this thread smells like balls

If you have two cars, you should get taxed MORE.

sure (though not fewer loopholes, but ALL of them) -- and only if you increased the long-term capitol gains tax as well. 15% on an unlimited amount of income is RETARDED A massively simplified tax code without any deductions, loopholes or subsidies in exchange for lowered rates across the boards sounds pretty good to me. He wants you to kiss your mortgage deduction and child tax credit good bye. Sounds good to me, in exchange for lowered rates (something like 8%, 14%, 23% maybe?) and a greatly simplified tax code that inhibits cheating. Income* x% baby! (oh yeah, and capital gains should just be straight income)

I think you're misunderestimating him!

I wonder why nobody likes Huntsman? He seems less crazy than the rest. I might even give him my vote if he had a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination. I bet he could attract a lot of moderates in a general election. It's just a shame he's not crazy enough to survive the GOP primaries. "To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."

ba dum chsssh!

the existence of the republican party is a great litmus test for my friends: it helps me find out which of them are FUCKING RETARDED.

that's because there weren't ENOUGH tax breaks

Sure, and nobody can ever know if the tooth fairy exists, either. I guess you're a tooth fairy agnostic.

sounds like it might be time for the midnight man to pay a little visit to this vehicle....

plus, “just don’t use phones” or "just don't clip bolts" isn’t really the same. It’s one thing to be “out there” and on your own because that’s the way it is – and quite another to pretend to be out there and avoid safe retreats in favor of dangerous ones "just because." Bonatti’s adventure is neat because he overcame dangerous odds out of necessity -- he didn't HAVE any options, that's why it's a cool story. If you have options but don't use them, it's just not the same.

dude, just buy a harness already. It's not supposed to be a hard choice, just find something within your price range with the features you want -- I'm sure it will work just fine.

likely not, having previously rejected cool glow-in-the-dark condoms Haven't you heard the pope? Condoms INCREASE aids!!!!!

who WOULDN'T agree to glowing in the dark???

It's finally happened!!!!!

But marijuana is a gateway drug!!!!!

Not to mention the huge expense that health benefits for employees represents. That's a constant pain-point for the small-business owners I know. I imagine they'd be thrilled to not have to provide that anymore.

where do you draw the line? Does the minimum wage "hurt business?" Or should anything that "hurts business" be done away with? By that logic, should we make all businesses tax free? Don't taxes "hurt business?" Or, is it maybe OK to "hurt business" a little bit, if it's in the best interest of everyone else? Or do you think we should get rid of OSHA, payroll taxes, corporate income taxes, fairness-in-hiring laws, minimum wage, etc. etc. etc.? Curious what sorts of measures you think are acceptable.
