Fess up, T. We all know you was raised at the CAFO:

Plug in toaster. Depress plunger. Insert fork. (Preferably aluminum or high-content silver.) Work it. Work it.

Bite leather, Porky.

Gotta balance the Meme Bros. version of Anus and Handy.

Hard-care Wobblies like the Meme Brothers should be thrilled by this not-so-new revelation.

What ever happened to Noam? I liked him way better than this Krugman feller.

Nothin' but your own shriveled sack stopping you.

I thought it got stuck in his toaster.

Does he wear eye-liner?

Nah. Just the first day of ice climbing season.

You are, of course, talking about our masters in Olympia. Good to have you on board with us. Now let's set about cutting their salaries and pensions.

and Yes. Someone has to take out the trash and clean the toilets. I couldn't think of a more qualified shit swabber. Don't forget to deduct that ten bucks you sent to Haiti last year!

Bracket 2 makes millions off of investments and pays zero taxes on any of that. Bracket 1 has no money to invest. Obviously Choada has no investments--or at least none that he's liquidated.

The so-called progressives here in Washington state have been decrying our sales tax as "regressive" and trying to impose an income tax for decades. I agree with pretty much everything you said above. Not sure your American progressive counterparts see things like you do.

For once I agree with OW. Let it expire for everyone. As for the poor, well, the bottom 40% of wage earners in the US don't pay any federal income tax as it now stands--and they'll continue to get the same sweet deal. As for a national VAT: it would require a constitutional amendment, and good luck with that. But if it were so bound to the exclusive purpose of paying down the national debt to a specific % of GDP--and if Dems didn't turn an in-kind portion of the general fund into yet another state welfare program--I'll bet more than just a handful of righties would go for it.

I voted for Bob Barr. Aren't you the guy who was all gung-ho for John Edwards?

Gotta agree with Barbara. Palin's about the only person on Earth who can't unseat this idiot you tards put into office.

Neanderthal! Shill!! Liar!!!

You're a fucking moron, W.

By the looks of your tummy and jowls nowadays, maybe you ought to cut back on those "conversations" just a bit--or at least leave the butter in the fridge while you two are talkin'.

I'm gonna charge you a baggage handling fee, Bitch.

Does j_b bitch-slap you when he's had two too many and his dinner's late?

You're still missing the point, which is this: 18 years old & up can still buy and inhale a perfectly legal product almost anywhere in America--a product that causes far more death and heartache than this nanny-state flavor of the week, 4-Loco. So why doesn't the govt ban cigarettes? (I'm not saying they should or shouldn't.)

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration told the manufacturers of seven caffeinated alcoholic beverages Wednesday that their drinks are a "public health concern" and can't stay on the market in their current form." Wow, Gregoire's got cronies in the FDA? You must've meant Obama, right? I guess you don't remember AG Gregoire's shakedown of Big Tobacco a few years back? Seems like she's off her game nowadays.
