Actually, I'm not that far off base. Taxing 30K income makers at 30%, the same as 250K income makers can create an "as applied" constitutional...
Fraggle Rocker -- You obviously know a lot more about geometry than me. In my simplistic view, what goes "up" in space will continue in that...
Parenthetically, a flat tax is inherently doomed because any percentage you apply invariably favors those already rich or independently wealthy. It...
Yah, but don't forget the rich (actually, super rich) get hit on the back end with the death tax. Hoarding is always bad for a capitalistic economy,...
And if the universe is a circle, sphere, oval, etc., then what's outside of that circle/sphere/oval, ad infinitim?

I picked the moon because it is prettier and I can see it better. Plus, I'd like to see if we're any better at wagging the dog with science fiction...
As to Mrs., Wiki says differently. See http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_miss_an_abbreviation_for_missus. At any rate, the point was is that it wasn't a...
See my post at #158 in this thread.

US food is regulated. USDA and FDA are the general agencies. Housing is regulated largely by state agencies (building, electrical, water, sewage,...
Being a member of AAA, Sam's Club, or signing up for local inventory/marketing cards (bookstore cards, grocery cards, etc) is far different than...
