Jesus Christ, people calling estate tax "double taxation."
Hey, guess what? When you get your paycheck, you pay tax. When you go to the store with that money and buy shit, you pay tax. Is that double taxation? But wait! The company you bought that stuff from has to pay tax on their income. Triple taxation! And then they use some of the money that's left over to pay their employees, and those guys pay taxes on that money! What the hell, government?
A good point up to double taxation, then it starts falling apart, I'm afraid, as it's income from separate labor that is being taxed for both the triple and quadruple taxations to which you referred.
Meanwhile, the folks who inherent your money have to pay sales tax when they spend it, so that is kinda triple taxation, if you think of it that way.

Life isn't fair. 3.5 million American kids don't get enough to eat. So sorry I can't work up any sympathy that you might have to cancel your kids' tennis lessons.

Yes, that makes sense; don't get mad at the government, or anyone in a position of authority that can do something; just get mad at some random guy on the Internet.
That will definitely bring about the social change you so vehemently desire.
Median household income in the U.S. is $50K. If half of all families in the country can get by on less than that, then you have no excuse for struggling with five times as much.
Oh, right, it's not like I can't afford to live, but things like letting mrs deacon stay home and raise the kids and art and swim lessons for them are the reason I get up early and bust my ass all day.
Yes, and it's great that you are able to provide those things for them.
But.
You are in no way entitled to any of that. You have chosen to live your life a certain way, and if that lifestyle happens to be outside what you are actually capable of supporting (as opposed to what you, personally, think it should be) then the fault is not in your stars, but in yourself.
so you are just a pissed off socialist
got it
conservatives bitch about poor people living beyond their means all the time. :rotate:
You don't remember pretending to be black to Evander so you could make generalizations about politics and race?
Well, it's started that way, but...
Look, this may be too progressive for you guys to accept, but race is just, like... a social contruct, you know? Like gender.
And, like gender, one might find himself or herself cursed by the immutable bonds of genetics or heritage into being pigeonholed by society. Some of those in the LGBT community will understand where I'm coming from.
So the question, "did you pretend to be black" is actually quite complex and deserves a longer answer than I have time for now. All I ask is that you refrain from judgement and accept me as this community has with so many others in the past.

Man, JJ has gotta have more than one employee
Not sure where this is coming from, but yes, my wife stays home with my kids, they take art lessons, etc.
Mine is better.
It has two dollar signs. 8-)
No only when bad things happen to rich people.

no, it was a social experiment
and it had hilarious results because people really did treat him differently
No turns out he was race-baiting Evander and then kept it up for like 2 years.
that's actually pretty hilarious

YOU'RE NOT DAVE?
don't be ridiculous
Oh, never mind, that's completely understandable.

I...never said that? I'm saying that anyone who earns six figures and still complains that they can't make ends meet can kiss my ass.
That wall of text really proved your point.

how many goddamn steves are on this board
oh yeah, right
Much like being gay, Deacon's blackness was caused by his environment.
Once he started making more then $250k a year, his skin got lighter.
It's fixed now, jerk!
edit: also I saw that empty spoiler mr. edit pants.
