Obama: AK-47s are for soldiers!

It's not fair to tax the rich more, but the wealth gap in this country is ridiculous and getting worse. The rich continue to get richer and the middle class continues to disappear. I don't think the answer is to take more money from the rich and give it to the scum, but the status quo is not working.

The problem people like you don't understand is even if you tax the shit out of the "rich" it still won't solve the gov's money problems. The only way to solve those problems is to stop/cut spending- going so far as to eliminate entire cost centers from government. "Taxing the rich" in the face of the whole problem is effectively pissing into the wind. It's feel good bullshit pushed by moonbats. Next thing you know "rich" gets interpreted to be "anyone above the poverty line".

This class warfare shit is stupid, dude, really. You're playing right into the pols hands by buying into it the way you are. The core problem is spending, not revenue.

I don't know, but all of this anti-american socialist "this isn't fair because the government isn't giving me my fair share at life" talk is making my penis very soft. How the f a talk about Barry not liking the AK-47 turns into a bunch of closet progressives talking about how life isn't fair because the government doesn't give them what they deserve is beyond my comprehension. I'd like for them to show up at a AK build that I help out at so I can ask them what part of an AKM is socialist.... wait. Shit.

I'm going to go build another AK tonight and tomorrow, drink a ton of beer, listen to some music, and bask in the glory that my fine country has provided the opportunity for me to realize. Can I do this in f'ing England? How about Canada? Australia? Anywhere? Hell f'n no.

I can drink beer and build AKs in my own home, no matter what Obama wants to spout off about what he approves of or not.

And that will make me hard again. An erection built not on lust, but on bliss that I live in a free world.

Awesome. There are many posts I have enjoyed on this forum, but this one takes the cake. I may use this entire thing as my sig line.[laugh]

Well played sir, well played.
 
Regarding SS there is and could never be an investment in treasuries as treasuries are simply a taxation on future production, not an investment. You paid into a ponzi scheme and now feel entitled to collect from the next batch of suckers.

Treasuries are bonds; they are not fundamentally different from corporate bonds, which I hope you will agree are intended to be viewed as investments. If bonds are "ponzi" schemes then what would consider to be a true investment?

Corporate bonds very different from treasuries. That they both describe their yield and terms in similar ways is where the similarity ends.

It is a sad statement that so many people have come to believe this fallacy that government bonds and corporate bonds are the same thing.

Please stop a moment and think about where the money to pay back the interest and principle on treasuries comes from vs. that of corporate bonds?

Bonds pay their interest principle from future profits which, with a properly running company are increased by growth achieved from changes to or expansion of their business model via the funds raised by the bond issuance.

Treasuries tax future income from citizens of the issuing nation to pay back. That is the same nation which is collecting on social security using these interest payments to offset the inflation that has occurred between paying in and drawing out.

There is no investment here. Only time shifting of taxation and mass self delusion about what is happening.

Until the last few years, SS operated quite literally as a ponzi scheme does with outgoing payments coming from cash taken from incoming payments with the surplus SS taxes being used to offset other government spending. Now that there are more dollars going out than coming in, they must redeem treasuries (i.e. the government must tax or borrow more to pay the difference).

Draw a flow chart of where the money goes in this system and this should become painfully obvious what is gong on. When SS "buys" a treasury, the government is on the selling side of that transaction, either literally or effectively.

Yeah the days of spending like drunken sailors are over. This monster in DC needs a diet.
 
You didn't clarify anything with your ignorant/incorrect burden of proof comment nor did you clarify anything or add anything intelligent with your tail comment. What you posted was simply stupidity.

BTW, as a judge I never had a decision reversed on appeal. So if you want to be a jerk and make more stupid comments like that, go ahead. I won't see them directly. You're going on my ignore list. I wouldn't use any of the terms you list to describe you. I'd say troglodyte is appropriate.

Guess I need to add troglodyte to that list now. First time I've been called that one. [thinking]

So what do you say to the fact that wealth is increasingly concentrated at the top and the middle class is shrinking? Is it just a product of the times (globalization, more hi-tech / high-skilled jobs, etc)? Can/should anything be done about it? Where do we end up if we continue down this path?

It's a symptom of too much government. The more governent there is, the more government there is for large corporations and the rich to abuse. The more power government has, the more power there is up for sale.

For example, if you want the .gov to quit subsidizing big ag and big oil, take away the ability for the governments ability to subsidize those things. If you want the rich to quit using tax loopholes, simplify the tax code to a flat tax.... etc.

Graduating the tax scale and expanding regulation doesn't solve, but rather exacerbates the issues you have. This is what socialist fail to understand.
 
Why is that, because he slapped you around with it? Just asking
If you're going to try to take pot shots you either have to learn to read for comprehension (I said his pain, not mine) or make inane comments that at least make logical sense. [rofl]
 
Hallelujah, I keep hearing the American dream is dead but I'm not seeing it in reality. What I do see is people who didn't have the drive to succeed, couldn't take a risk or made bad choices who then complain that the American Dream is dead because they [STRIKE=]haven't been able to make it happen for themselves[/STRIKE] haven't had it handed to them.

You mentioned his penis and you said you felt his pain! Guess I just filled the void you left open. Just out of curiosity, how many other forums were you booted from before you ended up green in this one?
