  But that is the fault of the politicians and the system that allows that to happen, not the person paying into SS which, when used properly is not a problem at all.

  "...while larger corporations would pay more taxes for the opposite reason."
  
  They don't pay now, why would they pay more? The money you think you are going to tax will be spent on upper management salaries and bonuses even more than they are now just as a way of avoiding the tax.

  So all the money I've paid into SS should not be given back to me later?

  That's because "oob" doesn't have any substance, so thinks to nag me. It's all he can manage, so applaud his "special" talent.
  
  Look, guys, just contradicting me manifestly isn't effective. IF you have some view, THEN STATE IT.

  Stocks are pretty liquid, I'm sure if I had $50M in stock options I could figure out a way to be set for life! Especially since that's on top of his $30M+ compensation.
  
  Let's try to be honest - $50M is $50M, and $50M on top of $30M should not leave the rest of the staff crying about losing their jobs.
  
  Just saying, when the money gets obscene, you have long gone past the problem.

  Three little pigs rocks! I have the Green Jello Cereal Killer CD but I found out they later changed their name to Green Jelly, because you know when the CD goes into the player you might accidentally grab a spoon or something, wtf?!

  on Old Fashioned 'Pirates' Steal 6,000 Copies Of The New Call Of Duty Game
  And this is why I don't think I'll ever technically pirate anything:
  
  "to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully"
  
  No matter how I obtain it - I'm ALWAYS willing to give it back when I'm done!
  
  It's really too bad that when I pay for it I can't actually return the software if it doesn't fulfill my needs, something doesn't seem quite right about that. Almost anything else I buy allows a return for refund.

  "I chose a traffic ticket to show that we frequently let a single person, a cop in this case, make a quick decision about someone's guilt."
  
  Holy crap could you miss the point by less than a mile?
  
  The officer makes no such decision about guilt whatsoever, in fact, he doesn't even possess that power!
  
  Hell, even the bottom of the ticket where you sign says that you are not admitting guilt.
  
  You suck even at trolling, WTF!

  Citation beats speculation.
  
  Care to back up your statement or withdraw it?
  
  I'd be willing to bet my life that the % of infringing files on YouTube is less than the % of Viacoms withdrawn files from its lawsuit.

  Don't confuse him with facts - he has an agenda to carry out - regardless of facts!

  Re: No, no, Mike. It's a clever ploy to get /more/ people to "infringe".

  "And if everyone took my advice and used Noscript and a hosts file, Google itself would soon be in difficulties. -- But tacitly you rely on someone else making the product, and leveraging off of it."
  
  So, you DO support piracy?! You take the content and use it freely while denying the content producer his income by blocking the ads that pay money for views on his website.
  
  Glad we finally cleared that up, welcome to the Freetards.
