Woah, woah, woah mommy, I have been exposed :’( - time now to pretend I don't know what's happening and accuse the other of projection. Whatever negat...

No, it's just cause you're really not providing a reason why this is so. It may be so - I'm not saying that it definitely isn't, I haven't studied the...

Why? If the area under their value-quantity graph is much bigger, then of course they should get way way way richer.
November 18, 2017 at 23:22
I don't see how these facts illustrate that it's not fair that the owners of the Hinduja group have 16.2 billion while paramedics earn 37K. You haven'...
November 18, 2017 at 23:21
So this is not a mathematical and scientific question that must be decided by actually looking at what the facts happen to be, it's something you deci...
November 18, 2017 at 22:13
It's not necessary if people on both sides realise it's futile and stupid. No, you are obsessed that only sexism directed against women is a genuine p...
November 18, 2017 at 22:10
Although having said that, there's usually very little to discuss with such people because they're not open to reconsidering their opinions, since the...
November 18, 2017 at 19:57
It is absolutely hilarious how society swings from one extreme to another, yes. I often find myself battling on the one hand with the real sexists amo...
November 18, 2017 at 19:40
Funnily enough in the Eastern European countries, there is actually a problem with sexism (very frequently women are treated solely as sexual objects)...

I got it, thanks! Interesting, I never knew the industrial revolution happened without limited liability. But I can tell you that without limited liab...

For some reason, when I think of Hanover, I think of Sean Hannity >:O
November 18, 2017 at 12:06
Yeah, here all taxes added up to 30-40% too on gross income for employees, and the employer is also responsible for deducting that. But that's very hi...
November 18, 2017 at 12:05
I agree with you on this. Well, it makes sense for a corporation to have limited liability. I mean if I start a business, and something goes wrong and...
November 18, 2017 at 11:17
No, I can't respond in that manner if you arrive at a basic truth that is unfair. What is unfairness? Unfairness is not giving to each what they deser...
November 18, 2017 at 10:17
Statistics don't work like this in this case. Events - such as business success - are not random. Statistics must be considered differently with regar...
November 18, 2017 at 10:02
That's nonsense. It's not a gamble since the result depends on you and your skills to quite a large extent. I advocate that you educate yourself befor...
November 17, 2017 at 22:16
Why a sales tax? What's the rationale? I think VAT should be eliminated honestly - you don't have it in the US do you? A tax on sales or revenue doesn...
November 17, 2017 at 22:12
I would agree with all those suggestions I think.
November 17, 2017 at 20:56
No, because it leads to inflation and the devaluation of money. The poorest will be most affected anyway. I actually think the government ought to eng...
November 17, 2017 at 19:10
Inflation, but it's a terrible idea. Can you imagine the huge inflation that we would incur if the government had the Central Bank print all the money...
November 17, 2017 at 19:04
That is ABSOLUTELY insane. 40% tax on sales, meaning on revenue?! The government doesn't even need that much money, not to mention that such a tax wou...
November 17, 2017 at 18:58
>:O Right, okay, now I see what you mean. Yes, that is a problem. What do you think can be done to motivate these people to invest that money in the e...
November 17, 2017 at 18:47
No, but I actually don't understand any possible reason for it :s . So far you have told me that it's unfair because: So it's unfair because it's unfa...
November 17, 2017 at 18:42
Very nice words Tiff (Y) :D You are in many regards the glue of the community here for a lot of people I think. That's good!
November 17, 2017 at 14:56
Yes, well, organized crime needs to be ummm organized ;)
November 17, 2017 at 14:54
So you're not able to provide a reason for why it is unfair? You're not able to put your finger on the harm that someone else having more than you doe...
November 17, 2017 at 13:33
No, I don't have anywhere near the same degree of economic liberalism with regards to financial speculation nor multinational corporations.
November 17, 2017 at 12:37
I have a Chinese one that I'm sure you'd like, but I'm not going to tell you which one it is >:) ( you're already manipulative enough even without wat...
November 17, 2017 at 10:58
>:O yeah, when you're shown to be wrong, you ask for silence, of course :D
November 17, 2017 at 10:47
Of course, so what? Are you denying that men are more likely to be physically violent than women for example?
November 17, 2017 at 10:46
No, I never said that. Not all are, but some most definitely are, and that much should be as undeniable as saying that some men are physically violent...
November 17, 2017 at 10:44
Sappy, have you forgotten our economic talk brah?
November 17, 2017 at 10:42
>:O >:O >:O LOOOOOOL - this is hilarious. Manipulation at its best :D
November 17, 2017 at 10:40
I agree, but again, notice how this refers mostly to non-Western societies. The PMC article focusing on Canada & US is interesting, BUT we must note t...

I agree with Wayfarer, you were certainly marked fairly, your essay has quite a few shortcomings.
November 17, 2017 at 09:50
Why is it unfair? Why is it an imbalance? Would it also be an imbalance if I work more than you? If I produce more than you? If I do something more va...
November 16, 2017 at 22:09

November 16, 2017 at 21:50

Listening to 50 Cent? >:O
November 16, 2017 at 21:37
Why is it a problem? If I have, say, x1000 what you have, how does that negatively impact you? What impacts you is how much you have, not how much oth...
November 16, 2017 at 21:29
Yes, I obviously would agree. That only works in silly games like Monopoly, in real life, unless the people in question are sociopathic or psychopathi...
November 16, 2017 at 21:09
From my experience, most people have striven to do well for themselves and for their families, not for society. Those who have striven for society, an...
November 16, 2017 at 21:00
:-} That's not what I said. I said envy emerges because certain people, political agitators, tell poor people that they really should be wealthy, but ...
November 16, 2017 at 19:27
It's not about having the most money, it's about doing the most useful work for society that you can do. That requires money to scale and finance your...
November 16, 2017 at 19:06
:s - what's wrong with you, I actually haven't insulted you in that post at all, and especially not about how much money you have. How much money you ...
November 16, 2017 at 19:01
With regards to what is happening in the US, and pretty much everywhere, yes, I do think business taxes should go down. As far as I'm concerned that u...
