Agreed. Drugs are degenerate.
Most high income earners get drugs by the kilo and are high almost 24/7.
Honestly if you really wanted to help people just cut taxes on the working class tb-h
>>77663678
So now paying for welfare with the money you don't spend on drugs is equated with asshats who then receive that money and spend it all on drugs?
I know there are smart black people. Why are the idiots the only ones who find prominent positions from which to espouse absolute retardation?
>>77663678
Sounds good in theory but would be fairly difficult to enforce. The IRS has enough problems with staff as it is. An easier way to stick it to richfags would be to make all white collar crimes have mandatory minimums, that way no amount of legal jew magic can get these faggots out of jail time.
>>77663678
The one percent is a meme
The fact that they make money does not mean they are taking from the poor.
the left believes that we have a zero sum game.
>>77664685
There is nothing infinite in the world. All wealth has a source. Wealth cannot be created from nothing.

>having less of your money stolen from you is the same as getting goodies out of that money that was stolen from someone else.
This is why no one takes liberals seriously.

not the same thing

The majestic North American Sheboon.
You know, /pol/ being right wing and all usually opposes higher taxes on the rich on the basis that its inherently violent and their rightful money, which I agree. But we also need to realized that the majority of leftists are isolated, ivory tower ideologues to believe they "know whats right" for the working/middle class. Fuck the rich, they vote for more Syrian migrants, they're anti Trump, they filled with white guilt, fuck em all.
>>77663678
how can there be such envious poor miserable people in the usa? the social ladder is climbed through discipline, education, work, in a few (3 to 1 )generations. how many generations have these dindus already had to beter themselves?
>>77665082

Learn to science. Social Sciences like economics are hilariously ignorant about the material basis of wealth.

>>77665193
What you say is true, but for once, I don't see anything wrong with this. If they're going to drug test poorfags they should also drug test richfags, fair is fair.
>>77664774
>>77665211
>there is the same amount of material prosperity, utility, and wealth today as there was 3000 year ago
Wealth is created through labor, planning, and technological advances. The fact that it distributes itself nonlinearly in an optimal economy is a fact the left needs to stop getting butthurt over.
>>77665193
African Americans will always try to tear down people that attempt to climb gradually. That's why they idolize tasteless people that "made it" like rappers or athletes. They put all of their eggs into those baskets and don't amount to anything.
>>77663678
kek. yea sure give me a drug test to justify cutting my taxes even further. then we'll actually start drug testing people on welfare too.
it will be fucking hilarious when <1% of the 1%ers test positive for drugs.
>>77665384
>haha the 4th amendment protects you from unreasonable search but it's okay we'll just make your tax rates arbitraily high unless you """"voluntarliy"""" submit to this highly intrusive search
Don't be fooled by this "tax break" meme as if the government is doing you a favor.
Reminder that it's the (((1%))) and anything targeted at them is just fine.
>>77665436
if it distributed linearly it could still be inequal, leftists want equal distribution
IF THEY ARE THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN AMERICA THEY CAN JUST BUT SOMEONE ELSE PISS OR BRIBE A DR OR SOMETHING.
OR FUCK, JUST DO CRAZY EXOTIC DESIGNER DRUGS THAT AREN'T THE ONES BEING TESTED FOR.
THIS IS PANTS ON HEAD RETARDED AND WILL ONLY LEAD TO THE IRS PISS TESTING EVERY CITIZEN.
FUCK THAT AUTHORITARIAN BULLSHIT.
>>77665723
Demonizing the most succesful among your society is surely a road to prosperity.

They should do the same for tax refunds on working class people.
>>77663678
who will be funding this drug testing? surely this will come out of the lawmakers pockets?
>>77664873
>>77665759
I am aware of the highly impossible fantasyland of perfect equality that leftists want.
But even beyond that there is the fact that an optimal economy does not distribute wealth linearly. How many times have you heard something like "the top 1% increased their wealth by 200% while the bottom 10% only increased by 10%" or w/e, and the immediate ignorant conclusion is that the 1% is evil and must be stealing. Whereas the truth is this is just about the most effective way to raise the wealth of everyone in general. There has never been an efficient economy that did not display this feature.
>>77663678
Sure, if you drug test EBT recipients as well.
>>77665851
what is this image from?
>>77665659
Yeah , less than 1% of the 1%ers would probably not test positive for illegal drugs.
They can afford to have a doctor write them anything they want , no need to run to the dope boy.
That prescription absolves you of all wrong doing whether you need them or not.
Its rampant in the middle class and I'm sure even more so the further up.
>>77666489
that's what im saying. the majority of 1%ers like working more than partying. then the majority of people that party choose drink. smaller percentage on pills. even smaller percentage doing coke.
they're not doing as much illegal drugs as the media would have you think. their kids are but their kids arent robbing people for drug money. all these niggers getting busted with drugs are getting busted because they were committing some other property crime.
I'm all for it
>>77667308
>like working more than partying.
Don't kid yourself. 1%ers make around $700,000/year on average, mostly from investments. They don't work much harder than your average hard working middle class salary man.

