Should Everyone Be Entitled To A Piece Of The Wealth Pie?

There is no inheritance tax. It was removed while Bush was in office. Did the dems put one back?

 

I would and will never let that stop me ! I also think it is bogus that parents would not be allowed to leave their stuff to their children , what would government do with? who is to say the government wouldn't keep it? after a while it would have it all.

 

They're trying to.

 

They had complete control before the last congressional election. When the republicans had complete control, they changed dozens of things, yet I find it odd the dems have their hands tied by the minority. I don't support the inheritance tax, as it is only noble on face value. It sounds like a good thing to the working class, yet, it is the working class that takes generations to climb out of the pit. Of course, with the current economic climate, and no way to get those who caused it out of power, I don't know how good it can be doubling up on nothing. But in the end, the strength of tomorrow's middle class will depend entirely if they can inherit the house and land from their parents who earned it before globalism, when there was opportunity. It is the difference between the middle class being a 1/3 of what it was for baby boomers, or 2/3 of what it was for baby boomers.

 

And they just tried to get it reinstated when the bill to extend the Bush tax rates, they lost. But they are trying.

 

Yeah, the republicans having full control got everything they want, from the inheritance law, to patriot act, to bankruptcy reform, etc. Yet, somehow, the democrats with full control can't do anything. In order for there to be truth, there must be consistency. The constant thing is people who invest in politicians get whatever they want, regardless which party is in power. People say voting 3rd party is a wasted vote, when in all actuality, voting democrat is the wasted vote.

 

ill take the answer thats not available, the truth in fact and not some liberal BS about how you deserve someone elses money.


my choice is ....sure you should get a piece of the wealth pie,as long as you earned it by working your ass off like the rest of us.

 

Fact is most of those who have wealth got it by privilage and they sure as crap do not deserve it. In evolution terms they are not mutations that improved, but inbreed failures that continue to weaken the human race.

 

People who work hard and watch their rewards being taken are entitled to nothing. The deadbeat who refuses to work is absolutely entitled to wealth from the workers. Anything less would be inhuman.

 

Redistrubution of wealth is fundementally against liberal values - redistribution of wealth, so that everyone gets the same no matter how much or what kind of work they do (or don't do), is socialism, which is an altogether different and separate political ideology. Liberals only suggest that everyone should have the opportunity to succeed according to their own efforts, and that there should be a minimal safety net for those in society who are not able to work for themselves.

 

As a liberal, I would, of course, agree entirely with that.

 

Prove it, show the data.

 

You can keep your wealth pie, I just want to keep more of what I earn.

By the way, this poll is biased to point of retardation.

 

Who gives a crap how someone got their cash, as long as it was done
legally, it's none of your concern.

 

Loaded question.

 

People are entitled to what they earn.

They are not entitled to taxpayer money.

 

At no point should someone be able to say that property and wealth that you earned does not belong to you and should go to someone else. That is exactly what taxation and welfare is. It is the government stealing what you earned and giving it to people that did not earn it. Yet for some reason there are still people that think this is ok and there are still people that think it is ok for the government to take our money that we earned and give it to rich people in other countries!

 

The great thing is that anyone can bake their own wealth pie.

 

We have met the enemy...his name is "Progressive".



Endowed, constitutionally protected liberty and equality "entitles" one to a slice of the wealth pie....
that's all you get...nothing less, nothing more...

and any "American" who endeavors to futher manipulate this already precariously corrupted arrangement...
with additional, wholly unconstitutional, redistributive, outcome based federal mandates...

should immediately, and with extreme prejudice, be shown the business end of a pointed stick.

 

Your entitled to what you earn. I do not think you should be limited in what you can earn, and I do not believe you should hurt those who have earned.

 

Everyone should be entitled to the same opportunities as everyone else. However the people with wealth, who can afford to sent their children to a top school or college provide their child with a greater opportunity for success than a child who went to state school and a college which is not concerned the best.

I am a gradate with a first class degree who went to a community high school and went a newly established university. However a graduate with a lower class of degree than myself but when to a fee-paying school, (Eton for example) and went to Oxbridge will always get better opportunities than myself despite the fact I may be more qualified and talented in the role.

Its not more entitlement to a wealth pie it the destroying of the 1000 year class pie which is needed. Your school tie and alumni should no longer be used define the opportunities who have in life and your class.

 

Is that in the Constitution somewhere?

So you think 13,000,000 Mexican illegals are here to escape outrageous Mexican taxation??? LMAO

 

Stupid question

 

Only if you did not work for it.

 

The wording of the question seems to me to be loaded. "A piece of the wealth pie"??

Everyone is entitled to a level playing field. Everyone is entitled to equal opportunities. Everyone is entitled to equal protections.

Other than that, I'd say that normal human compassion (for those who possess it) dictates that when a member of society is in dire need, it is good and proper that those who are not in need pitch in to lend a hand. It is good for all of society, and it is proper with regard to morals, ethics, and compassion. I think it takes some degree of sociopathic personality to insist that all fend for themselves and if someone is in dire need, "screw them".

Just MHO.
