it to stock market play which don't have too much to do with reality. And then they urge companies to make more profit, even itf it means taking jobs away.
Which first decreases nations tax income and then also causes more costs to nation.

I have no idea how accurate that is
-edit
interesting how people in authority are given authoritarian ratings whereas we, who have no authority, tend to come out as libertarians

True, the poor are generally poor because they spend all their money attempting to appear to be rich. However, the poor also cost the government alot in form of welfare, they cost hospitals alot because they cannot pay, they buy junk, which then is promptly destroyed and sent to the dump....
Now, without the rich, the government has to house these people, pay their medicle bills, etc. The rich provide housing, in the form of rental property. Yes, the government may help with rent, but property damage, etc is the land lords expence.
the rich, when they go to the hospitle are charged an insane amount of money, because it has to recoup losses from treating those that cannot pay.
The rich provide jobs for millions of people, which allows those that WANT to to rise out of lower, and into middle class.
These things help the government, and therefor the government helps the rich, by giving them tax breaks for rentals, etc.
And another thing...the rich don't spend money? Little surprise for you, they still do, they just spend it more wisely, (Sometimes, usually the rich just are a WHOLE lot deeper in debt...)
[B]I contend it is flawed, on the basis that bush, blaire, hitler, etc never took it. :D [/B][/QUOTE]
Seconded. :)

Doesn't look like that!
In recent years it has been trend for big companies to kick out people so that they would make more profit and and to get stocks rising.
And rich owners are those who collect fruits of this.
Government is loser because taxes of capital income are smaller than taxes paid from earned income. Also all these unemployed peoples cause costs to government

I have no idea how that is supposed to work...
[quote][b]However, the poor also cost the government alot in form of welfare, they cost hospitals alot because they cannot pay, they buy junk, which then is promptly destroyed and sent to the dump....[/b][/quote]
So you're saying we shouldn't help the less fortunate members of society? Why should they not get decent health treatment just because they don't have lots of money?

The government provides such things using taxes from the general public. The rich can do it themselves in their own little way, but the government is the one with the capability to ensure even distribution.
This bit also makes me wonder if you've seen your parents have to deal with bad tenants. I know I have, and bad tenants are always annoying, whether they can afford to pay the rent easily or not. In fact, in my experience the ones who seem to be living closer to the edge tend to look after things better because they really need their deposit back if/when they move out.
[quote][b]the rich, when they go to the hospitle are charged an insane amount of money, because it has to recoup losses from treating those that cannot pay. [/b][/quote]
Well if you're expecting people to pay for health care then I guess you should expect to be charged a lot for something so valuable.

What E.T said.
[quote][b]These things help the government, and therefor the government helps the rich, by giving them tax breaks for rentals, etc. [/b][/quote]
I still don't think the rich help out that much.

The rich seem to enjoy spending much more frivolously than the poor, who will spend what little money they have on basic necessities to survive.
