@AverageJoe1 the lottery winner pays taxes. He will take home around 700 million.
How do you propose to build and maintain the infrastructure (roads, education, hospitals, etc.) that enables business to successfully do business?
@phranny saidI will answer this obvious question. The guy has money, pays taxes...I have money, I pay taxes. The Billionaires have money and pay taxes. Those taxes are used for the purposes you mention.

I guess this answers your question but I do not get your
gist...what are you getting at? Standing by.....
PS: Ole Zahlanzi must be quite rich if the govt pays for all his expenses. Does the govt allow him to save his money, maybe buy a 2nd home at the lake for his kids to ride in the ski boat??

Another 'I refuse to answer that question' post. You never answered another one, do you agree losing democracy in the US would be a bad thing? For instance.

You're letting them fool you, Joe. Your plutocrat masters are letting you pick up the bill, while pretending to pay it themselves. The billionaires are not paying - you are. Stop being fooled. Cast off your chains, and rise up against the billionaire parasites!

@wajoma saidThere is nothing voluntary about facing starvation.
There is nothing unethical about the voluntary exchange of value for value.

@averagejoe1 saidNo. We lambast them for [i]the parasitic way the got that rich[i], and the equally parasitic way they refuse to pay their dues to society.
Prior to now, all libs have lambasted billionaires for years about being so rich
If billionaires contributed to the economy and to society like the rest of us, we wouldn't have any problem with them. But trickle-down is a lie, and an intentional one.
You're letting yourself be fooled, Joe. The billionaires are taking you for a ride, and you're paying the taxi driver.

@ponderable saidAnecdote is not data, but... the majority of scam calls I've had, always had a subcontinental accent. The only other ones were Dutch, and they stopped when DSB fell. I've never had a scam call with an English or USA accent, and none speaking Dutch for years.
In fact it could have been an error (if you are right). In scientific discussions you would offer at least a source for your theses (that the majority of calls are from india or Pakistan).
Russians!? They wouldn't know where to start, or how to speak English. I would believe that in the USA, there are Russian-paid political phone spammers, but happily we don't get those in Europe.

@sonhouse saidDefine democracy, I have asked you at least 20 times. Then we will be on the same page?

@shallow-blue saidAnd YOU, my friend, are asking your neighbor to pay your bills. They have money, you want it. "Gimme it! Free Stuff".

Could you be the parasite, Shallow Blue?
I thought it was resolved in the "Lottery" post that the lottery winner and the billionaires, after all taxes are paid, get to keep their money to do with as they will. Charity, philanthropy, new yacht, education.....
So what are you telling the forum today? You and Zahlanzi.?
