Because poor people is stupid and think they can get rich too with hard work  Roll Eyes

poor gets poorer, rich becomes richer.. Its what the society tells us today. We could not change that. Ever.

The trend was less poor since the industrial revolution; government actions changed that trend and is creating more and more poor with its regulation, tax and subsidiaries given to poor people

I guess the reason so many love the rich and hate the poor is because they feel as a rich person they can give more and people tend to love the people who can give more, especially when it comes to money. The poor never have as much meaning they are not so much use to them. I personally don't favourite either and treat everyone equally because it's not about how wealthy you are it's about who you are.

47% of people in the US do not pay any federal income taxes. This is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to incomes. If you want to talk about people needing to pay their fair share of income taxes then how is it fair that the lazy do not have to pay any taxes while the hardworking and successful need to pay upwards of 1/3 of their income in taxes.

Because they earn so little (or nothing) to begin with. If you took money from them in tax, you'd just end up spending that same money back on them in social programs anyway.

You do take away money from them...in the form of sales tax and other indirect taxes.

Inflation.

Wealth accrued in a free market may only be accrued by pleasing customers as trade is voluntary.

So then the more money you have the more people you have pleased!

Wealthy = lots of money = lots of people pleased = lots of people like you.

Poor? = no money = no people pleased = you suck, up your game.

That's false. Money doesn't automatically make more money. Only money well invested, to please customers while making a profit, will make you richer. Take a look at a Forbes list from 30 years ago, and you'll find that you don't even know the majority of them.

Poor people can win money like anyone else, working and investing properly.

I think you missed what I was putting across. I said nothing about money making money. I am simply equating that someone is wealthy if they have a lot of money (or a high net worth as measured in money).

1) in NYC 5000 people out of 8.4 million pay 50% of all city taxes

2) in California 150,000 pay 50% of state taxes

3) in America the top 1% pay 40% of all federal taxes.

No other country rips off the rich like we do in America but ,sadly, the joke is on us because when you take incentive and capital from your most productive citizens and give to your least productive, ie., liberal bureaucrats and free loaders, everyone suffers in a poor economy whose heart has been cut out.

It works like this: I print 1 billion dollar for myself, hand in 1 million to government as tax, register an income of 2 million dollar, so that I have a tax rate of 50%. And I complain that the tax is too high   Cool

Most of the rich people do not get their income through working, but money printing, directly or indirectly, depends on how close they are to the FED and large commercial banks

you should compare the tax they pay to their income, not to the amount of people paying it.

because their income is WAY higher than the tax they pay.

It's much higher because they produce much more (as long as it's a free market, not a hampered one).

Yeah but its still a joke. Most rich people i've ever meet are fund babbies. You have to be really stupid to fuck it up once you inherit.

Actually, most fund babies lose their money pretty fast. Just because they get the money for free they think its easy..

If they don't invest their money properly, they will lose it. It may take some decades, or even some generations, but they will lose it in the end if they don't invest it well.
