I pay my taxes just like everybody else. Take up your beef with Admin. Your demand for direct payments for redistribution make about as much sense as a social security pensioner demanding direct payments from Warren Buffet.

Ahhh... the good old Nuremberg defense.

I'm sure the executives at AIG and Bear Stearns were playing within the rules at the time as well.

Let's see some personal responsibility here. Help SD and me out. You can lead the way and show the rest of us how to be part of the solution -- not part of the problem.

Funny how everybody rationalizes whatever it takes to hold onto their shit, isn't it?

 

[Mr. dB]

Excuse me? The Nuremberg defense is "I was just following orders".

 

[Mr. dB]

Show me some precedent for entitlements that involve direct payments from the taxed to the recipients?

Well, recently it would be a 5.4% surtax on high-wealth individuals that would be used to fund health care for the uninsured.

You are welcome to pay your surtax through an admin if you'd like. Would that make you feel better if we ran it through EF? Or does mixing the karma into a pot somehow make it legitimate? Maybe you and dial tone can pool 10-12 million karma together and then split it back out between me and superdave.

Still not analogous in any way to your specious demands. Get off it and find another idee fixe to dwell upon for a while, you're getting tedious.

Nice move dodging the simple solution I posted for you just below the text you chose to comment on.

Pool a few million karma with Dial Tone then split it among superdave and me. I realize he has far less than me, so it would be fair to give him more than I get. Either way, I've got a few million coming and he's got even more than that.

I like this progressive thinking. It means you give me free stuff. Surely you're not mean-spirited enough to not help SD and me. You're not going all rugged individualist on me, are you?

Now you know how I feel when someone whines over mean old Bush's tax cuts for the rich.

You're holding out on silly green dots. I can't imagine how tightly you hold on to your cash.

 

[Mr. dB]

There's nothing analogous there.

 

[mrplunkey]

There's nothing analogous there.

There's nothing analogous when you've got the stuff and don't want to give it to someone else. Strangely enough, people always come-up with a reason.
