  1. Isn't anyone making more than 400k a specific group of people??? SEMANTICS teh SUX meh
  2. You want me to believe the brackets apply to everyone? So how do the brackets apply to someone making 14K the same as someone making 1.5M; other than just the lower bracket because the higher bracket doesn't apply to anyone but those "specific" people. I don't disagree that people making huge amounts can't pay more tax; but some look at it like it's unfair to be successful. Not me, I'm comfortably under the highest bracket
  3. I agree with you to a certain extent. but aren't most hedgefund investors leaning toward the greed side?? Again, why do you believe a marginal tax rate doesn't only apply to a specific group? http://www.econlib.o...alTaxRates.html and now back to your previous topic of flood control :E
  4. Here's a silly article to read: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/01/venture-capitalist-says-war-on-the-rich-is-like-nazi-germanys-war-on-the-jews/283347/ I just know you'll love it. Is this what you mean by marginal rate?:::: http://www.investorwords.com/2951/marginal_rate.html It seems to be silly to leave out the word "tax" in there.
  5. Actually it is exactly that. It is a tax on higher incomes.
  6. You mean rifle scope or just a visual assessment of the church property
  7. But you don't agree with antisemitism either; right? I think that might have been part of the tax problem in Nazi Germany. Excessive tax on specific groups.
  8. Ate way to much smoked brisket. DAMN YOU REFLUX Are there Dickey's BBQ restaurants in the midwest?
  9. Depends on your point of view. No, not gas chamber worse. I thought you were referencing the taxes in Nazi Germany not the whole clusterf#@k.
  10. There's a buncha millionaires in the Senate and House who have worse ideas than that.
  11. Wealth reflects intelligence? I think I can safely point out numerous politicians that proves weath=intelligence is incorrect.
  12. I'm not disagreeing with you but what's the solution besides penalizing the most wealthy; possibly some whom have even "worked" for it. ps I'm not wealthy
  13. Proves it. They aren't CEO's cause they're stupid. How many tv/film moguls and celebrities donated to Obama's campaign or provided public service statements. They want something too.
  14. Do you mean that even Democrat billionaires like Soros or Bloomberg invest rather than give it all up??
  15. So you say democrats aren't greedy?? And some may even be Christian.
  16. Nice. I've got one Damascus knife. Third row down in the gallery. 1st and 2nd are very nice looking. btw: I edited the bad word
  17. Where did the Christian GOP thing come from. Feelin' guilty?
  18. Most of NOLA was not "depending on the Gov" There are a ton of 'working poor' people who work at least as hard as you do, with a lot less to show for it, and often receive nothing from the gov. And what little they had was destroyed, with no money to 'get out of town' to go.... where? Packing up and leaving the state for a few days, with a cost in the thousands of dollars is simply not an option. Try walking in someone else's shoes. You want to blame someone, blame American Business Culture. Make money for the top dogs and stock holders while the Gov picks up part of the employees' tab to get by, to protect those profits rather than pay living wages. So don't assign any culpability to the government. Wow Culpability to what? More than one idea in there. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/12/justice/louisiana-nagin-convicted/ When government officials are more worried about their own income than that of their constituency; there might be a problem. Grading the response of NOLA government officials both past and present for emergency response planning and implementation: http://www.chron.com/news/hurricanes/article/New-Orleans-strayed-from-evacuation-plan-1491205.php

  20. ..........UPDATE...........SoKal....... My motherinlaw has been living with us for approx a year now. But she was dutifully paying her verizon and other utilities on time. My wife and one of my sisterinlaw's(power of attorney, executor) of her estate decided to cancel her verizon fios phone/tv/internet service. Freakin' verizon sold her a MI424WR 2 years ago for her system. She had one tv and phone in the same room. Anyway, I grabbed said router and after much hemming and hawwing. VOILA. faster than a speeding Tmagic, more powerful than a Cross fire Anybody wanna buy a Linksys AC1750?
