Sounds about like the mentality of liberals. Much the same as a spoiled

Then maybe you should get a different job?

However if your capabilities are such that you can't.. who's fault is that?

Or.. you could go into business for yourself and become the boss.. Oh, but
then you wouldn't even be able to afford the bread.

Well in Rudy's case neither of those are an option.... working under the
boss's desk is about all he can do.

Yea, right just as income tax was only going to be paid by the rich and well
off.....

Amazing how taxes for this product, or that group, or for this cause..
rapidly expands to all produce, all people and for all causes.

1) They shouldn't even be here to get it
2) The only assistance they should be getting is an immediate deportation.

Elon Musk: Net Worth Around $200 Billion. ...
Jeff Bezos: Net Worth Around $195 Billion. ...
Mark Zuckerberg: Net Worth Around $180 Billion. ...
Larry Ellison: Net Worth Around $140 Billion. ...
Warren Buffet: Net Worth Around $133 Billion...
Bill Gates: Net Worth Around $130 Billion. ...

divided among 330 Million people = about $3,000 per person.

So show us the 165 Million people that have less than $3,000 in total
wealth.

Hell, their annual income is higher than that.

Meanwhile I would note their combined wealth wouldn't even balance the
budget for a single year.

Baxter allows his mouth to write checks his brain can't cash.. and then
wonders why he is considered to be an ignorant fool.

So Baxter once the government has pissed away that wealth in a single year..
who do we tax/blame next?

How about the people who tax us into poverty and still find still that isn't
enough to cover what they want to spend it on?

I would note that once upon a time, Income tax was only going to tax the
rich and well off. Now virtually everyone pays income tax.

Amazing how taxes for the rich.. end up being paid by everyone over time.

Well, it's not even true.. they couldn't even cover last years deficit much
less this year's so once we have stripped them of their wealth and
politicians have pissed it away.. who do we blame/tax next?

I'm sure he doesn't think so, but in time it will be applied to all. The
first step is getting their nose in the tent then next they lower the
cutoff... after all what about all those millionaires that don't pay their
fair share... then they lower it again.. after all the rich need to pay
their fair share as well.. then we well off.. then the management..
eventually EVERYONE is paying it..

Just like Income Tax.

The headers are quite clear that you said it, and then said it again..

Gee an organization looking for inequality and that's suppose to be
neutral..

But let's look at the facts.

Elon Musk: Net Worth Around $200 Billion. ...
Jeff Bezos: Net Worth Around $195 Billion. ...
Mark Zuckerberg: Net Worth Around $180 Billion. ...
Larry Ellison: Net Worth Around $140 Billion. ...
Warren Buffet: Net Worth Around $133 Billion...
Bill Gates: Net Worth Around $130 Billion. ...

divided among 330 Million people = about $3,000 per person.

So show us the 165 Million people that have less than $3,000 in total
wealth.

Point Set Match..

Rudy, might help if you did some basic fact checking rather than just
swallowing everything as usual.

Well, he doesn't really have much choice? I mean he can't exactly argue the
facts, even if we assume he knew them..
