    I love the fact they say that, when the money just goes into the coffers like every other bit of tax money. I'm not a fan of the NI system, it is a regressive taxation when you consider the whole picture of it. It should either be evened out to be a bit more equitable or should be reflected in income tax.

        No. It was the result of Congress using the Army Corps of Engineers as a piggy back to fund every possible project they could but flood control.

        For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

          It places a disproportionate burden on those with the least ability to pay...that is what is wrong with regressive taxation. I'd have thought you'd have studied this stuff, having a degree in Economics and all that...

            Or maybe the Army Corps of Engineers were on a tour of duty in Iraq at the time...?
            Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

              I was taught objective things, not brainwashed with left-wing politics of taxation.

                So you just view humans as merely economic units then, yes? I think you've missed the big picture in that case...

                  Only from time to time. I think it would be fairer if everyone paid the same flat rate, regardless of what they earn. If they don't earn enough to pay it, have them work for the government at weekends, digging holes and stuff.

                    And what about work-life balance? Again Stew, I think you are missing the big picture, and the reasons for progressive taxation. I think that it is you who appears to be brainwashed, thinking anything that could be remotely construed as left-wing is evil...

                      Well, left-wing economics is a failure.

                        I'm surprised that in an area where I would have thought you would have been able to demonstrate some level of skill and education, you fail dismally. I would've thought that you'd be able to engage in a pretty decent economics argument, but you're extraordinarily second rate.

                        And speaking of political failures, how are you managing to justify your xenophobic views nowadays?

                          Just imagine if Stewpot hadn't been born with a silver spoon in his mouth - where would he be now...?

                          Didn't his parents pay for his education?

                            They can't have had that much...seems like a pretty second-rate education to me...

                              What xenophobic views? What's a xeno anyway?
