Trickle down economics

[Lemuel]

It should be abundantly clear to anyone reading this which side has come out victorious.

On that we definitely agree.

 

[Spyridon]

I think the refusal to answer simple questions or clarify your position shows who has the weaker position.

 

[Lemuel]

I have answered every question.

yep, that what happened when Reagan tried it and when Bush 43 tried. But it became disastrous toward the end of Bush 43s term. Everything crashed. I lost my job and my 401k.

 

[Spyridon]

No, you have not.

You gave a snarky comment about Caesar feeding the hungry.

You never clarified your contradictory statement.

 

[Lemuel]

You never clarified your contradictory statement.

That’s because there wasn’t one.

 

[Spyridon]

Then what did you mean when you said you missed the lesson about Caesar feeding the hungry, then claimed the US is making the same mistakes as the Roman Empire by feeding the hungry?

 

[Lemuel]

I never said that. The contradiction is in your own head.

 

[Spyridon]

And Caesar used it to feed the poor. I also missed that lesson.

You in fact did say that.

Then you said the US was repeating the mistakes of Rome.

 

[Lemuel]

We are repeating them.

 

[Spyridon]

And what mistakes would those be?

 

[Lemuel]

Too many to describe here. Read up on your Roman history.

 

[Spyridon]

Give one example which is germane to this thread.

Maybe that’s not how it works for you, and that’s perfectly fine. But that is how it works for me. I would rather spend the time studying it and gaining my own understanding of it than listening to what others think.

Is that not what Protestants do when as it pertains to the Bible? It works for them. They rather spend time studying the Bible and gaining their own understanding of it than listening to what others think(especially us Catholics)

Unsustainable predatory taxation.

 

[Spyridon]

Predatory taxation?

What about the bill Trump just signed to reduce taxes?

It seems to me that you are of the opinion that ANY taxes at all are predatory. That is not an acceptable position to take for a society to function.

 

[Lemuel]

It seems to me that you are of the opinion that ANY taxes at all are predatory. That is not an acceptable position to take for a society to function.

You have weird thoughts in your head and you say things that I never said or thought.

 

[Spyridon]

So when do taxes become predatory then?

 

[Lemuel]

They already are. It’s past tense.

 

[Spyridon]

At what point did they become predatory?
