Don't tell me that the government shouldn't redistribute rich people's wealth...My great uncle, Joe Louis, was once the richest black man in America.
Although he was much too generous with his money and he made several bad business deals, it was a witch hunt by the IRS, backed up with some of the highest marginal tax rates in this country's history, that did him in.
So wingers, teabaggers, fiscal conservatives, anti-socialists and generally greedy assholes, DON'T TELL ME that the rich shouldn't have to pay their fair share after all these years. The rich have been living far too high off the fat of the land for far too much and for far too long... And all of us have paid for it.

His family lost their sugardaddy because of high taxes on the rich(Lewis admitted that he overlooked the new tax laws). Yet somehow, he interprets that to mean we need higher taxes.

4. I don't think the government should redistribute income through income taxes...We shouldn't have to tax high income earners because they shouldn't be making high incomes in the first place. :thatsright:

Whoa, wait a second here....Mr. Dorkio is claiming that Joe Louis is his great uncle? :bs:

Yeah I saw that too. In all the years I've seen him slithering through the DU lounge that's the first I've heard him mention that.

That post makes no sense at all. Hence the topic title I imagine.

Uh, Joe Louis made bad business decisions? If I'm not mistaken, he spent his money like water, would walk down the street handing out $20 bills, invested in every hair-brained scheme that came down the pike, gambled like he was a Rockefeller and could never run out of money, was in bed with the Mob on occasion, let complete idiots manage his interests, AND didn't bother to pay his taxes.
WOW! Wonder why the IRS might be interested in where his money went?

So what exactly is this idiot arguing about anyways?

Apparently the brain power of Joe Louis resulted from a dominant gene in that family.

13. Sorry, but what does Joe Louis being your uncle have to do with the stated topic?

19. A comparison of marginal tax rates
They soaked him in his day, but in our day the rich are getting off scot free.
The funny thing is that the economy grew like gangbusters when those rates were so high.
The rates are incidentals... The IRS could have made some deals for payment of back taxes... Instead, they went on a witch hunt.
These are two different stories, I admit.
BTW-
Mobster Frank Lucas once paid off a $50,000 tax lien held against him. These payments – along with an eventual agreement in the early 1960s by the IRS to limit its collections to an amount based on Louis's current income– allowed Louis to live comfortably toward the end of his life. (Wiki)
And this dimwit claims he worked for the Pentagon? A janitor maybe.

It just goes to illustrate that great DUmmie proverb, "Two wrongs don't make a right, unless I say they do."

"DUmmie logic"....

Don't tell me that the government shouldn't redistribute rich people's wealth... DON'T TELL ME that the rich shouldn't have to pay their fair share after all these years. I know that that "cut the tax", supply sider bullshit is nothing more than that...
OK, we won't tell you. The gov't has no business redistributing wealth, but you're a DUmmie and the truth is something of which you can't handle. So your wish of staying permanently stupid and not having to hear about why you're an absolute worthless idiot is granted.
