Any rule like that will just be exploited and bent by the rich, like it alraedy is

or the people with small businesses who would be smart enough to just spend money for themselves through their business

No, I never said anything about all that free stuff.

I'm mocking that the idea is about as useful and feasable, not that you argued for more social programs.

All we have to do is get a slightly less corrupt congress, and get a Fed that can't unilaterally change policy.

But seeing as how we keep voting for these horrendous spending bills I have little hope that will ever happen

It could be exploited, and I guess after people figure out how to exploit that system it would be useless.

I already figured out how to exploit your system and it's not even real.

The IRS barely enforces any laws as it is now.

Enron would like to disagree

heh

Makes you look pretty herpderp when you don't know the difference between the SEC or the IRS

and Enron is an example of the SEC knowing shit was going down

and not doing anything

until the company collapsed

so even in that case it's a dumb comment.

Was is stocks. I thoght enron was taxes and martha stewert was sec

It's like saying the Chicago Police arrested one man for murder so there's not a crime problem.

Feb 13, 2003Scandal of crashed company's tax evasion. The three volume report was also critical of deferred compensation plans for executives used widely to avoid tax. It noted in passing that Enron had paid $53m (£32m) in previously deferred compensation to top executives in the weeks before it went bankrupt.

I don't know how to respond without sounding like a complete asshole. But IRS, SEC, FDA, doesn't really matter the realities of these organizations always tends to be similar. Ever Broadened Scope.

Some people will get caught, but the behavior remains widespread regardless.

This article was written by an idiot

they weren't caught on tax evasion

The financial accounting rules weren't as strict

A lot of the shit they were doing besides outright fabricating the numbers wasn't really illegal

That's why Sarbanes-Oxley exists.

Enron Exec Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion - Los Angeles Times

The tax-evasion charge stems from a 1997 deal to sell wind farms Enron owned in California. Larry Lawyer, 34, became the fourth person federal prosecutors have secured a guilty plea in their probe ...

Notice how it says Exec

The point you were saying is the IRS barely enforces laws.
Clearly they do

Yeah, and clearly the Chicago PD have stopped all gun violence becauset they arrested some people this weekend.

It's baffling to me that you clearly don't really know the details about the Enron situation, but are still trying to use it to support some sort of riposte.

If I asked you what's the difference between the FTC and the SEC you'd have to google it I'm sure.

I would venture to say there are more then just this one tax fraud issue

You know the IRS doesn't really check everyone's taxes right?

You know incorporated businesses file quarterly right?

If the company hadn't done things so badly they failed, they wouldn't have been "caught"

I'm not an economist. I know ones the trade commotion the others security's and exchange (stocks)

Economists don't know shit anyway, and you don't have to be an economist to know about regulatory agencies.

Or the history of Enron

I might as well google the instances of hate crimes to prove how white supremecy is on the rise.

That's your kind of logic when it comes to my criticisms of the regulatory agencies.
