A "FAIR TAX" thread so U_D can "tear me to shreds..."

[Saint Peter]

But you probably wouldn't have let yourself be set up like that, either.

They would not have let him into the library. Not in Texas.

That's actually a separate issue.

 

[firespin]

There are 60. A already provided the link.

Oh, and by the way, I said there were five sponsors in the Senate, and you replied with the number of sponsors in both houses without explaining that's what you did. Just wanted to clarify that. The others are in the House.

At those numbers of sponsors, it's like saying Ron Paul went from 1% support to 2%...it's easy to make "big" changes on a small base. There's no reason to expect support will dramatically increase any time soon.

It is? How do you fly a plane into the Trade Center when you cannot get on the plane?

If it were the "no-go" and hurtful solution you describe it as, the number would not continue to grow.

Economic collapse will cause many people to look for answers and I see a bad moon on the rise...

But that's a detail.

Obviously, he couldn't fly a plane into the WTC unless he could get on one, and obviously, he couldn't have been set up as a patsy by the CIA if he couldn't get into a book depository (not actually a library, btw).

But, if he could have, it's my belief that he wouldn't have allowed himself to be set up in that way.

Why do you have to be like that?

 

[Ishmael]

Wasn't Oswald a Marine?

I heard he was a poor shot.

[hijack]

I can make a case that Oswald was indeed a poor shot. And it was because he was a poor shot that he actually hit JFK. [/hijack]

[Byron In Exile]

I think about stuff.

It might be because I'm a Cylon.

They seem to have figured out humanity better than the humans.

Forget the thread: make your case.

It's got to be more educational than "It won't WORK because we'll see to it that it won't!"



We like the role of Robin Hood in the hood!

That will give you time to work out a response to my previous note, where I explained (in essence) that you can have either:

- keep all your current gross, but everything costs 30% more, or

- keep all your current net, and everything costs the same.

You just don't get "more money in your pocket" with current prices.

What if a flat tax would allow the US to raise the minimum wage?

Would it be okay, then?

 

[firespin]

OK for whom?

For me, I'm not a big fan of minimum wage. We upped it by a lot recently, and a lot of people are out of work now. Who could have predicted that?

Oh, I don't know, a few people could have predicted that...

The thing is, is it better to work for $7.25 an hour, or fall into the safety net, and make extra cash under the table?

Cash you pay no taxes on?

I had a guy do some interior work recently, no paperwork. He did an excellent job, and I paid him in cash.

Cash is a good thing.

Under the fair tax, the guys who sell gray market cigarettes and Rolex knockoff watches now will be hawking big screen TVs (that fell off a truck) for cash at 23% off department store prices.

 

[RobDownSouth]

yes, net = gross, but only because gross will be reduced to the current net.

Exactly. After much hemmin' and hawwin', Neil Boortz even admitted so.

You would not know an excellent job if it was stuffed up your asshole and tied to your hair!

 

[Saint Peter]

Fuck. That made my day.

 

[Byron In Exile]

People are getting seriously fed up with this shit.

They're tired of taxes, of regulations, no water for crops because of some stupid minnow, of Obama spending money as if the world is just a big Monopoly game and money is just paper...

Everyone I know has the same attitude.

Things are going to change in November.

There's no call for this nastiness.

"I had a girl let me do some interior work recently, no paperwork. She did an excellent job, and I paid her in cash."

 

[Saint Peter]

There's no call for this nastiness.

I know. I have not been myself lately. Giving you crap about the Rover, telling Byron he does not respect my spelling, and posting about not shooting in killy's hair in that other thread.

I need a vacation.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Cash is a good thing.

Especially when it circumvents the taxes the government is trying to collect.

I would never buy an asshook made in Colorado.

I might take a trip up Pike's Peak, though.
