That is horseshit.
You know the answer won't be one you like so you are taking the coward's stance.
There is literally no way you can tell me we have no idea who benefits more from say roads between Bezos and Joe Middleclass. How do you fucking sleep at night being that intellectually dishonest?

I've already explained to you that this was not the case. Why are you going back to repeat a mistake?
I said you were objectively wrong because your argument presumed its conclusion as one of its base premises.
I continued to say I also rejected that premise as it was a baseless statement of opinion which I rejected.
You in fact do not pay capital gains in the US when selling a home up to a certain amount. There’s a carve out that you can use once per 2 years if you’ve lived at that address for at least 2 of the last 5 years and at least the past year.
Besides property taxes are related to the infrastructure and education provided by the state at that address. Can’t immediately think of what exactly the state is providing for my brokerage account.
Come to think of it though I agree with you, capital gains taxes should be abolished in favor of an annualized tax on appreciation. I’d be down with that.
I don’t feel particularly exploited, do you? If so why?Oh noes, socialism.
Scary, people might actually enjoy civil liberty and an economy that exists to support them, not exploit them.
You can easily google data and research on just Walmart and how they benefit from welfare. This has been done for 20 years and you know it. Stop being a tool.
Company X pays worker 10 dollars.
Worker gets 5 dollars in welfare.
Company x pays 0 tax. Did not have to help pay for welfare.
Company x gets away with not having to pay a fair wage up to the welfare limits because welfare covers the difference that stops people from starving or being homeless (or at least some of it)
Taxpayers have to pay for the welfare.
Billionaire X avoids tax does not have to help pay for welfare.
Company X sees increased profits from low labor cost.
Company x sees increased profits from people spending welfare at their company they didn't help pay for.
Billionaire/company X sees value of stock increase because his company does not have to pay taxes and benefits from welfare dollars without cost.
Billionaire X does not pay taxes, thus his investments and wealth continue to grow at a faster pace then taxpayers because he never has a decrease in the amount because of taxes.
etc etc etc.
so who benefitted more from welfare?
As for corporate subsidies and tax breaks, for a company that pays low to zero taxes, fully funded by taxpayers....i mean isn't its self explanatory who benefited more? Do you really need it spelled out?
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

And you're mixing up two separate points in doing so. As I have now explained for the third time.
The objective failure of your argument was in how it begged the question, which had nothing to do with my opinions regarding said premise that you were begging.
Edit: Maybe an example would help. If you argued "Everyone loves to each zucchini because of how much everyone loves eating zucchini", that fails because it begs the question; the conclusion and the one premise cited are the same.
That I personally dislike zucchini and thus present an exception to that premise, that's a completely separate issue to the objective failures of the original statement.

I'd just like to point out the irony that my last infraction not even a week ago was about me calling people commie shills. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to report you just to make a point. Hope that doesn't bother you, but this mod team needs to demonstrate their impartiality to me now. :P

There's that word again, I'm enjoying this.

Once again, this is your guys' narrative, so let's see some actual quantifiable evidence.
Considering how much they pay in taxes, I look forward to you providing it.

Then libertarian ideals are just an thought experiment and you really are just a old fashioned conservative. There will be very little argument about wanting government to be agile and efficient. As such these tax policies are ludicrous although these assets are not cashed in they can still be borrowed against tax free and interest free because these guys own banks.
Even if they are charged interest it is 3% or less basically a joke compared to what they should pay.
