someone posted this on our squad forum, I'll just paste my reply:

Rich bloke whining.

the guy pays over $250,000 a quarter in taxes. This means he makes over $2m a year (probably closer to $4m a year if he has a decent tax accountant.) you can probably guess how sympathetic I am to his desire to make even more. Apart from the fact that without the taxes he wouldn't have a trained workforce to employ, infrastructure to transport his goods to market, hardly any market to sell into, no exports, no protection for his property (physical and intellectual) etc etc.

Since when did taxes pay for a trained work force.  All of my jobs, I received OJT.  Didn't knwo the government paid for training as welders and doctors and businessmen.  And the protection he receives is not paid by taxes either.  Insurance is paid by him and others that have policies with that business.  Remember, if the taxes were lower, he could expand his business and hire more people.  Don't understand how people can miss that.  I work in a company of less than 20 people.  The economy is slow right now.  Orders have slowed.  My bosses taxes are staying the same.  If things slow down more am I going to get laid off.  Maybe.  If his taxes fell as well, I might get to keep my job.

This guy is a joke, he also strikes me as very unpatriotic.

He lives in a country that gave him the opportunities to apparently build a multi million dollar business from the ground up. This likely happened in a time of strong economic growth and over inflation.

Now when there is a correction, he's going to cut and run, and take all of his USA made dollars to another country (where presumably he would not have had the same opportunities to start with). Yet at the same time he is blaming the government which gave him the freedoms to build the business in the first place.

The truth is if the government did more to prevent this economic recession all along, he would have likely never had the opportunities to make his millions in the first place.

Perfect example of, "asking what your country can do for you". Too bad he's taking so much money out of the country.

Some people need a reality check. There are plenty of business owners that have put in just as much if not more hard work into their companies, and have not seen a fraction of what this guy probably makes in one year. These business owners did not over extend themselves during the false economic growth and are now still strong enough to survive a few years of hard times.

Its the multi million dollar over inflated businesses (likely much like this guy's) that started a lot of the problems in the first place. So he must sell his fancy car, fancy house, fancy life style, and go back to something reasonable, or move to some low income country where he can retire and live like a king?  :cry me a river. And at the same time he's slapping the country that let him earned his millions right in the face and is not willing to stick it out in the hard times.

Good riddance, this is not the type of people that will help us out of our hard times.

The journey is the destination.

snopes is INterestingly your friend in these made up stories

INterestingly enough - most taxes are collected by sales taxes which run the local and state governments - and the majority of those taxes are paid by the lower 25% of income levels - the tax proportion to income level is much more equal than any 1 party in this country wants to admit..

any body bring cheese to this whine party?

in the US since the mid C19th when public schools started to appear. I should have said educated or trainable. hard to read a manual if you cant, well, read...

taxes also pay for police forces, legislature and judiciary - hence protection :)
