Neal, you don't think profit is a motivator? |

But you butted into a foreigners discussion with the rest of us. Get your snotty nose off this thread. |

Of course it is, Jim. It's the amount of profit that we are talking about. People know going in that they will have to pay taxes on their profits. If they don't want to do that, they can cut grass or work for somebody else. It's not rocket science. |

My answer to Brew's question was: "To be real fair, everyone should contribute something." That's it. Where's the assumption? Your answer to that was: (and here is where the distortion starts) "That's that old Fox mantra (show me where that is anything other than an opinion, an assumption). How much difference would it make in the grand scheme of things if all the poor people contributed a dollar to the national treasury. It's simply BS (your opinion and another assumption) and has nothing to do with fairness. You've been indoctrinated in every phase of Fox News obfuscation (your opinion, your assumption. That's where the distortion of my post to Brew started and it's the start of the "assumption/distortion process," "smoke." |

""To be real fair, everyone should contribute something." That implies that everyone, whether or not they can afford to pay, should pay anyway. I watch Fox, but, apparently, unlike you, I watch it with a degree of skepticism and come to the conclusion that they are providing a mantra for you and others who agree with you, which you accept unquestioningly and parrot at every opportunity. So, now you're going to change the subject and argue about assumptions? |

That's what I'm saying Neil, everyone (physically and mentally able) should contribute something to live in this great, free land. Something! |

That would make you happy if the poor just contributed a dollar to the cause? That's an insanely rigid view, imo. My bet would be that even if everybody, most people do, contributed, you would find something else to bitch about. |

You only assume what makes me happy. There isn't a physically, mentally healthy person in this nation who can't give something of themselves for the privilege of living in and benefiting from the liberties and benefits that many have died to keep. Something. Give something. It's only the ungrateful who would feel otherwise, and it appears that they are a growing population in this country. Edited by Banandangees, Feb 20 2012, 11:25 PM.

Since you claim there are such people in this country, who give nothing, even though they are able to, please cite an example of a real live, verifiable person, who fits that description. |
