Some from me PT, RCG, Luke, pspr, denner, FT, AK, Brass if he's still around, and L-Kabong. AND everyone else. As I said in another thread, I'm a bit sad, had to Celebrate via Skype with family, but will make it back home for Christmas not matter what. Please everyone, just smile for a...

I'm just going to risk a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here, and back in the States. I had a great time, albeit on Skype, with my family. I'll be back for Christmas time, no matter what however. So, please take my heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving to all those here, regardless of political...

All good info, but we all have to admit, we Need to Cut Spending, clean shit up.

Supply and Demand will always win out over ideological crapola.

All businesses do what they have to do to stay in business. Some are cutting to 30 hours per week, in a ploy to try to save money. If they find that they lose valuable employees, then they will have revert back to normal business practices. All this hyperbole over such basic business...

Nope, no need to. Do you always switch to some nonsense when you have no valid discussion points? Aliases, medical conditions, how trite. But, it's what I login for, the entertainment value. Am I to assume you don't trade? Which is fine, just wondering.

Doesn't that kind go against the contraceptive argument? The pro life movement wants all fetuses carried to full term, regardless. Where do you stand on all that?

I have no idea what you're talking about. I have never been in the $5000 seminar business or anything similar. I have been pretty successful trading, and have helped others in my life, and don't mind sharing. Lately, I've been finding some nice put sales, decent IV and quick return...

Right back at you Brother Sam!!

That's the whole point. If we were talking about going from 25% to 90% and have it retro to dollar one, then I can see the argument. But the way it is, is simply not that way. Hell, if it scaled up to 50 or 60% I still would not stop trying to earn more, who would?

Great, thanks for the explanation. I'll google some of this, thanks again. Do you work for a single employer or do you have the ability to free lance?

Good points, and I think if we really dive into what the Insurance companies are extracting from every dollar, we may find an answer. Single payer is the way to go. Obviously.

OK, not schizo at all, pretty much the same all day long. And, I have to be utterly honest with myself, day in and day out. My comment about winning arguments, was simply what I've noticed when you tend to get caught up in the Hatfield and McCoy thing between the two of you instead of...

I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. Have a Nice Thanksgiving Luke.

OK, I have to say this, since I've been accused of always wanting to make bets. I will bet a $trillion that the earth will still exist on December 22nd. Any takers? If I lose, what the hell. We don't need Nate Silver for this one. OK, just having some fun.

Just my way of saying I was wrong in this case. I'm not sure if they divide the number of posts by the number of days where actual posting takes place, or if the divide by the total number of days since we started. Not a big deal, I've been wrong before. Just curious as to the math.

I think the point was that many think their tax rates will jump to the higher bracket for ALL income, which is, as I'm sure you know, is totally wrong. If I pay 25% for the first $250K or so, and then pay 33% for the next $250K, I'm certainly not going to stop trying to make the whole...

OK, I'll take that as your way of extending an olive branch of sorts. I do call out nonsense when I see it, from either side. Please realize that I have been sort of stuck in another land for many months, and I do log into 3 or 4 boards each day. When my trading is slow, as I'm sure you can...

Agree with the drink, and go ahead Luke, say something about me drinking. Which I do little of. OK, we all have to get past some of the political discussions. What ever happened to Zero Population Growth. Never mind, I know. Any business person, and any thinking person in general, would...

OK, I have to go with my gut on this one. Although Jem and I disagree on many things, I also believe that Obama could have and should have, fought harder for single payer. But, yes, I also understand my friend Free Thinker who realizes that getting something passed was better than nothing. Now...
