Ok, I'll stay.. It's not plain evil. But it is wrong to have different rules for different people. That's the real discussion. And, I believe,, I'm buying first. ...

Yes, so there is a loophole. If there is a loophole, then the code has something wrong with it that necessitates the loophole. You hate liquid assets. But it's not any of your business what people do with their property. We started this strand by discussion of wanting a simpler tax code with fewer loopholes for everyone. Same rules for all discussed by one side, different rules promoted by the other side. Right now, we are living in the 'different rules' model which we all agree isn't fair. But that's the position you are arguing. It's rather unsettling. I'm not going to trade anymore posts with you until you clean yours up. They aren't profane or anything, but you seem to be getting spun up. So no fun since I really want to discuss rather than push buttons (I do like pushing buttons but not here or now). It was going good, now you just sound angry and bitter. Sorry if I'm wrong, but the written word can be interpreted many ways....

I don't understand your post. Are you agreeing? asking a question? Disagreeing. My apologies, my English isn't so, how you say, elegant. Earlier post was misread about a comment of respecting someone who doesn't deserve it, I only noted that everyone 'deserves' respect for doing their job and not just agreeing with someone's decision isn't really grounds for not respecting them. Turns out CBSKY and I were on the same page and he was just making a point. ...

What policies exempt the little guy in favor of the big guy? It's simple. All this is paid for, Public utilities are paid for from property taxes, airwaves are paid for with advertising budgets. Paid for, not given. You can state we see it differently if you want, but you guys are ignoring my question and answering what you want. I gave a single example and it was a stretch, do you have anything else that's policy/law rather than just market driven through the fair exchange of funds? Edit: the poor don't benefit from national defense? ...

Death tax note - The higher you set the exemption, the bigger the businesses you are supporting. If it's $1M, then the small business owner goes out of business (farmers, shopkeepers). If it's $10M then the medium sized guy goes out of business. Apparently, you only want large multi-billion dollar corporations to do business in this country? (But if you make it too small, then everyone is hurt - so only solution is do away with it). ...

Finally - judge people by their actions and situations, not by some arbitrary definition...... Why do athletes want to be role models for 'young minorities' or 'girls' or 'boys'? Instead why not be a role model for 'kids'? ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Dude, farmers can still barely scrape by and have assets over a million. You think some shopkeeper with a little shop in NYC might have that much in assets also? They might just scrape by? Why keep taxing that money over and over again? It only puts the small timer out of business. And I still don't see that the rich use more of anything that isn't directly paid for. No good examples yet. You are so guilty. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Well, I've never seen so many people with enormous butts as I have in Tennessee, so maybe they need the huge vehicles to haul their huge asses around in. ROFLMAO I don't think anyone was expecting that. People are swinging by to see what's wrong. Blindside humor always catches me off guard. ...

I'm hoping Saturday Night Live does debate spoofs again like the Bush/Gore debates. Now that's funny and even handed. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

So you also disagree with Kallend on the car example. If you can afford the Hummer you do pay more taxes in terms of more gas usage. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Oh, and comparing Al Gore to George. Wasn't Al the one with the lower test scores and the extremely powerful Senator Dad? At the time, G Bush Sen wasn't a real political powerhouse in comparison at all. It applies across the board. ...

I really can't stand the constant applause at these things. Wouldn't it be cool if he came out and said, "Look, we have a lot of work to do, I'm laying out a plan, don't interrupt. When I'm done, let's get to work on it." We really need two strong parties, spending remains out of control any time either is fully in charge. I think it would be worse with one of the dwarves, but it's still out of line. ...

This is all very intangible. Can't work with it. And it is all stuff you pay for, not given to you by the government at the expense of the 'poor'. Not a very good try at all. What formal programs are out there that you 'get' from the government that someone not as financially fortunate as you isn't allowed to participate in? Edit: I admire/respect your logical approach to things, but this topic is disappointing and you are very non-fact/emotionally based. I really thought you would have several concrete examples.

I don't understand what "more respect than they deserve" means..... If these guys are just trying to do their jobs as best they can, then they deserve respect just like you do.

No, this TM 'sounded' like he was working it up too much. But none of us were there. Some TM's can gage their passengers and adjust for the most, some have the same old 'make the passenger scared' crap for every single dive. However, it does sound like he was keeping her attention focused on him instead of other jumpers doing the same junk. It all depends on the TM, are they in it for the passenger or in it for themselves? They are just people and some are good and some aren't. edit: I thought the TM sounded out of line. It's not whether the passenger has a 'sense of humor' either, it's whether the TM can recognize that fact and act accordingly for each passenger. ...
