OUTSTANDING post, FreeKeys! Thanks. BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
No, but it might come in handy some day...
Thank you, sir.
EVERY SINGLE ONE of the government agencies your mom referred to is performing a function that can very well be done by private entities (and usually at precisely one-half the cost), without the backup of guns, jails and nasty control-freak personalisties, — just lawsuit potentials. Most prominently, Underwriters Laboratories can (and does) do all the consumer protection anyone needs — WITHOUT politicians’ interference as happens with the FDA, the EPA, etc., etc. etc. And Heaven knows the Post Office is obsolete...
I'll pass that along to the email group ((You'll get full credit of course) no cash, sorry!) FR to get a hat tip as well since we got dissed as well.
“and If you sell your house after 2012 you’ll pay a new 3.8% sales tax on it”
I missed that. Is it true? How can that be constitutional? (Not that it seems to matter.) Are the states all arm-twisted into doing it? Isn’t federal only allowed to tax income or in a manner apportioned among the states.
Thanks for the ping!
It’s a medicare surcharge that is being expanded to include ununearned income. It starts to kick in for AGI above 200k, 250k for married couples filing jointly.
