U.S. Presidential Megathread

Okay, they do deserve their money. Stop acting like they didn't do anything.
They worked their way up and became successful, and it's not up to the government to take that away from them.

You're sort of acting like the middle class don't deserve their money, though. :v

[devildogelite]

LOL

They would build their factories in the U.S. if they had none of that intrusive government nonsense forcing them to pay barely liveable wages and pay for all those safety measures to protect employees.



People who are rich don't benefit from any of the services that the government provide, such as police and roads and what not. Oh wait they totally do.

Why is it that people who are middle class or below always want to protect those who are rich.

[Alteration]

Let me get this straight:
If I put my nose to the grindstone, work day and sometimes night all week, manage my money and work up, hire people, expand more, keep working, expand even more and become a big business high-class citizen through a lifetime of hard work and dedication I don't deserve the fruits of my labor?

You're sort of acting like the middle class don't deserve their money, though. :v

They do. Anybody who has worked to get their money deserves it. This applies to all human beings, regardless of class.

I think many of you have a severe misunderstanding of what a society is.

The only president to serve more than 2 terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to 4 terms before the 22nd amendment was passedratified.

Correction.

So you believe people shouldn't get money that is really theirs?

We should take it, they don't need it! It's not like they earned it or anything, and it's absurd to suggest rich people will ever run out of money to waterfall to the government! If they own corporations that will employ people, they really don't need that money... We should just hand feed money to the poor so they don't have to get jobs and more companies go out of business! It's all so clear to me!

Great idea! Now, let's work raising government regulation.

[Kimon]

Great idea! Now, let's work raising government regulation.

Alright, the U.S.A will be divided into 5 factions and nobody can own more than $100,000 without giving the government money. We will all wear matching suits every day and anybody caught not wearing one will be apprehended on sight.

Alright I got a little carried away but yeah my earlier point still stands.

"These people?"

[Kalphiter]

"These people?"

I think you have some inherent fear that by sensible tax policies the government will become socialistic.
