no you don't get it.
We are DOOOOOMED because we are all SOCIALISTS and don't work hard and don't shoot enough muslims and try to build cars not for size but for effectiveness and because we might not be allowed to sell our innovations to americans in future times and because we had Nazis in Germany (wounder why there's no NAzi comparison in this thread yet).
Anyhow - we could do with a lower states rate that's true. And that means you especially baguette boy ;-)
damn you did it before I could demand for it.
thank you for beeing such a nice cliche.
They also value family and children higher than bank accounts or careers.
"Wait a minute! Do you support child penalty tax? Why children should be taxed at higher rate? They should be exempted the same way as other human beings. As it is now, it is parents and children who pay more than their share."
I have a problem with this. You forget that the lions share of most local taxes are the schools and those are mostly paod for by the elderly or folk without kids and without deductions on the state and federal tax forms.
A better and more rational change would be one where those who pay the bills get an enhanced vote while the wagon riders get a reduced say.
Oh, you and Gunter Grass are both quite welcome.
wait, we had that it was called monarchy.
Children are more important to the survival of society than paying bills. What do I say, they are ONLY thing that counts. No children, no survival.
I would give enhanced vote to the parents - one person one vote, each child extra one vote. Raising children is the ULTIMATE contribution.
You DO know that Günther 'n me want an independent and capable german army ?
Good point.
Europe is sooooo screwed.
Everyone in the world is taking one look at Murtha and Nancy and coming to the conclusion they better be ready to defend themselves...
It's a great burden to have to endure supermarkets that are actually open more than 20 hours a week, and getting MRIs without having to wait six weeks. But we'll continue to struggle with it, God willing.
What child penalty tax? I just pulled out my 2005 1040 form and the deduction for children is already the same as that for adults, $3200 each.
In addition, there is child tax credit of $1000.00 per child, a credit for dependent care expenses and a credit for adoption expenses.
Taxpayers are already compensated for having children.
I'm all over that. If you get more than you pay, you should get no vote.
Perhaps we could have the vote weighted by how much you pay in taxes. A dollar to vote equivilancy probably wouldn't work well, but a logrythmic scale might work o.k.
I kinda like a log scale of votes. Let's say you don't pay taxes (as is the case for about 50% of Americans). This means you get one vote.
If you pay $10 in taxes you get 2 votes. For $100 you get 3, for $1000 you get 4. etc.,
I like this a lot, because if people with more money than they know what to do with could "buy" additional votes (fine with me given the nature of the scale, and considering that every dollar they pay is one less that I don't have to) by paying more in taxes than they might otherwise have.
Assuming that the masses of the continents continue to mix at the current rate:
What will an 'Anglomuslim' value in the continent of 'Eurabia' in the year 2050?
Conversely, what will an 'Anglomexican' value in the continent of 'Mexicanada' during the same time period?
(Hint:..It's a trick question.)
Not to worry. (/sarc)
Someone in OUR government is doing all they can to take us down Europe's path.
