What is "funny" in a peculiar way, is that you're still here, and anyone who opposes you, even in a civil manner, is gone.

Now I and everyone else knows what you meant when you said, "I did what I...

Chris,

Who is suspended?

I've only received an email referring to names being forwarded to the mods?

Who are the mods, and where have they been? Seems like they've been playing air-traffic...

I'm really surprised at the responses. I thought that proposing a flat tax would be met with acceptance here. Yet the main thrust appears to be to protect the richest of the rich from paying any...

yes ma'am....:oops:

Yes. Defaulting = Devaluing the dollar

Ready for $1000 weekly grocery tabs? $900 fill-ups at the gas station?

I'm not.

I hope those are wildly extreme, alarmist, exaggerated...

Either one Troy. Apparently there's no distinction anymore according to SCOTUS. (but that's a whole 'nother thread)

The premise I hold to is that anyone earning a living and expected to pay...

yep, I just did. And don't even pretend to say you haven't reported folks. That is so false, I think you must be joking!

there was no need to make theats and go off like that.

Look around,...

Enough is enough Stan. You made an argument, I countered with data from a web site that you linked, pointing out that PJ makes a 170 foot megayacht in England. Thats all I did. Why do you fly off...

You lost me. My idea of simple is that everyone pays a flat rate. Period.

What the Sam Hell are you talking about???

Can't have a disagreement without crying to mommy?

Red triangle me if you want. Geez! I pointed out that many megayachts are made overseas. You...

You can twist numbers until they are incomprehensible, but I stand by this:

If Joe the CEO pays an effective tax rate of 17% on $300,000,000, and Bob the Pro Dog Trainer pays 36%, SOMETHING IS...

Sorry guys, surprising as it may be, I disagree.

That money has ALREADY BEEN SPENT. Not backing it up, with whatever ill-begotten ways, could render the dollar worth the paper its printed on.
...

Uuhhhh.......ok.

WHAT???

You must have a comprehension disorder.

I even put the answer in bold.

THEY SHOULD PAY 37% OF THEIR GROSS INCOME.

If you can't see that, get some bifocals man!

I don't look at it in terms of total tax burden. All I can do is pay my part, and ask that each individual does the same. Those numbers you quote are not as shocking as their face value,...

NASA, Houston has a problem


Now that the space shuttle program is ending, no other place in the world deserves a retired shuttle more than Houston, Texas. Put simply, this decision should be a...

Here's a beautiful story with a happy ending. I can't imagine how those parents must feel about this little guy!

Boy, 9, uses CPR to save 2-year-old sister

Tristin Saghin might only be 9 years...

I've seen that. Its pretty bad. I'd give them both blue ribbons for those performances. :D

Yes, the president should bumble through an answer he's not prepared to answer. Here's an exapmple of how to appear presidential:

well, its always nice to have the truth as the last word, isn't it?

I only pointed out that those yachts were being made in a brand new English shipyard, not American, no matter how much you want...

Construction continues in the Palmer Johnson’s
U.K. facility, opened in Hampshire in
2008, on the flagship of Palmer Johnson’s
sport yacht series, designed by the Italian firm

#2 - the SAME as you and I. In that setting, #1 becomes irrelevant.

If you still want a number, see what 250k is in 1980 dollars??

I'm not wanting to run them off, or take thier first born child....just that they pay at least what you and I do. No more, no less. Is that too much to ask?

Oh, and hate to burst your "made in...

I agree with that. Baby factories should not be rewarded.

I wonder what the percentage of those paying no taxes would be if we just eliminated the child tax credit?

Again, maybe folks here in that category. Young, several kids, middle to low income job.....

Fine, go ahead and tax them. I agree with a flat rate....so long as everyone pays, not just the...
