sheesh. I'm getting sick of explaining to people why when they complain about how X% of people pay Z% of taxes that they are conflating two different things, and that the same x% of people also OWN a similar-to-Z% of wealth. I'm also tired of explaining that the rich/businesses DO in fact use our infrastructure and social services more than the poor, although not as directly.

Also, I've decided that when they say "we'll just agree to disagree" that it means "you totally schooled me in this argument, but I can't admit it/I did not really read/understand your post."

1. I know it.

It's a way to make selfishness and callousness sound somehow enlightened and noble, at least to the uneducated.

2. right

and he keeps going on about 'redistribution of wealth', 'fairness' and how taxes are 'confiscation' of his property (and of course given to those lucky poor people).
