The Scourge of America with Integrity (On Topic Only Please)

Again, a reasonable person would hardly think a pool would constitute the absurd accumulation of wealth.

Really? I think it’s kind of absurd. It’s your right to have one but I still think it’s absurd.

Someone who has no running water might disagree.

 

[Integrity]

I wouldn't be paying income tax on my plan either.

So then you have nothing to worry, it wouldn’t effect you either way.

 

[Integrity]

subjective reasoning where absolutes are necessary

Make it absolute as you want.

 

[BrownFlush]

Make it absolute as you want.

A lot.

 

[Integrity]

What’s reasonable? you’re speaking in generalities. What you were asking would have to be absolutes. And I’m sorry you’ve been well off for so long you don’t realize that many people would absolutely say you are rich and absurdly so…at least to them.

Try apply the reasonable person standard to your own question.

When getting down to details yes.

IMO They would be wrong and unreasonable in their view of my wealth.

 

[Integrity]

A lot.

Go for it

 

[burrheadd]

So, if I go out and work hard all my like and I end up with sizable wealth you want to tax it all away? Where is the incentive for the next guy that comes along to work hard ?
Might as well be a degenerate and not pay any taxes

It may be absurd to you but it hardly is what a reasonable person would consider absurd wealth.

 

[Integrity]

@burrheadd, The idea is a progressive income similar to the one that existed in the US in 1960. I am not suggest any wealth that you have accumulatedh would be affected.

 

[BrownFlush]

A lot.

A lot.

I'm making fun of you.

 

[Integrity]

I'm making fun of you.

Ok. I don’t mind.

 

[Thebrownblob]

It may be absurd to you but it hardly is what a reasonable person would consider absurd wealth.

Again, who gets to decide what’s absurd? What if I’m in charge?

 

[BrownFlush]

Ok. I don’t mind.

If you did mind, I still would.

 

[Integrity]

Again, who gets to decide what’s absurd? What if I’m in charge?

In my fake plan, I guess I get to decide.

 

[Integrity]

If you did mind, I still would.

NP

So let me get this straight
We’re going to tax absurdly, rich people, (the definition of absurd is not defined)

These absurdly rich people will be taxed at 91%?

These absurdly rich people are going to be just fine giving away 91% of their earnings to people indefinitely?

The rest of the not absurdly, rich people and poor people are going to get that money and live happily ever after?

Go to very poor countries and ask them if they think you're wealthy. You don't seem to realize how materially blessed you are.

No you do not have it straight. At least as I see it.
