One thing you will have to learn about this sub-forum is there are VERY vocal groups at each end of the spectrum and all they can do is repeat the party line over and over again and if you don't agree with them they call you names. That's just how political forums work all across the internet in...
We have a very real problem in our country with all of this. On one hand we want people to go out and be productive, but on the other how logical is it to work full-time with no benefits and make less than you would being on welfare.
I agree that income distribution is the key to this...
You guys backing up GBs worth of important files is that work or something? Hard to see anyone having that much important personal information to backup unless you are backing up a ton of pictures or something
I work this schedule as well, except at night. I go to work at 6pm and get off at 6am. I work 3 days on and 4 off then the next week 4 days on and 3 days off. It's a killer only because I have to switch from sleeping during the day to sleeping at night and back again in a short 3-4 day window.

I have nothing against the individual who went out and made the money. My problem is with the system and how it allows and even encourages wealth to concentrate into the hands of just a few.
I agree 100%. The Board and CEOs should be held liable for all actions made by their firms. This would keep things inline and not let things get out of control.
Where I live you will be hard pressed to find a job without a car. Many of the jobs even ask you about reliable transportation and no the bus is not good enough.
Collecting taxes in general is social engineering. The way they are collected or the way they are spent will be used to encourage or enforce certain behaviors.
Basically the only avenue of encouragement the government has is economic. Anything else they do is law. So I'm not really seeing how that is any different for an individual or a corporation.
What if giving a tax incentive is a cheaper solution than creating a new government agency or bureaucracy to get a certain desired outcome? You know the saying You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
So why is it OK for corporations to get tax breaks but not individuals?
Yes people's and corporation's behavior. It's been that way since taxes started, and as long as taxes continue to be collected it will continue. It either comes in the form of how they are collected or how they are spent. Either way taxes are used to control behavior.
Just the act of collecting taxes is a social engineering mechanism. So, if you are going to collect taxes of any kind where are you going to draw the line on how they are collected, how they are spent and who (if anyone) receives any breaks??
