You guys are conveniently forgetting that most people new to the upper class have and are still working very hard to improve their means.
Just imagine a person coming from a humble background. His parents for whatever reason did not have the chance to go to college. His parents teach him / her from a young age the meaning of hard work.
He does good at school and gets a grant to study medicine at a good college. He continues to work hard at college and eventually graduates. After a internship and some other loops he / she finally becomes a doctor.
Afterwards he goes to work as a doctor and slowly but surely the money starts coming in.
After all that hard work now some hopeless idealist comes and tells him. No sorry Mr / Ms we are going to start a movement to tax you more because we think you are skipping your civil duties by not providing for those who are not willing to do it for themselves.
There is no reason why someone who makes 4 million a year or more can't reinvest and create jobs in their local communities.
If you earn 4 million a year you would have to have a certain amount of business finesse. If that is the case you are not going to have you money sit idly and do nothing. You are going to invest that money further.
That is why many times when you ask a well off person for money he often tells you I can't my money is all tied up.
the reason most americans are hurting is because they adopted the buy now pay later mentality instead of the save now buy later. i know because i am one of the stupid people that did it.
i just got a job promotion at work and me and the wife are getting ready to pay off our van in about 3 or 4 months.
once that is paid off we are getting our credit cards paid off. then one of my student loans.
after that we are going to tackle my big student loan and then all we will owe is our mortgage.
if everything goes according to plan i will be debt free in 15 years if that.
You sir are on the right track.
ONLY if the reinvest, create jobs, support research, or valuable causes. Otherwise they are just hoarding for their own gains.
I would just like to add even if the person just keeps a debit balance in the bank that money is put to use by the bank in the form of loans to businesses and the like. So even in that case the money is used productively.
Rich people spend exhorbitant amounts of money.
Maybe the ones who where born into money and never did a honest day of work in their life have that feeling towards money, but for the ones who had to work extremely hard for every bit of success they achieved it is different.
People who had to work for their money generally are more responsible with it.
Rivaltuna what is Krav Maga like. Looks like a fighting method that would appeal to me, but what makes that method special. I have heard to put a onus on staying on your feet the whole time.
Like to hear what it is like from someone who has actually done it.
Rockers often look the music theory over, but if you want to play metal and learn various exotic scales your going to need good skills in music theory. It is also good if you want to learn music in any formal academy setting. That is true for the guitar institute just as much as it is for Julliard.
I just hope the Democrats don't cave on revenue, the majority of Americans support tax increases on the wealthy. A 50-50 split is what I am hoping for in the end.
How is the top 2 percent of rich people going to pay the same amount of taxes than the 35 - 75 % of people that construe the middle class. Even if you tax them substantially more the are too few of them to make a substantial difference to the budget figures.
It seems to me that this issue of taxing the wealthy has become political in America and that more and more people are under the illusion that taxing America's wealthy is going to solve the financial problems in America.
I think that America should adopt policies that enhance trade in the US. Keeping things local than rather outsourcing at the drop of a hat. Too much of America's production is done elsewhere in the world and that has a big impact on the amount of trade jobs that are created.
If America can get over paying slightly more for things in trade for producing things locally then it will be the average American who will benefit.
It shuts down zoo and twin which are top tier decks that are going to see huge amounts of play.
Pandemonium seems risky. You could easily either have it your hand and not wanting to play it against zoo / twin (making it a dead draw) or play it and lose to your own enchantment. It is also to a great degree counter intuitive to Ghostly prison because it lets your opponent deal damage to you with creature's but without attacking. In essence negating the effect of the prison.
Spam is a short post that offers nothing to the discussion. Please post a more thoughtout post in the future. Infraction issued.

Does not strike me as very fair.

Maybe not a warrior, but there is a youtube video where Richard Dawkins calls atheist to arms.

Seems the same
Funny. Listening to Richard Dawkins talk gives me the same feeling.

Generalising is not a good thing Valarin. Remember that before you going thinking Christians are sexually repressed.
I'm not quite sure how to take you speaking of Jesus freaks. Could be a veiled insult. Not sure.

Trickbind is another good option
