They don’t get the concept it’s not greedy to want to keep some of my own money for myself.
I’d take liberals more seriously if they’d be willing to increase their taxes but their solution is always taking someone else’s money

As long as Neuro does not bury or hide it under a mattress the money will stimulate the economy as well or better than the government seizing and giving it to someone.

No, this is just how you feel because you’re in the top 5% and don’t want to do your part.
Please find a single comment of mine that states I want people to be taxed based on political affiliation. Otherwise you’re just making shit up now. These accusations do nothing to further the conversation or be respectful. Isn’t that a rule in this community?

I do my part. It’s time others do their part. We already pay more of our income and the bulk of all taxes.
It’s time for you to sacrifice like we do.

Who is “we”?
You do realize the lower earners in this country pay taxes too, yeah?
it’s time for you to sacrifice like we do

@BobaFuttbucker @wintermute_oregon Greed is about selfishness, not desire

Haha dude it’s a selfish desire. You understand like half of what the words you use mean.
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 5 months ago
Greed is literally the desire to have more of something. Sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s power, it can be other things too.
Your accusatory comments do nothing to further the conversation. You’re just mad at liberals because you’ve been told to be because they take things. This is part of what keeps us from uniting as a population to tackle issues that affect us all.

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
