As Cain said let see the mat. Take your GROSS INCOME and deduct 18% (9 for income tax and 9 for sale tax) see what is left and compare with what you are left now.

The misleading part is that we got used to call “earnings” what we take home after taxation.

In practice will be even better you will take home your Gross income minus 9% and then you have the power of how to use the rest of 9% sale tax. Yes necessities as food and other one will have no choice but for other things we have that choice.
Actually for poor people is gain. I by often big item purchases like car or TV set, under 999 math I have more money to start with and I am better off.

It was the phrase “dead dunked” that made no sense.

I guess we need a short explanation sheet that defines all of the MORMON shorthand words.

“Gingrich: Outstanding. He is my second choice right now. We’d be lucky to get him. Unfortunately, the dope in the street thinks more about number of wives than the things that should be most important to us in a dangerous world.”

Don’t be too hard on the dope on the street. It’s not just about his wives. He imploded when he was in charge of the house. His pandering to extreme liberals, his global warming position maintained in the face of all common sense, and his failure to support good conservatives in lieu of supporting real liberals (like Scozzofava or however you spell it), stupid assessment of Paul Ryan’s plan, etc. -

Newt’s a loose cannon and he has the track record to prove it. Unfortunately. We all shake our heads over such a waste of potential. And if there was an election for Republican Debater In Chief he’d have my vote.

But not for President of the U.S.

It’s not all about his wives.

This is my problem with Cain: He sounds so good, just like Newt sounds so good. Yet I wonder will he be willing and able to stick to his principles if elected. I guess I can only hope so.

But I tend towards candidates with proven track records, because I feel like I know where they stand more. How strongly do they hold their positions? Will they back down? Are they just blowing smoke?

You can never now for sure, but, a track record is a good indicator. I like candidates with track records. Anyone can sound good.

I don’t mean to undermine Cain. I consider him a brother and a great American. I may vote for him in the primary.

You and I pay the corporate taxes in everything we buy.

The vast majority of folks do NOT realize than corporations pay NO taxes!

They add that COST OF DOING BUSINESS into the final cost of whatever they sell.

The PURCHASERS of their product end up paying the tax that was assessed (wink-wink) the corp.

No, I asked the question because she used the term “dead dunk” which is of no meaning to me. I wanted her to clarify that, and her context of Mormonism along with our Founding Fathers. She has clarified her statement and I’m satisfied.

But then again, there are many who are totally incapable of making those simple distinctions.

Oh?

They know EXACTLY what they are doing; trying DESPERATELY to find ANYTHING to make us SHUTUP with all of the UGLY FACTS about MORMONism being exposed.

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

August 1st, 2011

The message for this month is -

...to IGNORE the FACT that the Christians on FR HATE us!
We've been taking a beating on the Internet - especially from those hateful ANTIs on FreeRepublic!
 
However, every time one of us call them ANTIs a HATER, they up and CHALLENGE us to show WHERE that is recorded!!  They are getting mighty damned uppity in my humble opinion.
 
Since we have YET to show ANY 'hate', 'hatred' or such, we end up looking like fools at best and LIARs at worst.
 
So, in light of these findings, you are 'encouraged' to refrain from using those words on FR any more.
 
Watch your e-mail box for more info from Headquarters on how to deal with FR.  SOMEthing has got to work!
 
Tommy

Mormons "seal" those who died outside their faith into their faith through "Temple Work", although the term includes other "rites" as well.

And the AUTHORIZATION for all of this is found in WHICH of their Scritures?

I know very little about Mormons other than what I read....

I guess when I post stuff that MORMONism has printed, and you READ it; you get really upset!

...the ones I have personally known who have always been lovely people. And I leave them and their religion alone...

Ok; we get it.

You do not care about their eternal fate.
