		<description>I don&#039;t have a problem, like you, of getting my ideas past the keyboard.  I do edit my writing, to improve syntax, but whenever I have something like a coherent essay, which means 500-700 words, I write it down.  I have several unfinished essays on my Desktop.

My friend, Tibor Machan, says he writes something new every day because he hates procrastination.</description>

		<description>YOu are right about Fairtax being goofy, but you are stupid and wrong on everything else.

Fairtax is goofy because it&#039;s a fraud.

And you are stupid if you think we are slaves.  Learn what slaves went thru, pull  your head out of your ass, quit listening to FOX spews and hate radio for your frame of reference. Garbage in , garbage out.

I&#039;m all for getting rid of the tax code -- we could have a simple one page tax return -- no problem at all. Transparent, simple, etc.  No deductions, no double talk about what income is taxed, and what is &quot;protected&quot;.

If you want to cut 90% of government spending, go the hell ahead.  Most government spending is on the DEBT and military spending. Take away payments on the debt and military spending, and we can get rid of income taxes on real work.

The biggest tax fraud is that we tax real work so high. FOX spews and hate radio has dumb asses believing that the top 1% pay most taxes. NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE.  They have been spewing that shif for years.

If it was true, MItt Romney would not be in the 11-12% tax rate. FOX spews and hate radio tells you dumb asses that people like Mitt pay 40-60%, and pay it over and over on the same money!  And you fucking morons believe it!

We can stop that shit, but probably cant stop stupid.  IF we could have a simple tax code -- tax all income alike -- we would not need double talk bullsshit.

However you tax work -- tax all income that way.  No bullshit. No double talk about &quot;that&#039;s already been taxed&quot; or &quot;that&#039;s special&quot;.  If you make a million dollars from wall street hedge funds, or professional golf, or as a dentist, great.  Pay the same.

If you make 500K by government pensions, inheriting it from gandma, or winning it in a lottery, fine. Pay the same.

Just call income INCOME. Period.  Net income -- tax it the same. If you tax 50K of work 10%, tax 50K of capital gains 10%.  If you tax a self employed plumber 20% on 100K, fine. Tax the 100K that someone makes from naked shorts, the same 20%.

I don&#039;t give a shit WHAT the rate is, just don&#039;t fucking play games with types of income.  Don&#039;t even ask how they made the money.   Call income income.

90% of the problems with taxes is the games they play with defining income from work differently from income from unearned income.   Quit that, call income income.</description>

		<description>First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question that I&#039;d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I&#039;ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Cheers!</description>

		<description>I intended to draft you this tiny observation to help thank you so much over again on the spectacular principles you have featured in this article. This is so pretty open-handed of you to grant unreservedly all that most people could have sold as an electronic book in making some money on their own, certainly given that you might have done it in case you wanted. These things additionally acted as a fantastic way to fully grasp that other individuals have the same eagerness much like my own to know the truth a lot more with regard to this problem. I am sure there are thousands of more enjoyable moments in the future for individuals that looked at your site.</description>

		<description>A consumption tax is not regressive. Refer to a Harvard study that says over a five year period it is progressive.

The effort to neutralize people under the provety level is only a political try to get this Fair Tax bill passed.

If studies would consider the child tax credit, the earned income tax credit, free medical care, free medicine, free rent, free utilities, free commodities, free child care, free transportation, free dental,free telephone, SSI benefits, and on and on, a poverty level family of two adults and two children( who probably each are  filing as single with one or two children) would be making at least $150,000 pre-tax.

In the news last week the figure was estimated at $30,000 per family member or $120,000.

You would have to be the fool of the century to vote for the fair tax if your situation is the above, that&#039;s why they say it is regressive. They would have to take a cut from $150,000 a year.</description>
