Clarification and Response

Apparently, there have been some misconceptions about my previous post. When I mention equal taxes, we must realize that equal taxes merely means an equal percentage tax. America's tax system is tiered, which means that if A earns more than $175,000, A pays 33% income tax, while B, who earns $82,400, pays only 25%. This is, of course, assuming that A and B are both single. If we look even further down the line, the people who earn $30,000 pay only 15%. Of course, because the taxes paid in the highest bracket is seperate from the others (JUST LIKE YOUR WATER BILL) the true tax percentage for all is slightly lower. However, this does not change the fact that the person who earns $100,000 is paying more taxes, and at a higher percentage, than a person who earns only $50,000.

Look. The whole point of this post - equal taxes means equal percentage. Using your math equation, A is the guy who has a million dollars and B is the guy who has 50,000. Assuming an equal tax of 20%, A would have .8(1000000) and B .8(50,000) after a year. After ten years, .8^10*A and the same for B. The point is, nobody's going onto the street faster than the other guy. They'll both hit a point where they've got no money at a similar time, B a little faster, but that just more incentive for him to get off his lazy ass and start working.

Your random Indian thing - that's why Guism is better.

As for your China stuff, since you're saying A -> B -> C -> D and I just disproved A; B, C, and D, are also disproved.

I would write more, but I've got another stomachache. Fricking Carnival and wanting to earn money from bottled water. At least give me clean tap water.-_-

The Virtues of Capitalism and Being a Republican

If you're a true Guist and have read Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, then this will all seem like old news to you. If you haven't, you should, but I'll try to describe why Capitalism and low taxes/small government is the best choice for Washington.

Taxes take from the rich and give to the poor. Now, all of you are probably wondering why this is such a bad thing. The truth is, we all want to help the poor. But we must learn that helping the poor may not be the best choice for America. The poor people are poor for a reason. A huge number of them are unproductive people with no jobs. Others take low-paying jobs as migrant farmers or McDonald's workers. These people do not contribute to society. Sure, they'll take your order for a Big Mac and fries, but they are not the entrepreneurs, they are not the inventors, they are not the engineers that will create tomorrow. They are people who leech off the rich and earn tax refunds and tax breaks from the government. The rich, on the other hand, are the people who are actively looking to create a new America. They are the entrepreneurs and the creators. But the tax system that we have today only punishes these "Prime Movers." Our tax system fails to tax the poor but excessively taxes the rich. With this kind of system, where is the incentive for our creators to keep creating? Why should the CEO of Apple keep creating new products if he knows that he is only going to be taxed more and more on his income? Why should Bill Gates create new software if he knows that America's government is just going to take all the money that he earns? There is no reason for these people to continue to be the leaders of society. There is no reason for these people to create products that appeal to the masses. It is true that we have not yet reached the stage where the government is taking away all your profits. But we are coming dangerously close. We have a huge federal deficit, and, instead of cutting spending, Obama is proposing tax increases. America needs a small government that has low income taxes. Sure, this will mean that the worker from McDonald's won't be able to take food from a food bank, but why should he? Why should our precious tax dollars continue to be used to fund programs that are feeding people who don't give back? With low taxes, there will be no reason not to invent. There will be no reason not to create. With low taxes, it will be as if Uncle Sam is saying, "Go on! Make! Create! Be Productive!" instead of "Go on! Make and be productive so that I can take all your profits and leave you just like everyone else." It's like the story of the boss who says, "Work harder, and then maybe I'll be the richest man in the world." What's the point of working if some IRS agent is just going to collect all of it? Low taxes and small government. It's the only way to get America working again.

Capitalism. It was the foundation on which America was born. And it is a foundation that we are drilling through and destroying now. During the recent financial downturn, what happened? Again, the government interfered. It used our tax money to prop up AIG, Bank of America, and countless other companies while the American people struggled to make ends meet. We didn't pay taxes so that the lousy second-handers would just get a free paycheck. We paid taxes for the good of us all, for the stimulation of the economy and the support of small businesses. We paid taxes so that America could be the power that it once was. But that hasn't been what the lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been using our money for. They've been handing out money by the boatloads to the bankers and the carmakers. And these people don't deserve the money. There is a difference between rewarding those who create and rewarding those who destroy. The leaders of GM, Chrysler, and Ford took steps to ensure that their companies would go down during a recession. They consolidated funding to pickups and large SUVs. They refused to fund smaller, greener cars. And it bit them in their tiny tushes. They made mistakes that would tank the US economy. And what did the government do? It rewarded them for those mistakes. It gave them money to continue their flawed enterprises. That money could have been diverted to small businesses. Capitalism allows the consumer to decide which companies are the best. We decided that GM and Chrysler were flawed and unreliable, but what did the government say? They said, "Here! Here are billions of taxpayer dollars that you can borrow for almost no interest so that you can keep your sinking ship afloat. Here is the lifeblood of the American economy. Do whatever you want with it." And they did. They still kept paying bonuses to executives. They still created large cars that wouldn't sell. They still made the same damn mistakes that doomed them the first time. And they were rewarded for it. Capitalism was the basis of the American superpower. We have strayed from it, but it's not too late. If the lawmakers in Washington take action, they can get America back to normal. 

Capitalism and small government. That's all that it will take to get small businesses running again. The incentive to do so and the ability to succeed. That's all that those businesses need. It's up to Uncle Sam, however, to decide if he wants to allow that to happen.

Principles of Guism

The Religion of Guism
Basic Beliefs
·       Rhetoric is the way to enlightenment.
·       Life is a series of debates; one argument leads to the next, and the chain of arguments is never-ending; hence it continues after death.  The human soul is reincarnated to continue these debates.
·       There is only one god in guism: kevin gu (other aliases including lady gugu, and the guman),.  the rest of the souls are fragments of kevin gu’s divine power of debate.
·       Those who cannot debate are losers and cannot survive in life.
·       All foundations of science are invalid and must be challenged in the never-ending series of the debates of life.
·       There is no such thing as love, metal, or K-pop.

Symbols/Gestures
·       The flailing of arms signal persuasion. 
·       The use of an Asian accent signals a sense of superiority during debate.
·       Maimed reproductive system: represents the hardships of Kevin Gu during his life on Earth to change the attitude of mankind.
·       The elephant- represents the conservative beliefs of Kevin Gu that he tried to teach to mankind.

Common sayings of GUISM
·       Lawlsauce- represents Kevin Gu’s contempt towards mankind’s incompetent rebuttals.
·       Lamesauce- represents Kevin Gu’s boredom towards the platitudes of mankind when they ineffectively debate
·       GGWP- good game well played (never used by Kevin Gu as he never concedes defeat)
·       “If there be time to expose, through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies to avert the evils by the processes of education, then the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”
§  -Kevin Gu.  (the #1 principle of GUISM)
·        “Its called…” common form of rebuttal mandated by Kevin Gu
 The official Religious text of Guism is The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand.
Echlons- 1. God (Kevin Gu)
            2. Disciples (Sahil Lamba and Samuel Yih)
            3. Secondary founders (Ivana Kang, Jenny Liu)
            4. Priests
