Gents, those ones that are on the right and wearing aluminum hats, I have news for you, if Hillary is elected (almost certainty now, yes we all know it really gets under your skin), we will survive and prosper as a country as we always do. Btw, Trump would not blow up America either, he is just more of a dark horse. He would have been a disrupt-er of certain things, for the better or worse, but we will never find out due to his ego and trail of things he had said and done. Take a deep breath, release your internal venom and enjoy your life
10 friends meet every day to have some drinks. The bill amounts to $ 100 every day. So $10 per person. But our friends decide that the bill will be paid according to the taxes they pay. This gives the following distribution: The first four (the poorest) pay nothing. 5th pays $ 1 6th pays $ 3 7th pays $ 7 8th pays $ 12 The 9th pays $ 18 10th pays $ 59 The ten men continue to meet every day and are very satisfied with the solution. Till the manager one day decides to give a loyalty premium to the group: "Given you are very good customers, I give from today a discount of $ 20 per day. So I will still charge only $ 80 per day " The group decides to divide the $ 80 according to the same standard. So the first 4 still pay nothing. The six others (paying customers) wanted to share the $ 20 into six equal parts. So all six would pay $ 3.33 less. But if they would do this, the 5th man would be paid to drink as he only paid $1 before the reduction. The manager then suggests it would be better to give a% reduction to each of the 6 who still pay. He made the following calculation: 5th man should not pay anymore. (A poor more) 6th pays $ 2 instead of $ 3 (33% reduction) 7th pays $ 5 instead of $ 7 (28% reduction) 8th pays $ 9 instead of $ 12 (25% reduction) The 9th pays $ 14 instead of $ 18 (22% reduction) 10th pays $ 50 instead of $ 59 (16% reduction) This should satisfy everyone he thought. The first four continued to drink for free. There was even an extra free drinker! The five others were paying less than before, so ... who could have objections? But once outside, each of them began to think about their share in the deal. "Not serious, I get just $ 1 from the reduction" number 5 says. Then number 6 says "And I also get just $ 1 of $ 20 reduction, while number 10th will get $ 9". "It is true," said number 7 "Why should he get $ 9, while I get only $ 2. The richest gets most of the reduction. " Then the first 4 say: “we got nothing. This system exploits the poor . " The nine men surrounded the 10th and began a heavy discussion. The next meeting the 10th man was absent. The nine other sat and drank as always, until the moment they had to pay: then they discovered something very interesting. They did not have enough money to pay, not even half of the bill. This, dear friends, is the well-known remark that many make of our tax system: The wealthiest benefit most from a reduction in charges. Charge them even more, accuse them of being rich and they will not show up anymore. They will go for drinks abroad. And drinks for those who remain will be in total 50% more expensive from then on. Number 10 is the capitalist. Numbers 1-9 are socialists.
Sure they do. Since they don't pay taxes they have enough discretionary money to pay, that's the point.
