So, tell us about your investments. Do you claim more income from the unearned or the earned side these days? I assume, you are living off a combination of social security income and investment/retirement income, or living off unearned income as you seem to view it, like most people your age these days.(09-07-2018, 06:17 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(09-07-2018, 04:33 PM)David Horn Wrote: You aren't a capitalist either, just a small businessman working hard to make a life. Capitalists employ their money, not their skills and efforts. That said, you may not have socialist tendencies either … or you may. For example, do you favor a privatized police force? Military? Any other social service? If so, why?
Don't fool yourself, I'm a capitalist and I've been one for a long time. Do you favor a private force, a non-existent police force or the public funded police force that the capitalist system still provides today.
So. tell us about your investments then. Do you claim more income from the unearned side or the earned side? And let's not play cute. Taxes pay for everything in the public domain Private domain services, if you can call them that, are fee-based, like toll roads. So no, I don't like those options.
