@jeffowski these days they don't sell you one, you have to subscribe to one, and they will employ goons to break your leg repeatedly as you you heal, and those goons go around shouting from the rooftops how great lives they are living.

@jeffowski and capitalism is when everyone believes them (liberals)

@jeffowski Statistically, billionaires are the outlier. The metrics that matter are the average take home pay, the top 10% take home pay and the bottom 10% take home pay. If I were in charge of the tax code, I could get it down to a single page using a combination of a flat 17.5% income tax, a flat 20% corporate tax, a flat 17.5% tariff tax, a flat 20% fiscal quarter short term capital gains tax, a flat sales tax of 1% for needs and 2% for wants and a 2% high frequency trading tax. There is no way to use creative accounting to cheat your way out of these taxes because I would tax the movement of money at the source, so you wouldn't need to file a tax return either because your employer, bank, investment accounts and stockbrokers collect it and than simply notify you. To help the poor, the first 5,555.55 from each source of personal, corporate or capital gains would be tax free, which if you earn millions of dollars a year is negligible, but for the working poor and small businesses would be a lifeline that gives them an advantage.

@jeffowski Time to repay their 'kindness'
