“Good people of the jury, my client is guilty of nothing more than merely forgetting to append ‘in Minecraft,’ to his statement.”
Wait, wait, wait.
You’re telling me there are other countries?
"This is the gambeson my grandmother quilted for me; it’s very cozy.’
He’s bonafide!
Exactly.
Everyone knows you drink it.
Tacitus refers to Christians, which doesn’t necessarily mean that Jesus existed if he was an amalgamation of various apocalyptic prophets; there were many mystery cults at the time who had a legendary founder.
I think the chances are pretty good that he did exist, but it’s not a foregone conclusion.
Dunno if I’d call the guy who says he’s a literal god the most humble dude in history.
Of course it’s questionable if he did indeed make that claim (if he even really existed), but the Pope certainly believes that he did.
Why do you keep avoiding the topic?
The irony burns
Would it change your mind?
If not, it’s irrelevant. So why are you so hung up on that?
You’re playing games because you don’t want to discuss the actual issue.
Fair enough, I understand you’ll lose the debate.
If I did would it change your mind?
If not, why should I bother? This isn’t germaine, it’s a distraction because you don’t want to argue the actual point.
Funny how you’re always the only one who has trouble understanding me.
I’m done pretending you’re a serious person arguing seriously.
Anyone can say “nuh-uh.”
I also never said wealth was taxed. I said his income should be taxed (in response to your question).
You’re misrepresenting my argument at every step like you always do. Your sealion question at the end is irrelevant; you have no idea how much I earn, and I’m not here to impress Internet strangers like you seem to be. Bet you’re real close to that billion though if you keep grinding!
Bet it burns you up that you can’t ban me from here.
I will make it simple for you.
Elon typically earns 1 dollar per year.
How much should he pay in taxes on that 1 dollar?
And I’ll add back in the context that you’re desperate to jettison.
Let’s look at a situation that resembles the real world:
Elon Musk earns about $1.5 billion dollars/year with an estimated net worth of about $150 billion.
The median American income is about $70k/year with an estimated net worth of $193k
Musk should be taxed at 90% like we did for top earners during the biggest economic expansion in our nation’s history.
Your point is invalid. High-income earners already pay more in taxes, not only as a percentage but also as a total of their income.
And that wasn’t my point; you’re trying to change the argument because you know you’re wrong.
You don’t see the irony in wanting others to pay more but not wanting to pay more yourself.
I would love for you to point out where I said I wouldn’t be willing to pay more in taxes. This accusation is a confession, it seems.
If you actually read what I wrote you’d understand my point.
Nothing you said to me is a response to my post.
Try again.
Your peacocking value judgement is adorable, but irrelevant.
Wait, I thought you never said that?
That paper ignores people’s capacity to pay.
Even the Bible recognizes that a poor widow’s mite is a bigger ask than a wealthy person’s contribution of a larger portion of their income. That was written two thousand years ago, but somehow conservatives still haven’t come to the same obvious conclusion.
Our society is specifically set up to funnel money to oligarchs, and then they cry about having to contribute to that system? Boo fucking hoo.
You say that all the time.
Nice lie.
What I have said is the tax system should be fair.
By reducing the amount that the people who benefit most (by orders of magnitude) from our society pay into it. Yeah. That sure sounds fair to me.
What an intelligent and viable solution!
Oh look, the taxes are theft guy (who will vote for Trump) is here to say how little someone else knows about economics.
I’m sure all that wealth will start to trickle down any minute now though.
I hope the Haitian people can make some peace. There’s not many on Earth who were dealt as bad a hand as them.
I’ve been told there are mods for everything.
