Taxation and exemption policy

[Koga No Goshi]

Do the rich get more government? No they just pay more for the same thing wether they make 60 or even 70 hours a week instead of the comfortable bliss that is a 40 hour week, nope that is not fair it's legalised theft and nothing more then that.

The rich benefit more from government.

You think poor people wanted the war in Iraq? You think poor people have the police respond quickest to their calls? Do poor people get the best school districts? The best libraries? The best local services? You think poor people lobbied for tax incentives for corporations to take jobs overseas? You think poor people voted to subsidize the oil industry? Do the poor get better medical care? Do they even get medical care? You think poor people serve less and get more out of what Americans in the military uniform do than the rich?

Don't give me this crap about how the rich are victims in our society. All that's been going on for the last 8 years is institutionalized corporate welfare, first with all the no-bid contracts paid for with taxpayer money off the budget, in Iraq, in Katrina, now the bailout. The rich are happy to take their tax cut, happy to outsource their business, and happy to bring those products back into the country, tarriff-free, and still charge the same price as if they'd made them here, paying higher wages, under stricter environmental and safety standards. They are also happy to sign themselves $18 million dollar CEO compensation packages for 3 weeks of work, as happened with 1 CEO for Washington Mutual, while big companies like Wal Mart pay employees minimum wage and encourage them to sign up for welfare.

The more you talk, Fragony, the more obvious it becomes you really don't know half as much about America as you think you do. We do NOT have a socialist system where everyone gets the same thing no matter if they work 40 or 60 hours... if that is your axe to grind with your country don't project it onto the U.S., it isn't accurate. We have the greatest disparity of wealth out of first world countries, our distribution of wealth compares more to third world countries and oligarchies.
