    A Flat Tax for California?

    May be old news, but it is still shocking for those of us who don't live in S.F.... actually, its very disturbing... I guess since you live there it is not outrageous.

    My solution to Californias Budget crisis.

    I'm not saying you are stupid, but that is the most idiotic statement anyone has made here in a long time, & that's saying something. NO offense intended.

    Getting a trading job with a criminal record - possible?

    Hopefully, the app won't ask something like: have you ever been convicted of a crime? I have seen questions on E&O insurance apps that ask "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" It might even have asked: "Have you ever been charged with a felon?" Even if you scrub your record, you still...

    Getting a trading job with a criminal record - possible?

    I think you are best sued for a job in the NY Atty's office or the Justice Department.

    My solution to Californias Budget crisis.

    I think tuition is near $10k per year in UC & like $6k to$8k+ at the CSU... the CCs & JCs are much less. The entry requirements at the UCs are not based solely upon grades, & SAT or ACT scores, but you are correct regarding D students. At UCLA, UCSD & UC Berkley, sometimes the "A" students...

    A Flat Tax for California?

    they might pay 1/2 the taxes, but they don't represent 1/2 the voters... maybe something like that happens in New Hampshire, which I think already doesn't have a State income tax. A few years back, there was a guy on the web trying to get like-minded folks to all move to the same area & take over.

    My solution to Californias Budget crisis.

    I think UC tuition is pretty fair. The CSU tuitions are even more reasonable. My second will be going to UC this September. That will be two away at University of California campuses... just when the recession/depression really starting to bite :(

    A Flat Tax for California?

    thats bullshit. It costs appx $8,000/year per pupil in Cali; a family earning min wage barely grosses enough to school two children, let alone 4 to 6... the min wage worker having more kids than he can afford is not the victim. the educational costs are only one line item & doesn't include...

    A Flat Tax for California?

    What i am saying is that if people do not believe in contraception, they should pay for the costs associated with raising a child, not be given an additional tax break every time the mom pops a kid out. Take for example the minimum wage worker with six kids. Private tuition is say...

    A Flat Tax for California?

    of course there are, but locking people up for pot & some other types of "victimless" crimes in bullshit. Another thing to consider is that the "cost" of housing prisoners does not include the lost tax revenues that they could produce if they were a part of "free" society. An additional...

    A Flat Tax for California?

    I'd like to see a heavy flat tax put on children - kind of a user tax for education & other services. Then I'd like to sit back & watch the certain groups including the Catholic Church deal with that - yeah, if your beliefs are so strong, then you pay for your children. :p

    Lifestyle trader choice - tough decision

    I had a similar opportunity. A buddy closed his biz & went to work for a national firm b/c he had three kids in college. I only have two in college (1 now + another in September) :D ... I was afraid I'm unemployable after 20+ years as the boss, so if I closed my biz, I'd lose my clients &...

    U.S. Headed For Economic Disaster

    yeah, not to mention bAmbAm knows the guy didnt pay his taxes & puts him charge of Treasury, which I think may oversee the IRS... which would be a big joke, if it wasnt true.

    Why is it scarier to spend money when you have it, then when you dont?

    That was not my take from reading the book. For anyone who hasn't read the book, it shows that you don't have to be a genius or hit it big. The "Millionaires Next Door" unspectacular people who generally worked hard, owned their own buinsesses, lived below their means, were frugal, invested...

    Job Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals

    Today I drove 75 minutes round trip, waited 3 hours for a round, and then got sent home because nobody was taking caddy’ s today. This routinely happens. I was thinking you would tell us you walked up hill in the snow both ways. IF you have time to whine on the internut, you have time...

    Job Fight: Immigrants vs. Locals

    My "theory's"? Live below your means, whatever they are. Dude, my Mom raised 2 kids with no welfare or child support from my Dad & she started from scratch when my dad beat her, flipped the TV over & walked out the door forever. Her Scottish accent was so heavy, none of my friends could...