>>77667308
yeah, and friendly reminder that coke only stays in the system in extreme cases 48 hours.
99% of the populations renders all testable traces of cocaine out in 24 hours.
So rich fucks just dont do blow on what, april 14 th?
>>77667534
my dad and his wife generally bring in around 500k/year. i dont know what their investments are doing but they definitely spend at least 10 hours a day at the office and are still doing work on the weekends too. keep living in a fantasy world where everyone that has money is sitting on their asses.
>>77663678
The amount of money you'd save will be vastly over shadowed by the amount of money you'd spend on those drug tests
Who thought of this stupid meme?
>>77668139
My dad works at the Federal Reserve and he just told me that you are full of shit.
>>77668124
never knew that
Why not test politicians? They made marijuana illegal.
>>77668226
my dad works for nintendo and your dad does not work for the fed

Well yeah. Illegal should apply to everyone, not just people without the means to hide their habits.

>a insignificant pile of sand, aluminum, and a tiny bit of gold has the same value as a smart phone
Does /pol/ actually support tax cuts on the rich? Seems like a shitty thing to do if I'm being honest, family.

Because any smart black people are denounced as 'Uncle Toms.'

A better question is: "Who do you trust more with your money; you or Washington DC?"
>>77668602
>>77668716
gotcha. i'm never going to do coke so it doesnt matter for me. you dont have to worry about me coming to find you after some failed drug test.
>>77663678
So, the point of drug testing welfare recipients is to make sure that they aren't spending tax money on drugs. The point of drug testing rich people before they can take tax deductions is what exactly? Fucking lunatic.
>>77664774
Wow, you really are retarded aren't you?
>>77668935
I'm a chef, so I don't do coke but I have done it. I was much younger.
I actually want to find a way to create a orginization that provides outreach to those in my industry about drug and alcohol abuse. I've lost too many talented friends way too young because of dangerous lifestyle habits. This career kind o encourages those kinds of bad behaviour.
>>77664774
>wealth cannot be created from nothing
sometimes I think economics is very deliberately not taught in government schools
wealth =/= products
wealth =/= resources
wealth is completely abstract, technically the only input is energy (well even more technically exergy)
>>77669081
To make everyone equal under the law.
>>77669189
>This career kind o encourages those kinds of bad behaviour.
yea i've read a few books written by chefs. sounds like everyone working at restaurants drinks a lot.
>>77669198
>energy comes from nothing
Again, science. Learn it.
>>77668539
I support less taxes on everyone
It's easy to say "They have so much money. Why do they need 10 billion dollars?" But actually think about where money comes from
Well they've earned those 10 billion dollars by making 10 billion dollars of wealth. Without them, there would be no 10 billion dollars to speak of. In fact, in most cases they've made an excess of what they have. They had to hire people and pay massive amounts of money in which they kept a slither of the money.
Every single dollar they have was traded, with free will, to them. In so there is no moral corruption going on.
tl;dr: they have $10 billion dollars worth of wealth because they made $100 billion dollars worth of goods or services that people willingly gave them money for, in which they've spent $90 billion dollars worth of workers and other goods
Lowering taxes on them will help them generate even more wealth which will benefit me because I'd live in a even more prosperous nation.
That said I'd support much higher tariffs
>>77664774
"Wealth" is subjective bro.
110% subjective.
I would buy this item for 40$. You'd buy it it for 50$ and he'd buy it for 30$.
The dude made it for 20$. How much is the item worth?
Don't forget the classic saying "Everything is worth what it's purchaser will pay for it."
>>77668677
that's a mummified abbo m8
>>77663678
The poor have to do drug tests on demand by employers, I think it's entirely fitting the ultra rich should do the same
>>77669810
but what about things like insurance comanies where it is federally mandated for you to purchase their product?
>>77669389
thats why I specifically used the term exergy, the energy isn't coming or going anywhere only changing form
exergy is "created" by intelligently using thermodynamics to create local decreases in entropy and then we can expend that exergy to order the universe in a way that is economically demanded by humans
the amount of total exergy that can be created and expended by humans generating wealth before we run into the heat death of the universe is so staggering that its infinite for all intents and purposes
>he posted a smug anime face, how can I ever recover?
>>77663678
Good. Everyone should be tested for drugs.
>>77664774
No it's created from raw resources.
Most of which are near valueless compared to the finished product.
>>77670591
>government should arbitrarily decide who is a criminal
fuck you globalist fascist.
>>77669810
I might have bought that argument fifty or a hundred years ago, but it absolutely does not apply in the digital age
>>77668325
This is the correct answer.
>people getting paid money by the government (welfare)
is equivalent to
>getting to keep your own money
this is the fundamental flaw of liberalism. they think the money belongs to them/the government FIRST.
>>77670491
>the amount of total exergy that can be created and expended by humans generating wealth before we run into the heat death of the universe is so staggering that its infinite for all intents and purposes

Give an example? Because even Google has people that willingly give them money. Primarily from ads, but still.
>>77663678
I'm 100% okay with this as long as welfare recipients also get drug tested monthly.
>>77671963
No just the macaulays
>>77663678
Yeah sure as long as we can drug test people on welfare. These fucking leftists think a company is fucking STEALING by handing over as little money as possible to the IRS who has a gun in your face.
>>77671985
No, everyone.
>>77664618
It really doesnt sound good in theory it sounds terrible. Its fucking ridiculous for a person to have their privacy invaded for a tax break, most of which are given to spur economic growth. This would be a huge invasion of privacy, and also bad for the economy, plus a huge fucking waste of government resources. Most of the 1% is small business owners anyways.
>>77664774
Wrong. Wealth can be created and is created in every voluntary transaction. If wealth couldnt be created we would be stuck in the stone age redistributing whatever natural resources forever.
