Interesting.

But all this about the CEO's and confiscatory taxation is all talk.

It's real estate that will be confiscated first. And then distributed based on needs.

I know you got owned by Nilet and have been on the rag ever since. Now you redirect your anger towards me to ease the pain.

But you'll go away.

How did I get "owned" by Nilet? Do you even pay attention? Have you read the posts? Do you not see how that asshole is logically bereft? Of course you don't. You seem to think he's some sort of muscle man when nothing could be further from the truth. You just love to make your ASSumptions, even though random guessing would have a higher accuracy rate.

I respond to you every time you make your spurious and uninformed claim of redistribution.

My vision is a lot more realistic than tax redistribution.

Have a Happy Easter.

No, it isn't. It is entirely unrealistic. It is a vision of a man whose mind was ruined by a diet of talk radio demagoguery.

It's ironic you should mention that, because a rancher in Nevada, with the help of "libertarian" supporters, just about did that TO the government.

Don't forget he is a deadbeat rancher, who owes the American people about a million dollars in rents for grazinfg land.

Hey, but it's the big bad government, who took a bunch of his taxes anyway, so he doesn't have to pay it!

What I don't get is that the jackass could write off those rents from his taxes if he had actually paid them. Imagine how much less in taxes he'd have to pay then......

Well that was a bit of a damp squib.

I read the title "confiscatory taxation" and got warmed up for a long rant about left-wing nutters trying to prevent people from earning a living (a decidedly rare opportunity on a forum that leans as far to the right as OTChat) but then I read the article and it only called for a confiscatory tax on inheritances (that nobody's entitled to anyway) and a high marginal tax rate for very high incomes like we hand in the 1950s.

And the right wants to bring us back fully into the 1950's ... except that. :-\

Talk radio, AMerican format is intelligent talk. Prager. Hewitt. Medved. Even Limbaugh. They have not influenced my way of thinking.

But my attitude about confiscatory taxation is in line with a sizable percentage of this country. Especially as it pertains to real estate. Why have an elderly white couple in a $600,000 2 BR in Middle Village while a family of 5 Latinos live in a roach-infested 1 BR on top of a take out joint on Jamaica Avenue and give all their money to family back home and a Pentecostal storefront church down the block.

Confiscatory real estate taxation will be easiest to implement.

Thanks for attacking.
