No, he isn't clown shoes. He lives of cap gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than income, how come u still don't get this? Weren't u an acct major? And I don't recall him saying that we need higher taxes, cause his secretary pays more taxes than he does, then doing his best to avoid all...

that no large societies practice it, doesn't make it any less fair. If what you're trying to get at here is the burden of taxes relative to the cost of living is disproportionate to earners on the low end of the scale.. then fine, I wouldn't have an issue with them paying a lower %, but...

it could be much more simple than that. Whatever we tax, income, property, consumption, etc.. everyone should pay the same %. No loopholes, no deductions, just a flat rate. That is FAIR, it's the same whether you make 10k or 10B, you are contributing your share. As for those guys at the top...

And that's why we shouldn't be playing world police. Americans here at home, can say what we want, but we really don't give a shit what's going on 'over there'. it just isn't the same as WWII, no one here is going to be effected by a war between north and south korea. But SK is our ally and...

I gotta agree. For my entire life we have been stationed all over the world, that is not the function of our military. Sovereign nations need to defend themselves. That doesn't mean we can't help our allies in a conflict but this is really half-ass imperialism. We provide their protection at...

he is a fucking nazi (which is funny cause i'm sure he's jewish) and looks like a child rapist with those creepy shark eyes. how could ANYONE vote for that guy?

yea really.. how many guns were used for 9/11 ricter? Quickly killing huge amounts of people is not best done by gun, and certainly doesn't require one.

haha, i feel the same way. Roads weren't built for bikes, ya bunch of jagoffs. Go to a trail or something. It's especially infuriating when they ride side-by-side in the breakdown lane, and you have to stop or go over the double yellows to get around them. WTF? I always have the urge to...

I already feel bad for anyone who will be living when/if that kind of tech exists. personally I'd prefer a nuclear fucking holocaust to living like that.

This is some of the sickest shit I have ever read. It really doesn't deserve a response but i'm bored. 1) You don't need a stated purpose for a gun, you simply have a RIGHT to own and carry them. 2) If this idea was so great and everyone wanted a nice gps tracked electronic piece (lol)...

+1 Max In a free market, an asset is only worth what the highest bidder will pay for it NOW. That the market isn't always moving towards 'equilibrium' is a moot point once an individual understands this.

I agree completely and appreciate your service. I'm not comparing McCain to the far left, because he is a way better man and more.. American than they are. the problem is guys like him and Bush still want power and whether they mean well or not, they need to be kept in check. Otherwise...

I do respect his service. I'm sure you have to be a hardened badass to go through what he did, and it's worthy of respect. BUT that trait doesn't necessarily translate to being a good leader, or knowing what you're doing. I saw Greta von whatever interview Rand Paul last night, and she...

sorry bro.. i don't follow. :confused:

I like to argue. Even though he is an admitted communist, and I agree with just about nothing he says, i don't think ricter is even close to the most dishonest lefty on this board. not even close, imo.

Now we're back to square one. If these demographic changes are real, where is the evidence? The lfpr of the last 100 years doesn't in any way prove that our job market is growing now. There are only a few ways the rate can be lower and declining. 1) The labor force is growing faster than...

Dude, it seems to me you were arguing early boomer retirement as the reason for the slide in the participation rate. This was my post: and you quoting me:

That bit of logic doesn't mean you are correct. If people over the retirement age are returning to work, that doesn't bode well for your argument that people who can't even receive retirement benefits, are retiring early. I would like to see some evidence to support your statement.

naw.. in that last thread you said the participation rate is dropping because the boomers are retiring early. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3742956&highlight=participation+rate#post3742956

This post is a great argument for NOT restricting gun rights. You understand nitro, that there are many ways to commit mass murder. taking the guns away from the populace wouldn't in any way ensure that these events will stop, it would however ensure that the avg citizen has NO CHANCE in a...
