  1. taxing their wealth stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  2. we just need to tax the rich more - that's who has the money (or hadn't you noticed) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  3. it's very simple - the value of labour has to be increased (so ordinary citizens can live without getting into debt) and the value of capital has to be reduced. the balance between the two has been getting steadily more and more out of kilter since world war 2. it can be either done nicely with the rich agreeing to pay more or we all go to war (which will increase the value of labour but not in a nice way)... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  4. yep - and a larger increase in tax than the bloomberg article suggests. i see no reason why a decent estate tax shouldn't affect easily 10% of the population. then the tax havens have to be closed down and that money brought back into the economy. remember everything the rich contribute means less burden on the middle class... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  5. that's 34 billion more than you've suggested so far... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  7. well, if we start with a large tax increase on the rich (them having the money and all) we're a good way down the road to balancing the budget... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  8. so the rich do have the money stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. meanwhile the rich get richer and the middle class get poorer. of course the rich won't like being taxed properly - they'll kick up a stink as per usual. on the other hand it's got to be done so let's get on with it... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  10. so you tax wealth (hey, how about an inheritance tax) - problem solved. this lot have the money they just don't want to use it for the benefit of all... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  11. except if we tax them properly - rather than squeezing the life out of the middle class... (the rich are only a minority after all) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  12. In which case I suppose we could send in our vast, bigger- (or at least more expensive) than-the-rest-of-the-world-put-together military to just TAKE what God obviously meant for us to have. And being at war with the entire world would certainly guarantee full employment, at least until we run out of cannon fodder. How's that for a neoconservative stimulus plan? Don better a good war (still profit to be made after all) than the rich give up some of their wealth... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  14. enough what? are you sure you've called this right? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  15. no, my plan is to tax (increase the household income) the rich (who are the richest they have ever been in the entire history of human civilisation). your plan seems to be to sing lalalalala at the problem... Assuming you went to school, did they teach Arithmetic there? If so, did you pass? you don't agree that taxing the rich will increase government income (and thus reduce the deficit)? Actually, given the Law of Unintended Consequences, no. another one who believes the world is flat... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  16. the even more important question is can we avoid a rerun of the thirties and another world war... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  17. no, my plan is to tax (increase the household income) the rich (who are the richest they have ever been in the entire history of human civilisation). your plan seems to be to sing lalalalala at the problem... Assuming you went to school, did they teach Arithmetic there? If so, did you pass? you don't agree that taxing the rich will increase government income (and thus reduce the deficit)? No I don't, presumably you think the earth is flat as well... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  20. you're advising me to go into debt? (i'd be more impressed with you if you could start a business without a great dollop of credit and then whine about the rich paying their fair share of the deficit) Those who can do. been doing it for a while now... I doubt it based on the naivety you exhibit here. Maybe an independent contractor but certainly not someone who runs a real corporation and understands finance, payrolls, risk management, marketing, advertising, company branding etc. Nor someone who has to deal with employees (like you) vendors etc. and make difficult decisions on a daily basis. Have you ever had to borrow to make payroll due to short term cash flow issues? Go back and play with your mates at Alternet and Democratic Underground. They surely appreciate you and your convoluted perspectives. someone important like you must have lots of votes (now we've established that you are not - nor ever will be one of the top % of income earners perhaps you'll let us know why you're happy to act as their mouthpiece - you're not another of those rabid rightwingers are you) As I've said, you need to get back into your comfort zone over there at Alternet. You haven't got a clue about what you are talking about. I'm sure you're a real firecracker on Alternet looks like i'm here popping the bubbles of loopy rightwingers - all good fun

  24. this would be the bankers again... (and the rich who feel they are entitled not to help cut the deficit) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  25. a huge f**king deficit - duh... (and the rich get richer) What a whiner. that would be the rich then whining about paying some tax to help bring down the deficit (whining and whining about a bit of tax - and then employing professional whiners to do the whining for them) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
