Edward-M: Don't twist people's words & call them Marxists, George. I said nothing of the sort.
George1st: If someone wants to confiscate someone else’s property, they are either Marxists, Crooks, or Cooks. Which are you?
I never proposed confiscating anyone's property. Please show me where I said that. Calling everyone you disagree with a Marxist, with no evidence, is exactly what Limbaugh does.
Second, if you're correct then our founding fathers must be Marxists - they supported various taxes & tariffs:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States"
-- The constitution
Edward-M: “George, do you actually expect the media to ignore a story about dead people making billions of dollars in interest over hundreds of years?”
George1st: Which dead people are making billions of Dollars? And where? From where you pulled the number “hundreds of years”? Are the "cryo-crooks" stealing the money from widows and orphans, or is it something they own? As for the media, the story is that there is no story. End of story. End of paranoia.
Obviously I was talking about the future - I meant if you got your way then you could make billions while you were dead. It would be a completely unnatural profit scheme that would embarrass cryonics & hurt us all. You may not want to admit it, but that is news.
But more importantly, it has zero chance of working yet a %100 chance of embarrassing cryonics & causing regulations.
Edward-M: “And don't you see how that would make us all look like crooks?"
George1st: Crooks? People who are saving their own hard-earned money? No, I do not see any crooks. I only see honest people who are preserving their own capital. In a free, democratic society that abides by laws that is neither criminal, nor crooked."
Again I never said anything about taking away people's money by force. (like our "Marxist" founding fathers did.) All I said was the reality of politics is that wealth taxes will probably come soon, afterall we tend to do what Europe does a few years later.
And why are these taxes so popular? Because these days billions are being made by people sitting on their bums through hedge funds & the economy reeks of corruption.
Edward-M: “George, I hope you grow up"
George1st: Insult wins you no argument (not that you presented any).
Wait a second here George! You called me a marxist communist when I said nothing of the sort. Then you accused me of wanting to confiscate your money when I said nothing of the sort. You do need to grow up.
Edward-M: And last, are you sure that quote you used is even real? It even sounds made up.”
George1st: Yes, It is as real as it gets. I have read Vladimir Ilyich.
Again, I did a google search for your quote & got nothing - not one webpage. So do you have a source or not? Frankly it sounds like a mistranslation at best.
