Why? --------------------- Taxes do pay for the above, true. But only 1/3rd, to military & infrastructure.

The other 2/3rds goes to Great Society stuff, i.e., handouts. Taken from one citizen, given to another.

Hope This Helps! Rich

I could live without toilet paper. I certainly don't need to wipe anything when I pee, and for #2, I could just wash, like they do in Thailand. Or, if that's inconvenient, paper towels or paper napkins. In a real emergency situation, you could use newspaper. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Just stuff them down closed oil wells and let the fat between their ears turn back into crude oil. :)

The movie \'Deliverance\' isn\'t a documentary!

Think green! Save the fat for boiling intransigent Islamic Muslims;-) ...Jim Thompson

You can lead a Republican to knowledge, but you can't make him think.

Nah. Use huge lenses & solar power to boil them in their personalized pigskins.

What is the firing rate on your machine gun? Can you keep up with the rate they breed? Remember they breed in two ways, biologically and ideologically.

Actually liberals breed at a much lower rate (*) than conservatives... that's a fact. The only breeders faster than a conservative are, unfortunately, Islamic Muslims.

(*) Leftists seem to have a perpetual problem, much like Slowman, they have trouble "getting it up". And the fairy versions of liberals don't breed at all ;-)

Ideological is trivial to fix... do away with public funding of colleges... or shoot a few "professors", like Ward Churchill ;-) ...Jim Thompson

That only accounts for the biological method. Public schools more than make up for that difference. Muslims have both.

No, they teach.

Don't even have to go that far. Get rid of tenure and pay them for performance. Though it'll have to start a lot earlier than the colleges.

Between the Feds trying to tax your state refund and the state trying to tax your Federal refund, I always felt like a Venn diagram would help.

Sales tax is a double taxation from the get go.

We had a flood and one of the reasons a landlord did not take a forgiveable state loan (5 years) is that he would have to pay income tax on it up front! If he had the liquid assets to do that, why would he need the loan to rebuild in the first place?

Flood aid IS taxable and there is sales tax on repair materials. Unemployment is taxable.

I'm not "that age" yet, but I recently found out that if a person had a GOOD income (MAX SS payin) for 30 years but then due to the economy their income plummets for 7 years before retiring, the amount they get is MINIMUM.

I had always mistakenly thought that good income and payin years would boost what you get but somewhere I heard that it only matters what your income and payin is for the last 7 years before you retire.

I've known several people who worked at somewhat lowly jobs in the last few years before they retire.

I feel like they got ripped off after paying the max rate for many decades earlier in life.

But if the economy takes a major DUMP on jobs for 7 years, doesn't that ease the Social Security funding problem in a big way by slashing the payout?

It's not quite as bad as all that, but close ;-)...

Misinformed.

Quoting from the SSA: "Computation years are the years with highest earnings selected from the "base years.? We add total earnings in the computation years and divide by the number of months in those years to get the AME or the AIME. (We use your 35 highest years of earnings to compute your retirement benefits.)"

You can also look on your SSA statement and see the amounts that you have paid and your employers have paid in to both SS and Medicare.

This is a lie. Any tax owed on a state refund was because you claiming that withholding as a deduction the previous year. It really is simple.

Another lie.

Tax is not owed on a loan. The "interest free" part, perhaps.

More lies. The federal government doesn't have a sales tax.

More bald-faced lies. SS payments are averaged over the highest 35 years. 35 years is considered a full working life. Anything less is an "early" retirement. At least this part of SS makes sense.

Lies.

As long as they've worked 35 full years, they're good to go.

You must feel like the fool you are.

Continued lie. You must be a Demonicrat.

Typical neocons - murder as a first resort.

Feh. Rich
