There was a movement afoot here in Cali for immigrants that worked on fake/borrowed SSNs to get credit for the money "they" paid into the "borrowed" SSN account; the amounts deducted from their checks. The movement also wanted to have the SSN benefit checks sent directly to the Mexico or San...

Don't TPTB in Canuckistan work the juniors in the resource sectors over pretty hard?

We likely end up with both taxes. The per mile tax will kick in after 7,500 miles... "excessive use fee", "equilization fee" ("high-mileage" drivers, "fair share", etc...).

I am suggesting a vehicle tax on the amount of fuel consumed; therefore, a "sort of" tax on highway usage. If you have an expensive car and don't drive it, your fee is considerably higher than the guy who drives $50k miles a year in an older vehicle.

Okey, $100 to $160; my point was that the tax/fee is not flat.... Similarly, if you have a big expensive "ride", the taxes can be much higher. Personally, I think if they are gonna impose a fee, it should be collected via the gas pump in the form of a "user tax"...

Its not flat. If you drive a more modest car, the tax can be like $50 or $100...

The whole fantasy that people will somehow start borrowing to consume is crazy. People are beginning to save & pay down debt, which they should be doing...

Soros? I'll pass... Socialist, Globalist, Asshat... Governator ran as a "change" candidate, much like Black Bush, and he morphed in Gray Davis, Jr. Just glancing at it occasionally, it seemed the legislature wouldn't pass any of this changes & he rolled over. Apparently, politics does very...

They left out pension shortfalls which are much higher than the deficits...

You left out the politicians...

You are thinking in terms of People rather than Capital. Capital is much less emotional; it goes where it is welcomed & where opportunities exist. Taxes stunt opportunity; it lowers the return while raising the cost of business. At some point, you can choose not to work, structure yourself so...

legal or otherwise... countries have the ability to collect taxes & they have defaulted on debt.

:D yeah, that kinda shit happens way too often.

this is the "broken window" approach to job creation.

That might have been on a State license app, but I seem to rememebr a very weird question on the "E&O" apps I fill out every year.

Thanks Landis - that sounds about right at 10,000 admissions for 50,000 applicants. Someone had tols me that UCSD had admitted like 4,000 or 48,000 applicants, but that was incottect as the website shows like 17,000 or 48,000 applicants. BTW, your $27,000 estimate is about correct for the "all...
