"OTOH one would expect paid shills to protect those special interests, especially on forums such as FR where the debate takes place. Who's on here protecting the life insurance and annuity industries? Whose protecting the tax shelter peddlers, retirement plan administrators, K Street? Seems to me that the SQL's are the ones with the most to lose and the most incentive to pay silver tongued ringers to tell the world how lousy ANYTHING except the income tax is."

more baseless acccusations bordering on smears. You know nothing of me, yet you accuse me of being in bed with special interests? Where's the Nazi accusation? That ought to be coming up next, eh? you're no better than the looney left attacking Rush and other people who are your betters.

YOU began with the paid shill crap. Not me. If you can’t take it don’t dish it out.

and one also wonders whether these posters aree being paid for posting, by whom, and why. why this forum and not, say, DU?

Excuse me? I believe you are making baseless accusations and smears. How do you guys get the nerve to accuse us of anything? See my tagline.

I simply asked a question, for which I have not received an answer. you responded not by answering the question, but by name calling and personal attacks. THEN you accused me of being a shill.

my question remains on the table unanswered. That means that I and everybody else can make whatever inferences about nto only the question, but by your refusal to make an honest reply.

The question of who's being paid to post here? No one. There, question answered. Dumb question by the way. In the vein of "when'd you stop beating your wife?"

my question remains on the table unanswered.

Because no one but me would pay it any mind.

I was not responding to a question I was responding to your smear tactics which were very overt no matter how innocent you now try to portray yourself.

How could you possibly know that no one is being paid to post here?

I believe the AFFT has paid at least one person to post on her in the past so it's not such a dumb question.

Well, make up your mind. How could YOU possibly know that someone is being paid to post here? It is the anti's that have so much status quo to protect. The likelihood is much higher that paid posters are on that side.

Interesting corollary today the panel giving the “peace prize” to AlGore is of just the same caliber as the panel behind AFFT

What? If I know that one person is paid to post here I could say "people are paid to post here." To say "no one" is paid to post here you would have to have certain knowledge of everyone who posts here. I really doubt it's possible for you to have that knowledge so you can't possibly say "no one" is paid to post here. Get it?

I believe Chief Negotiator's wife stated after he died that he was paid for his pro-FairTax activity on FR.

 

It is the anti's that have so much status quo to protect. The likelihood is much higher that paid posters are on that side.

And yet the AFFT is the only organization known to have paid people to post here. Funny, isn't it.

Bottom line, he asked the question. How the hell should I know what the answer it? My answer - "no" is just as probable as my answer "yes" would have been.

Since no one knows the answer we can only infer an answer. I infer that the SQL's have more to lose and therefore are more likely to have hired guns.

...like “the best answer $22 million can buy” - and a few hundred thousand to keep their evangelists “spamming every discussion board on the net”

Get it?

One of the most obnoxious questions ever on these threads. Only two people use it. Hmmm.

Huh? Aren't their people who stand to gain under the FairTax (e.g., Linbeck, McNair, Trotter and their River Oaks Country Club crowd)? Aren't they willing to "hire guns" to achieve these gains? It appear they have in the past.

Given your tendency not to "get it," it's not obnoxious at all to ask if you "get it."

The country club crowd is least affected by the FT. It is those beholden to the income tax that stand to lose JOBS that are going to hire shills. The jobs such as those under the National Association of Underwriters. Get it? I think you'll find few FairTaxers who stand to lose their jobs IF the income tax remains. So simple logic would indicate that paid spinners are out in force against the FT. Get it?

It appear they have in the past.

Because of something you "heard" from Chief's wife? Sorry you can't say that and have anyone believe you. It also APPEARS that you and louie are reading from the same script. Get it? Get it? Get it? You both use that small minded stinger at the end of your diatribes as if you yourselves aren't convinced of your own arguments.

Let's see how well your scriptwriters dispel my notion.
