Group Seeks Amazon Boycott Over Sales Tax Fight

[kirtar]

And so You attack those who have paid into the programs that support them for Years and so how is that not class warfare? What's next You start killing old, blind and disabled people?? NAZIs did that in Germany in the 1930's, read Yer History, Yer ignorance is starting to show.

Godwin's law is all I have to say to that.

wow....i think i misread this about the boycott because of lack of sales tax but lolled afterwards.

Oh and one more thing, people in these welfare programs as It were at least aren't looking and competing for scarce jobs, So be quiet and very thankful...

I don't see how a less competetive workforce would help society out in the least.

Considering what He was saying Nazi was appropriate, so Godwin doesn't apply...

What does that have to do with those who get SSI who can't work anymore? I'm not a part of the workforce and according to private industry I'm not worth hiring, since I'm not able bodied enough anymore.

Godwin's law is simply that as the length of an internet discussion increases, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (of course you could argue that for any topic). I would even extend it to be comparisons involving Nazi Germany on one end and Soviet Russia on the other. We've got one of them in this thread and very close to the other.

Please, please, please stop citing extreme cases and calling people socialist or fascist.

Since You asked nicely and said please, stopping.

 

[kirtar]

Since You asked nicely and said please, stopping.

Just in case others didn't get it, that was a general statement
@JokerCPoC: I hope you didn't take that as directed at you personally (I grabbed the socialist part from someone else of course)

My point is that I'm not thankful you can't work.

You're a socialist.

Inigo Montoya would question your use of that word.

I certainly don't think we should take one group of peoples money that worked hard to get where they are and give it to another group that may or may not have worked hard. It's crap and creates class warfare.

One of the richest people alive had something to say about that:

It turned out that Mr. Buffett, with immense income from dividends and capital gains, paid far, far less as a fraction of his income than the secretaries or the clerks or anyone else in his office. Further, in conversation it came up that Mr. Buffett doesn’t use any tax planning at all. He just pays as the Internal Revenue Code requires. “How can this be fair?” he asked of how little he pays relative to his employees. “How can this be right?”
Even though I agreed with him, I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare.
“There’s class warfare, all right,” Mr. Buffett said, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
​

There comes a point in any wealthy person's career that they are no longer creating their own money and they start primarily leeching off the work of others like parasites. Unwealthy people give decades of their lives to work and a select few reap the benefits of the lifespan those millions gave up. Nobody can become a billionaire just by "working hard", as you say. That is a complete lie. You become a billionaire by leeching years of life from others.

Ok, not a problem kirtar. Though there are some other people out there who like to play the part of the Tin Woodsman, but then their heartless and maybe even thoughtless too.
