lol - It’s a little bit hilarious that after the seemingly all for nothing definitions you posted, you go on to explain that you have no empathy for sociopaths and are clearly confusing them for what is meant by society.
You’re going to pay more gas taxes if you use 200 gallons a month than I do if I use 50 gallons a month. The same rule (the rate) applies.
If you make $100,000 a year, you’re going to pay more in taxes than if I make $90,000 a year. The same rule (the rate structure) applies.
The idea that it’s unequal if you’re in a different marginal rate class is ridiculous. If we both made $250,000, we’d be taxed the same. The same rate structure applies to either of us. It’s not unequal that you get taxed at a different rate on a higher portion of income. We get taxed the same exact amount on the same portion of income. We are taxed equally on the equal portions of income.
Yeah sociopaths are awesome. Have had to avoid my brother I raised for a decade and avoided my father for the last fifteen years of his life because they’re textbook APD and people who lack empathy will destroy you and not even care, over nothing.
Assign whatever human qualities you want to a power structure. Sociopaths are not misunderstood. They are not unfairly defined by society. They are not practical people or even low empathy. They are monsters.
Sociopaths are serial killers and rapists. A sociopath will poison their infant sibling because they’re jealous of the attention. A sociopath is capable of beating their mother to death with a tire iron over an ice cream. They feel nothing for other people, not their family, not their friends, no one except themselves.
Yeah you get a real sense of what “superficial charm” really means when one steals the story of your life as their cover story because they don’t have any relatable human qualities.
No I’m not when you compare the same units. Let’s say there are two rates: 10% for 0 - 100,000, 20% for 100,000+.
If I make 100,000 and you make 150,000, we are both taxed the same exact amount on our first 100,000. Same. Exact. Amount. $10,000. 10%. You are taxed an additional $10,000 on the remaining 50,000. But you can’t compare that to the taxes I pay because then you aren’t comparing apples to apples.
