evilweasel posted:maybe you shouldn't randomly not pay the bills of your poor employees and contractors just for the fun of seeing their faces as they sob and beg for the money they earned to feed their starving families you really aren't in any position to be criticizing anyone for anything, and the fact that yospos lets you post here at will is further proof that its filled with rich rear end dirtbags you literally were pals with an actual, honest to god cia agent

"the poor" includes, if extended across a sliding temporal window, a majority of americans remember romney's "47%" speech? that "47%" includes, at least temporarily, a majority of the children in america. and a majority of the old people. and a majority of the very ill i am pretty sure it is not a bad thing that 47% of the population receives more in benefits than they pay in income tax. (particularly since income tax is not the main tax for most people)

also just to steer the conversation back in the right direction, i don't believe "poverty is noble" or any other trope you want to attribute to me in your slander what i believe is that people who work honest labor should not be impoverished in favor of people who perform nothing but worthless activity because capital has a vested interest in breaking worker solidarity in favor of rewarding a few who will vigorously defend it because they managed to pull the ladder up behind them it really galls me when a bunch of computer touchers talk about being communists when their entire profession exists to oppress workers

The trick is to stop being poor. There are plenty of ways to go about it, such as being born rich. It's so simple, even a baby can do it.

see the really funny part about all this is that even if i were lying about not being poor, yospos is perfectly happy to mock people who they have more tangible proof of their poverty like smoka so this whole song and dance is just farcical on its face

Mr. Nice! posted:i asked about your opinion on income tax vs consumption tax and the estate tax. i'm not that knowledgeable about taxation, i know that sales taxes are inherently regressive and actual rich people get around income taxes through capital gains and the like so whatever results in richies paying more taxes and penalizes them for hiding money in investments or creating startups or whatnot

smoka is actually poor and also never shuts up about things that are extremely achievable even within limited means that's the performative part of the (actual) brokeness
