If it's greedy for me to want to keep my money, isn't it greedier for Libs to want to take it?

Question

mixzo (1) it doesn't matter what they do with it, they appropriate it and do with it what they want to do with it (2) I spend and invest it thereby creating jobs, which is better than a program for people who don't have jobs because the money I'd have spent and invested got taken away (3) only about a quarter on the dollar in most government welfare programs actually goes to the welfare recipient, the rest goes to administration - i.e., hacks, i.e., yes they keep it for themselves.

coryagraph, they're appropriating the money - - - they're putting it to the use that they want, that's the same as keeping it.

1848 no, that's why tax revenue should go only to infrastructure, not redistribution. I'm sick of the "roads and bridges" argument, it's disingenuous - - - over 2/3 of the budget is pure and unadulterated boondoggle.

Answer 1

exactly

Answer 2

The money you earned either through your efforts or by risking your money, is yours and you should not feel greedy in wanting to keep it.

What the socialists want to do is steal your money and everyone elses, they want to control your lives completely because they believe they are more intelligent than you.

And should you continue to call them liberals you are doing a disservice to a lot of good Americans and Patriots, the people who would steal your money are Socialists and that is the term you should use when you speak of them.

Answer 3

What's greedy is expecting those living and working below the poverty line to pay for the infrastructure that allowed you to acquire your money.

What's greedy is expecting those living and working below the poverty line to pay for all the perks (ie Death by Chocolate deserts and etc) that the government employees who say the wealthy should pay less taxes.

What's greedy is expecting those living and working below the poverty line to pay and have less and 20% of America's wealth to pay for Air Craft Carriers, bombers and troops while those possessing 80% don't have to struggle just to keep a roof over their heads or food on the table

Answer 4

It's indoctrination that teaches them that. Indoctrination towards socialism and more government control They're being brainwashed into believing that anyone who makes money is evil (unless it's liberal). They're also being taught to call people selfish as well as many other names if you prefer to keep the money you make and not make it available for 'the public good'.

They are the ones to watch out for. There is a movement under way to take away our freedom and our right to move up in the world. :)

Answer 5

No, it's not greedy for you to want to keep your money.

The Libs want it to set up their own self-serving ideals and build larger and yet larger government making themselves look good and make the rest of us pay for it by increasing taxes.

Yikes!
