I'm amazed that all you can do is tell me to read the book. The book is not the bill before congress, it is HR25 and the corresponding Senate bill. So, tell me what page in "the book" counters what I've posted about buying a house or paying a large medical bill or why the proponents included...

Old posts are followed by current posts that will be made into old posts by future posts. If that made sense, please resume drinking and watch football to see if anyone kicks it through the goal posts.

Really, I posted some specifics that you failed to present a counter argument for other than "read the book". Now really is that a way to defend something I presume you know something about. Tell us why it makes sense for the Feds to tax their own purchases as called for in HR25. EG-Let's...

Most of the 20 countries went to a VAT because of massive fraud and to prevent cascading which is taxes on taxes. Dick Armey, who IMO, has a better approach, ie a flat tax, wrote this a while back. It is a nice summary of why a very high national sales tax won't work...

Don't know about them loopholes but those are some loopy dudes:)

I've no plans to do that and I've read HR25. Why has this been tried in 21 countries and failed? 20 of those countries had it morph into a VAT. The book was written by zealots favoring HR25; I like to learn from history so we don't repeat its mistakes.

No, that's considered cruel and unusual punishment".

But you will pay a tax on: Purchases of new homes Rent Interest on credit cards, mortgages and car loans Doctor bills Utilities Gasoline (30 percent in addition to current taxes, which would not be repealed) Legal fees Police and fire protection and lots more. Just think, you check...

Pelosi announced her selections for the "SUPER DUPER FIX ALL THINGS COMMITTEE" and in the announcement stated: " ...will focus on economic growth & job creation--which reduces deficit." Sounds like she is not even considering cutting much of the useless spending that exists and is hoping...

Another on point definition of loophole: "A provision in the laws governing taxation that allows people to reduce their taxes. " Incoming search terms: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tax+loophole How do you know you've met a good tax accountant? He has a loophole named after...

None of these are CREDITS-were you trying to play the manipulation game by mis-stating what these are? They are provisions in the tax code that help people avoid paying taxes and through common useage have become known as "loopholes" even by President Obama when he refers to the section of the...

IMO, this is based on the false premise that a balanced budget can not be reached without raising taxes as President Obama is constantly reminding us. Balance can be reached by reducing the size and scope of Government, reducing ineffective expenditures, and rewriting the tax code so it does...

My friend who owns the ranch and I will drink to that next time we get together. :D

Great movie and about as close to being there as one can get. S

Count me in for prayers.

Sad, but true. Maybe they will stop my favorite useless program: The Mohair Subsidy. One of my friends claims he gets about $20K a year from this; helps with the bills on his 1200+acre "ranch," EG-as he says it covers his beer bill, especially when I visit. From Wikipedia: "During World...

Nice job of evading my request for specificity. The mission had many similarities to the OBL mission: NIGHT STALKERS flew the helicopter. SEALS and a dog were aboard to carry out the mission. It was done at night. It was flown in known unfriendly territory. Target was an enemy leader...

SEALS and NIGHT STALKERS or for that matter any soldier in a combat zone has the other side shooting back. At least that is how the wars I've read about work. I don't recall the Germans holding their fire at Omaha Beach. If there are better ways of transport, please let us know, and I'll...

We are at war; this is what SEALS and NIGHT STALKERS do for a living.
