How Taxes Work

[Rockntractor]

Hold on there AD, what is not accurate about the original analogy? How does it misrepresent anything?

Our lib friends don't much care fore this analogy, do they!:D

They NEVER like the truth.

Leave it to a Fox Limbaugh "conservative" to consider a fantasy construct, reality.

The story was constructed to help the mentally challenged liberals understand a simple reality. The liberals like you don't like the damning facts so you and your fantasy dwelling friends change the facts to muddy the waters. Being a liberal must really suck. That must be why so many of you are always angry and unhappy.

Since the restaurant represents the government, with its provisions of goods and services, it is likely that the guys who paid the least ate the most. However, it's more likely that they all ate the same meal, which would have been divided equally in terms of cost. Thus, everyone got the same meal, at the same cost.

The net worth of the people is not relevant. The largest payer didn't consume a $73 dinner, and the least didn't order just a soda. They all consumed the same level of service.

Wow. This is completely based on the projections of your class warfare fantasies, but has nothing to do with the analogy.

OTOH, it does provide some insights into your psychological issues.

Get help. Seriously.


Except that the "fantasy construct" is an excellent analogy. Wei's addition of his emotional baggage doesn't change it.

You do realize that a Lexus and Mercedes wear out the roads faster than a Prius and Volt don't you?

Of course they do. They get driven far more often because you don't have to wind them up after every hundred miles. Duh. :D

Actually, the battery in the Volt is only good enough for 35 miles.
