I suppose you get your information from the good ol' Communist News Network.
|
i get my news wherever i can get it. its important to hear all sides. you seem to seek out information that serves only to fortify the little wall of paranoia you have built around yourself.
i am not like you. i dont consider every source of information that conflicts with my own person views or opinions to be biased and a source of Communist propoganda. I listen to other views with the aim of understanding... not to convince myself i am right.

How many times have you heard anyone call in to hold the host's feet to the fire? šIt never happens. šThat's YOUR idea of 'fair and balanced'? š
Pat Grey, Rush Limbaugh, Chris Baker, and Sean Hannity all allow what I consider far too many Liberal pinheads to get on the air and spout the Liberal mantra. š

i dont know what you mean by "fair and balanced". How many times does Sean Hannity cut people off when he disagrees with them? quite a bit! if you are denying that then you are truly beyond help.
How many times does Sean Hannity talk over the top of callers when they start to make a good point? almost always! is that fair?
the world is unfair.

The only one I have ever heard disconnect one of them in the last two years was Mike Savage. šDoes your favorite CNN personality take live calls? šFrom Conservatives?

1) Micheal Savage considers himself to be a Libertarian if memory serves me correctly.
2) Why would i have a favorite CNN personality? its a fucking news station reporting on the news. get over it. BBC has a very good program called Hard Talk though. Tim Sebastion is quite good at verbally tying politicians and world leaders to an old pickup and dragging them up and down the street for 30 minutes.

To address a couple of other points? you made:
I think you are slipping into a stupor of some kind. šI didn't say that one employer should do away with the withholding. šWhen it was instituted, it was supposed to be temporary. šI'm saying that it is time it stopped being required by law.
|
uh... ok. you said exactly " you wanna get rid of the income tax..."
Quote:
'Fair share' means different things to different people. šI am simply saying that the idea of a 'progressive' tax rate is patently UNFAIR.
|
everyone seems to think any tax is unfair. few people have an idea of what a "fair" tax is. I have certainly never heard anyone say "hey, thats a great idea for a new tax!"
Quote:
Clinton was and is a Communist; but he didn't start the whole thing. šDo your research and then comment on that issue.
|
you lose credibility with most people who aren't on medication, each time you say stupid shit like this. you can dislike Clinton all you like but i dont think that the people of the United States of America put a Communist in the White House.

I have no problem with the people paying taxes for three purposes...Defense, Infrastructure, and taking care of our veterans (possibly a part of defense).
However, taxes other than income taxes can take care of this. šthe income tax is being used to pay for social (read vote-buying) programs.
|
ok. i think all old people should suffer and die without health care and medication too. great idea. a good way to save money would be a 'Pull the Plug" lottery for hospital patients in critical condition. thats fair.
Quote:
BTW, there is a perfectly legal way to get around the withholding. šJust use independent subcontractors. šYou are still employing people; but you give up a modicum of control over them in order to get rid of the tax and benefits problem. šAsk your tax consultant about it.
|
i know that most of your words are a matter of reflexive reaction to combat your perceived evils of Communism in the US and you tend not to think before you post. Since my infinite patience and understanding helps me to tolerate your goofy rants, i will help you through this issue of "independent contractors".
first, i did it for years while fishing in alaska. i formed my own business and wrote off all my expenses. second, it takes a willing employer.
Each state has different requirements for self employment, licenses and insurance. The costs can sometimes be substantial. if you can convince your live in nurse who feeds you your Ritalin and Prozac while keeping your AM radio in tune, to do all of this when the costs may not outweigh the benefits to him, then thats fine.
