The state can tax anything - even religious corporations no matter when they were founded.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostWho came first? The Church was here before the state was here.
How can the state tax that which it never owned?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Yes, the tax code isn't flawed as long as the entire economy doesn't shut down. That is a very sensible argument.Originally posted by BlackCat View PostComment

In blackie's world, you cannot cause a reduction in investment unless you literally drive rates of return to zero.

To be fair, Buffett's argument is then content-free as well.Originally posted by KrazyHorse View PostI 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.

Yep, it certainly is. What is insanely stupid is to think that taxation kills activity.Originally posted by gribbler View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

By what right? The powers of the state derive from the foundation of the state. The US does not have an established church, ergo they forgo taxation authority over the Church. The Church has been here a very long time.The state can tax anything - even religious corporations no matter when they were founded.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

The US was not the one who granted the land to the Church. Elsewhere, yes, but not here. The rule of law prevents the state from revoking pre-existing contracts.By the rigth of law.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

KH you are clearly an idiot. There are incentives and then there are stupid incentives - you seem to prefer the latter wich doesn't provide anything.Originally posted by KrazyHorse View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

KH, the argument against double taxation is often a fairness argument (it's not fair the government taxes me twice!!) As reasonable economic argument are made I'd be happy to discuss those on said terms
Ultimately corporate and capital gains taxes are incredibly difficult to actually do in a way that is both economically efficient, 'fair', and generate adequate revenue. I don't find it terribly surprising our government has failed to do so, given its own lack of efficiency...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.
