    I would just suggest that you and Scott Campbell have very extreme views.

    I imagine 90% of people in the country accept that taxes should be based on a percentage of income. And most wealthy people are not unhappy about paying their taxes on this basis.

    Well if lamenting the amount of money confiscated from me for taxes makes me an extremist, then so be it. It certainly doesn't feel like I'm the only one complaining about tax rates.
    Not too many people are willing to say that wealthy people should pay a lower tax rate than working people. I have to give you props for being open and honest about your sense of entitlement.

    The "kill the rich" mentality expressed at John Edwards rallies comes from a sense of frustration. Working people have a sense that rich folk are getting away with murder. The funny thing is, I never hear the populists address in specific terms how the wealthy are gaming the system. Odd. And there really is no intelligent debate on how to reform the tax system.

    This is why I am willing to give a bizarre idea like Huckabee's fair tax a hearing, nobody else is even dealing with the major changes that I see should be made.

      Sense of entitlement? To my own money? Hahahahaha......good one Harlan.

      Your sense of entitlement to other peoples money earns you no props from me.

        I've proposed a flat tax for all, after a 20K standard deduction to help people at the bottom.

        Don't see entitlement there, just a whole lot of common sense and fairness.

          You did not propose a flat tax. You proposed a flat tax RATE.

          There's a big difference.

            OK.

            I wasn't aware there was such a thing as a "flat tax" that didn't refer to rate. Like everybody in the kingdom ponies-up $1000 in taxes.

            This is a proposal one might hear from the Constitutional Party that Partial recently sang praises of. The Libertarians essentially want to take the country back to pre-New Deal era. The Constitutional Party won't hear of this, they think the Government should operate like back in 1840.

            I'm worried about that boy. I'm afraid one day we're going to read about Partial living in some sect in West Virginia, with a leader with two names, "Billy Ray" or something, where they shoot any county officials that try and approach their compound.

I think people should be prepared to shoot at the first sign of threat becasue if you don't shoot them, they easily could shoot you. And when you tell your story, don't forget to tell the part where they were moving toward you in an aggressive manner, that you didin't know if they had a gun and that you feared for your life as you pulled the trigger. That will probably keep you out of the slammer.

                On top of that, say it once as the police arrive so you sound sincere and unprepared for distorting the truth. I think the jury will find that evidence to be more credible. After that, don't talk much about it and let your lawyer do the work.
                Who are you talking to? Partial may hate poor people and minorities, but I don't think he's going to start shooting them.
                If they break into my house and pose any risk to my family I will blow them away.

                    Oh, and I think your an absolute idiot for your stealing your families tax dollars comment. What about when you were ages 14-25?!? You were stealing my families tax dollars then. So STFU with that BS.
                    Of course you think I'm an idiot because I think you're full of poo. Monkey poo. I don't recall getting a tax refund check when I was 14-25 that your family didn't get, so get back to work you tax evading, handout taking, delusional racist.

                    Oh, and they wouldn't shoot you because social programs don't work. They would shoot you because you're full of idiotic hateful nonsense. They might rape your dead body because the social programs aren't working, but the murder would be all on you.

                    Furthermore, I was addressing your stupid assertion that Milwaukee is almost as bad as Detroit crime wise, not your limited retarded views on social programs and their correlation to crime and taxes.

                    Yes, I am the only person who is stealing your tax dollars. It was also my choice for them to give out rebate checks. You truly are an idiot. You and Tyrone are perfect for one another. He would even work so you can stay at home!

                    Milwaukee is a terrible city loaded with crime. How can anyone in their right mind dispute this?!? It's so bad that the police to do not even come if you call in stating someone broke into your house. Believe me, my father has had to do it on multiple occasions.

                          No, I just think the tax system is ridiculous. If you're poor, you don't pay anything. If you don't file, it seems that you rarely get audited. If you are extremely rich, you barely pay anything in taxes because you have accountants to hide your money. It's your average Packer Rat poster that gets screwed on the deal.

                          I want Fair Tax because it is an excellent idea. That, or a standard flat tax dollar amount that everyone has to pay.

                            Well, I ideally would live in an area like where I live now where there is very little crime. However, if I ever live in Milwaukee I'll have to have a hand gun.

                              You realize that if you do that, you're statistically more likely to get shot with your own gun than to shoot an intruder with it, right? I lived in downtown Milwaukee for nearly my entire college career and never encountered a single problem except once my bike got stolen out of the parking garage where I worked. And at the time, the city crime rate averaged over 1 murder per day in the city. You're making a Partial crisis out of this. Besides, I get the feeling that if our boy stays in town, he won't be forced to live in the horrid, retched city with all those icky people.

                              • I really hope that fucking fat wind bag Rush (do people really listen to him? Fuck....) and that twig of a slam hound Coulter keep slamming McCain....we need a Dem in the WH the next couple of terms to restock the Supreme Court and the more conservatives they can push away from the polls the better. The same goes for the far right Christians like Dobson....keep it up on Sundays you schmuck.
