    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    There are plenty of things to say. First, that the democratic party should have just played by the rules and took the candidate with the most delegates because they got the same feared outcome. You could say that, Al Gore would then have lost twice and maybe he'll now get it. You could say, the...

    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    Not if they needed votes from the African American community! :)

    dual 30" monitor set up

    Giving the respect he deserves. You might want to PM, gnome. As a server level guy, and having monitored much of his advice on this site, I'll tell you that you won't find many (if any) better. :)

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Agreed! We just have a basic difference of which end of this elephant to eat first. I would vote for the spending end to best stop the hemmoraging. Then we can have a better grasp on optimizing the way to take in monies. In blocking up the outflows, should some political type find a way to...

    Oddly enough, he says no. He'd not have an issue with taxes if he felf that he was seeing the positive results (whatever that means). And I really don't think it realistic that we'd care or expect to have NO TAXES at all. Isn't that the system that has the third world, the third world? You need...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Ok, I'll try this again. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THE PREMISE THAT COLLECTING TAXES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW THEY ARE SPENT. It should!! It is the disconnection that allows the current unballanced conditions to be perpetual. They need to understand that if the existing tax, Fair tax, Flat...

    True, it was not his plan. But the fact that it cost $22 million doesn't mean it's right either. Hmm, ok. The feeling is that the tax, no matter how small, is too much for those with limited incomes. My dad feels that he has never been given an equal shot at the ring and that now in his later...

    But that IS the problem! Enough wouldn't save or invest. And many who would, wouldn't have the kind of success that they planned for. There exists a mindeset in my community that we need to enjoy the fruits NOW! Live the good life ASAP would be the battle cry for many. So many wouldn't be...

    At this point, a fivefold increase would require me to add no temporary workers as I have enough surplus capacity now. And that temporary position would be considered one of those low paying temporary jobs with no future. It was mostly manual labor. And it didn't afford the guy any ability to...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Revenue neutral? Ok, so what will they do with the collected taxes? Isn't the government spending ~ the collected taxes? The two are connected no matter how we want to deny it. The government can only spend because it collects taxes. I believe a lot of the trouble comes from the disconnect that...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Hmmm, all that spending is not improving his savings, investments, or any rainy day cushions. All you see here is the economic boost? That does not do anything for the person and the climb on the economic bases. And that's where the education needs to be. That's where the true grey area is here...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    And you honestly believe that the states will take less with the increased needs that they claim that aren't being met now? There's always a reason to spend more. Modernization, replacement, past raises now available to be advanced. Something will always need more money. If no more than to now...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Bottle water, another adult beverage tax increase, city parking tax increase, and anything else that they can tax. We have a huge illegal alien population using city services. The county hospital budget is just deplorable. And they're expecting a sizable raise this year since they've only taken...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    Good you understand it, because I don't. Are we implying here that they currently don't pay taxes on the purchases at Wendy's because they are illegal or visitors to the country? What happens when they see the taxes as just too much to spend there? Is there a business supplement if they can show...

    I dsagree, there are many social programs that, in their opinion, have been woefully underfunded for a long time. In Chicago alone, I can identify several programs that would happily love to have their budgets doubled to just get a handle on how much they really need. And that's just to stop the...

    Having read it, I do not agree with some of the positions and projections. And having spoken to Mr. Boortz personally, face-to-face, and raising some questons as they pertained to his plan, I am not impressed. After my fully laying out my fellow African Americans' postions and factoring in what...

    Interesting debate here. First, what if he didn't create new jobs at a government acceptable rate? What if he just became more efficient and spent less? There's always a rub from folks who don't understand many business models that never comes to a complete agreement of the right way to go about...

    I'm tired of IRS paperwork every year -- We Need a Change Now!

    I don't think the Fair/Flat tax systems will ever work as I think we miss what taxing "TODAY" is truly about. As long as we use the reason for taxing is someone hurting, we'll never see a real balance. Only temporary paper/fictional surpluses. Think about it, if you were in debt last year and in...
