DR You don't pay attention to us socialists, the 99%ers are not productive, its their workers and engineers that keep them up in the 1% catagory. Then they have the best lawyers and legislators that money can buy. Got it? Comrade B In a message dated 5/19/2014 12:10:42 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, n1ea@xxxxxxxx writes: Make a deal with them. Have the 99% be as productive as the 1%. Comrade, how much would be gained by the 1% paying the same tax rate? It would be easier to do if we abolished graduated income tax and deductions for personal income. I heard that 2% Federal personal income tax flat tax with no deductions or exemptions and zero corporate taxes would increase the government treasury. Everyone pays. Even the 50% who pay nothing now.

Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N. agencies who are meeting in Rome this week. Latin America's first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices of capitalism and the global economic system that excludes so much of humanity. On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a "worldwide ethical mobilization" of solidarity with the poor in a new spirit of generosity. He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through "the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private sector and civil society." Francis had a similar message to the World Economic Forum in January and in h is apostolic exhortation "The Joy of the Gospel." That document, which denounced trickle-down economic theories as unproven and naive, provoked criticism in the U.S. that he was Marxist. Francis has denied he's Marxist, and spent years in Argentina battling Marxist excesses of liberation theology. But he has said from the outset that he wants a church that "is poor and for the poor" and ministers to the most marginal of society. On Friday, he urged the U.N. to promote development goals that attack the root causes of poverty and hunger, protect the environment and ensure "dignified" labor for all. "Specifically, this involves challenging all forms of injustices and resisting the economy of exclusion, the throwaway culture and the culture of death which nowadays sadly risk becoming passively accepted," he said. ____________________________________________________________ _Fast, Secure, NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband.
