There's a verse on it
Hold up
When the king is concerned with justice, the nation will be strong, but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country.
Proverbs 29:4
A good person knows the rights of the poor, but wicked people cannot understand such things.
Proverbs 29:7
We feel the effects of bracket creep now. It's why I can't take programs serious that talk about only taxing the super-rich. That's what all tax codes wanted to do, and yet here we are, with middle class earners paying the top rate
What is allowing taxes to creep to the middle class
And why are the rich being taxrd less
Genuine question I don't know
I'd wager it's the rich lobbying or having favors done but nothing to confirm
It means that as nominal income rises, people move into the higher tax brackets, even though their real income has stayed the same or even decreased
Too many brackets imo
3-5 brackets max
States are greedy, more greedy than any corporation I ever dealt with. You know how I feel? I feel that my state hates me
And hates my entire family
You are confusing the state with politicians
Everyone talks about taxing the rich as if they were all thieves, and here I am, taxed like I was rich. What can I conclude, except that the state regards me as a thief?
We have politician-states
The problem is politicians
Not the state within of itself
The state produces them
Corruption and Money do
Money is the root of all evil, follow the money and you find the evil
If you believed that, you wouldn't beg the rich for their money
Or demand it at gunpoint, whatever
Is my intention to enrichen myself?
No
I believe the ends justify the means
Hospitals, schools, do you think you can build those without money?
I didn't say abolish money
I said evil can always he traced by it's money
And thus I can conclude
That it is not the concept of a state that creates bad politicians
But the effect of money and greed
Anyways I will be heading off as it is late
No problem
I am glad we have had a civil conversation
And look forward to continuing this tommorow
Thank you. Likewise! Maybe we will, I cannot guarantee it however
@Koninos thank you
