I'd like to see a tax like this on everything. 15/20% on salary, 15/20% on stocks etc. If your being paid in stocks, 15/20% can be sold @ market price and will go to the govt

So your saying that corporations thriving is bad for the economy???

Corporations thriving = more jobs

If the corporations are doing well, then America does well

simbha  ·  3345 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: [DEBATE] Let's talk about taxes

Is your argument that corporations make too much profit, so they should be taxed more just to take money out of their pocket to "even the playing field"

Yes they would - and as an athlethe myself - I can say that getting paid for something you love doing is great

I'd prefer a quite engine, but whatever

    Well first of all, as I've said to Green before, flattery will get you anywhere ya want, lil. She's improved drastically as a writer since she entered her Junior HS year, but she's also great at everything, as far as I can tell. I think she's trying to choose between writing and science, however.

People are on their phones now, and if I'm by myself and I need to "type" something large

Thank god for google voice

I feel like this fake, as I've read this article here

Best quote ever-

    I have a theory about global warming and why people think it's real. Go back 30, 40 years when there was much less air conditioning in the country. When you didn't have air conditioning and you left the house, it may in fact have gotten a little cooler out there, because sometimes houses become hot boxes. Especially if you're on the second or third floor of a house in the summer time and all you've got is open windows and maybe a window fan. Or you have some servant standing there fanning you with a piece of paper. When you walked outside, no big deal, it's still hot as hell. Now, 30, 40 years later, all this air conditioning, and it's a huge difference when you go outside. When you go outside now, my golly, is it hot. Oh. Global warming. It's all about the baseline you're using for comparison.

Interesting map

I would've guessed most middle eastern countries had blasphemy laws, but what surprises me is that Germany - a highly atheistic country has blasphemy laws on the book
