Ted68, my error. Apologies. Wasn't meant for you. We are on the same page it seems.

Why penalyze people who work hard, save and invest their capital wisely? Makes no sense and can reduce or take away incentive.

This is not derogatory to you, but you reminded me of the story of two Communists having a conversation. The first Communist asked his comrade, " if you had two cars would you give me one ? " The second Communist replied, " of course I would. You are a brother Communist. " The first Communist then asked, " Comrade if you had two houses would you give one to me. " The second Communist answered, " sure, if I had two houses I would give one of them to you. " Finally the first man asked, " Comrade if you had two chickens would you give me one " " No I would not " answered his friend. " Why wouldn't give give me a chicken if you had two ?" The second Comrade answered, " Because I have two chickens. "

Ok. I don't care whether you're right or left. That was a good one, witless. 😂

How does a rich person "have no income"? Explain that. Either they have an inheritance, or a trust fund, or capital gains - or something!

Biden is no idiot, unless you think that 62% of Americans are. That certainly even includes some Republicans:

"Perhaps the million who agree are also idiots." Uh-huh. Most of us except for you, tucker. (But you, obviously, know more than the rest of us.)

"Make the taxes too high and they will relocate to another country."

Really? Which one, pray tell?

France: top rate 45%
Spain: 47%
Germany: 45%
Netherlands: 49% (one of the richest per-capita country in the world)
Belgium: 50%
Sweden: 52.9%
Ireland: 40%
Israel: 50%
Austria: 55%
Japan: 55.9%

I could go on, there's a long list of countries that pay much more than we do here - but what's the point? You wouldn't change your mind no matter what empirical data I throw out there, and we both know it.

Fact is, in the 1950's the top 1% in America paid about 43%. And they did just fine.

"The Democrats are never satisfied with the amount of taxes collected because they want to spend more and more on worthless programs that are outside the purview of their responsibility."

Oh really? I guess things like Social Security and Medicare are "worthless programs" out of "purview of their responsibility"? Surely you jest. Or maybe not. Maybe you are exactly the kind of person who not only believes in minority rule, and that everyone else is an "idiot", but also has been utterly convinced that "trickle down" actually works?

One non sequitur after another. Get real Mr. Dumass. A lot of idiotic assumptions on your part that don't dignify a response. I love it when you trolls are willing to expose your ignorance for the whole world to see.

I could easily explain how what you consider a rich person could have no income.
Bill Gates has done it.

A "rich" person can own land, property, that provides zero income, but is worth millions.
Buy a huge plot of land, pay the county taxes on it, and let it sit.
It's worth millions for grazing, developing, or recreational activities that could be made.
Live simply from saved money, and sit on your millions. You're a "rich" person with no income.
Cool your jets, and think outside the rhetoric you are being spoon fed.

Thank you.

👍 That said... The Christian thing to do would be to ask him in for a meal and teach him how to grow his own food.
Problem is, too many people in cities can't do that. 🥺

The Christian thing to do would be to feed him AND tell him about what he REALLY needs... a savior whose name is Jesus Christ.

Food is temporal... Jesus is FOREVER!
