red herring anti-guns people repeatedly claim that use of a gun in defense very rarely happens and if it is tried, it is very risky and likely to fail. GGK: bugger off, you are on permanent ignore wtf, red-herring? relevant to my argument. interpret the 2nd amendment in the "originalist" fashion conservative jurists are so in love with. the founders gave you a right to a musket, no more. also, "red herring" to say those who aren't for a wild-west gun environment are "anti-gun" This homeowner had a revolver with 6 shots. She fired them all and hit the intruder 5 times and he fled, later unable to continue due to his injuries. He is in the hospital. A musket would have been a failure to do much in this case.

Wait... this never happens (according to trash)

Perhaps you should give up your aspirations as most of your posts sound like they're written by an autistic 12 y/o high on crack. Irony alert!

Definitely not our Vanya - he is a wanna-be russkiy chelovek.

Yes, but Nastia is Russian, and tough as nails.

Bummer. Blue balls suck.

Clearly the flame-thrower loop-hole must be closed!

It is the part where they enacted huge tax cuts and started two wars. You don't need a diagram. And spending under Obama has been, how, exactly? Including military - I mean in comparison to Bush?

check them out and report back, please :-)

You have high standards.

What made Jim great was his rhythm playing: complex, full of infinite subtle variation. There has been nobody like him since. And his songs are definitely memorable and different from each other. Listen to "Are You Experienced?" and "Axis: Bold as Love" back-to-back. They couldn't be more different. SRV is great in his own right, but IMO his music sounds too much "the same" to put him on a level with some of the greatest guitarists - like Hendrix and others.

You're absolutely spot on. Until the tax code is revamped and loopholes are eliminated, it's all just smoke and mirrors. The working class will continue to be sodomized by the affluent. Dems are just Repub-lite. Isn't the simple solution to tax dividends/interest/appreciation over a modest amount (say $50k a year) as ordinary income? The simple solution is to adjust AMT so anyone making any income above some amount, no matter the deductions and other loopholes they take, get assessed a flat (or progressive), minimum tax. Then you'd never have a guy making over a million paying, say 2% tax on total income.

Michael Moore I'd be surprised to hear if he weren't willing to pay his fair share to the country that's treated him so well. How much has has the French film board benefited Depardieu over the years, I wonder. Raise MM's taxes to 75% on ALL income and that fat ass would sing a different tune

Exactly. Which is why this whole business about 39.6% being somehow some huge victory for "fairness" is BS.

Larry Ellison, one of the richest men in America, and a card-carrying democrat has recently earned the following, according to Wikipedia: In 2005, Oracle paid Ellison a $975,000 salary, a $6,500,000 bonus, and other compensation of $955,100.[19] In 2007, Ellison earned a total compensation of $61,180,524, which included a base salary of $1,000,000, a cash bonus of $8,369,000, and options granted of $50,087,100.[20] In 2008, he earned a total compensation of $84,598,700, which included a base salary of $1,000,000, a cash bonus of $10,779,000, no stocks granted, and options granted of $71,372,700.[21] In the year ending May 31, 2009 he made $56.8 million.[22] So of 50, 60, or 70 million compensation, 1 million is in salary, and 600K of that million is now taxed at 39.6% instead of 35. LOL

Ha, right! So who exactly makes >$400K in salary anyways? I bet it's a very small chunk of folks indeed (compared to other comp) Loopholes and tax breaks. Just like the rich have -and use. And the bigger you are, the more you can (and will) afford to pay for clever people to minimize your taxes by leveraging said loopholes. It's a BIPARTISAN plan, buddy, and the Dems and Barry just signed off on it.

But did they? How many people making 400K a year make that all in salary, now taxable at 39.6 %? I'd bet you it is more likely they make $150K salary and 250K elsewhere, so that 4.6% increase applies to about a third of this salary, and is an increase of a whopping 1.5+%.

He has already moved to Belgium. Belgium has reasonable tax rates on the rich.
