If you suggested taxing Warren Buffet to the eyeballs whilst he was making all his money then he would have told you to get fucked.

Now that he's all rich and stable he can say whatever bullshit he likes. Same with Bill Gates. Ruthless when making their own money, but once they've got all the money they want they suddenly want taxes to go up for everyone else trying to do the same.

Fuck Warren Buffet and fuck all the other champagne socialists.

And it's never an actual argument in either case. If you're mocking your opponent, then it's an appeal to ridicule. That's not any better, or less fallacious.

aye, but, it's very obvious when this happens ie. they come out with common misconceptions people have about the book that are clearly disproved by reading the books.
And as for Atlas strugged i agree, also, Das Capital was a bad example because of it's length and the fact you don't need to read it to have a clear understanding of Marx's theory.

[Anonymous No.3167792]

>>3167760
>>3167766

Don't forget that the people who support said works have rarely read them either. They follow whatever version has reached them by osmosis.

So in any case, when arguing over an issue, it is better to get a description of the opponents position (assuming they are being honest actors), and then argue that position. Arguing against a communist on the basis of your critique of Das Kapital may not be fruitful, since the opponent may not hold to it 100%, or even at all.

Interestingly, there is a section on the tax form where you can volunteer to pay more. If Warren Buffet wants to pay more, he can.

Also, if him paying low taxes is such a bad thing (per him) why does he *still* employ 3 full-time tax lawyers and 2 full-time accountants just to reduce his tax burden? Maybe you are buying into a PR stunt?
