of course i care about u my man! don't mean to patronize here but the "u" in my previous post referred to the USovA...
i don't know dude, i just live there because after living / working in 8-13 countries, i found that thats the one that doesn't suck for a PT like me...
financial markets? i'd trade zimbabwean bonds over US equity any time. at least there's no doubt its all junk and all about insider trading and money management: a real level-playing field
))in any event, i trade the forex. its called london. your 2nd tier and i don't do losers...
ciao pal, pat yrself on the back for charity brownie points all u want, u still suck big time as a country
(ok, except chicago cause my wife wants to move back there... and NY... and Frisco... and Maui... and... ohhh well... where d'u live?)
just one thing though, i don't mind learning from strangers...
watcha mean by "giving some GDP to the world"??? like thats supposed to be a bounty for the rest of the world, artificial growth fuelled by a hyper-massive credit (debt) bubble thats just waiting to burst in yr face??? plse educate me here...
or perhaps u don't mean GDP... what then, birth rate???
At least we agree in that. I live in NY and want to move to HI..kauai north coast.
Anyhow, your doom and gloom bubble bursting scenario has not happened yet. If and when it does you will get a nod from me.
Hey, you are entitled to your opinion about the USA. I agree out govt officials are sharks. I hate them as much as you.
But you cant possibly think the Japanese economy is better off?
Thread...wayyy..offfff....topic.
Let's remove the tax deduction for individuals and corporations for charitable donations, and see how well America does...
Irrelevant. The deductions exist.
with a debt/gdp ratio > 180%, no, its not exactly awesome at a macro-level... having said that things are honestly going ok+ at the micro-level... but yeah, we're digressing...
one thing i always thought was great in the american uni world was the honour system (not unique to the US of course but...)... you guys gotta fight to maintain that, even if there are cheats...
cheers ;-)
Not interested in removing taxes, don't need to regress back to a feudal system...
Very relevant...
We would see genuine charitable contributions if there was not motive for tax deductions and offsetting gains...
Give till it hurts, so let's start the hurtin' with no tax incentives...
