You would dismiss them all with lies and deflecting as you did here.

When regular ppl mess up or get caught in someone else's screwup they get sick die get homeless go to jail go bankrupt.

When corporations screw up and hurt ppl they get bailed out at worst. And always are allowed to continue profiting without paying back the ppl they hurt or contributing to the society whose resources they use.

How are the gulf fisherman doing since deep water horizon?

Please back up every assertion (bold) you made...

You won't, you have not rebutted anything I posted. You just assert things, and ignore economics. I've explained what you were missing, and you just repeated the bitching about billionaires, exactly like I said you all would. How am I lying when you do exactly what I state you would do?

YouTube redistributes 68% of it's ad revenue....twitch redistributes 50-70% of it's sub dollars. One is owned by Google, the other Amazon. Twitch has over 1.5 million broadcasters. Around 160,000 YouTube channels have over than 100,000 subscribers, and over 31M YouTube channels.



Those two eco systems would harmed by taxes. YouTube is not stealing. neither is Twitch. Steam, and their indie cultivator model would be harmed as well. If you are honest, find out how much of Wal-Mart's revenue goes to labor, cost of goods (which impacts how much the Chinese make on their labor, as well), and how much goes to profit (3-4% of revenues is what WalMart profits). Amazon's 3rd parties, and ebay is another ecosystem which would be harmed....

The word "lie" has meaning. You don't just get to use it like a "nyahnyah I can't hear you lalalalala" shield against confronting your misguided thoughts.

Do you think the hundreds of employees of that chemical company in Texas should find themselves unemployed now because their company had an accident? Like, what do you honestly think should happen? The insurance company already made the local citizens whole, so what else do you want to see done? If you prevent any forms of commerce that might adversely affect someone at some point in the future in any way, what are you going to have left? Most importantly, how are you going to power and pay for your socialist utopia?

Deepwater Horizon was a terrible disaster. Hopefully it sits at the top of the "worst environmental ****up ever" list for a very long time. The company has paid out tens of billions of dollars as a result, but it's also not as if that accident has rendered the Gulf of Mexico uninhabitable. It's been 10 years, and in another 10 you'll probably barely tell it ever happened.

You act like BP just put their hands in their pockets and walked away whistling innocently, hoping nobody would notice. Maybe threw a few brown people into the slurry just for good measure. No, they treated it with the urgency it deserved, and it did enormous damage to the company. Again, what else do you think should happen? Take their 100,000 employees and turn them upside down to empty their pockets and throw them into the gulag?

How is this thread possibly conceived of as improved post-exile of all the quality postsrs? Such garbage, lol

We get it dude. You have a galaxy s8 active and you aren't happy here.

The US government redistributes over 100% of its revenue and would be harmed by not taxing

*tapping the side of the head*

Makes you think

Sure you Bernie bros want to tax more to make sure that no one has to ration their insulin and get healthcare but bro have you thought that there would be fewer no scope 360 videos if you did that? No you did, didcha brah?

I look forward to your next post sometime in the near to distant future letting us know how bad the forum is. Until then:

And yet:

The Walton family fortune breaks down as follows:

Jim Walton Increase$. 53.4 billion[10]
Alice Walton Increase$. 53.1 billion[11]
S. Rob Walton Increase$. 53 billion[12]
Lukas Walton Increase$. 18.5 billion[13]
Christy Walton Increase. $8.8 billion[14]
Ann Walton Kroenke Increase $7.7 billion[15]
Nancy Walton Laurie Increase. $6.9 billion

Got a laugh at white knighting Google, who employs a legion of tax attorneys to do the double Irish Dutch, Rusty Trombone or whatever tax avoidence schemes. It'd be good enough just to make Google pay a somewhat equitable amount of taxes

goodpoints, proly your best post of 2019 since it was fair and actually looked it at from both angles.



i want to talk more about the bank bailout but its not relative to the rest of the discussion. I do wantto bring up some more points but other discussion has arisen since our posts

I don't think think the average "Bernie Bro" is a socialist. Conflating the two is pretty sloppy.

bernie bro is progresive left, lets ust say prog left.

I like ho my post from last page really sparkd this discussion. ALL OF LAST YEAR we havent had 2 pages of more right leaning ideas or standpoints than we do now. I pat myself on the back on that one.


I think capitalism has flaws and its BS what some of these companies do and how they treat certain angles. but when I hear progresive left talk about economy andbusines, I just feel they are micro stakes players and dont get the "whole" picture at times.


like they are 1400 chess elo players when it comes to economy when a lot of others are around 1900 etc, thats what im trying to say. even wrt other things you could say prog left are 1900+elo etc.

ya I agree that shouldnt happen, but we need to still find a middle ground. I dont believe the "if you treat them poorly nd tax them harshly theyll just move their fortunes and investments/mopneys overseas" theres is truth and falsehoods to that

and how are you, Victim and the rest of your gaggle different...

The middle ground is the US harmonizing more with the EU, cracking down on tax havens and shifting more towards an world wide apportionment system.

I disagree that THATS the midle ground. thats seems like an entire diff option

Way to focus on one aspect and ignores the jobs YouTube content creators create, small business who can afford global advertisement via Google search, ebay folks who can operate a small business with less overhead, same with Amazon 3rd parties, along with Amazon Twitch streamers (almost all of which creates jobs and who will see less revenue). But, yeah, it's better to take money out their hands (of which all creates new sources of revenue for the government, as well), and put it in the hands of people who mostly consume. The government can't create new jobs (jobs in industries that have not been created yet, and what keeps propelling American prosperity) like the private sector can, no economist will agree with you.

I want someone to tell me how much we owe Sudan, since Google has stolen money from people. They are a global product, same thing with Windows, and they earn money from almost all people. I want to know, how do you all ignore the wealth that was stolen from other people outside the country? Do we redistributes that wealth to all the countries? (or are all of you selfish, and only Americans gets the benefit of redistribution?) Better yet, how much do we owe the laborers of China? Chances are, we'd have to all take a hair cut to make every whole that was "stolen" from. Freaking nonsense.

That's paper wealth, and it's ridiculous to whine about the top end of spectrum of winners, when their are thousands (if not millions) of people who benefit from Wal-Mart, from customers, to people in China, to retailers who feed off the traffic at wal-mart.


And the kicker, government entitlement end up at Wal-Mart as well...

There is 13 billion, you go grab that, that Wal-Mart wont get. LOL.

You keep using this word, "redistribute", I do not think it means what you think it means.

it means take money from the paycheck earners and give it to corporations.

I am sure itshot and inso will be here to say how great this is.

Can you specify what size is needed to make corporations evil. Most corporations are relatively small businesses, many with one person. Are they evil as well? Just curious to help give some context to these nasty corporations. Perhaps this video will help.



All the best.

I know you are smart enough to know that I am not criticizing them due to size. Or even criticizing corporations at all. They are incentivized to act evil.

But as your signature indicates, you don't act in good faith so there's not much reason to interact.

I suspect you do not want to interact is because you do not have a particularly good reply. You keep mentioning "corporations" but as I said - they come in all shapes and sizes, so why not be more specific with your terms (that can have a multitude of meanings) when posting whatever your manifesto is in the moment.


Seriously, what are all these evil corporations? Is the accounting firm with 5 employees that is incorporated part of this conspiracy? What are the guidelines. Read your quotes about corporations, then watch the South Park video, and well, not sure how to put it - at least the characters in that video are less uptight about it...


All the best.

Ok how about he says Fortune 500 etc, stop acting intentionally dense
