Bugs me

Rade January 24, 2012 07:09PM

consumption tax bro. no more income taxes. nt

The Forsaken(VIP) January 26, 2012 05:17AM

Consumption tax is such a horrible idea

Rade January 26, 2012 07:09PM

You are assuming they break the law. They'd still pay taxes if they bought it outside the US and transferred it in.

Death_Claw January 31, 2012 01:47PM

Alot of assumptions there..

Rade January 30, 2012 05:43PM

Yeah.

Death_Claw January 25, 2012 11:21PM

So the other day

bell January 25, 2012 01:54PM

man, I heart you so much right now. (n/t)

satchmo January 26, 2012 01:01PM

See my post above

Welverin January 26, 2012 01:19AM

His name is spelled Kerry. You not knowing this makes me discount your argument, to be honest.

bell January 26, 2012 09:55AM

P.S. Kerry was a total douche. Just didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea. :P (n/t)

bell January 26, 2012 11:50AM

Why deflect? They are talking about Mitt Romney. Not John Carry. (n/t)

Matrik January 26, 2012 05:17AM

What he paid in taxes would take you several lifetimes to even earn. Capital gains is capital gains. n/t

Death_Claw January 25, 2012 11:24PM

is this math, do two negatives cancel make a positive?

The Forsaken(VIP) January 25, 2012 03:59PM

Re: So the other day

Rade January 25, 2012 02:28PM

Why should capital gains work differently if you make more money?

Death_Claw January 25, 2012 11:26PM

It should be tiered like regular income

Rade January 26, 2012 07:06PM

It already is, it is a percentage of the proceeds. It's not regressive at all.

Death_Claw January 31, 2012 01:52PM

God damn Bell, that's a good post. (n/t)

Matrik January 25, 2012 02:06PM

Random story.

You should be forced to beg on the street before programs like WIC exist.

Death_Claw January 25, 2012 11:28PM

Know what pays better than begging as a last resort? Crime...

bell January 26, 2012 10:00AM

Except you're just pulling that out of your ass.

Death_Claw January 31, 2012 01:49PM

Every revolution since the beginning of man kind? (n/t)

Matrik January 31, 2012 04:05PM

You ever read Freakonomics? Awesome book, btw. NT

Sam January 26, 2012 03:39PM

Never did, but I remember hearing people talk about it.

bell January 27, 2012 06:50AM

One of the main points of the book is how inner city "gangsters" selling drugs structure their organization much like a Fortune 500 CEO. Kinda fascinating.

Sam January 27, 2012 11:44AM

You're answers in these political discussions are fantastic. (n/t)

Matrik January 26, 2012 10:03AM

How would you feel about someone like me (and I really want your feedback as I've struggled with this).

Sam January 26, 2012 09:20AM

Re: You should be forced to beg on the street before programs like WIC exist.

Isildur(VIP) January 26, 2012 07:01AM

It's not the phone, it's the *premium* phone and more specifically monthly bill with data plan

Rade January 25, 2012 02:18PM

Spending > Saving.

Kez January 25, 2012 03:59AM

It's great for creditors. Not so great for everyone else. n/t

Death_Claw January 25, 2012 11:29PM

Just making the observation that..

istirith January 25, 2012 08:00PM

It is important to both spend and save in a stable economy.

vortexmagus January 25, 2012 10:39AM

Meh. It's not as simple as you make it out to be. Part of the reason we are currently in a relative economic shitter right now is banks just aren't lending money to people, they are sitting on it.

Sam January 25, 2012 02:46PM

Spending -can be- good for an economy, as part of a larger plan. nt

Splntrd January 25, 2012 04:26AM

That's because people have no shame in taking a hand out.

Rogue January 24, 2012 07:45PM

Despite what I, or others might say. I can imagine that is pretty frustrating in the moment, at the very least. (n/t)

Matrik January 24, 2012 07:42PM

I don't even own a cellphone.

RobDarken January 24, 2012 07:32PM

Thanks for your input Kaczynski Jr (n/t)

HairyOrangutan January 25, 2012 04:35AM

My average meal cost is between 3-5$ cause I'm a poor as shit college student

vortexmagus January 24, 2012 07:27PM

This is me, too.
