  1. how about raise it to 90% of anything over a couple of million (so still plenty for the children of the rich to get on with). stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  2. Not gonna happen... if they do get a facility even CLOSE to making a weapon.. it will vanish in a thermonuclear flash.. preemptively. lovely - another world war. what a brilliant strategy... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  3. iran will get nuclear weapons whether you like it or not. deal with it and stop whining... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  4. those nukes ended the 1973 war, and have prevented any nation from directly attacking since. What fucking idiot would one have to be to give that up? and what fucking idiot country wouldn't aim to get nukes then. they win wars. iran is not an idiot country. iran will get nuclear weapons (same as india, south africa, north korea, pakistan etc...) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  5. so the gates kids (as an example) are going to look after their parents in their declining health - i think not. and they've earnt all their millions you say. remember we're talking about the rich here - and more precisely the super rich. it's mainly those who aren't going to get much of an inheritance who look after their parents in their old age as their parents can't afford the cost of employing carers. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  6. for a country their size, it only takes about 2 nukes to end their existence in any meaningful way. they'd better opt for peace then... (perhaps give up their own nuclear weapons as a first step - nuclear weapons which could easily destroy iran) stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  7. like the average citizen who now has to pay for the banks bailout (and recession and quantitative easing)... I thought you finally admitted the bank bailout didn't cost anything. now you're making things up. did the great recession just pass you by? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  8. as they should. or are you saying that they only do it for the money? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  9. you forget that those who inherit the money haven't earned it
  10. farming stock eh.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8528827/Barack-Obamas-Irish-roots-traced-back-to-village.html stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  11. Your reply: So your answer to my question is to bring up a "decent estate tax" are you in fact agreeing that the "rich" already pay a fair amount of income tax? Or are you incapable of answering a simple question? i'm not too fussed about income tax. it needs to be increased but the super rich don't get much income - they get capital gains and plenty of inheritance and those offshore bank accounts all of which should be taxed more. do you think estate tax should be raised - or not? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  12. the heirs haven't earned that money - so it is welfare. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  15. you seem to equate all tax as theft (very anarchist) so going along with this - is it not better to steal of a dead person (they're not going to miss anything) than a live one? as for the heirs they haven't earned that money so why should they get welfare from beyond the grave - ghoulish... don't you prefer people to work and earn their money - i thought you did. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  16. the bankers have made a profession out of it - and when their victims can't pay rather than going bankrupt (as tens of thousands of the poor have had to) they get us to bail them out. i suppose that makes us 'stupid' too from a bankers viewpoint... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

  18. You're a joke Dream, and you're a comedian "And now, Netanyahu prefers confrontation. and he's got a big red button to push. he must feel very powerful... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  19. we're all part of the same society and it's pretty obvious that the rich have got the most benefit from our society... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  20. so the bankers prey on 'stupid' people - not a very clever business model you must admit (they still got their commissions though so they're alright)... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  21. you forget that those who inherit the money haven't earned it
  22. i think the rich should pay a decent estate tax - then they can earn as much as they want but they can't take it with them... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  23. i think you're one dot short of a row... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
  24. they have 40% of the wealth (and they get the most benefit from government) - so not progressive taxation... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
