I must be, I exhibit one of the classic symtoms. "Thinking that doing the same thing that has been tried before and failed, when tried again will produce a different outcome".
That is, that after talking to you and observing that you have absolutely no chance of rational thinking on this issue, I have continued to engage you in the conversation.
You aren't capable , IMO, of getting past your "politics of envy" in any way that would allow clear thought on the subject.
But I know you won't be mad at me Georgie, because you love me, right? LOL
Peacey weasy to youe tooy Georgie porgie. :-)
TJ, You're right in that respect anyway. But, You've got to understand, I don't take any of this stuff personal. I'm 56 years with no children and ain't planning on having any, so it's no skin off my nose whatever happens. I simply make the arguements from a factual point of view. I really think that this country has been good to a lot of people, and would like to see that continue for future generations to enjoy. And, a flat tax based on income from whatever source derived is the most equitable form of taxation ever devised. Religious organizations figured that out centuries ago. As far as my "politics of envy", I guess I could ask you about your politics of maintaining YOUR wealth for your future possibly slothful progeny and their possibly equally slothful progeny. That is what your head tax is designed to do. Maintain the status quo for future generations with no competition from "upstarts". Peace and love, George.
