I have a very good friend who works for the world bank...and has he put it to me when baby bush came into office and started mucking around with the tax codes and making things more apparent.... The rich will get richer. The poor will die. And the middle class can just move to Mexico. That is to say he couldn't think of a better place to be rich than the US or a worse place to try and break past the wealth barrier. And further more that the rich and the well to do really don't need the middle class for anything let alone to buy any products which their investments produced in SEA. SEA will consume SEA products at a good margin. Mind you not a great margin as when they are sold to the middle class in the US but a good enough margin such that they can continue to live a great life. So with that you can scream at the system till you spew blood and shout at the heavens for justice....but let's face it....the rich are in charge and they plan on doing one thing and one thing only...not only surviving but increasing their wealth. And there is NOTHING any one here can do about it! So good luck defending the rich thinking one day you will have that kind of money.....yeah right....and good luck screaming about the tools at their disposal to protect and increase their wealth......because those tools and tactics are not going anywhere!

Yeah I know just didn't want you to get tagged by the mods for a personal attack. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

You leave yourself open to it every time you brag about yourself, which is often. Try being a little more humble. Besides, I'm just letting you know that the average woman isn't turned on by that look. What ever......(rolls eyes) But i found these to be comfy but a bit spendy. Worth the money if you ride and skydive. But just for skydiving? Maybe not. For a N00B who does a good bit of but slides and PLF's it was nice to have a little bit of padding around the hips. Hope this helps!

Handed the kid a bottle of deodorant? A bit rude...but wow this morning when I walked in my eyes were watering from smelling this kid. Yeah your usual unwashed engineer carries around a good cloud of funk but man what this kid emits from his pours can be classified as a WMD! Thank god I work in a different part of the building.

You are delusional. The only people who would appreciate you being in those shorts are homosexual men. Hey if i'm gay hot that me i'm fracking hot as hell! But thanks for starting the Shah bashing....back on topic...yeah they are super comfy and the padds are in all the right places and you don't get monky but or gamey balls.

As many know I'm not racists I just hate engineers of all races and religions. And by hate I'm not talking about just ignoring them I'm talking I'm thinking of burning calculus books in front of their homes kind of hate. Like the "Hey dumb ass I can export your job to SEA for 1/4th the pay and get a better result with none of the smell" kind of hate. And I know not all engineers deserve this level of visceral dislike after all I am an engineer and I'm freaking dead sexy as hell and I know a few engineers who look me in the eyes when they talk to me and I respect.... So that aside my new years resolution was to read one book a month and not be mean to engineers....I have failed that one book a month thing rather well. And I'm trying really hard to not fail at the engineering thing...case in point I have stopped calling the + size engineering girls with their gaggle of dumb ass engineering on their 6 "Chalupas" And I was fine until this past week......we got a stinky one...oh yeah a white guy who loves his curry and bollywood...hey when you are being held hostage long enough Stockholm syndrome kicks in..... Thank god he is not in my division but man his smell is.....shower up white boy...and going into the bathroom after him...you would think someone half fucked a camel and ate curried death. Now usually seeing such a nice target of opportunity I would pounce...you know leaving those little pine tree car de stinkafiers all over his cube and or maybe leaving him some deodorant on his desk....but I'm really trying to stick with this resolution because let's be honest being mean to a group of people is kind of wrong.... So if you were me....and you were trying not to be mean...what would you do? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Stand back boys and watch this... http://www.dirtrider.com/drtested/141_0910_dr_tested_alpinestars_comp_pro_short/index.html I rock these and let me tell you the ladies love the look when I'm just wearing these while packing my parachute. The boys are on display but they are held in place all without causing gamy balls! Furthermore the padding around the hips and tail bone make any seat in any aircraft somewhat comfortable!

Dude that is the lamest freaking spin i have ever been exposed to! Do you really think people are dumb enough to fall for that shit! Get off the computer and go get some fresh air! WTF!

Coorperate rading is "smart" well smart for him and his kind but not so good if it was your job that was shipped off to SEA and the guy still got taxed at a lower rate than you even after you lost your job! HA! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Change the tax code Really and who has the power to do that? The middle class or the guy who has so much money in influence that his tax rate is only....13.9% Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

YES! But let's do this right.... let's change income to say worth? IF you are worth say $250mill....yeah pay a bit more say 30% since we can't tax you let's get our money the other way? So that way those in the middle class can leverage low interst money to invest in markets and or start a new business? Thoughts? OH yeah i'm not a jellocrat!

