The 46% is the marginal rate on earned income if you earn $200k your average rate is more like 17% each additional dollar is taxed at 46% in addition SS tax cuts out entirely. Those who get the big bucks usually structure it so it is taxed as a capital gain for which the rate is only 15%.

Nature Planet version: The ant being a worker in a communist hill never makes it to the winter. As fall approaches he is killed by soldiers and his body is recycled to feed the queen and aid in spring egg production. The grasshopper feed all through the summer decimating the crops in a poor country causing widespread famine and later genocide after tribal members blame the famine on neighboring tribes black magic. Grasshopper dies in the fall as do all grasshoppers. Moral life's a bitch then you die.

On 60 minutes right now.

Patents are how I make my living. I do high tech mostly semiconductors and software. No bio tech, never really understood how they got to cover genes as naturally occurring things were traditionally considered nonstatutory material even if discovered (never underestimate the lobbying power of big pharma). Much of the pharma research is on how to avoid the claims of others patents.

Don't think reading the bill has much meaning. It is many pages of legalese which will require many years of court decisions to interpret. It takes experienced stautory lawyers to interpret these sort of things and even they disagree (depending who pays them). It would have been simple to just drop the medicare age 5 years every years until everyone is covered and add kids immediately. The problem was all the R's were against any thing the D's were for requiring 60 votes. The Insurance Co's only had to buy off a few blue dogs to dictate the outcome, which they did. Welcome to America.

Yes, Yes and it is complicated and, I don't do that anymore.

George Washington in 1793 approved the Militia Act which required every male to by a musket and ammo.

It is pretty much the same thing as a 05 Toyota Matrix with a different badge.

So now Pelosi play Lucy with the football

It is a fun place to climb around and do some bouldering and scrambling especially after a few Margaritas (my sober 12 year old loved it) but it not really much of a climbing destination.

American Family Association says we should stone the whale.

Who would have thought that getting in a tank with a large predator that eats seals like popcorn could be dangerous?

Maybe he wanted to walk the Appalachian Trail.

I saw him walking into the Issaquah Post Office tonight, you were all taken in by one of his replicant androids.

The anti tax cults have been around for quite a while since the 80's at least. They made so quite convincing screeds and hosted seminars on why you do not have to pay taxes. This poor scnook bought it hook line and sinker. Kind of like religious kooks only about law.

so what exactly is ur conception of tax laws? Title 26 U.S. Code

What was amazing was not that the douche said that or even thought it but that nobody in the media noticed that his whole point was based on a misconception of the tax laws

Usually great time for a ski tour as there are no sleds, this year???
