This is what we want.

1. It's easy. That's why they are shatting themselves.

K & R! Easy as a solar unit on every fucking roof!

2. Keep in mind that raising taxes in the future only applies to income made in the future.

If the wealthy don't want to pay higher tax rate in the future, they can do what the bottom 99% can't do... choose to not make money and comfortably live off their already-taxed savings.


People like Rush Limbaugh or any number of TV/radio personalities, movie actors, and sports stars can choose to not make a dime for the rest of their lives... and still spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on themselves and their luxurious lifestyle. With no danger of ever running out of money or not being able to leave a sizable inheritance to their children.

4. Whatever. We won't have to listen to the gas bag then will we. And when he spends, he'll be

putting the dough into someone else's pocket. I better he has a trillion dollar annual food and drug budget. :evilgrin:

10. The wonderful thing about the super-wealthly...

...is that in most cases their egos will keep them active and working regardless of the tax rate! :rofl:

9. Hey, the techology is getting better, and that is no longer a pipe dream.

And since China is making them, they'll be cheap crap they can sell us for a huge profit. LOL

12. We can only hope.

*snort*


But seriously, nationwide solar panel roofs would be a boon to our national security in so many ways!

3. Accumulation of wealth requires the ability to not spend everything you have.

You can be in the top 1% of earners and still spend yourself out of wealth.

Look at Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson.

A target for income is more realistic.

5. You can be.

There are exception. Nick Cage is one of the people who's lifestyle is extremely expensive as well.


But most of the people that get to the rarefied economic heights have either money-management skills, or the good sense to hire somebody with them.

:shrug:

It can't be that hard. Buy a 2,000 square foot home in a nice suburb and a new car. Furnish the house. Then put your money in a trust fund. Give yourself a $2,000 a week allowance, direct-deposited from the fund into your checking account.

Then find something to do. Work on indie projects. Teach Little League or PeeWee football. Become a Cub Scout pack leader. Go to college. Or *gasp* raise a family.



Or keep working, but take less money. Or keep working and just pay the higher taxes.

6. Are you a Dell fan?

You keep referring to gains and losses...

i.e. Your Paulson reference to a post I made earlier today.

btw: I take it personally... my deceased husband worked for Dell.

11. Dell computers? I like their reliability.

I have one at work at it keeps on ticking.

7. Short of murder how do you plan to

uhmm take the wealth from these people, with the caveat that the current system does not prevent them from running to the border, and a friendlier country (Much like those who used to employ people in manufacturing)?

[krispos42]

8. I don't plan to take their current wealth.

I plan to make them pay their fair share from their FUTURE wealth. And that requires the rank-and-file Repubes to wake up and start smelling what's trickling down their backs.

I think they're almost there.
