I'm with Optional777 at a core philosophical level. Socialism is death. I reject it at it's core because it is anti-human rights. Also, because it's dynamics can never work. No incentives. Alfonso never did explain why it's OK to steal from the achievers and give the fruits of...

This THREAD has gone to hell in a hand basket :D peace axeman

Excellent points. I like to take a lot of time to discover the "nature" my trading systems. To get a good "feel/understanding" of what the best, worst and normal cases are. peace axeman

I didn't post that. :) Aaaaand... I didnt vote for him. peace axeman

Quote from Error 404: "60%? Where do you live?" At the time, San Francisco. "If you believe in regressive taxation, we will never agree on that. If you think the government wastes money, we will always agree on that." Agreed. "The only place I can imagine you living in the...

Quote from SlowerPussyCat: "So if you are born into a family of the "underclass", then you are by birth a thief? And you are to be punished as a child for the "sins" of your parents? Grandparents? Great grandparents, etc.?" Of course not. Who said anything about punishment? Putting an...

My software is 100% custom, and written from scratch. I mostly crunch years worth of intraday data. Thats 450X more candles than EOD (1 min candles). I also crunch it with multiple indicators and through many sets of parameters. Each run can take minutes to hours. I dont have enough...

Quote from alfonso: "Well, consider the alternative, AAA, where everybody pays the same, absolute dollar level of taxation, regardless of their earnings; or where everyone is taxed on the same percentage rate." What could be more fair than being taxed the same percentage rate? The more...

"Axe you didn't answer *any* of my previous questions to you" Huh???? You better pose them a little better then... Your questions from your previous post were: 1) This is the "meat" of your post? I answered NO, and showed you the meat. 2) So our current tax code is "communistic" in...

Busted.... this pretty much solidifies my position that your ideas are communis-TIC. I never called you a communist, but "the elimination of capitalism ", and the idea of wealth distribution of the scale which Alfonso speaks ( which is one of the corner stones of communism ) certainly...

Quote from tatertrader: [B] This is the "meat" of your post? That statement is blatantly absurd it really makes me wonder if have any clue whatsoever? # The only thing that is absurd, is your ability to miss the # meat of my argument once again, even though I have # repeated it...

I have 512 megs of ram. All applications launch significantly faster, even after a fresh boot with no cache. My 2ghz systems has the 15,000 rpm drives, and my 2.2 ghz system as 7200 rpm drives. System performance, in general, is obviously faster on the system with the fast drives...

The bush tax plan was not what I was debating specifically. I'm debating high taxes in general, which you seem to support. The communist label is not at all rhetoric. It seems to apply quite well. Wealth distrubtion of this scale IS communistic. If the label fits...wear it. In terms of...

Sheeesh.... I'm running 15,000 RPM SCSI drives :D If you wan't to see REAL system performance, IN GENERAL, focus on the harddrives. My applications launch so fast, you would think they were simply minimized :D I use regular drives for my "low" usage data, and backups, etc. peace...

Axeman: Taking over half your money isnt sucking an individual dry? How about 60%? How about 70%? Crazy. Alfonso: "Are the efforts rewarded? Are you still able to improve -- significantly improve -- the condition of your life? Is there still a surplus of value left for you? Obviously yes...

If you guys really dont think 60-70% tax rates for the rich is fair, YOU can pay the difference. Put up or shut up. Next tax season I want to see you turn in 80-90% of your gross income so you are not fricken hypocrites :D peace axeman

You claim Bush skews the numbers, and you turn around and do exactly the same thing. Quoting absoute numbers is totally meaningless. The rich pay a disproportionate amount of taxes, and when there is a tax cut, they are going to save a disproporionate amount as well. It's only fair...

Nice stats but I still see no " wind fall". "Don't believe me? - go to Russia and try to set up shop. I've done that too. I know of what I speak. " This is the same tired argument. Things are worse elsewhere, so they must be OK here. "Bush's plan to scrap taxes on dividends would...
