I am curious how you can post three times to three different threads at the exact same time? What kind of computer are you using?

Enough Beyonce at halftime,,enough!
No kidding!
I was very happy with Coldplay. I thought they were great. Fun, upbeat songs. I enjoyed the Bruno Mars song, too. Great dancing.
That was the consensus at our house. Two out of three isn’t bad.
Great year for commercials, too. Our favorite was the dachshund hotdogs.

But now Cruz comes along and says I also won’t charge income tax. I will charge a VAT. She is now 20% worse off than she was.
The tax on businesses, which is effectively a VAT, is offset by the elimination of the payroll tax. For some businesses this will be a wash, for others a boon, and for others, a cost that will be passed on to their customers.
The analysis from the Tax Foundation shows the overall effect to be a boon to the economy:
According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to a 13.9 percent higher GDP over the long term, provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed.
The plan would also lead to a 43.9 percent larger capital stock, 12.2 percent higher wages, and 4.8 million more full-time equivalent jobs.
On a static basis, the plan would cut taxes by 9.2 percent, on average, for all taxpayers.
Accounting for economic growth, all taxpayers would see an increase in after-tax income of at least 14 percent at the end of the decade.

They’re called leftists so they can remember which hand to use when the toilet paper runs out.
Note: I can write and speak Spanish, but I have deliberately left out the tilde above the "n" in El Nino and the accented "a" in Nicholas on purpose because of the HTML character errors that show up when my comments are previewed here on FR.
Its all the fault of El Nino! Er, Bush!
(Tilde over last “o” of course. My computer does not have a Spanish letterset IBM Selectric type ball with a tilde!)
In some secret location the Bush weather machine is fired up and droughting down socialist nation’s reservoirs to force them to turn off the lights. (It is also causing Waterfalls to run backward!)

Hope and Change! Venezuelan style!
Amazing isn’t it?
Do you know how this can happen? I certainly got no answer...
Makes one wonder who the other two parties might be?
I have been following it since the beginning. We also have a couple of bundlers here.
