This is literally from whitehouse.gov, I can't belive this is an official post from the executive branch. I feel like it needs to be shared for posterity. (infosec.pub)

But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.

taxes are theft, ~~the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.~~ and it's much easier to steal from poor and/or uneducated people.

Fixed it for you.

I'm not a conservative. Just in case it wasn't clear. I believe taxes are a bandaid, a stop gap that let's the rich get away with too much, when we should instead seize the means of wealth generation.

Sorry if there was any confusion. I meant for my post to be clarifying and entertaining.

I didn't not intend to accuse you of support or dissent of anything.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No problem, communication online can sometimes be confusing.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

True, and very sad when you consider that there is ample time and space to clarify, apologize, edit, or just walk away in the case of a miscommunication. We weren't on the same page, and a little chat took care of that.

but of course; the poor are not.

The only right they understand is might. Like a pinata it only trickles down after beating it with a stick.

I would argue they don't understand it, they just need to respond to it. they would be better at war if they did. they are beyond 'understanding'.
