    That in effect would be a higher tax increase than just going back to the 1999 levels. Ok with me but will that raise a lot of money? As far as "biggest" do you mean that as in dollars or numbers. I would think tightening up GE would bring in a lot more dollars Never happen and you know it I believe this will happen BUT where do you draw the line John? People that have $XXX in retirement funds don't get all there S.S.? Who the hell do you trust with THAT decision. If (I don't know) you had paid in your entire life to S.S. and had a 401K that you matched....and the total was $XXX then the gov should cut the amount of S.S. you get by X% to fund people who DIDN'T save outside of S.S. How long for everyone stops paying into a 401K (for example) when they realize the gov is going to take part of it to fund the people that didn't bother?

    Cut EVERY PROGRAM 10%. Freeze spending at that level, adjust only for inflation End the intrest deduction on homes, (close obvious loop holes) We Americans have to understand that WE ALL benifited in some ways form the spending and now WE ALL have to pay. I believe we don't need to raise taxes, we aren't going to be able to TAX our way out of this mess. We have a progressive tax rate, it should stay in place- BUT no tax cuts!

    I assume that this is a reference to when “under god” was added. I know better than to draw this line….but what is some of the people here are always saying. “Slavery was legal at one time” Just because “under god” was added it doesn’t make it wrong, just as when slavery was legal didn’t make it right.

    Not to many years ago Japan was going to own the world, now China. I agree that every country that was at the top goes down. For selfish reasons (my children) I hope that the USA will go for a bit more though.......... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    $20 or so...doesn't matter if its 3-6 jumps. FWIW I never cock my pilot chute, I do unstow my slider, and without fail I set my brakes. For me the packers attitude has a lot to do with it but I won't use a packer with a pissy attitude. I tend to find a packer I like and tip the hell out of them and tell them thanks, maybe a beer at the end of the day. For that I expect to make the loads I tell them about, and get a "your welcome" with a smile when I say "thanks". If I have a reserve ride I expect concern and a question of what kind it was - and that's it. (I pay for the reserve re-pack) My "friends" give me hell cause I haven't packed in prob 6 years or so. Packers make my limited time at the dz all the more enjoyable. God bless tham Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    John likes to joke but obviously two groups will open more slots up. I have no idea how many big way folks would pony up the money to try and do both, of that group how many would BOTH organizing groups accept? Of the established performers it MIGHT be a little easier to get a slot in either group than say in the past. While there will be a strict (I bet) selection process for both groups you might also see a little more "customer attitude" for the very high end big way jumper. There just aren't enough avaliable to have the rough attitude of that past. IMO As far as success, I wouldn't bet against EITHER organizing group.

    Although he claimed the guy was moving and you can't see what happens on the video...I'd have to say he could have most likely not shot him again. The entire thing was on video so shooting him to keep him from testifying against him doesn't seem to hold water. I have zero sympathy for crooks and killing him doesn't bother me one little bit but the threat looks over and he wasn't carrying a gun (I believe) Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Sure that could happen but TSR made it and so did the Phonix... the drama of the whole thing seems to be ending anyway. I think BJ's 444 is prob more realistic to go to - from 400....but if he get's that how many people will go after the 500 a year later? The money and TIME off is going to be high for either group Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Great post.... What is nuts is that the rest of us have no problem with the "jet pilots" flying with us...although most of use are flying 182...in the pattern Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Kallend, I've always appreciated the way you listen to my view, thought it over and the neatly told me I was a dumb ass. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Naaa I heard from my brothers pet dog that he was a skinny guy and he turned sideways ( what a sneaky little basterd) and the SECOND count was that they ONLY hit him 59 times because all these sorry cops were to busy laughing as he begged for his life in front of his little child.... But that was from a pet dog............ Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Naaa because it FITS the fucking story they want to believe. For example...they shoot 70 times and HIT HIM 60 times but he didn't die right away......RIGHT....... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Yeah well I was with you on one, and a nice calm voice in the back helped what got me was the number of people that went straight there reserve from no lower than 1,700 feet. (and I think higher) When I ask one why they had selected to go straight to there reserve from that altitude I was told straight faced with total belief "Because reserves never fail" Holy cow........

    What, you didn't recieve the pre-paid tickets and $500 cash for accepting one? You must be slipping! Amazing there are two events in play. In the end it will be great for big ways. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    John would you mind telling me the source for this stat? I'd like to study it. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    That is correct sir...and you are smart enough to do simple math and capable of understanding that human nature being what it is you have to get it from the mass....and that is middle class. We spend to much, we owe to much. The "rich" of which you are part of...are going to pay more (I know that you don't care) BUT the middle class is going to take it up the ass to and some D.A.'s here are just to fucking stupid to see or do simple math. You of course are not stupid your just a R.O.B. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
  21. mirage62
    ROTFLOL, right. John your way to smart to tell anyone at dz.com your real thoughts on much of anything. All three of my kids have worked here. (One is here now) All three started at min. wage, the most they got paid above min. wage was .50 AND being the bastard I am I took - yes took - HALF of there earnings and put it in saving which they recieved at 18. So forgive me my OLD friend if you have answered this...it the inheritance tax started at dollar one would you be ok with it being 40%? So I stand corrected you actually just a OLD BASTARD Love fr Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    I'm not "super rich" but I don't believe that I should be paying more OR the fellow above me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just the people below you then... *** Lol Damn man, you have no idea how I got what little I may or may not have but you seem to just believe that if someone has a pot to piss in that they just want to screw the other guy. Your veiws are sad and shallow, and it appears you can't believe that anyone that doesn't feel the need to give more to the gov can be a decent person.

    +1 It is there as a bonus, a "gift" from the gov to make it a better thing to have a house. It is of course not the reason to have one. It should go away and use the moeny to pay down debt...but that wont happen Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

    Typical attitude of the good troll. You can't really answer anything but you can keep it stired up. No kidding you've done good. I work through college, paid back my student loans, worked in a family business. Purchased that from my father when he passed. I employee 32 people. I pay lot's of taxes. Most of what you come up with wouldn't effect me. I'm not "super rich" but I don't believe that I should be paying more OR the fellow above me. Your after the Gates of the world not me....but your idea's are paid for by Gates...they are paid for by guys like Bill Vonn and his wife, me...and the middle class and THAT is killing the middle class.

    I only got one AFTER I found you had one...and YOU'VE had yours a long time. That makes you a RICH....OLD.....bastard. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
