"You have big man syndrome... We are talking Mom &
Post# of 65629
It's clear who has the little dog syndrome. inhabe no need for such silliness. I'm justified by the facts I've presented. You, on the other hand, haven't provided any evidence for your argument because there is none to support your vivid imagination. As I've provided evidence for, the "real money" in America is created by publicly traded companies, not mom & pop shops. That was a much different case prior to the industrial revelation. It's no longer that way anymore.
"Hope you figure out how to bring jobs back...it isn't all about the bottom-line...well unless you in the top 1-10%..."
I've never been out of work for any great length of time. That has more to do with my ability to sell myself than anything. It's an issue I'm frankly not concerned with.
"Yah... yah...I know I pay lots of Taxes, heard it before...Well, I believe FDR's top rate was like 73%"
Top statutory rate at one time was 92%. Nobody paid it though just like nobody paid a 73% statutory rate when FDR was President.
The top 1% has a combined wealth of barely over $1 Trillion. If you took all their money away from them, left them broke, and attempted to pay a social benefit for one year, you'd be hard pressed to do so and it would leave you without options for the following year. The top 1% isn't the issue. It's the lazy bottom percent that doesn't pull their own weight, instead choosing to spend their days complaining about the top 1%. That sir, is the definition of true greed.
In the ancient world, the bible defined greed with a simple passage: "thou shall not covet." That means that you should not wish to have when you have not. Logically, who do you think it is that wishes to have what they have not, and so much so that they're willing to complain about it day in and day out? If you can answer that question sincerely, you're getting somewhere in your wisdom.
