Well, the IV amendment says something about unlawful search and seizure, doesn't it?If you think your fourth amendment rights are being violated by the income tax, maybe you should take it to court. I'm sure they've never heard that one before.
I've never heard one working person say that they're against a fair tax.
Now, welfare-leaches would probably have a different definition of "fair."
The 'names' you are so sensitive about seem mild - but I guess not in this day of PC where NO ONE is to be OFFENDED not EVER - says so in the Constitution! (Oh, it doesn't? well then>>>>>>)
The only source of income for this restaurant is the food they sell. You will see that taxes are part of their expenses. If they do not collect enough money to cover their expenses they will go out of businessAnd businesses go bankrupt every day. How is this possible if they can just raise their prices to cover all their expenses?
Be sure and let us know what the Admin "advises" you since you seem so unsure as to what course to take.
In the meantime, I'll offer you my hankie if you need it.
I second that - probably why I always think of him as a senator rather than "only" a congresscritter -
They are all still income-based taxes and suffer from the common fatal flaws thereof some of which are shown on this post.
All you're admitting to by such a comment "I support the flat tax" is that you support a form of income tax - which you've made abundantly clear on these threads.
In the meantime, I'll offer you my hankie if you need it.You carry a hankie? How quaint. I'm sure it's lovely, but no thank you.
"perhaps" s.b. "Perhaps, know". 'Pologies!!
Sure. Everyone knows that Ann is the master of real debate...
Well, one of the main points of her newest book is that liberals don't debate, they appeal to a higher authority, much like you did, in order to make their case. As in "it's for the children" so that they won't have to make a point, just appeal to innate instincts.
I didn't realized I was taking advantage of any anyone. I don't think pigdog's constant name calling is appropriate for FR and I asked the Admins for advice.
His constant name calling since 1998 has all of a sudden got you stirred up? The day after he was banned? It had nothing to do with kicking a man when he's down?
Exactly, it's not about calling those who disagree with you names.
I don't know that I have exactly been called names on these threads, certainly nothing as bad as "nightie". I have been told to screw my self, been constantly called a liar, been villified as a cultist, been told I drink fair tax "kool aid", been told I am ignorant, stupid, dishonest, uninformed most of the time without any further reasoning or explanation.
Doesn't make it right.
Not saying it is. Just saying my skin is a lot thicker than worrying about cute variations of my screen name.
So you admit his name calling is a transgression.
Sure. If it bothers you so much why don't you run and tell the admins? I'm sure they will rescue you from such horrid tactics. What you call name calling is hardly the sin you make it out to be. "nightie, rongie, looie, rightie", c'mon. It isn't like he's calling you "dumbass".
Name calling is usually a sign of a lack of ideas.
You can accuse PD of fierce debate but you can't accuse him of lack of ideas or putting his money where his mouth is. He wades in with you guys a lot better than I do.
That might best be left to that fellow who posts the same stuff about wanting to resume with the Articles of Confederation and it tax system again.
Ummm, I dunno , Ummm - maybe because there's a limit to what people will pay and they would also go bankrupt - they have to dance on the middle ground...
Well congratulations. What you support is what we have. I hope you're happy.
As most of us, except you, perhaps, there is no "flat tax".Yes there is. S.1099
That's merely a general classification of certain types of income-based taxes masquerading as consumption taxes by clever theoretical definition.Yeah. We wouldn't want are tax system to be clever, now would we. The Flat Tax taxes wages, not income.
They are all still income-based taxes and suffer from the common fatal flaws thereof some of which are shown on this post.You're referencing your own post as proof? For anyone interested in real information on the Flat Tax, the Heritage Foundation has published "A Brief Guide to the Flat Tax." It's worth a read.
All you're admitting to by such a comment "I support the flat tax" is that you support a form of income tax - which you've made abundantly clear on these threads.I support the Flat Tax. The Flat Tax is a consumption tax. I support a consumption tax. I'm sorry if it's too "clever" for you too understand.
And ducks sneeze every once in a while too ... so what???
No? My financial records belong to the big bad fed gov. I'm sorry, I only posted an excerpt before. Here is the fourth in its entirety. Maybe you should read it.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
So since my personal records are subject to search and seizure by the IRS it would seem that my rights are violated wouldn't it?