Tax day is in a month or so right? Well when you pay that tax bill think about how much you are paying for your hard work and how much this guy made on his investments.....and then wonder who worked hared for their income?

Complain about IRS rules if you will, not those that play by the rules. I am....and asking "WHO THE FUCK WROTE THOSE RULES!" Look I'm sorry boys and girls of the GOP but really this is your boy wonder? A guy who has no connection to the average middle class fuck? HA! Look don't get me wrong I'm not a huge fan of Obama and his inability to lead anything but...wow this is the best you got! A guy who has enough cash and influence to twists the rules of the land to not only benefit him but to give him a huge windfall! Yeah we may be ok with open marriages and even look the other way with respect to this guy being a Mormon and having to wear "special" undergarments! But someone who uses his influence and finances to cheat....that one we may have a small issue with!

Gingrich revealed his 2010 tax returns last week, which showed that the former House speaker made more than $3.1 million and paid nearly $1 million on his earnings, with an effective tax rate of 31 percent, the rate for the top one percent of earners.

25% of my income. It's not about $$ rather it's about %%% Don't ever think that you can spin shit like that on me! DO I LOOK LIKE one of those spinless gutless POS Jellocrats? http://news.yahoo.com/mitt-romney-reveals-tax-records-paid-3m-taxes-221209778--abc-news.html;_ylt=AlsLe7EEhy0IQ16Gqcd4T2Cs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNtaW5oMWZqBG1pdANKdW1ib3Ryb24gRlAEcGtnA2VhMjllY2Y1LTljODUtMzEzZi05MzYxLTA4ZTZkZWZmZGFjMwRwb3MDMQRzZWMDanVtYm90cm9uBHZlcgMzNmZkZDNmMi00NjlmLTExZTEtYjY5Ni03OGU3ZDE1ZDNjMWM-;_ylg=X3oDMTFvdnRqYzJoBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25zBHRlc3QD;_ylv=3 Mitt Romney earned $21.7 million in 2010 and paid nearly $3 million in taxes at a rate of slightly less than 14 percent, according to an early preview of the documents provided by the Romney campaign to several media outlets early Tuesday morning. A majority of Romney's income was derived from investments rather than a yearly fixed salary, which is why the former governor paid a lesser effective tax rate than those in his income category. So the more more you have the more money you make? So if you draw the math equation if you had infinite money you pay 0% tax? Hum....which DUMB FUCK thought that was a good idea!

I live in NJ and between education and home I get down to about 25% on a good day. No way no how could I get down to 15%. I was at that when I was a summer intern living at my parents house in upstate NY making $1k a month! It would be nice to be at 15%. Think of all that money the middle class could use to bring the economy back to life! But no no no it's ok....we'll keep giving it to guys who use it to invest in SEA! Google Foxcon and see how much venture $$ goes into that little sweat shop and what their suicide rates are. Look I'm not hating him for being rich, I'm hating him for he has the means and the way to protect more of his assets than the rest of us do. How about a nice "Square Deal"?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16696347 Yeah The Rich Have It All....NO really they actually have it all and they have taxes lower than those making minimum wage! I'm not envious of his success I'm envious he get's taxed so low and if I were to walk away from my condo and have no deductibles my state and federal taxes would shoot up to 35% But I have a choice, I can sit here and get pissed and give myself an ulcer but what would that accomplish? Not like the world is ever going to change? So enjoy boys and girls! Enjoy! And good luck defending this one! It's kind of like occupying wallstreet so that they could be less regulated and make more money off of your 401k or protesting for war....all things the GOP actually has done!

Well the people such as me have the jobs and have the income it's just that the value of their homes has tanked. So....instead of throwing good money after bad if the agreement can be brokered and modified such that less good money is thrown into the hole while investor requirements are met all the while freeing up middle class capital to be utilized to either pay down high interest debt or to buy goods and services thus generating more revenue both for the private and public sectors the economy may start moving again. Spending money creates more money. Paying off an underwater asset....does not. But again this is all from a phone conversation and I for one am seriously holding my breath. This would really save me a good bit of money and allow me to pay down either my student loan debts or my mortgage much much faster! For others this could mean "hiring" that guy to fix a given problem in the house or upgrading a kitchen...which in effect help grow our economy. Can you tell....though I'm an engineer I absolutely love economic theory! I do need to brush up on my micro since I'm still not 100% with elastic and inelastic demand but macro....wow! I

