The money I was paid is what I agreed to when I took the job. It was satisfactory to me. The second I feel undervalued I start shopping around.Bob Owens said:Well I have to assume that you performed a service for the money he 'gave " you. More than likely the money he gave you was less than the money he made from the service you provided. If not and your labor added less value than then you where paid then have cause to be grateful. I don't feel that way about the service and skills I provide.
That is the difference between you and I. I decide what I am worth whereas the TWU decides what you are worth.
Warren Buffet makes his money through dividends and capital gains at a 15 percent tax rate.Bob Owens said:I can tell you that most Drug dealers consider themselves to be Capiltalists. I guess you figure that Warren Buffett is a Communist as well because he has commented on how there is an us vs them;
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”― Warren Buffett
This is money that was already taxed then invested.
So Warren Buffet pays taxes twice then still has to figure out a way to make a profit.
When you pay taxes twice on your money let me know.
Wealthy people typically don't keep a lot of cash. It's not like they have a billion dollars sitting in checking accounts. They typically invest it. I rather that money go toward business and growing the economy than to the bloated government.Bob Owens said:Ok, without the tax breaks tell me what would the Rich do with the money they don't spend? To say that people would would not continue to put money to work making money unless they paid less taxes than those who make money with their labor is absurd, it's a fallacy promoted by the wealthy and repeated so often that many, such as yourself came to believe it. This fallacy is a twist on something that is true, Tax incentives were a way to promote targeted investments, investments in things that would not otherwise attract investment because more money could be made elsewhere, such as savings bonds, not the whole concept of investment. People will invest regardless of the tax breaks and they did so before many of todays breaks were put in place. Like I said if they have billions, even millions in disposable Capital, if not invest it, what else would they do with it?
Apparently this is what you think rich people do with their money

Absurd.
Show me where I said that.Bob Owens said:Obviously you are, you are OK with taking it away from people who work for the Government.
No. No. No.Bob Owens said:You got the refund of the Prefunding match? Did you buy the Supplemental medical? If so did you get any refund of those Premium?
Well I guess it's just not happening then is it Bob..............Bob Owens said:Sounds like an issue with the way the company is managed to me. Just like wages, Unions can only enforce what they negotiate and nowhere in any contract at AA have I seen language that protects people playing Dominos while others work all day.
What does that have to do with anything.Bob Owens said:Thats the nature of the industry we chose, its no different at Delta which is Non-union. They are just as trapped as we are.
I said the INDUSTRY being so UNONIzed locks you into your employer unless you want to start as a day one employee (as far as schedule and days off). Them being the odd man out does not remove them from that situation. If they seek employment at another airline they would still be subjected to the seniority ladder.
Are the cheats that abuse it not enough?Bob Owens said:Calling this question "stupid" is infantile. Its a legitimate question, you said we have too many entitlements, well, how about some substance and not generalized proclaimations? What , other than Welfare, and the cheats that abuse it offends you?
Fine I will provide more.
There are 3 issues I have with welfare
1. No oversight
2. No expectations on the recipient
3. The government rewards stupid self destructive behavior
