Yes, the IRS is a partisan payback tool of the left exclusively, as Lois

Wrong.

A steak is $15.00 at the grocery store. It's "fair" if a poor person
buys it or a rich person buys it. It costs either one of them $15

That's fair

You are forgetting that they had loop holes out the wazoo.
They did not pay that much actual taxes. When the loop
holes were plugged and the taxes lowered, they were
actually paying more taxes than under the 90+% rate.
So yes, of course, they moved.

There is greed more insatiable in this world than
government greed.

Envy is not the answer to our problems.

Nope. The lower the taxes, the less they gained from "loopholes" and the
more money they had to move operations to other countries.

Silly you. They move to other countries when the cost
exceeds what they can absorb. They would not leave
if they made more money.

You know president Trump did remark on this at the time.
Give me back the 90% tax and the loop holes.

The only way it's "fair" is if you compare the accessibility and
prices of fast food burgers, such as McD's McDouble, it provides a way
to get beef but you sacrifice choice and quality.

The poor person will avoid the $15 steak. Why is the poor person poor?

One reason is socialism for the rich, hard capitalism for the poor.
Another reason is diverting money that should go to the workers to
CEO compensation packages... so the CEO can buy $15 steaks without a
worry.

The poor person pays for the steak with their taxpayer funded WIC EBT card.

So Joe Taxpayer pays for his own food and that of the Democrat voters.

Taxpayers have a long list of government dependents but can't claim any
of them on their taxes.

A rich person buys Wagyu beef for $800/pound, a poor person buys hamburger
at $3/pound - a poor person doesn't eat steak.

Where are you buying Wagyu for $800 a pound, you stupid fucktard?

I can buy 16 oz. wagyu ribeyes all day long for $85.

Then don't tax them at all.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic
beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and
other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two
highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the
USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.

Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores.
To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the
12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the
Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black™ and SRF Gold™
both score above USDA Prime.

SRF Black™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling
than USDA Prime graded beef.

SRF Gold™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of
marbling we offer.

Klaus has a point, but it isn't the one that you're thinking of.

The reason is that Klaus's analogy relies on an underlying assumption in
his steak analogy, namely that a government service has an equal benefit
to a poor person and a rich person. For example, a public road: the
poor person may not have a car with which to use that service benefit,
whereas the rich person not only uses the roads, but his customers do
too. As such, the rich person benefits _more_ from that service.
