Wal Mart increases starting wage

Your an interesting person Brian37! Your sense of humor is outrageous, even for me! People survive here, in Hawai'i well because of Ohana which means family. It is not unusual to see a multi-addition house with 6 mail boxes.

However, you cannot tax the rich because they have the means to leave. Boeing was always a big employer in Washington State. That is until they tried to tax them further. Then they moved to Chicago where they were given a tax break for just providing necessary jobs.

In California they tried to increase corporate taxes only to have the business and the jobs go next door to Nevada where there is no corporate tax. That was quite a boom for Nevada!

And if America wants to get rid of there rich, all they have to do is try and tax them unreasonably. There are places in the world BEGGING us to move there such as the Kingdom of Vanuatu. Does it really matter, in this computer-cell phone world were we choose to live?

I was amongst the richest on Maui and do you want to know what they brag about? How poor they are? Why? Taxes! Do you understand that I can pay a lawyer $10.000 dollars and that lawyer will structure me so I can qualify for Medicare?

You CANNOT fix the world, or this country, by overburdening rich people with taxes. They will just say FUCK YOU and leave! And they have the means to do so!

I don't find this funny at all. And no, who the hell is claiming I can fix the world? I do have a voice and if I can help make the country less lopsided I will use my voice.

No shit family lives together, that is fine, but not every body does. 

"You cant tax the rich otherwise they will leave".


BULLSHIT, we have in our tax code history had far higher tax rates. This blackmail, nothing more. If you expect me to feel sorry for billionaires you are a fool. There is a huge difference between "can't" and "don't want to". The rich CAN afford higher taxes, that is fucking nonsense based on nothing but GREED.

Agreed they won't leave . They never have prior they won't now it's a bluff . They realize even if they won't admit it that living in a first world country is better. Even if they refuse to contribute to it staying that way and prefer the "I got mine fuck everyone else mentality ) Which is ultimately in the broad and long term self destructive to society . And lowers there own prosperity .
