  1. Just stop. I mean, I'm sure it was at least 50% of shoppers in the HEB paying with an EBT card and driving off in a Benz The fact is, since there were so many people committing fraud, and you didn't report it, you're complicit in that, right? The next fact is, I'm fairly certain no one's talking about taxing you more. The next fact is, if we're really talking about who to tax more, like the top half of the top quintile, I'm almost certain none of those people are here to defend themselves. Stop thinking you'll be there someday and that if you don't fight it now it'll be such a downer when you get there. You won't be there someday
  2. Yeah. I could do lots of things to get further ahead in life. None of them legal, though
  3. Right. The bottom two quintiles. You do realize that the top of the second quintile is 42k.
  4. Stop. Just fucking stop. If you were so fucking beaten by this, why didn't you contact the authorities? Just knock it off
  5. You do realize that most people withhold more than that, right?
  6. Bro. Drug dealing is a 24hr a day job. Being poor is a fucking beating. Having barely any medical care, can't afford any extras... I'm beginning to think motherfuckers on this board have lost all fucking touch with reality
  7. You've lost your motherfucking mind. You think it's easy to work and barely make enough to survive? C'mon, stop it. Really.
  8. Yeah, that's the best life
  9. The reason is because it's better to make 3mm and take home 2mm than it is to make 300k and take home 250k
  10. Tax isn't punishment. Stop acting like it is
  11. I would guess that it's quite disingenuous to think that at a certain rate, people are going to stop working. Most of the wealthy make quite a good bit of money from investments, though, and would just be paying capital gains on it... I don't know, but I'm willing to trade if any of you want. I'd be pretty happy keeping a few of the millions
  12. Most of "entitlement" spending (known as mandatory, btw) is social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Usually people like to throw around the word entitlements to make it seem like it's all "welfare Queens."
  13. I'm sure they're already back in North Korea dismantling their nuclear program now. I guess Trump forgot the "verify"part of that shit
  14. The funny part is that pretty soon, we'll all be back to zero.
  15. Yoooooge feat on crazy Sally
  16. He'srightyouknow.gif
  17. Here's a bit more... Documents filed in the case showed that in 1993 BCBSM implemented a scheme through which it would collect additional revenue by adding certain mark-ups to hospital claims paid by its self-insured customers. Most of the country’s largest employers self-insure, which means that they are on the hook for medical claims when employees and their dependents get sick or injured. Self-insured companies hire firms like BCBSM to do the paperwork. It is the employer’s money—not the insurance company’s—that is “at risk” in such arrangements. After suing and getting documentation from BCBSM, attorneys for Hi-Lex were able to show the court that BCBSM marked up hospital claims by as much as 22 percent. BCBSM didn’t disclose the markups, however. As part of the scheme, regardless of the amount BCBSM was required to pay a hospital for a given service, it reported a higher amount to Hi-Lex and pocketed the difference. https://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/05/11/17317/court-case-shows-how-health-insurers-rip-you-and-your-employer I can go deeper, show more, or you could do more research down the rabbit hole
  18. Here is an overview. It's more detailed than this when you dig into it https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2014/11/15/364064088/they-paid-how-much-how-negotiated-deals-hide-health-cares-cost
  19. Well, I did graduate business school, so...
  20. Good luck
  21. Well, if they've been in prison, they'll most likely be unemployable to a point
  22. Your model is the model that gets us to a nanny state. Don't you see?
  23. It's shameful for the fucking companies that externalize the cost of living to the government in the form of government assistance, rather than paying a living wage.
  24. Oh Lord. Here we fucking go. It's called "externalities" and it's another form of corporate welfare Just shut the fuck up
  25. If you fucking qualify for welfare, you fucking qualify for fucking welfare. I would guess (since I don't have the numbers) that the upper class avoids more in tax revenue than all other classes combined
