So you think lower taxes on families who make less than $51,000 a year is trickle down propaganda? Care to elaborate?

You know, this makes you a bigot. I am not frothing at the mouth over the fact that you have a different opinion than me.

Go ahead, show me I am wrong. Show me that the majority of people who are poor got that way through no fault of their own. Why does being poor even have to be a bad thing? The person who chooses to only work part time is rewarded with extra free time! Free time is great, in fact time is our most precious resource.

Are you getting mad that I am ignoring your insults, supporting an opinion that differs from yours, and challenging your opinion by asking you questions?

The exact same thing that would happen if their competitor cut into their profit margin to undercut price without a tax cut. They would gain more sales, but be making fewer profits per unit. If that profits per unit ends up being negative, the cheaper company will go out of business. If the profits per unit are…

Wait, you think the fact that families under $51,000 net income paying less in taxes is an adverse effect? O_O

Insults aside.

They may not... what exactly is causing companies to not want to have profit margins? What about raising taxes on the wealthy give them an inherent sense that they should shoulder that burden without passing it off? Please give me this key nugget of information, and I will swing hard left.

I’m saying, I have no idea how to narrow the wage gap. I personally don’t want to be stuck on large scale programs paid for by myself through the products I purchase. I would much rather have increased purchasing power, so that more of my dollars go toward supporting actually productive industries rather than mass…

Because unless there is collusion or a monopoly (both something that capitalists hate). Jacking their prices up means that their profit margins go down as their competitors gain market share.

My more than bare minimum of research has brought me to the conclusion that companies are inherently greedy and will maintain current profit margins when at all possible. Getting them to pay higher taxes isn’t going to convince them to accept lower profit margins. Or will it? This is what I keep pushing you to prove.…

None of those points have any bearing. Let me break it down.

No really. I am curious. How do you ensure that increased taxes aren’t passed off onto consumers?

I’m all ears.

You don’t understand. You could tax the 1% at 99%. They would still stay the 1%. Their wealth wouldn’t suddenly just disappear.

That is a big point, one I hadn’t heard yet. Any link that they are cutting that?

You’ve never actually taken a math class have you? Hell even basic psychology would let you know that if you reward bad behavior you get more bad behavior.

Show me one country that has successfully given and continues to give free homes, health care, food etc.

Right, so because there will be a time delay while the market corrects itself. That golden time wherein companies make less money before everything balances out again... is totally worth the long term end cost of raising the cost of goods and services through increased taxation. Do you just refuse to look more than 1…
