Reply #187: I can't keep explaining to you the fine points you don't understand [View All]

At some point, you will have to take responsibility for learning these things for yourself. You have a very general understanding of these issues, and your lack of understanding is resulting in borderline worthless threads with 100s of posts directed to you which you seem to be ignoring.

The tax issue which you don't understand is that the Republicans do tax one form of income a great deal -- earned income, because that's not how most republicans get rich. The issue here is, do we burden income earners or do we ask unearned income recipients to bear a bigger burden. To burden earned income earners more than unearned income recipients is to discourage labor and to reward wealth.

Your entire argument reveals that you don't understand this distinction. You want to punish earned and unearned income. Would that you had a better understanding of this, this thread would be much shorter.

So, tell me. Are you going to pick up a book on economics and taxation and are you going to try to understand this, or are you just going to reveal your stubborn refusal to understand these more complicated issue by embarking on 200 post threads?
