    This blows my mind...... i dont know how anyone would willingly accept this.

    I guess, rather than getting you to think about what progressive taxation means, I wanna see where this goes....

    90%. My final answer. Your move....

    Who said I supported Obama? What does "support" mean to you?

    Blank doesnt want to say "45% would be too much" because he knows if Obama raised it to 46% he would still be ok with it.... or anything else Obama does. Blank always leaves the escape door open.
    Im not going to say 45% is too much because I dont pretend that a tax percentage exists in a vacuum. Theres more than just a couple digits that make up what people get taxed, and fairness is a completely subjective issue.

    Does it completely blow your mind that rich people used to be taxed at 90%???

    And this is the true beginning of the entitlement society.

    BTW This is per year.

    That's all I wanted to know. I have no move, I was just curious.

    I do love how you have to try to get a dig in before finally relenting and giving an answer. Shows just how insecure you really are.

    It would be better for the environment for us all to race electric cars.



    Right?




    I mean, assuming you don't charge it with electricity made from a coal-fired power plant.




    But then again, Nuclear is bad too.




    Racing cars would be OK if they ran on Unicorn farts and/or fairy dust. But fairy dust is highly unstable, we don't have the technology to harness the power safely.

    So just Unicorn farts for now.

    Not stalling. Just wanting to streamline the process.

    I suppose we're referring to personal tax rates for the 1% of Americans that make more than $350k? I think the percentage right now, for them, is around 35%? Kinda seems like a fair number to me, don't you?

    You said "a Chevy volt never won a race." It was clear that the Chevy volt won that race, was it not? Are you changing the parameters or what?

    Again, you answer a question with a question. I don't care what's "fair"... Give me an absolute percentage on when you think taxes become overbearing.

    You asked what I thought was a fair percentage for the 1%. I said the current rate was fair, did that not answer your question? What point are you getting at? Other than trying to color me as blue or red, when reality doesn't work that way. I'm not gonna say what's "fair" or not without knowing what you're talking about, and I'm not gonna give you a simplistic absolute answer, since the tax system isn't simple or absolute.

    Details mayne.

    I mean if I was being robbed and had a shotgun and an AR I'd grab the shotgun, seems better for home defense.

    I don't like hearing "you don't need" but strictly on home protection I think a shotgun would be better.

    depends, a shotgun is arguably the best home defense weapon. It's the easiest to aim and hits the broadest area. Assuming i didnt have a handgun on me and someone broke into my house, i would grab a shotgun to.... mostly because my rifles are locked in cases while my shotguns are sitting behind doors..... shotgun is there to be grabbed. In a theoretical scenario where someone broke into my house and i had an AR sitting open and loaded right beside a shotgun, i would grab the AR...... If i felt like the intruder was armed..... the AR will shoot through walls, i could stand in my bedroom and shoot you in my kitchen with the AR. Shooting from 1 room to the next would be effortless. If the intruder wasnt armed, i would view it as a draw..... a shotgun is a very intimidating weapon visually..... but then again..... we're talking about an AR.... i'm sure someone would shit their pants if you pointed an AR at them.

    You don't need a race car.




    Especially a rotary race car. You are polluting about the equivalent of 992 new SUV's on the road.




    For an entire year.



    With Climate Change, our climate will always change until we stop the madness.





    But I was just sayin'... Dude had a gun, no need to scrap with the dregs of society.

    I don't get why you keep acting like I'm saying something I'm not.

    You hang around Sinfix too much, he's slowing your brain down.

    I did lol though.....

    I understand you completely..... you just dont realize how contradicting your statements are.....

    you say things like.....

    "i support guns" and follow it up with "i voted for Obama"

    That's like saying..... "i support the rights of cows" and "i'm going to open up a mcdonalds"

    Sorry but gun laws weren't at the top of my voting list. Plus, Romney probably would be for stricter gun laws so...

    Comments like this confirm your head being buried in the sand. You're the reason we get a moron like Obama elected in the first place.
