    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    Then the next day they are out pimping VATs, despite it being nothing more than a highly regressive flat tax rate.

    Do you believe it's wrong to hold prejudices?

    The best example of how people are subjective about "prejudice": In 2008, if you voted against Obama because of his color, you were racist. If you voted for him BECAUSE of his color (and many people did), that means you were prejudiced against the white guy because of HIS skin color... yet...

    I'm out of the loop on the gun control debate.

    Please detail the research you did on crime rates and gun ownership levels in various parts of the country, if any.

    I'm out of the loop on the gun control debate.

    Not only do I live in MA, I have a Class A unrestricted LTC in it, one of the hardest to get in this State of Mass Confusion. I listed the others because empirical evidence has long since proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that those areas, despite having the most restrictive gun laws in the...

    Moving my 90 gallon aquarium. What do you all think of it?

    I used to have a 160gal braceless glass tank with a single Buttikoferi in it. Sadly, one day the bottom let go and caused about $15k in damage to my basement. Now, I will never have a tank that I can't lift when it's already full.

    I'm out of the loop on the gun control debate.

    Sorry, I was assuming someone would gather the bare minimum of subject knowledge by themselves before wading in on a such a complicated topic.. Such as what the worst crime areas that also have the most restrictive gun laws are. I'll make sure to lower my expectations even further in the...

    Who still uses Usenet?

    I still frequent several Usenet groups, mostly some of the more active sports ones (Red Sox, Yankees), rec.motorcycles, and of course, I must get my daily Kibology fix.

    I'm out of the loop on the gun control debate.

    Perhaps part of the problem is that people aren't able or willing to admit that despite tens of millions of guns being sold in the past 20 years, gun crime has plummeted? In a more localized and specific example, in the six year span of 2005-2010 over 30M guns were sold in CA alone, yet the...

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    The federal government provides NOTHING on it's own. It only confiscates and redistributes citizen's money because it thinks you and the States are too incompetent to do so on your own.

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    That reinforces my earlier point there that Classical Liberalism was killled off completely by LBJ and his followers who thought that FDR didn't go far enough. Now, if you scratch the surface, you'll find a sickle... and many on the left aren't afraid to trumpet that either.

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    So because they are experts on Nuclear Warfare, we should automatically believe them to be economic PhDs?

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    If that is all you have left in the tank, I will accept that as a concession that you have no valid debate points left and therefore concede the debate.

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    There is plenty, and it was in practice in this country except for three periods: FDR's "recovery" that doubled the length of the Great Depression, LBJ to Carter, and the past half decade. Hell, even JFK knew this: “It is no contradiction – the most important single thing we can do to...

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    I see they still don't teach classical economics in schools, only that new-age Krugmanesque shortsightedness. To understand how it will actually work, you need to stop pretending that these changes and their results will occur in a vacuum. Classical economic theory is the study of not only...

    Bought my first Win8 laptop

    This, I did not know. I just did what I always did, opened up IE (in desktop in this case) and went to chrome.google.com and hit the download link. Thanks for letting me know about this.

    How does a FlatTax with an exemption hurt the poor?

    Now, please go back and redo that chart, this time showing the percentage of total income tax paid by each group. Assuming you are using real numbers, the figures released by the Government are already split by quintiles, so this should be easy for you to break out. Edit: Noticed that it...

    Mass driver got speeding ticket in CT

    Yes. The only way the officer could prevent the points would have been not to write up the infraction to begin with. My background is related to certain areas of Federal security, but not as a police officer. I have, however, been through the many of the exact scenarios listed in this...

    Mass driver got speeding ticket in CT

    Because the points are not determined, applied or administered by CT in this case. They are determined by MA insurance law as that is the state that the insurance is in. MA has no "go to class, lose the points" provision. There are four ways to get points removed in MA: 1. Receive a full...

    Mass driver got speeding ticket in CT

    MA auto insurance companies are under a separate set of uniform rules and apply them to MA policies in their own way regardless of what CT offers. If you have a MA-based policy and you get a ticket, that ticket will be reported to the MA RMV, and immediately after, automatically to your...

    Mass driver got speeding ticket in CT

    Every single time. You aren't going to get "lucky" and have them not pull it. Yes, there is a "driving school" for MA drivers. This school is only after you have had five surchargable incidents within a specific period, but does NOT erase the points. All it does is let you keep your...

    Mass driver got speeding ticket in CT

    The trooper is talking out of his ass. The only way you won't get points on your license is if the judge tears the ticket up entirely. Anything short of complete dismissal and the insurance company will hit you.

    When was the last time you bought an off-the-shelf computer?

    While a fair amount of savings can be found in the parts side, once you factor in the cost of your time building computers can often become a losing proposition. For average system usage, it can be more of a win to buy a $500 box and throw a few quick components at it than to build one from...

    Bought my first Win8 laptop

    When I open Chrome, it overwrites the taskbar at the bottom. IE, on the other hand, does not; I can still click over to other apps. As for the Start menu itself, I prefer the Win7 style functionality and would prefer to stay as close to it as possible as opposed to constantly stopping and...

    No lie dept: Ezra Klein, "The Democrats have lost on sequestration"

    The market is "taking off" because investors aren't looking a gift horse (read: Unnatural gains via Feds pumping $46B/month into the market) in the mouth. Of course, the actual gains are much less than what the raw numbers show due to the devaluation of the dollar by printing it like quilted...

    Current NBA Player Comes Out

    Up until now, I have refrained from commenting on this story in any forum. It has taken me a while to even begin to put together my thoughts on it in a coherent manner. After watching everything unfold, one detail above all others stood out for me: The only "losers" in all of this, the ones...

    Bought my first Win8 laptop

    Finally got around to upgrading my old Netbook. Went for the lower end overall and got the lowest Inspirion 14R at Microcenter. While it is nice having a touchscreen, pawprints add up quickly and are very noticeable when the screen is off. What are good overlays available to combat this...
