All of them if they follow you. I've got a killer instinct in me barfo, nothing personal I'm just too in the zone right now. :]
No, that's not why. The tax rate as a fraction of GDP doesn't say anything at all about whether the government has or has not been investing intelligently. I explained why it is a dumb metric. 50 years of US history does not prove that something different can't happen in the future, especially when that something different is currently happening in other countries. Oh, but you forgot pink unicorns divided by melba toast means the gold standard needs to be reinstated. barfo
You're the one not posting about Obama in a thread about Obama and saying you're not posting about Obama. It's understandably confusing.
Is that what the kids call it these days? "In the zone"? Back in my day we called it "getting wasted". barfo
In any case, since you want to talk about taxing the fuck out of people... If you want to live in a place where taxes are 63% of GDP, go live in one of those countries you listed. I'm not interested in spoiling the great experiment that the USA has been. Everything you've supported that's been tried since 2006 (House and Senate went Democratic) has made life miserable for people and have failed to come close to meeting their stated objectives. Time for the academics to step aside and let the adults fix what they broke before it gets even worse.
Why the fuck would you take money out of the private sector and give it to the government for them to invest in, with less expertise? Wtf is your plan, I'm really excited...... I can't wait to hear this. Haha you got confused by that? It is tax brackets.
Ah. Now it is clear why you keep pushing for communist policies even though they have failed horrendously throughout history. You ignore past events and keep hoping that just maybe... just maybe this time the failed policies will work. Forget all of history, just try them this one last time. It all makes sense now.
Yeah that sounds exactly like the problem. What got us here were the barfoists in congress that think they know more than the real experts. Let the private sector do them, you do you barfo.
The $800B (push on the door!) stimulus didn't work, we should have (pushed on the door) spent more. You know, it's true of just about every progressive, socialist, or communist program foisted on us.
Sure are a lot of reading comprehension problems today. I don't believe I expressed any desire to live in a place where taxes were 63% of GDP, but thanks for letting me know that I can leave if I don't like it here. Hey, guess what, same goes for you. In fact, you are the one expressing displeasure with the American system, not me. I like things fine as they are. I'm not any of the people here running around screaming "the sky is falling!" As for "academics", it would be hard to find a party with fewer roots in practicality than the Libertarian party. barfo
Ah, the boy who cried "strawman"... I keep pushing for communist policies? Do tell. That sounds to me like one of them whaddaycallits. Strawman? barfo
You do you barfo, you put your left foot in, you do you barfo, you put your other left foot in, you let the private sector do them, you take her hand, that's how you do the barfo twist barfo
