    The president that H lies about voting for raised SS taxes and wanted to cut spending

    The people that H did vote for accused him of wanting to kill grandma

    Bush 1 broke his promise to raise taxes like a good little soldier and the people that H votes for used that broken promise to elect tax and spend Bill

    “Though rising total spending on the old is justified, a full-scale gerontocracy is not. Retirees with deep pockets do not need public handouts. On the contrary, they should bear a heavier burden as taxes shift from wages, towards property, inheritance and consumption.”

    Time to stop engaging in this fantasy about lowering taxes when you have a society filled with old fuckers living on entitlements. The olds are too numerous and too wealthy overall not to be paying more.

    Fuck the fuck off. There is no reason 'society' deserves the benefit of living frugally, investing soundly and leaving behind something for one's family. Or to charity or whoever the fuck they want?

    Fuck off. FUCK OFF.

    How about the government live within its means and stay the fuck out of the income distribution game?

    FUCK OFF.
    Throbber just wonders why we can't all be characters in Atlas Shrugged.

    H has successfully argued that social security isn't an entitlement but is an income tax

    So mission accomplished there

    Even though that destroyed his "point"

    Social security is plainly an entitlement. Don't make blob come here and correct you.
    Then why cut it?

    Don't worry the grab will only ever effect the very rich. Until they need more of your tax dollars to waste and then the trickle down to the middle class will come.

    Did you talk to your father, the retired public school teacher, about this?

    Not sure if he’s still around.

    If he is, please advise him to donate your portion of his estate to the federal government.

    Ever consider another option: less government and much fewer government employees.

    Since you’re a real Conservative, self-proclaimed Reagan afficianado, just wanted to tell you, I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

    So you believe that people should be taxed even more again when inheriting property or other assets that were ultimately paid for with after tax dollars in the first place.

    Brilliant.
    Assuming you’re talking about some sort of “fairness” concept, it should be pointed out that the appreciation on these assets was never taxed and that large estates are primarily composed of appreciated assets.
    I like your ideas. Let’s try the taxes you suggest on the legal profession.

    Since approximately 70% of them in the world are in the United States and they contribute little, if anything, to the common good, let’s start there. You in?

    Life isn’t “fair” and the Government will never make it that way.

    All you have to do is look at our career politicians, almost all lawyers. Who do they look out for, first and foremost?

    Grow the fuck up!

    I used to subscribe to the economist and really enjoyed it. then a few years back it started to have stupid takes and was way biased. I saw this link below recently and it makes sense. All the worst things seem to have the same people associated with them, at some point it’s not coincidence.
