Go Donald!!!

I've started a new discussion about the FairTax here:

Is this similar to pig latin, without the rules.

Hello Term2

"leet" is the self styled nickname for the twitch gaming kiddies.

They continually misspell words and consider themselves elite in the gaming world....not sure if its ignorance, indifference, "coolness" or what. Leads to some cryptic messages in games.

Elite = Leet or L33T when a twitch gamer types it.
Newbie = N00B!!11
Own = pwn
and others of course.

So...

Owned you stupid newbie, I am elite

becomes

Pwnd u stopd n00b!!1 m l33t

Dont worry- he wont get my vote. Unfortunately that might mean you will be stuck with him, as I left NJ a long time ago for the relative but fleeting freedom in Nevada. Maybe he will wiind up on Real Husbands of New Jersey, where he belongs.

With you on this. I tried, I really, really tried.

Trust Me, we don't want Chris Christie. New Jersey is still BROKE and he has failed to improve the JOBS situation in the state while many Business Owners and Producers who employ people continue to leave the state for lower taxes elsewhere. Our Property Taxes are the Highest in the Nation on Average...

I don't trust a Federal government that still has a legal right to demand a tax on income enough to allow a tax on consumption in addition. Unless the 16th amendment is abolished, it's a certainty that income tax will creep back into the picture. The Fair tax is a great idea in principle, but trying to implement it without doing the tough work up front is inviting trouble. How invasive of individual privacy would the government have to be to verify the number of claimed household residents? Off the books deals exist in the EU to avoid paying VAT today, so don't think they won't exist if the Fair tax comes into being. I'm not opposed to a consumption tax, but I find some of the delusional thinking about how perfect and easy such a system will be at the base of what makes people skeptical.

The government should be in the insurance business really as far as national defense and personal rights defense is concerned. Therefore, there should be a premium per person for personal rights protection, and probably some sort of premium to protect oneself and ones property from invasion from other countries (which is not covered by regular insurance). That way we would be paying for something of tangible value.

Accounting is important to any business actually, and would be MORE useful if it didnt have to be saddled with adherence to IRS rules.

What has she done after HP? Nothing. Now wants to be a career politician. NO way. She doesnt get my vote.

Donald Trump. Rand Paul , (almost) Ben Carson. I say almost because of the religious nonsense he spouts. The rest of them are either out and out religious zealouts, idiots, or career politicians who have outlived their usefullness.

If thats really true, maybe the people who GET the jobs should have to repay the debts used to obtain those jobs. I wonder if the cost of providing the jobs is higher than the actual wages paid to the people? I suspect that it is.

I kind of liked Christy's outspoken-ness. UNTIL hurricane Sandy came to his state and he cried to Obama to give him OUR money (I live in Nevada). That was IT for me liking Christy.

I get tired of listening to "talking points" over and over. All I care about is the government getting smaller and taking less of my money.

I considered myself brave to watch the first half hour. I re-watched "Guardians of the Galaxy" instead.

Yeah.....ho-hum....

Carson, Cruz, Fiorina, Paul. I know. It's four.

We tried a flat tax, we had it in the 80s. That did not last.
Name one potential for fraud that you can see with the pre-date. Everyone gets exactly the same amount based on the number of occupants in their household. Unless you are creating imaginary people, what other kind of fraud can there be?

It Would work just fine without repealing the 16th amendment, but a major goal of the fair tax movement is to abolish the IRS, and prevent the possibility of ever having an income tax again. This is because an income tax is inherently immoral. It is entirely unavoidable as a consequence of living. In our division of labor economy, one cannot live without earning an income. One can live, however, without purchasing new items. Therefore, a final retail sales tax (that includes the prebate for poverty-level spending) is the closest to the ideal of a voluntary tax as I have ever heard proposed. While Paul's Flat Tax may be easier to achieve, it has the same ethical issues as our current system.

We should not give up on an ideal because it is politically expedient.
