sales taxes are by very nature progressive, because the rich spend more than the poor. I understand that the true definition of progressive taxation does not fit, please don't argue semantics with me. All one has to do is not tax non-prepared food and most necessities (toothpaste, drugs, maybe clothing) and bam, call it regressive call it progressive call it whatever, it makes taxes managable for most lower income peoples.

you should read jesse ventura's book... i agree a 8.5% sales tax on all items except food,clothing, and necessities... although a income tax is entirely unconstitutional and anti-proggresive. if the founding fathers knew that the government was getting money that you earned before you get it... we should remove the 16th amendment!

So what you're saying is you don't stand for anything. You just like being right with your predictions. Gotcha.

I hope at some point, your internal dialogue sounds like this:
Note to self: Accusing people of rape, enjoying popsicles and television shows is neither logical, or an argument of any sort.
Also, to clarify, I'm not 22, and i do like popsicles and spongebob.

are you accusing US military of such offenses during Vietnam tours? Well, they happened, so what's your point.

now is that spongeBOB or spongeBRAIN?
mil3ston3s (August 8, 2008 at 12:20 pm)
huh?
I'm sorry, but i dont really understand what you're asking.
"such offenses"?
please be more specific.
mil3ston3s (June 26, 2008 at 10:37 am)
however, you based your skepticism off of three things that (to logical people) are completely irrelevant. when i asked you if you had researched him at all, you got defensive and called me a rapist. I'm assuming this means you didn't. And you won't. The final ironic swift kick i get from seeing your profile is that your favorites only include a popular internet meme, and your "signature" says something about reality checks for mindless drones.

just to clarify what's going on...
your opinion of my guitar playing: valid. maybe i bring pain to people with my music-- what exactly this has to do with what we talked about on the Mike Gravel video is beyond me.
You made a comment about his race, his name, and whether he would fulfill his promises once taking position in office; your *visibly* sarcastic comments implied that you were skeptical (not a bad thing, every politician deserves to be scrutinized by the public)

Dear Jizedi
Since you've blocked anyone who isn't your friend from messaging or commenting on your profile, I'll say this here. (i apologize to the other viewers)
you've avoided my point again (i never once argued he was going to win), and thereby proven your maturity. I'd recommend not commenting on my profile, but then again, I'm not an asshole COUGH COUGH.
