Uh, where do you think the money the government hands to the corporations comes from? The poor do not pay any taxes?? Due to their poverty levels, they pay proportionately more taxes than anyone else. You DO understand this simple logic, yes? They are forced to give up a portion of their livelihoods that corporations may survive. In the USA, the poor are in greater numbers than the rich. You do know what that means, yes? You do not believe the rich are paying their fair share of the taxes, do you? But of course not, for if they were forced to do so, they would shut down any of their businesses, and leave the US for better tax havens. I know because I see this all the time here in Canada. It is the NDP party of Canada seeks to tax the fuck out of corporations, something that is ill-advised on my part.

You think because government doles out welfare to corporations, so that politicians can get it back as campaign contributions, that the poor are financially harmed. This would have to assume that had the corporations NOT received corporate welfare, the poor would pay less in taxes or receive monetary benefits they do not get now. This is flawed logic. Even if all corporate welfare were abolished, the poor would not benefit in any way. Their taxes would not be reduced. In fact, they might suffer as corporations would likely charge more for their products and eliminate jobs currently held by the working poor.

And...the poor outnumber the rich in EVERY nation on Earth. So your stating the poor outnumber the rich in the USA, is meaningless.

The Government gave hundreds of billions to the banks in QE

The poor pay because of the inflation that follows and hits them hardest

The government gives hundreds of billions to arms companies and they get this money mostly from the poor

They give huge subsidies to businesses and this money comes from taxation, mostly from the poor

Any half intelligent person can understand this in a heartbeat

The right love wealth redistribution, just from the poor to the rich. Then they call it capitalism.

And the idiots who support them are totally sucked in by the purported nobility of this

Funny how using taxation to save American lives through healthcare is socialism and therefore bad but giving money to rich bankers is capitalism and therefore good

I suppose you just have to be a hypocritical imbecile to be right wing

Would you care to explain WHY you deem it necessary to warn me and to delete my posts? Intellectual discourse is beyond your ken?

Your posts offer no intellectual discourse just inane ranting. Deal with it

Oh brother...you get more ridiculous with very post.

Inflation harms all citizens. Who causes inflation? Do you have any idea?

The government pays for armaments with money taken from the poor....CRAZY!!!!......the poor have no money...so how does the government get money from them?

Now for the FACTS....the top 20% of US tax payers pays over 70% of the income tax. The bottom 20% pays nothing to actually getting money. As a radical leftist, you should love the tax system in the US.

So, you are wrong again.

Lets get back to discussion here. The government can do whatever they want for any reason. Like the IRS has too much power. They can seize your home, Your bank account and ever reposes your car. State of California is very close of doing what Cyprus is doing now.

I am not sure what this post is here , USAa is not Socialist. Nor is most of Europe and Canada.. Cyrus is just carrying out a tax policy to remain stable. All parties support this . If Socialism is so wrong why is Australia run by the Labor Party the only developed country to have no depression and little government debt.

The IRS may only do so IF you do not pay your taxes. How is that a problem for you??? Why should everyone else pay their taxes, but not you? I'm all for this. It spreads equality. I would suggest you read up on why Greece is literally bankrupt. Look no further than taxes, and the Greeks who refuse to pay them.
