I haven't worked since January of 2001. I refuse to take any money from the government, But I am money ahead if I must pay taxes.

I guess I'm just not as smart as you.

[youaculpa]

Any reduction in legal plunder is a good thing. What is so difficult to understand?

[Tuco-bad]

I want EVERYONE to get a tax cut. I deserve a tax cut, Bill Gates deserves a tax cut--EVERYONE who works deserves a tax cut. EVERYONE who pays taxes is overtaxed.

Agreed - and over the past century, the middle class overall have received no significant tax cuts.

All the significant tax cuts went to the rich.

[~Vor~]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have a bet going with another freeper 2 years ago in which you stated you'd leave FR if Bush won?...

[Godebert]

Cripes.....how much time did you waste on this drivel? You could've been out making money. You really want to stop wasting time then throw your TV in the garbage can.

Gadzooks, what's up with FR today...

Well if *I* ever opus, I'm gonna put all the jokes I never got to post on here, bwaha...

Hey maybe I'll opus tomorrow. I could use a different screen name. "Salacious Crumb" maybe.

[Skooz]

I want the rich to get tax cuts.

I want the middle class to get tax cuts.

I want the "working poor" to get tax cuts.

Anyone who gets a paycheck should get a tax cut. No one should pay over 22% of their income in taxes (and I am being very generous).

[Tuco-bad]

Another example that makes me wonder why you are still on FR.

I am the most conservative member of the FR, check out my profile.

[alaskanfan]

I'm still waiting for my rebate check from the tax increase of the Clinton administration in 1996. I haven't seen a thing yet.

Do you suppose Tom Daschle has it in his pocket ?

[Skooz]

I could use a different screen name. "Salacious Crumb" maybe.

To this day, I regret not signing up under the name Burpo the Mad Clown.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Why not become a writter?

Very good post. Don't let the turkeys get you down. Tut, tut and oh bother. I am sure we will hear from you soon.

The world is too cold a place without your FRiends. Hope the wind will carry you back here again. We will carry on until then.

[Tuco-bad]

Any reduction in legal plunder is a good thing. What is so difficult to understand?

Okay - how about a significant tax cut for the working people.

[maxwell]

BWAHAHA!

[Tuco-bad]

Anyone who gets a paycheck should get a tax cut. No one should pay over 22% of their income in taxes (and I am being very generous).

Right now - many working people pay over 36% in federal taxes (income, payroll, etc.).

Bush's tax plan will cut the percent taxed of wealthy people below that of the working people.

Betcha you didn't know that.

[Skooz]

I'm still waiting for the "middle class tax cut" the StainMaker ran on in 1992.

[Skooz]

Bush's tax plan will cut the percent taxed of wealthy people below that of the working people. Betcha you didn't know that.

I couldn't care less. The wealthy are very overtaxed and deserve a tax cut.

[Tuco-bad]

I guess I'm just not as smart as you.

Okay - I accept that.

[Tuco-bad]

The wealthy are very overtaxed and deserve a tax cut.

The working people are very overtaxed and deserve a tax cut.

I don't understand why you have to 'leave' so officially.

It's not like you're someone "(in)famous" here like:

dead,
dain bramage,
COB1,
sneakypete,
Focault's Pendelum,
Mad Ivan,
appypappy,
narses,
meeknming,
JohnHuang,
RedBloodedAmerican,
nicmarco,
doug from upland,
Register,
bluesduke,
lindorf,
aculeus
.............. errrrr who am I forgettin?
And, I only named 'male posters' (at least I think they are ALL males)

Anyway, I wish you all the best, good luck with the job hunt etc...... and don't be embarressed to come back anytime before your 2004 date, you wouldn't be the first to go back on an opus....

take care :)

[Skooz]

Almost all of the wealthy ARE "working people."
