More crap! Great answer. I'm suggesting that the left teaches it's own very bad policies. The "you don't have to work to eat, or have a place to live. And you don't have to contribute. But that's a pat answer for a progressive. CRAP

Spread the responsibility. Give something! Do something! Rise up! Work your God given talents..... or give what you have to those who do something so it can multiply.
As usual, you assume that all the world's ills are caused by a relatively few deadbeats, who, according to you, contribute nothing to our society.

""you don't have to work to eat, or have a place to live. And you don't have to contribute. But that's a pat answer for a progressive. CRAP"

That's the crap I am talking about. It's just right-wing rhetoric with no facts to back it up. You just have to blame everything on somebody else don't you?

The vast majority of the poor do work, contributing something, but you are so blind in your hatred of them that you simply can't see it.

You're the Great Assumer. What I said to Brew was that everyone should contribute something, you distorted it from there.

I didn't distort anything. I questioned your assumption that poor people don't contribute and that making them pay an insignificant amount of their meager incomes would make any kind of difference in dealing with the deficit.

""TAX THE RICH MORE," THAT'S THE ANSWER TO PROSPERITY."

Yes, that is the road to prosperity. It leaves more money in the hands of those who will spend it on things other than mansions, yachts, Rolls Royces, etc. The wealthy don't produce much except profits from things like hedge funds, which puts everyone else, who invests in markets, at risk.
Neal. They produce jobs. But being a leftie there should be no need for jobs. The government shall provide.

Are you suggesting that if they are taxed more, they will stop producing jobs? If so, on what basis do you make that determination? I've said before, and I think the facts will bear it out, that most new jobs are created by small business people who are not rich, but have a good idea and are willing to sacrifice their own personal wealth in order to make their idea successful. This notion that it's the wealthy who create all the jobs is just more
Fox mantra.

Add tax burden and they will do what they must to maintain their profit level. That might mean curtailing hiring or laying off. Profit is their sole reason to be in business.

Yes it is, but profits come before taxes are levied. If a corporation doesn't think it worthwhile to stay in business and pay taxes on those profits, they should find another endeavor.

Jim, that's silly.

You're claiming that if they are making less profit they'll lay off people?

That means they would be forced to produce less and therefore make even less profit.

Any manager stupid enough to do that deserves to lose his company.

But, but, but, miller claims to have been a teacher of business. Surely he knows that.
