You keep replying to me. You appear to have joined the thread late, determined to respond to everyone's every post. That would be a tad annoying even if you had some coherent thoughts to share.

Beer goes well not only with pizza, but also with falafel. Make a note of it.

"Obvious ways around that"??? And you think those obvious ways you presented would somehow pass the smell test of honesty rather than being seen for what they are - an evasion attempt.

The state sales tax guys aren't that stupid, friend. If you live your life that way under the FairTax you'll end up in the same cell block as Nightie - and it would serve you right. You're obviously not a mathematician who can use common sense.

The trick with falafel is to make it nice and thick. Too thin, and it's humus--it just won't fry up right.

Some forms of taxation ARE non-socialist. In fact, taxation has nothing at all to do with socialism. It's on the outgo side that socialism comes into play.

There have been multitudes of non-socialist governments over the 6,000 or so years involved ... and they have ALL taxed.

Another trick--and I shouldn't be sharing this with you--is to put some humus and some tabouleh in the pita along with your falafel. Try it and you'll thank me.

You have no idea what you're missing. Falafel, properly made, is worthy of the table on mount Olympus.

Since I've never been there and won't be going there, I'll just have to miss that "pleasure".

I thought you were ignoring me. Goes to show how much your comments are worth.

No, it won't ... just a state sales tax aauditor who's been down this path or a very similar one with many present evaders.

You really must be of the TP persuasion. Most of your posts indicate that. Which of the "pay no taxes" losers has brainwashed you?

Like all state sales taxes presently the CA sales tax only taxes certain things, differs in different locales, and does not tax many things.

That's quite different from the FairTax which also requires a receipt explicitly showing the price of the item and the tax as well.

Just like Forrest Gump ... "Selfish is as selfish does". Who gives a damn about anyone else, right?

If you were talking about baba ganouj, you'd be right. But we're talking about falafel.

Izzy old bud ... what "exemptions" do you think you find in the FairTax bill (especially since you've not read it)??? And how is it those "exemptions" might be "tweaked"???

And please tell us which guy in the Tax Protest movement is it that you follow?
