Incredible 'Business-Man' Has Salary Of 10 Regular Men
CHICAGO—Sources in the Chicago metropolitan area confirmed Monday the existence of an extraordinary "business-man" imbued with the earning power and fiscal strength of 10 ordinary men. This invincible, superhuman associate is reportedly able to leap from assistant manager to vice president of operations in a single bound, and is believed to have a secret headquarters somewhere deep within the suburbs, where by night he assumes the identity of a mild-mannered family man. Sources claim the man draws his power from a special hand-tailored Italian suit that strikes fear into the hearts of rival equity firms everywhere. The only challenge to the business-man's dominance is reportedly his arch-nemesis, "the business-woman," whom he has kept trapped beneath a protective glass ceiling since 1973

In which case he will be paying the taxes of 50 ordinary men. How much do you pay?

Then I guess you are copping to not paying your fair share? Next time you see a successful person in the street offer them oral sex. They will probably turn you down but it's the gesture that matters.

Why would I do that? I pay my taxes based off what I earned. I worked at a school for a year doing research and got paid appropriately for that. The successful businessman presumably gets paid and pays his taxes appropriate to him. Is your definition of 'fair share' a specific constant? My definition is decidedly non-linear, well the linearity could be debated though I'm not a fan of pro-linearity.

Palin has called herself "as pro-life as any candidate can be" and has called abortion an "atrocity
She probably said "I am as pro-life as any candidate can be.", and "Abortion is an atrocity.", so she wasn't referring to herself in the third person.
and yet that little quote refers to her in the 3rd person, regardless of the fact, it still doesnt show where she's said she'd do anything to ban abortions, gay marriage or jail drug users, in fact she's vetoed bills that went against her own beliefs, what's so hard to understand, she votes for the rights of the people regardless of her own convictions

I learned everything that I know about her from the news and Wikipedia, I really have no other sources. What sources do you have that show that she wouldn't lock up drug users? Isn't she socially conservative?
I cant show you what she didnt say, only what she has said and done, I have pointed it out in your little wiki quote, the proof is on you to show where she's made these claims and that it wasnt the media or some homo that edits wiki pages, it should be apparent to anyone old enough to read that the media cant be trusted as reliable, if it were, the National Enquirer would be the best source out there

> You mean you dont have sympathy for a man who earns what 20 people earn? Shocking.
What is this "what 20 people earn" BS? Should we fault medical doctors that are responsible for people's lives, that spent eight years in college, because they make more than 20 high school dropouts flipping burgers at McDonald's? I have no sympathy at all for the dropout losers that are whining because flipping burgers doesn't pay very much. I have a lot of sympathy for the successful business person that is punished by the taxman for doing well in order to support the loser dropouts that think they deserve more.
Edit: apologies for going off topic

Your logic fails in regard to the fact that our economy needs tons of uneducated people to do all of our construction and flipping burger jobs. Sure you can tell everyone that they could have gone to college, ultimately we still need a ton of people to not get medical degrees. So it is disingenuous to imply that everyone could be wealthy. I have no problem with wealthy people, in fact I hope to become one at a later day in my life. However I understand that people need to be poor and so I have no problem paying more taxes on my part and foregoing that extra Pioneer 60 inch HDTV, instead enjoying the 2 I could safely afford.

I went to college. I work in construction. I make money. Nobody needs to be poor. Poor is mostly a choice. 1% of the people pay 40% of the taxes.

what about the educated people doing the burger flipping and construction, my pops had a Bachelors in engineering from Auburn, he did plumbing and was a millwright, I worked with a guy that had a doctorate in psychology at a waffle house

I have an understanding that if poor people work, they'll have more than they had, of those that are working, I have no issues with aiding in the supplementing of their income but I certainly dont see the need to pay people not to work, let the bastards die out already so they no longer burden society, at least those that are working are making some kind of effort
and if you want to pay people to not work, that's your prerogative, I shouldnt be forced to do so though

Somehow I doubt you are the guy digging ditches. So you think that the workers at convenience stores can make huge sums of money? How do you plan on a functioning economy where everyone is well off?

Shit I'm in the same boat. I have a masters degree in the sciences yet can't find work anywhere. I'm thinking of going back to school to get my PhD or law school (though I shudder at that).

That is agreeable to me. However there are times when people get fired and I do think its our responsibility to help them out for a period of time. Do I think there are huge problems with the welfare system in our country? Absolutely.
