what a pathetic clown. You spent the last 2 years chasing me around to verbally abuse me and rarely commenting on subject and this is what you come up with? You are the typical wingnut who accuses his opponents of what he does systematically. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? Douchebag. 1)You are not a serious person to debate with (and you are mentally ill to boot). 2)All you want to do is harp on the same boring political bullshit endlessly. This is a climbing site, you moron.

My point when mentioning payroll and regressive taxes was to show that many more people pay taxes despite what your graph showed. It's a classic regressive talking point to only discuss federal income tax as if that was the only way people were taxed, which it isn't. Your "real hourly compensation" doesn't accurately account for real costs of living. One income family used to make the ends meet whereas many 2 income families can't make ends meet today. Their standard of living isn't higher than it used to be either (as shown by Warren's study among other evidence), so there is something wrong with your data, which isn't too surprising considering how many time methodologies have been tweaked to make numbers look better by successive administrations. but none of the above addresses the salient points of my post above: inequalities that are as large as during the age of robber barons, trillions in profit not being taxed, paltry marginal rate of taxation, federal spending on many other things than the "welfare state", etc ... j_bot's reply as usual: - you're wrong - I'll rephrase that you are wrong by making claims with no backing data other than "because I said so" - chuck in a few insults - include a few comments critical of administrations, policies, and historical situations he disagrees with, but are not directly related to the points being raised Yes, indeed, substantive debate of the 'bot. He's really walking the walk!

JayB regularly posts thoughtful detailed, posts, chock full of plots, data, and citations. You, j_bot and other assclowns have nothing to post in response other than "you are wrong" coupled with lame insults and inanities. JayB may have the patience and feel it is worth replying to you as he does, but I don't. Lick sack is about all you really warrant for a response and your dancing gigolo video is just proof positive of that, not that further proof was required.

Magnificent and impressive rebuttal. Almost as high quality as j-bot can muster.

Thanks Ivan, I like that one, one more if you please. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; for there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he falls, at least he falls while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat" TR d Or as the Russians would say: "za odnogo bitogo, dvukh nebitykh dayut" За одного битого, двух небитых дают

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/01/07/132717135/a-theme-park-an-airport-and-the-next-banking-crisis j_bot has a solution: tax the richest 200 Spaniards. QED! LOL!

Hence your continued participation!

Ad-Hom! Ad-Hom!

You should do a road tour where you visit all these states and tell them how "dumb" they are. Love how progressives claim to care about the common man, but evince such blatant disregard for him in reality, condemning whole swaths of the country as "dumb" and obviously beneath them. If only you could have the State educate these people and put them in their place while ensuring they have a job and a "living" wage. Kind of like taking care of your pets, I suppose, eh j_bot?

You dirty little man.

I'm just waiting for ONE succinct and coherent reply. Coherency, for once, would be nice.

He's a scientist - you know that, right?

no emergency room visits or snow cave bivy? WTF? ;-)

Once again OCD boy scores a quadruple self-reply!

As if every "solution" you propose does not occur without government spending - a lot, in fact. LOL. except that I don't claim that government spending shouldn't play a role like you and your pals do at every opportunity. That kind of flip flopping is called hypocrisy by most people. In addition to coherence, you should work on being consistent as well. Yes you are. You oppose gov't spending in on case and support it in another. Retard. And BTW, moron, I opposed both the bailouts and most all of your idiotic spending schemes.

I like your new auto-sig line!

We seem to get to this point relatively quickly. Again and again. indeed, there has been a neoliberal revolution to defund the state since Thatcher and Reagan. Time to pull your head out of ass, perhaps. tongue in cheek, my ass. why didn't ask you Jayb what he meant when he attributed the budget crisis to overspending? was he hand waving?

Some things for you to try some time: Punctuation. Organization of phrases into sentences. Coherency.

by opposition to your 401k after the Wall Street bailout? by opposition to its rebound in intervening years

here comes the goon squad!

whatever you say you neo-fascistic thug!

WOOPS!

AD-HOM AD-HOM!!!
