  • Nothing is more commical than this mans hatred of wealth.

    According to this prick's corrupt morality, a man who has worked long and hard in order to own a beautiful house must be held in contempt if he lives in his beautiful house, unless he gives it away to someone else who hasn't worked as hard.

    • @drivenwell2 According to Ayn Rand the 3 highest virtues are reason, purpose and self esteem.

      If you have no reason, then I would guess that you do not have a reasonable job.

      If you have no purpose then I guess that you are in a dead-end job and

      If you have no self esteem, I would doubt that you have a nice girlfriend, lest she value your threefold lack of virtue.

  • Leftists like Cenk find it impossible to believe that the best way to raise revenue is to increase taxable economic activity and the size of the economy rather than increasing tax rates...which has the exact opposite effect.

      Why do you think capital gains revenues increase after rate cuts?

      In the US, 47% of workers pay no income tax at all, and most of those are actually getting "credits", i.e., checks from the government that come from those to do pay taxes.

      The US system is the most progressive in the world.

      And, to answer your question, I don't think businesses should pay taxes AT ALL...because taxes are a cost of doing business that's passed on to consumers.

      You have to laugh at all the fools who think that increasing corporate tax rates does anythi More..

  • The most irrelevant man in America. We don't need more taxes on the wealthy, we need more tax payers.
