Rasmussen: Bork way down

with the economy that i expect come Nov there is no chance of Obama winning...still the REBUBs must have either have Conan sized balls or else epic stupidity to run against him as weak a candidate as Romney..

Who did U support ?

Yeah, but with the money he'll save on taxes, he could hire an armed bodyguard lol. (He'll need to watch the spitting on the sidewalk, though...I think that's a crime that'll get you thrown into the hoosegow). Did you know the IRS publishes a list of those renouncing their U.S. citizenship? I think it's quarterly. No reasons are given, of course, but one can surmise

I didn't know they published the list, but I have heard the numbers are rising in a certain very fortunate segment of the population.

You heard right.

According to government records, 235 gave up their U.S. passports in 2008. Last year, a record 1780 left for good.

If government were less greedy
and lowered the maximum tax rate,
capping it off at a maximum tax payment for all services rendered,
then those who have been financially successful 'd have less incentive
to cut the government off all together.

In other words, government:
if u r too greedy, then u get NOTHING.

May their hedonic pleasure be GRAND, beyond ineffability!

condensed, dave, that plays as this...

I've got mine, **** the rest of you.

Well, yeah, kinda, Rocky,
but more to the point it is: "I 've got mine.
Don 't use democracy as a weapon to ROB me of my property."
That is a very deeply AMERICAN point of vu, such as the basis of this Republic.

Remember:
discrimination in tax rates is unConstitutional.
The 16th Amendment does not authorize that.
The Constitution requires "equal protection of the laws."

By its failure to enforce that, the USSC is cheating,
i.e., applying a liberal interpretation.

This technique DEFEATS that cheating; success to the GOOD GUY!





David

but you used democracy to get it...

you should contribute your share.

greed sucks, dave...

Maybe there is an outside chance that it was,
if politics were involved somehow,
but most successful citizens got their wealth
thru free enterprize, not thru freedom to vote in November.




Agreed, as long as government does not try to sodomize successful taxpayers
(tax rates were once up to 91% + State n local taxes; obscene, beyond description).
If all taxpayers pay the same rate, with a maximum cap
to avoid overpaying for finite services rendered by government,
then u shud (and u probably WILL) contribute your share.
I wish that the ONLY taxes were sales taxes.



In my post, I ranted against greedy government, Rocky.
We Individual citizens need to and SHUD discipline our servant: government.
This anti-government technique accomplishes that goal.
It makes me happy to think of government being defeated
and thwarted by the Individual citizen, its boss, its Creator.

When the Land of the Free began,
education was purely private; hence,
no consideration was given to it
by the Founders, in the Constitution.
If that subject had been considered,
then it shud have been required that,
in public schools, the citizens shud be encouraged to loathe
and hold in abhorrence, the notion of government jurisdiction.

The autonomy of the INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN shud be aggrandized,
at the expense of government jurisdiction.

Admittedly, government has some useful functions,
e.g., coining money, establishing courts of law & equity, and co-ordinating wars.
Therefore, I am not an anarchist.





David

you should look into alternative energy, dave.

you can generate a lotta wind on short notice...

That one item is horribly counter-intuitive and one of the few things which many conservatives are on the wrong side of simply because they don't understand it. That power (to coin money) was usurped by a gradual process culminating in the establishment of the Fed and the income tax in 1913 and at present, the govt. does not have the power to coin/create money, banks do that and the govt. basically borrows money into existence. The problem is that we're sitting here paying interest on this borrowed-into-existence money which banks basically create out of thin air while government could obviously as easily create money out of thin air itself if anybody trust them to do that in a rational manner.......

Obviously nobody is going to trust our present govt. that far but that is in fact how Pennsylvania was working under Ben Franklin and it worked pretty well until English merchants forced George II to put a stop to it.

You're referring to Dave thinking he could find better ways to spend his own money than donating it to Bork Obunga to by votes with?

Saturday's polling shows Bork down another point, Romney 50, Bork 42.

The masters of the GOP are walking a tight-rope. The American people by and large do not want to hear about conservative social issues, particularly the abortion issue, and GOP leaders know it. They were trying to come up with the strongest candidate they could while defusing that business and still retaining some shot at getting the right side of the base out to vote.

What happened in 08 was a total failure along such lines. Dems voted in almost exactly the same numbers they had in 04 while 6M pubbies just sat home.
