You’re not being clear. Broward is full of \*both \*gated communities \*and \*gays. Even some gated gay communities. The fact that there’s a nice-seeming old bachelor couple a couple of condos down from you does not mean you know anything about them. ---

Yeah, I’m a regular joe. I don’t have the means to separate myself from the people I’m supposed to not like the way wealthy white liberals do. ---

Ya know, _ **Elvis** _… a little friendly advice… considering the subject matter of this thread, you might wanna keep a low profile. Just sayin’. ---

You’re having a clarity problem of your own, aren’t you? Both of expression and of thought. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Yeah, I’m a regular joe. I don’t have the means to separate myself from the people I’m supposed to not like the way wealthy white liberals do. If you think only wealthy white (hetero) people live in gated communities in Florida, then you _really_ don’t get out much. ---

Thus my claim in the other thread that taxes are an issue to gays. Especially in Florida, where the community is pretty well off. My friend said that the community keeps on relocating because taxes get too high wherever they set down roots so they move to a lower tax city. ---

So, “most gays I know” is now “a guy I talked to once”. Kinda thought so. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > You’re having a clarity problem of your own, aren’t you? Both of expression and of thought. Oh ok. I wasn’t clear. That’s my fault. How about this? You’re a fucking dolt. This is a thread about people who are wrong alot. You are one of them. You are exponentially more wrong than the average person. You may not be the single most wrong person ever, simply because I am not aware of the breadth, depth and totality of your oeuvre. You are, however, definitely in the discussion. The point was that, because you are one of the single most stupid people I have ever had the misfortune of running across, in a thread about being wrong and stupid, you should probably stay on the downlow lest someone point and say, “Oh yeah, _ **Elvis** _. he’s as big a moron as the subject of the OP.” More clear or do you need pictures? ---

Okay, I’ll grant clarity of expression. Clarity of thought still needs a lot of work, though. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > How many single taxpayers are there? How many married taxpayers? What percentage of married people’s combined income puts them in the tax brackets that the article considers “married tax penalty” brackets? What percentage of them file jointly? What is the total dollar amount collected in taxes from married people vs single people? > > You have an argument at that link you gave, and a handful of regulations, but no real facts at all. Who cares? All I know is that when SWMBO and I tied the knot, our tax burden increased significantly. Which is why I wish that it were true that there wasn’t such a penalty. ---

The “most gays I know” stuff started with _you_, friend. But yes, we’re quite happy to say that “some of your best friends are” not entirely like you. ---
