In effect you told Principle what and where the exemptions issue came from. Now you say the issue of exemptions comes from: "in 318, my response to 317, i stated: * i hold the OPINION that prebate and exemptions are equal evils"
How convenient for you to tell Principle when he asked "what exemptions" you point him to my post at 342 which points to 317 and now you say the exemptions he asked about don't come from where you pointed him to but came from your post at 318.
get over it. i was being supportive of your attack on me. you had the gist of what an "exemptions" was and i later corrected you regarding your quote, which indicated you hadn't actually read my 318 reply to 317.
am i not allowed to hold the opinion that both prebates and exemptions are political tools and state my personal preference for one of the other? yes, exemptions ARE a political tool, i admit it. but i think if we have to compromise and not do a flat tax rate then certain exemptions are lesser evils that a prebate. for one thing, everyone would to maintain their privacy.
