Don't take it personally. You can't blame some guy on the internet for misunderstanding a situation and making a silly over-generalized claim about something he hasn't looked into.

Yes I understand. Getting personal is not a good way to argue though since you give the opposition more to attack you on.
Dude, my dad's a physician. He doesn't run his own business, he doesn't have a good understanding about tax laws and he's self-employed (so he pays double the FICA tax necessary for a normal person). Though he's self-employed, he's hired out by hospitals on a 'per diem' basis. He doesn't look for loopholes because he has just a tad bit of integrity, which is more than most people in society today.
Seriously, dude, fuck you for saying that 'all rich people steal'. My dad had fucking nothing when he got out of med school. He had to get a loan from my grandfather (his dad) just to make ends meet (and he eventually paid him back). My dad saved enough money to put three kids through parochial elementary school, catholic high school AND private universities. I admire my dad for the work ethic he has. I admire him as a person, a doctor, a father and a friend. For you to say that he 'cheated' his way to the success he's had just shows how jealous you are of people with more money than you.
Even if he did own a small business, what does he have to gain by using these 'loopholes'? They do exist because of how fucking dense the tax code is (which should be revised, btw), but that doesn't mean that EVERY single business owner utilizes these loopholes. You might have a case for large corporations and I would agree with you to an extent, but I HIGHLY doubt my boss utilizes these tax loopholes. We could go into the legality of these loopholes, but I'm not going to right now.
Please do some research before making sweeping generalizations like this ever again.
Fucking christ, what ever happened to good, honest, hard work? You don't have to own a business to be wealthy.
No you don't have to own one but you are more likely to become wealthy through your own business then you are going up a corporate ladder
It's kind of funny now that everyone is calling each other "the new Dave" ever since Dave was banned
Though, some people remain poor just to leech off of the government
The first part and it's relevance is to him saying he would be honest if his dad turned out to be what I claim some rich people are. I don't think he would be do to his love for his dad etc.What the fuck is the relevance of the first part of your post? Your hypothetical situation doesn't further your point(s) at all.
I didn't back down. Just revised it since no one can read between the lines to see I don't mean ALL rich people. As for his generalization well he did say they do remain poor on purpose but he did say only SOME. I didn't feel like going through countless more pages of this thread to find other quotes. That one is fine.Also LOL at you backing down from your ridiculous generalization. AND in addition to that you call him out on a generalization he didn't even make? You, sir, are a silly silly person.
Yah you did say they do it on purpose though you didn't say ALL do, just SOME.Did I really say that poor people keep themselves poor on purpose?
I think I said something along the lines that some poor people become complacent with their current situation, which isn't out of the realm of believability.
