So, how many tax payers are there in the US anyway?

[Patroklos]

I didn't mention anything about casualties - this is about the financial cost of the war!

There has to be a reason for the comparison, or it is meaningless. So the Iraq war costs more than the Vietnam War, so what? Lots of things cost more than other things. You want it to be a negative, obviously, so you can say Bush is wasting money. There are any number of things I could have used to say just because it costs more doesn't make it a negative, I chose the casualties.

You’re being disingenuous at your motives for posting (not surprisingly) the comparison, though it is interesting how readily you abandon that motive, or rather refuse to clarify/comment on/defend it.

You disagree with the Iraq war, fine. Also a given. However comparing it to the Vietnam War in terms of price is stupid, because the results based on the relative price in the vacuum you created make Iraq a deal

It is much more fun to be a dick, which is what everyone here recognizes you to be. Do you think anyone on this board takes you seriously, on anything?

Crappola like this is the way corporations try to get a free lunch by not having to pay taxes.

That's like me saying, oh don't tax me because if you do, I won't be about to buy stuff from other people...so you're really taxing them.

Corporate taxes tax corporations.

Next!

So if corporate taxes amount to 15% of total revenue, and if the bottom 75% of the tax brackets only pay 15% of the rest, what buy in to most Americans have into the system?

"Blah, blah, blah. My name is Patroklos and I am a ******. Blah, blah, blah..."

When you're done with spouting gibberish and inventing stuff, let me know.

This is about the financial cost of the war, quite why you insist otherwise or say I've changed my mind, or speak for others is beyond me - evidently calling you a ****** was a gross underestimation on my own part...

You're a freak of nature!

"Blah, blah, blah...

So you sticking to the same arguement eh?

At least your consistant, thread to thread.

But for the grownups, does that not seem a little out of proportion, that 75% of the population contributes less than 15% of total tax revenue.

I would hope those numbers come from before Bush's tax cuts, but somehow I doubt it.
