    “Why do rich people take more money from poor people instead of giving poor people more of their money?”

    A mystery indeed.
    Take? Unless you’re talking about government, no one is taking, except government.

    The rich freely give more than anyone. And what fucking business is it of anyone what a person does with their property?
    The rich have always taken a greater share of the value that their laborers produce. It evened out some following the New Deal but unionbusting and deregulation carried out by Reagan aand Clinton gutted the middle class. The financial crisis and tepid recovery under Obama twisted the knife.
    Seems to me that plenty of rich folks created wealth that didn't exist prior to their labor. If your beliefs were accurate why wouldn't we have a 1920s GDP today?

    Who did Bill Gates steal his money from?

    “Why wouldn’t we have a 1920s GDP today?”

    Explain how you think economic growth works? It’s a rhetorical question but still one of the dumbest you’ve ever offered.

    The tens of thousands of employees at Microsoft and Facebook receive in income a fraction of the value they create for people like Gates, Zuckerberg, and the companies’ upper management/shareholders.
    Define “their value”. And if you go to the labor theory of value fuck off and light yourself on fire.

    I don't know about "freely" but the richest 1% currently pay nearly 40% of all income taxes. If they've "rigged" the system, they sure have done a shitty job at it.
    When I said freely I meant by their own free will. Taxation isn’t giving freely, it’s taking under the threat of violence.
    Under threat of violence? El oh fucking El.

    Refuse to pay taxes and see what happens. Dumb fuck.

    So if a person gets sentenced to prison for not paying taxes, they can just ignore it, or will people who can leaglly have automatic weapons come for them?

    Why do they pay most of the income tax? Leftards really don't think things through. Explain the Oregon PERS system to me and how it is rigged for the rich? Explain why leftards are opposed to vouchers that would give poor black kids and their parents a fighting chance?

    Well this is a stupid line to take.

    Let’s say there’s a football game and the referees decide they’re only going to call penalties on the away team. Now, the away team could still win but the home team has been given an unfair advantage. That is what we are describing as rigged. It’s not 100% outcome decided rigged but rigged fits the situation. The reason it’s this way is because we have elections. They avoid big dick swinging fuck you moves, for the most part, and instead take smaller steps hoping you won’t notice (it’s working).

    You may disagree with the way the word is being used but if you can’t figure out what we mean then you’re just being a fucking idiot. It comes across like you reached your conclusion on this before understanding the arguments. So you don’t know how to make arguments for and against it because you don’t understand them. You just know the conclusion.

    As for vouchers, they don’t work bro. Again you made up your mind that they do because it sounds good to you but the evidence isn’t there. Even the positive studies use words like “modest” and “maybe”. I think it was in Louisiana where proponents of the voucher system claimed victory because they performed as well as public schools. If only every black kid had a chance to go to a school as good as a public school.

    It's clear you've never owned a business or been involved in business decisions. But the vast majority of businesses keep wages and benefits down as best they can. Hence why they spend so much money fighting unions. The lower the wages are, the more money the owners can put in their pocket.
