I was thinking about how the problem with Tim's wheels are an analogy for the problems with the Government that were being discussed.

You just can't expect the monkeys that caused the problem to fix the problem.

It is always easier to muck something up then it is to fix the problem that was caused by the muck up!

No, we didn't go to war over a 3% tax. We went to war over being taxed without having the right to representation in the British Government.

"No taxation without Representation" was the rallying cry for the American Revolution.

The House of Blues is a great place to see a show - you can get real close up to the stage if you know how to get in early... I saw a couple of shows at the Chicago House of Blues and it was one of the best places to see one when you can get right up to the front of the stage... You have to stand to get the good spots - only a few seats and they don't have a good view....

That guy choked and clenched... That was the wrong thing to do... Just made it worse... :realcrazy:

You have to RELAX so it RELEASES, if you wanna pull that off... (pun intended....) :rolleyes:
 
Well, so much for an early end to my day. My consulting clients just called and want me to come to their office at 2 pm to review data. *sigh*

Oh well, at least I get paid $325/hr to be there...

very true, but im fairly sure there is a limit on the type of deductions they can take. I'm just sick of people complaining about cutting taxes for the "rich". this country went to war over a 3% tax on freaking TEA!

If you invest in a couple of "dud" funds so you loose some money each year, it can be written off as losses to offset the profits on their other successful investments...

********************************

Put yourself in the place of the $10 per hour worker... They work 40 hours for $400 net pay and bring home about $300 per week... That has to pay rent/mortgage, car payment (usually a hoopty as they can't afford a new one), electric, gas, water, internet, phone (unless you qualify for a 'bama phone), food for a family... Not to mention they can't afford health insurance... (no cable)

They are going to work 40 hours a week and can't make ends meet... They can't afford to pay more taxes...

*********************************************

Then you see guys like Trump not paying any taxes... Some corporations making millions/billions and paying less taxes (or none) than them, or even getting government subsidies.... WTF???? :wtf:

Those upper class guys in the triple digits can afford to pay more than the other guy makes in a year and have plenty left over...

That CEO from Wells Fargo that got caught cheating their customers made over $200 million on the stock dividends alone not to mention the millions in bonuses and incentives that he made.... He ain't paying 25% - 33% like the working class guys... And his 25% - 33% is waaay more than the $10 per hour guy will make in his lifetime....

What about Martin Shkreli - the pharmacy company CEO that cranked up the price of the AIDS drug by 5000% just to make profit... He can afford a tax increase....

******************************************************************

Then when the $10 per hour guy can get as much to stay home instead of work his *** off for 40 hours, they wonder why there are so many on welfare... You are putting some them on welfare by over taxing them beyond their means...

im not sure that is actually true. Take California, 60% of their taxes come from people making over 200,000 a year, that tax bracket is 13.3% plus the fed tax rate of 33%, plus local levels up to 10% in some cases, the upper class is paying half or MORE of their income in taxes.
