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

No

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

It has however been a pleasant conversation with you @AH-64

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