I'm sorry I can't seem to find a link but that is what I was told by my mortgage guy on the phone. This is good for me because this means I don't have to put any money down to get my LTV to the required 130% since I'm well over that. So I have put my refinance plans on hold for another 40 days until this comes about. As for the economic aspects of this, this frees up vast quantities of money NOW which has more power to generate jobs NOW than if the money were spread across the decades. First rule of economics / finance....money today is worth more than money tomorrow. And in this case we are talking 30+ years from now. As such the freed money can be utilized to generate revenue both for private and public sectors and maybe....just maybe...help our GDP grow and maybe just maybe induce a bit more spending by the middle class to create jobs. And thank you for keeping the talk purely economic based. Yes there is a political component but let's talk economics theory/practice. Thank you. And I for 1 am keeping my fingers crossed for this so that I can pay down my debt faster on my condo! Then turn a liability into an asset!

When did they start hiring economists? I just got off the phone with my mortgage broker, sadly I've lost a solid $100k in value off my condo which I paid $300k for 5 years ago, the guy initially wanted $325k and I told him to frack off. Any how long story short, Freddie Mack and Fannie May are in the process of....and I hope I have this right because I can't seem to find any info at the moment on the subject.....rewriting policy such that 1) If you have a credit score of greater than 700 2) History of employment of 1 year 3) Can demonstrate via finances that your mortgage consumes more than 51% of your income. They will allow you to refinance at the new lower rates. Now I don't want to argue politics though I know many do I want to talk economics. Economics this is the equivalent of sticking a shot of adrenaline in the heart! IF it is true and IF it does work not only will it free up a good amount of capital which people can utilize to pay down their debts and then buy goods and services but it may help the economy get out of its funk! I for one am very impressed by such a bold action by the federal government. For not only will this help the average joe who's home has lost significant value and who feels they are just throwing good money after bad but will also help the financial sector grow since more people will have to be hired for processing of these newly formed mortgages. It may not be a cure all but economically speaking...it's a nice idea! And please temper your political spin and let's focus on economic theory/practice/strategy, thank you. ps for me it would me at the new low rate I may have as much as $300 more a month which I would utilize to pay down my debt....like a good American should.

It takes a man with lots of balls to confront such a "handsome" woman and tell her that he wants to introduce a much hotter woman into the relationship. In my short 35 year life I've only seen two guys pull off this "Open" relationship thing. One guy is really fracking rich and well his wife doesn't give a dam. She gets off on buying shit. And the other guy....well he's all cock and balls lives near NYC and his wife is not big on going out so...he does and enjoys his time away.

Like tax the hell out of the SOB once he makes more than $1million per year and take that tax money and maybe hire a few more teachers? OMG yeah I said that...hire more teachers and police officers!

You know this reminds me of affirmative action. At some point there needs to be something put in place to forcibly level out the playing field. Let's face it the tools and strategies that someone like Romney can buy are well beyond what any middle class dick can buy. As such over the long run he and his kind pull ahead and mass fortunes that baring a serious hooker and blow addiction will do nothing but grow and grow and grow. Now what middle class dick has a chance at any of that? Answer? NONE! You just hope you do. Odds are it will never ever happen to you and thus the middle class will continue to fall ever further behind. And unlike france where a few thousand of the top 1%'ers had their heads forcibly removed from their heads.......it won't happen here in the US. Because thought people like this make a shit load of money, you and I also make a little bit of money from their investments. And if they are killed off in effect we are killing off our little returns on our investments. And no one is ready to make that kind of sacrifice. Yet! But I hope to see this guy run for office. Sure Obama isn't much to look at but a rich white northern prick who knows how to run the tax and finance system to make a quarter of a billion dollars Vs. the middle class guy who went to a state school and who though has no idea how to lead a nation appears to be someone normal folks can relate to! The Occupy guys and gals are going to ass rape this dumb ass with a chain saw! Look I'm not jeleous of the guy if he made his money the honest way as in he worked for it. I don't mind getting rich but i just don't want to do it on the backs of old ladies. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

SHUT UP YOU COMMUNIST! STAND THERE LOOK UP AND OPEN YOUR MOUTH SO YOU CAN BE TRICKLED ON LIKE A GOOD AMERICAN! Well no worries... One day I hope to have money stored in the Cayman Islands http://news.yahoo.com/romney-parks-millions-offshore-tax-haven-160547876--abc-news.html Although it is not apparent on his financial disclosure form, Mitt Romney has millions of dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven. GOD I LOVE THIS GUY! Please sir piss on us please piss on all of us! Piss down so that we may drink up and one day hope and dream of having an equitable tax code that does not fuck the middle class up the ass!
