I could explain it to a rational person, but no, I believe this is something you will never be able to grasp.
You heard it here first, folks: Everything in life is either a reward or punishment.
Sand? Reward.
Vowels? Punishment.
The TV show version of Goosebumps? Punishment.
Transfinite numbers? mm.... Reward?
Funny you should say that... Because nobody can really explain it... And the answer is always "I'm not going to waste my time."
LOL
Why would you need to invent a lunatic baseball analogy? There is literally already a baseball tax on the rich that is funneled directly to poor teams.
What you are saying is the Yankees are the biggest victims in MLB. Do you feel dirty? I feel dirty just having written those words...
No, I'm not going to waste my time, because last time I tried to have a rational conversation with you in one these threads you said "I'll be right back" and then you just ran away. So, it truly is pointless to bother with you. But only you, specifically.
In your usual attempts to be clever, you obviously miss the boat once more. I didn't say it's either or, I asked him what he would describe it as? So far, I haven't gotten an answer. I asked him if he sends more than he is required, I haven't gotten an answer.
If you're referring to the Rand Paul thread, I believe I was the last response in that one... You had disappeared for a while
Of course not. The Yankees pay a luxury tax. They CHOOSE to SPEND more money. It's the equivalent of a sales tax to us. Nice try
Yeah, I'm referring now to the thread you actively ignored for three weeks. I see now you did come back after I'd said "**** it" and posted an answer that contained absolutely no content whatsoever while ignoring my points. Sure was worth the wait. DEFINITELY makes me want to have more adult conversations with you.

Revenue sharing.
Sorry that my life doesn't revolve around "getting back to Meta"
But since you're unable and/or unwilling to explain why taxing one group of people more than a different group of people is somehow NOT discriminatory, I guess I'll go on with my life assuming I am correct.
Since MLB is not using forced tax paid money, I don't care what they do with their business.
sick burn brah
Yeah, I don't think anything anyone says in this thread could possible change that one.
Yeah, that was the point

That's not true. I started a thread saying "taxes are theft"... But some folks made a good argument saying that since we choose to work here, we are choosing to pay the taxes. So I backed off my original stance just a bit.
So since Meta is out now...
Can someone tell me that % of their income the rich should be paying? Like, an actual number?
Not only punishment. Capital crime!
Your initial thoughts are valid though. I did my grad work in the 1980s on flat-tax/limited marginal rate frameworks and there's a lot of support for going to a structure like that. The credit/deduction/zero-bracket part of the discussion is where the gummy worms melt and things get sticky.I know as much about what you just talked about as I do about heart surgery, Nothing!

no doubt
