  • Oh great, the Republicans want a FLAT TAX

    Just read this in the NY Times. FDR is rolling in his grave.

    That'll bankrupt the country for sure. Why do Republicans hate America so much?
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

      Yeh, like the NYT is plugged into the GOP.

      Let's wait until a respectable publication gives the details.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Hullo.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
        Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            It's actually rather true. I forget which article I was reading, but there was talk back in September that Bush supports a flat national sales tax to replace the income tax. In response to probable replies, I could be, and hope I am, wrong.

                The risk of you getting cheaper whiskey seems rather big and looming ATM.

                  I said world peace and cheaper whiskey, not and/or. What's the odds of world peace when the whiskey is cheap and I have to play the wild rover?

                            It'll be a step towards freedom - my main concern about Bush, currently, now that it looks like Ashcroft and Ridge and Rumsfeld are on the way out, is who he will appoint to the courts.

                            I still won't really be pro-Bush, but I will agree that he is a better choice than Kerry.

                              A properly structured flat tax could be a good thing. I'll have to wait to see an actual proposal before i comment on it.
