I just love the mental image of **curlcoat** crotcheting through her day, muttering to herself and planning out all of her devastating zingers that she’s going to unleash on us when she gets back to her computer, not realizing that the rest of us keep checking in on this thread in much the same way that you would check on a container of leftovers in the fridge, to see if it’s growing mold yet or what. ---

For me, it’s more like checking on the mound of fungus on a dead muskrat, to see how big it will get before collapsing of its own weight. At this point, I’m amazed every time. :eek: ---

I personally have likened \*\*curlcoat \*\*to a particularly infected zit: you know you should just leave well enough alone, but you can’t stop poking at it just to see what kind of disgusting pus it’s going to spew forth. ---

Is tax money taken from us only ok when it does the taxpayer NO benefit whatsoever? Tax money spent on Iraq is still being taken from us at gunpoint, as you say. What’s the difference? Money being spent in Iraq is money that’s not being spent on my personal life, which in my estimation makes it more atrocious. At least with UHC I’d be getting something back for my money, or at least have that option available to me. ---

> [@curlcoat](#): > > At some point, there is a line you cross over barely that puts you in a higher tax bracket, so you end up bringing home less than before you got the raise. Or, if there is a big difference between what you make and what your spouse makes, you may notice it then - that it is actually cheaper if the one making the less money doesn’t work. I think you’re full of shit. Can you give a concrete example to back this up? ---

Oh god. I blame myself. I linked to a couple of posts here to explain “napkin sandwiches.” BRB, committing ritual suicide to restore honor to my family. ---

😃 I missed this thread the first time around, and I just read a couple of pages and noticed that she never came back and defended that particular claim. ETA: nobody’s forcing you to participate, SFG 😉 ---

PS. If mods want to call this a zombie thread and lock it, please suggest an appropriate forum for me to start a thread to ask curlcoat this question. By itself, it doesn’t seem pit-worthy. ---
