    Tax the rich

    but weren't the same guys who said cutting taxes would create jobs also sayign that super low interest rates were good, that it would end the recession before that and keep everybody buying shit and thereby keep everybody employed?

    Tax the rich

    millionaires make up something like 1% of the total population, yet 50% of the congress - i'm holding my breath on what decision them thare boys make

    Tax the rich

    Thank god the "Smoke Crack and Worship Satan" autosig is back. 1. How did the tax breaks wreck the economy, in your opinion? 2. What qualifies as rich? 3. What percentage of the total tax burden should the rich bear relative to their income and the total tax burden? Useful data: http://www.cbo.gov/publications/collections/tax/2010/graphics.cfm the basic question goes unanswered: if tax cuts lead to job creation, why did unemployment go in the crapper and stay there for 3 years despite no real change in taxes? i'm hardly an economic historian, but it seems like big tax cuts did go hand-in-hand with an orgy of real-estate speculation which did eventual resulted in the meltdown of '08 that still hasn't worked itself out today.

  9. climbing w/ kidz at frenchs that day w/ ben n' miker n' their klans, inshahallah got a direct start for wild turkeys pretty well cleaned, go do that as i sure as hell can't free the upper part
  10. dude, how much penn and teller have you watched? might as well say "hendrix wasn't a very good guitar player"... sure, might not be your cup o'tea, but his creative "magic" tricks and devotion to comic rationalism and science are unimpeachable if god does exist, you have no need to worry, i'm sure penn will be sharing a cell w/ carlin, voltaire, adams, etc (which come to think of it, doesn't sound like much of a punishment at all )
  11. sums it up for me...
  12. think penn's like 8 1/2 feet tall and weighs more than a small pony, so he's sure got room for more love fo'shizzle

    Crazy talk

    x2 but, to be sure, this is true on a bigger level too - as the american upper class squashes the lower class, so do western nations vis a vis africa/central america/etc. global gdp divided by world population doesn't result in a particuliar good average for all...

    Crazy talk

    reckon you could argue the roman empire was a welfare state, not that the results were always so encouraging
  24. reckon hi-tech communication gear and rescue equipment are like bolts - yah, you can not use them, but the temptation to use is pretty strong - sure, you can go on an expedition w/ no rescue plan, but if you die, your family and friends are likely to remember you as being a selfish asshole.
