Sounds like life in a corporation

This seems like a self correcting problem here.

I don't believe I referred to the poor as lazy parasites. 213374U seems to think I do too but with him if you oppose the means you must also oppose the ends. Personally I think taxation in any form is theft and government services could be paid for on an as-used basis for a lot of things. And what's left could be funded in other ways. Of course that would mean a government that does far, far less than what people seem to want. So it seems that cow is long out of the barn. As far as not caring for others Libertarians are the champions of private citizens rights. When the City of Riviera Beach in Florida wanted to use eminent domain to seize and demolish a poor neighborhood to build a new upscale marina and shopping center who funded the homeowners court challenge? The Libertarian Party of Florida. Who is helping pay court costs for the challenges to Trump's "muslim ban"? The US Libertarian Party. If your definition of caring for people is making them subservient wards of the state when you won't think libertarians care about people. If your idea of caring is defending their rights and property, protecting their income, and removing the roadblocks to their success and upward mobility then you'll find libertarians care deeply about people. Well didn't say you did say that. Wasn't so much thinking about the party as much as individuals that declare themselves as such. Certainly has coloured my view of them, heh, running across types whose belief boils down to "**** you, I got mine".

Also would need to account for kids.

That's ok, as long as they pay the same percentage as everyone else it's their fair share.Why not let them keep their meager amount though? Some poor people not paying is that much of a bugbear to you? The point about living in a society is true, though, not sure why the poor are automatically lazy parasites or something but libertarians and caring for others isn't typically a package.

Well the people that poor aren't going to contribute all that much as they're on a knife edge. And not as if they are free-loading off the glorious honest 10%, for similar reasons.

Had a moment of despair at work as a client said they forgot everything I explained to them in a 3 hour call on a process. Luckily my burnout overrode such emotion

Think the only 2017 game I boughr was Thimbleweed Park. So I guess it'd have to be that.

Aren't the people who aren't paying (I guess this is a problem for you) not earning enough to pay income tax ?

Thought every one knew that by now.

If it were up to me everyone pays. From $1 up to whatever. If everyone benefits from that the taxes pay, then everyone should pay. So the poor get shafted then. But then again no sales taxes, so that might offset

And what's the minimum amount to be taxed like that?

Grinding out WoW PvP. Good to know the playerbase is still clueless trash.

Seems most of the toys don't merit the price, or at least to me alone. Noticed that when phone shopping. I kind of want a tablet I can use to more comfortably slack off at work with, but can't really project that much use to warrant the cost. Might get a laptop, buddy has a 50% discount code at Lenovo. :D

I think they were pretty good about it the last time they made the proclamation. All those free DLCs for TW3 would have cost fans like $5 each from EA. Yeah, but this is cheap PR and game consumers are gullible morons. Time will pass, they can still change.

I always find comments whining about people bashing someone hypocritically funny as often it's never the same people. Or at least proven. Ah, the Internet.

Honestly, at this point I just silently pray that someday people can realize their dreams of creating an objectivist utopia out there on the high seas or in orbit where they can establish whatever tax policy they want to. I always remember that quote about libertarians being anarchists that want police protection from their slaves.

That's socialism for you.

Well looks like Mugabe might be done without ending up like Ceausescu, so that's something good. Not sure the new boss there will be any better, well maybe for China.

Don't insult the Big E that way That's my wallpaper incidentally, best piece of 40k art I've seen

Well, talk is cheap.
