It's predictable around here to have people laud Socialism as the perfect governmental system and then work like crazy to convince the rest of us that it's a free society like any other except with a Post Office.
The word in a discussion like this one usually means extracting more than a minimal amount, and especially when it's not for the direct benefit of the payee. For example, a sales tax that supports road repair is not considered to be confiscatory, but taxing anyone 50% of his earnings just because he has that much and it is then used to benefit other people favored by the government is considered to be confiscatory. It's seized simply because it's available or as a penalty for being successful.
That's a clearer explanation of what you're getting at, but that's not really what confiscatory means.
Your forgetting many on the right do not believe in any kind of progressive taxation.
Quick question: have you in your entire life been to America? Otherwise your spouting ethnocentrism.
Yes I have, for someone coming from abroad everything is big and brash and the way they do things can be frightening, food portions are way too big and people drink soda for breakfast, a lot of heavy duty people and there doesn't seem to be any depth to anything also everything appears to be comparatively new, someone told me that America is 'all fur coat and no nickers' and I think it's true.
Ah so you been to America and still you are still spouting ethnocentrism in a condescending patronizing altitude. Is that the norm from where you are at?
I went I saw and I have given you my opinion if you don't like it that's sad, to me the American way of living lacks depth and character, most eat huge portions of processed food and consume too many burgers and hotdogs while drinking fat making coke and they drive everywhere, America is the most wasteful country on earth and the educational system is getting worse while religion has turned parts of America into third world countries.
Do you honestly think that people would automatically like your opinions, or even agree with them? Talk about being a snowflake.
I don't care either way.
Right I'm from the UK, because you don't have depth and character you can not be expected to know what depth and character are, it's like class you either have class or you don't, only a few Americans in the public eye have class, do you think Trump has class?
Brexit will be just fine thank you, it might take a while but everything will work itself out because we will make sure it does.
You replying to the statement means that you do care in a way.
Yet you appear to have difficulty defining "depth", "character" or even "class".
Define "class" first.
Other ukers here don't seemed to agree with you.
The word is "Brits" not "ukers", (you don't travel outside of the US very much do you?) what are our options? make Brexit work or?
Last time I check it effects the uk not just the brits.
Ask your fellow "brits" here, in the international politics section.
Oh My Gosh. The sentence you wrote tells me you know very little about the United Kingdom (UK) or the British and I suspect Europe in general, Brits live in the UK, the word is short for "British", Brexit was voted on by the British in the UK, the United Kingdom is the union of four countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
