no rebuke at all, trust me it isnt all that interesting, but I do think you would enjoy it because its an argument of policy and not emotion and other stupid shit people vote on.
true enough, i do love policy discussions, but i am so poor with numbers that i am troubled and bored by discussing it. i do know i will take any argument for less taxing of anything, no matter what it is. we should be in a bloody battle to restrict the revenue and therefore power of the horrible government at all times.
I once thought that a national ID card was the embodiment of Big Brother. Now with much superficial privacy already gone by the wayside anyway due to the power of computers and the internet I see a secure National ID as an enhancement of national security, an impediment to illegal immigration, a fast-track through transportation security, protection against identity theft, and assistance to law enforcement. As for income taxes . . . income is income. Those that earn their money from investments should pay the same taxes as those who earn their income from salaries and business profits.
I believe as it relates to Capitol gains, everything you own either for business, pleasure or personal use is considered a Capitol asset. When you sell that asset the difference you sell it for is a Capitol gain or loss. So if you buy a piece of property for cheap and later down the road someone wants to give you more than what you paid you pay Capitol gains, as much as 28% if you own it less than a year.....somewhat less if you own it more than a year. I could be wrong, but I doubt it, so I must be right.
so martin, now that you are back from the tiny and cold nation of iceland, what did you think? i loved it. its weird and volcanoey and the women are hot and its always nightime and the people there love me because i dress nice with proper shoes and dont run off all loud with white running shoes like american tourists. also i am pale and have blue eyes so they speak to me in icelandic first because i look like them. one thing i had forgotten is that only americans use the word "dude". if i drunkenly say "look at that dude", the the europeans all laugh and then mock it in a fake american accent "haha luke ad thaat dood" and that makes me laugh. also, as i may have noted earlier, icelanders take credit for discovering america, and they are correct. also eurpeans want to know about hrricane sandy and i tll them category 1 hurricanes are for pussies and they seem to enjoy that i tell them that sandy is media driven and overblown.
