The hatred Americans have for the poor is shocking!

Post by traveller »

The linked thread is unlikely to be up much longer, as the forum it is posted on is based in North Korea, most likely Pyongyang, and has an administrator that may even be a relative of the late Kim Il-Sung. http://www.city-data.com/forum/real-est ... erica.html

The point of the OP in that thread is common knowledge. Real Estate in English based systems has been the property of the crown since the time of Billy the Conqu. That is why it is called real (Spanish for royal) estate.

Taxes are necessary evil. How is government going to run the country without money?



You have to pay soldiers , cops, firefighters, doctors, teachers, street cleaners, run social services..send aid to Israel and hungry people in Africa

Complete desire to be a slave. How pitiful to think that the only way to have civilization is by government theft.
Actually more like; "We can not have civilization with retirees, lower class, and disabled people in our midst! No way! Civilization can only exist if only the richest are allowed to thrive. Survival of the fittest, and only the fittest! It's the way of nature!"

Only indirect taxes, and that which are true taxes. Property taxes are not true taxes at all, and neither are they even taxes. Nope, property taxes are really property rents, or more accurately, rents of land used for public purposes. And as obvious, many posters in that thread just as much don't want to hear that property taxes are rents of land used for public purposes covered behind a deceitful mask as they don't want to hear that the World Trade Center was purposefully imploded on 9/11.

It's far worse in countries like Brazil, South Africa, and the Philippines.

In Communist countries it can be bad, but definitely not as bad as in those places.

Excellent sarcasm
1)Too much of one thing defeats the purpose.
2)Everybody is full of it. What's your hypocrisy?

Both the "left" and "right" think the rich and industry pay the taxes for all the doody-goody pet-projects; in reality those costs are simply passed on to the consumer...

Agree! Do some traveling and then come back to the US and see if you still have the same opinion.

Poor people can treated badly in the US, but they're not treated as literally subhuman trash as in India. There's job and housing discrimination, social rejection, and so on, but at least there's some reasonable chance for social mobility unlike in India. Over there, Brahmins actually consider dalits (untouchables) to be vermin, and the caste systems in place mean that social mobility is all but impossible.

America is comminist! Society doesn't want to admit it, but in fact, roughly 98 percent of the world is communist. In fact, seriously, take a look at this article. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20 ... ifesto.htm

Its more like, get used to it, it'll make you tougher. (alarm clocks, work, driving fast, etc).

Then at some point they lash out against a poor person. They have no awareness of this.

To some people, having kids just makes this problem worse, I think.

Think about it, even rich CEOs are addicted to this habit.

America isn't communist. Even if public schools started requiring uniforms it isn't even close to communist. Capitalism in America - you need to think.
Then again, some people go all the way (cognitive dissonance/fallacy of incomplete evidence).

Eat dates.

The problem is iphones.
