you've obviously not dealt with the IRS directly, somehow they seem to have it in their heads that any money you make from the sale of stock, real estate or what ever is profit and that profit includes the initial investment, not just any gains. I'm having to refile 10 years of taxes because they believe I owe them $300k in profits from stock sales
BULLSHIT.
I can always see if the IRS will allow me to have a copy of the the recording since I didnt object to being recorded, I had to explain capital gains/loss and profit to the woman, it apparently confused he enough she had to get her supervisor
"well you sold the stock didnt you, well that's profit"

Is it not obvious that if you do not pay for something that the rightful owner will take it back? It says that very clearly in every home mortgage. The proper role of government is not decided by voters. People voted for Hitler and they agreed with him and his views, did this make it correct no. People also voted to put Socrates to death for not agreeing with them about the gods above and for corrupting youth by teaching them to think for themselves and to question things. Once again they made a morally and ethically wrong choice, mob rule does not constitute a proper government.

In order to have a free society you must have defnse to protect you from looters, and you must have police to aprehend criminals whom violate your rights and or property. When someone steals from you, they are not stealing just an item, they are stealing time from your life. No one has a right to make a claim on your life or personal property. When someone assaults you they are violating your right as a human being to exist free of bodily harm. Without police and national defense you are left with mob rule and vigilante justice, neither of which have any place in a free society. What exactly makes police and military "socialist"?
Why is it the government's job to protect anyone? From what? Each other? Themselves? Bees? Where does it end?
Quote:
Yes I do, as a human you have the right to live your life as you see fit, as long as you do not violate the rights of others, for your own wants, needs, and desires. One group of people being held responsible for a larger portion of the tax burden than another group is theft. No one has a right to the life of another. You are promoting slavery by means of taxation when you force another human to give up the monetary compensation he has earned for the benefit of others without his consent. What do you not understand about this?
A government is just a club. If you don't want to pay the dues, you can always just quit and get out of the clubhouse.
Taxes = Theft is a juvenile argument. You act like you just read a flyer on LOLbetarianism and got all excited.
Are you sure you're old enough to be here?

Did you take an EIC this year? What about buying a home and getting $5000-$8000 tax "credit"? Did you get a check back from the government when you filed this year? What about getting a tax "credit" for children? If any of these apply you more than likely have a negative tax rate for the year.
None of your fucking business. 
I paid in several times what I got back.

Capitalism a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned.
So what is wrong with the model of capitalism?

So you're saying a representative democracy does not constitute a proper governement? Are you back on the bottle bro? Sounds like you want a country that: 1) isn't a democracy 2) has no government 3) allows you to do whatever you want to make a dollar
There are plenty of countries in Africa or the middle east that sound perfect for you.

That is incorrect. Taxable income does NOT include the basis, which is your initial investment. One of two things is happening here. Either your "initial investment" was income that you haven't yet paid taxes on (maybe stock options, for example), or you're getting screwed by your lack of tax knowledge.
I'm obviously not getting screwed because my accountant say my tax liability is under $25k, I know the difference between profit and capital, the IRS doesnt acknowledge that while I did have capital gains the bulk of my money was reinvested in places other than stocks and even with stop trades all they looked at were the sales, not the reinvestment and other purchases, both of your hypotheses are incorrect

How does this not make sense, if I came to you and asked you to explain how to grow a mushroom indoors from start to finish without using the words mycelium, mutlispore, substrate, colonization, hypheal knot, primordia, or fruiting chamber, how would you do that? It would be very hard, I came to you for this advice so should you not be able to use the proper terms as you know them for doing so?

You're confusing jealousy with reality. What's someone going to do with 10 billion dollars, or even 500 million dollars, or even 100 million dollars? 100 million dollars would be enough to last your family 100 years without a single decedent ever having to lift a finger. some life.

There is nothing wrong with the MODEL of capitalism. There is plenty wrong when purely capitalistic theory moves out of a book and into a real economy.

If I am not mistaken I said taxes are necessary for a free society, like you said if you want in the club you have to pay. I also stated that it is theft when you make one person pay more than the other for the same goods based solely upon how much they have. If you do not understand the difference between a capitalist and a libertarian you should read up on it.

What is unethical about you going to a store and buying a product? That is how rich people get rich, selling you something you want. Is it unethical to offer you a product that you can or cannot buy of your own volition?

load of bullshit, may be true in some cases but in the majority of cases it untrue
what is bullshit?
1% of the world population controls 99% of the world wealth and i consider having interest rates increase on your mortgage by 2X unethical, even if payments are missed.
I see, so it's all about what you consider, did you consider that no one had to sign a contract that they felt would screw them, by signing they agreed to the terms. it's their choice and they screw themselves
if I buy a property I have the choice of going through a mortgate lender that can hit me with a variable rate or a fixed rate mortgage, I'd choose the fixed rate, I also have the choice of using my bank for the loan and getting a fixed rate, if someoen else believes they need to own that home so badly that they'll sign the contracts without understanding the terms then they have done to themselves what's being done, where's the unethical part on the side of the lender, their goal is to make money, it's your obligation to understand what you're signing
it doesnt matter who has the bulk of the wealth, your money should matter to you so it's your responsibility to handle it wisely

Except many of the times, like somebody else stated, you can read a contract three times over and still not understand all the shit thats in it. Why should you need to hire somebody else and pay more money to understand an overcomplicated contract that is meant to fuck you over if you make a mistake ?

You don't get the concept of "what you're worth". If I'm on a team of 20 at McDonald's, and we sell $2,000 worth of food an hour (which I used to do when I worked at my first job at McDonalds), what am I "worth"? I realize that the business owners get to make a nice profit. But we were making an average of $3.50/hr (the minimum wage at the time was $3.35), which cost McDonald's about $70/hr. We worked our asses off to sell that much food, it was one of the hardest jobs I ever had. If you think we were only worth $3.50/hr, then you're a conservative. McDonalds could have easily paid us $10/hr, and still made a huge profit.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.
