I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re not dumb enough to support deficit spending. You’ve shown that you’re really fucking stupid, but let’s hope you’re not that stupid.
Taxes pay for stuff. If you weren’t taxed, you’d have to pay out of pocket for those same things. It’s just shifting lines on an expense sheet. Removing taxes makes you no better or worse off.
You claim to be in trucking, how would a toll highway impact your business?
Part of your taxes goes to building and maintaining the roads and highways your business requires to function.
How many more examples do you need? Over the past decade or so Somali pirates have increased the cost of shipping. As a result, your tax dollars are paying to have the US military patrol the Gulf of Aden. So you can either pay for that in the form of higher prices on everything, or through taxes.
Regardless of the abuse of statistics and bias in this article, one can still see that the tax increases caused economic “growth” to plummet during the tax increases of the 30’s to 40’s and 40’s to 50’s, and that the “growth” went upward during the later tax cuts. If the graph were not attempting to minimize the effect by graphing a derivative against a linear function, it would actually make my point.
Ah the good ol’days. Remember when you could slap your secretaries ass and she’d giggle. After all, who is she going to complain to? No self respecting woman would be in the work force, she should have found a man to take care of her by now.
And remember when you could yell shit at black people, simply because they were black? And refuse to hire them, simply because they were black. Who are they going to complain to?
And remember when the only thing threatening the sanctity of marriage was inter-racial? That’s a law we definitely need to get back on the books. Back when government was small, and constitutional, and prevented inter-racial marriage.
I have shown that I disagree with you. Your immaturity has led you to the conclusion that I am stupid.
Like welfare, and Chinese windmills? If there were no taxes, why would I have to pay for those things?
We pay highway tolls, and IFTA taxes. Remember the IFTA tax discussion, or are you just now joining us?
OK, answer me this, now that, I assume, you are familiar with IFTA. If the IFTA taxes, and the tolls that I pay, not to mention the gasoline taxes that four-wheelers pay, are supposed to be used to maintain the road, then why is it that every road construction site I see has a sign telling me how much Obama Money is being used to pay the cost?
What percentage of my taxes go to stopping Somali pirates? Now, what percentage goes to paying for public welfare programs?
I would be happy if 100% of my IFTA taxes were going to road repair, but that isn’t the way that government works.
Actually, your little graph didn’t refute my point, it reinforced it. I looked at the math, rather than the opinionated bullshit, or the Barney Frank ad.
I remember the sexism, yes, et les moyens de l’abuser.
Umm…what you could or couldn’t yell at black people kind of depended on what neighborhood you were in. Remember Speedy Gonzales? Those cartoons have been banned because they supposedly stereotype Mexicans…as being…slow?
No, I do remember a lower divorce rate, though. I remember a time when people took marriage seriously, as a commitment, as my husband and I have.
I realize that you’re trying to say that everything is so much better now that liberals have gotten rid of racism and sexism, but, first of all, that is not true. Although it has changed its face a little, racism is alive and well. Some things have gotten better since the 60’s, but what was lost was the freedom, the beauty, the simplicity, the freedom, and the style, and those things were more important to me than banning ass-slapping.
Remember back when gas had lead in it. Before the stupid government got involved. Paint used to have lead in it too. Think of all the money you could save if paint and gas had lead in it still. Stupid government.
Prove it. Did it work for Bush 43 when he lowered taxes?
Yes, it did, although not as well as it did for Reagan.
Are you the one who does? Please, enlighten me on where to cut costs, and my broker wants to know how he can “charge more”. As for demand, when business grows, it has to ship things. If taxes are cut, and people are willing to invest and work hard, business will grow.
Aww…are you telling me that I insulted you? Said something that made you feel bad? Geez, and everyone has been so nice to me! I’m so very, very sorry.
Faggot.
Yes, we do. Smokers pay more for health insurance.
You bet your god-fearing ass I remember when gas had lead in it, and I wish it still did. I’m tired of having to run around with a low-compression engine. As for lead paint, I prefer scrubbable interior latex, but that’s my choice, which is, I believe, a word that you do not like, except when it comes to abortion or butt sex.
Remember when we could purchase things like bulk solder, and lead for auto body work, without a lot of hassle and wasted money?
No, it’s mostly the stupid shit you’ve said. Claiming we simply “disagree” is the bullshit line conservatives desperately cling to as if moral relativism means something.
You keep mentioning Chinese windmills as if they’re relevant. Are you sure you don’t mean Dutch windmills? Do you know what a windmill does? Do you know what welfare is?
Nice dodge. I’ll ask again, what would an increase in highway tolls do to your business? If there weren’t highway tolls would you be able to hire more employees?
Because highways cost a fortune to build and maintain. Not to mention the bridges that have to be rebuilt after they fall. As for Obama, are you surprised he’s advertising? In addition to your taxes, he’s borrowed money to pay for more highway improvements.
Now tell me, how does traffic impact your business? If there was less traffic, would you make more money?
Again with the welfare references. You have a computer, look it up. But since we’ve been running a deficit for almost 10 years now, the answer is zero. None of your tax dollars are going to welfare or Somali pirates, it’s all borrowed.
If that was all the money that went to roads, you wouldn’t be happy with the roads. You know they also have to be cleared of snow, did you think that’s free?
Well, considering that you’re of “mixed race” there was a time not that long ago when mix race marriages weren’t allowed. Back in those fine days before liberals ruined everything.
Sure, but what’s gained is the freedom for you know, women and blacks.
Yup, people smoking on airplanes, those were the good ol’days.
In 1999. He is still popular as hell in Latin America, but in the US, we’re all racists for saying that Mexicans are slow…by showing Speedy Gonzales cartoons…I don’t get it either. Here is more info:
I’m talking about the “green” stimulus money, which much of was spent in purchasing “power-generating” windmills from China. And, yes, I know what welfare is, although I am using the term to refer to all “public assistance” programs.
Are you referring to tolls on toll roads? Since very little interstate highway is toll road, the effect would not be much. If, OTOH, you are referring to an IFTA tax increase, which is the actual, per mile, toll that we pay, that would fuck things up every bit as much as any other tax increase.
No shit, Clarence, but IFTA taxes cost a fortune to pay. Of course, I have already posted that information.
Not at all. He does have a serious image problem right now.
Yes, highway improvements which we already paid for with our IFTA tax.
No, not really. I don’t really consider traffic to be a problem.
And why do you say that?
So, a Scottish man couldn’t marry an Irish woman, or what?
Yes, they were. A drink and a cigarette on a long flight is nice.
