How about spoken like I've got lots of successful experience in business management. But then again, you're only ability to debate with me is to attack me in some form or another, since you can't make a factual argument that holds up.
And to your PS, It was a response to the typical statement you made a few posts up, and pointing out to others where your sentiment comes from.

quiet warren buffet, why can't you understand that you shouldn't work and strive to be in that upper 1%. you should just work on being in the lower 99% and making that upper 1% pay your way.

Despite your desire to vilify all filthy rich people, Warren Buffet is not on Quiklilcav's side. Despite being the world's richest man, he has publicly stated that the rich are NOT overtaxed and if anything the opposite is true. He has even made a challenge to any CEO in America - that if they can prove they pay a higher tax rate than their own secretary, then he will give them $1,000,000 free and clear(and IIRC he was even going to pay the tax on that $1.000,000). So far, no takers...

Funny that you claim I write as if I haven't been around. Remember, buddy, I've been around considerably longer than you have. You've read about some things I remember, so that argument, if you can call it such, holds no water. I've also asked you before what experience you have that makes you more knowledgable on economics, and given you reasons why I might better understand these things, and that's usually when you duck completely out of a thread.
If you feel like debating a concept in my post, and can do so with an ounce of intelligence, have at it. Otherwise, you're simply wasting space in these threads with your feeble mud slinging and name calling.

Depends on which rich right? Poor, middle, rich could have either side of good or evil, no?
Warren Buffet I would consider as stalwart in business thinking and actions, hence his position today.
But if you took my quote comparing to Quikie's (in thought) you sir were miss guided by my total quote. Happens to often by the lack of reading on the JBO.
Faux/fake Warren Buffet was to describe Quickies expansive Billions in his bank account as when he speaks its as if Billions is being threatened by high tax rate; as if we were living in the era when this country was at it's best.

I did not miss the point of what you did say - you where trying to characterize Quiklilcav as a person who "thinks" he is a Multi-Billionaire whom is trying to "protect his earnings" from "oppressive taxation" in which you tried to use Warren Buffet as an example - and I pointed out that Warren Buffet does not fit that mold thus is not a proper example of what you are trying to say.
Now when you just now said - "But if you took my quote comparing to Quikie's (in thought)" - I find that interesting to assume I'd do that based off of your own earlier post which I replied. In that post, you neither quoted Quiklilcav's post/point of view/anything nor did you attempt to refute one single point of his during that. In fact, there was no substance at all in that post. It was a post essentially dedicated to belittling him(and yes I'm aware through experience that he isn't afraid to do the same). So you tell me what I would compare(in thought) when there was seemingly no thought put into it? At the very least - no thought was expressed in what you actually wrote.
If you intended that to come out different, might I humbly suggest that you use the preview button before each post, read exactly what you wrote, determine if that will convey that you are trying to say to someone else (who doesn't read your own thoughts), and revise as necessary. I'll admit that I've averted many foolish sounding and/or unnecessary posts just by READING what I wrote BEFORE posting it for others to read. Sometimes I revise, sometimes I opt to post nothing at all until later - when I've better collected my thoughts and/or when emotion will not cloud my message. You might consider doing the same.

I'd like to point out to you the significant difference here. I actually post plenty of pertinent information to a thread (look at the post I made which started him up this time), and it very often gets an idiotic snide remark from Goodwrench, which contains name calling almost without fail. I have not resorted to name calling, but I will point out the inadequecies of his posts, because his answer to almost all of mine has been to ignore the substance and go after me in his weak attempts to discredit. When I called you childish, as you refer to, was in response to a post you had made in another thread, where you resorted to a similar tactic. For the most part, I find that you offer decent arguments, and I am happy to debate that for what it is. However, when anyone resorts to foolishness of personal insults, I will not hesitate to at least throw a dig at them.

Quiklilcav wrote:Jason, did you even read my original post on page 4? It wasn't even addressed to Goodwrench.
Toward the end I simply mentioned his argument and why it is easily believed. It wasn't an attack, it was a point on topic.
Quiklilcav wrote:Weeble, the thing is that it's not that the rich or businesses should be getting money, but the government needs to give them the incentive that when they invest, their money won't be taken away in 5 different ways until they barely keep any of it.
There is a simple point about lowering business taxes, higher income bracket rates, and particularly capital gains taxes, that the opposition misses, or simply doesn't believe will happen: the people who have the ability to invest heavily in anything will only do so when they see that the risk is worth the payoff. Right now, the government is giving them every indication that they will be vilified, and taxed through the roof, if they succeed. No wonder none of them are! This has the effect of halting growth everywhere. When the government backs off the taxes, and shows that they are willing to get out of the way, the people who have been sitting on their money will do something with it.
Here's a quick and simple description of how the process works. There is a good reason why anti-trickle down people either don't understand it, or can convince others of it's failure: it's not a quick and direct cause-effect scenario. There are multiple steps along the way, beginning with real investment:
1. Taxes get lowered on higher brackets, capital gains, and business operations
2. People and businesses with money begin to make investments for growth. A good portion of this is in real property, such as building a new strip mall, or purchasing an old one and rebuilding it, or maybe apartment buildings.
3. These all require hiring of companies in the construction industries.
4. Those construction industries give their employees more hours, and/or hire additional employees.
5. They also will most likely be investing in new equipment and expanding their business.
6. Now, both the businesses purchasing new equipment, and the employees getting more hours, or new employees getting hired, starts the spending in the retail world.
7. With retail sales starting to increase, stores begin increasing payroll (more hours and/or more employees), and manufacturing begins to increase due to the increase in demand for products (leading to increase in payroll at this level as well).
8. Because of the increase in goods being purchased, the transportation industry also increases, leading to increased payroll and equipment purchasing there.
At every point along the way, the increases in payroll turns into more money in the private sector which can be spent, and it's all in the lower to middle class. This does not happen overnight, but it's a recipe for real growth because it offers the incentive for investing in growth. This is why it's sustainable long-term, where tax and spend is not. It is also why when we followed this plan, we saw the longest and steepest increase in employment in the last century.
However, if you understand this, you can easily see why it can be misconstrued.
Also, people continue to claim that the people with money won't spend it like the middle and lower class will, as part of the class envy game, but the reality is that people with money will put it where they can grow it the best. When the cost of business increases, it becomes more attractive to make mostly passive investments, like the stock market or commodities markets, because the risk/reward ratio is too low in business. When the cost of business gets lowered, that ratio becomes more attractive, and people will begin investing in projects, or start up businesses. This is the type of spending that will really wake up the economy, not simply throwing a little bit of money at the middle class expecting that this will increase consumer spending enough to make a difference. Consumer spending alone will never move the economy enough to turn it around. It has to come from larger sources, and it has to come from the private sector. As long as the government continues to take from the upper level of the private sector, and dole it out to the lower levels, it will never have the turn around effect. I just don't see why people can't grasp this, especially since Bush tried it twice in the last 8 years, and it failed both times. However, when taxes were lowered, we saw steady growth.
