You "crapped" in Jim Robinson's "living room" (post 163). The mess you left behind has been cleaned up by the moderator. And all you can do is plead monkey see, monkey do. Grow up!

[Always Right]

I guess your crap doesn't stink.

[Admin Moderator]

Knock it off.

[Always Right]

Thank you.

Well Bigon, for some (apparent) reason you went to a lot of work to evade the original question...What part of your plan would reduce prices 20,30,40% for the end user...

What's so difficult? You have no problem spewing the numbers as fact...present the facts.

BTW, Walter Williams also said a hurricane in Florida increasing the price of plywood for the entire country was a good thing for America...I know idiots when I see them thanks.

[Zon]

Aw shucks, I was just having some fun watching the puppet dance.

[lewislynn]

It's a fact that, for tax incentive purposes the IRS does snoop around in many people's financial affairs.

Tax incentive purposes?

[Zon]

Yes.

[Always Right]

Aw shucks, I was just having some fun watching the puppet dance.

Was there part of the phrase 'knock it off' you failed to understand?

For those who have enough savings to live off of their income, this is a windfall

Dead wrong. This is the person who stands to lose the most under the plan.
-------------------

S9, I wrote about those people who STILL have income coming in from interest on their investments. For MANY, this is into the millions of dollars. Those living off social security are among the lowest earners and as you say will be hurt the worst. My statement was NOT "dead wrong". A sales tax of any kind is designed by the wealthy FOR the wealthy. NOT for people on limited fixed income, or those who are just starting out. Peace and love, George.

[Zon]

You are fun. Thanks.

[Bigun]

...I know idiots when I see them thanks.

Yep ole Water is an Idiot all right! LOL!

Be seeing ya Looie!

[Always Right]

You are fun. Thanks.

You know I thought my line about rolling over and taking like a Frenchman was pretty good.

[lewislynn]

What do you call an economist(?) who says a natural disaster on innocent people is good for America's economy because it inflates prices on everyone else?...Brilliant?

Still no facts to back up the tired old line though huh.

As to "Water" (as you called him) he has a lot of room to talk about anyone being non-productive. My business has done considerable amounts of work for some of those non-productive accountants and even bankruptcy attorneys, but I've never done any for a non-productive know it all economist.

BTW, didn't you write that whiney 'I can't take it anymore' letter taxman submitted to the Ways and Means Committee? The one where you(?) gave up because you(?) couldn't cope with everything every other successful business has to cope with?...

If so, or even if not, is there any reason I should pay any attention to your un-informed essays on what businesses would do in any given situation, tax law changes or otherwise?

[Zon]

You know I thought my line about rolling over and taking like a Frenchman was pretty good.

So that's how you like it.  Listen, I'm straight heterosexual and don't do the Frenchman thing so don't go getting any ideas.

[Always Right]

Are you really a complete idiot or do you just play one on the web? The line was meant for you.

[Bigun]

Looie you have been presented so many facts so many times by so many people it is pathetic! You have had your arguments destroyed so many times on these threads that you are a laughing stock yet you keep coming back with the same tired old B.S. again and again. Frankly I find that tiresome but, since I know that you have converted more people to my way of thinking than I ever could have, I guess it has been worth it!

BTW, didn't you write that whiney 'I can't take it anymore' letter taxman submitted to the Ways and Means Committee? The one where you(?) gave up because you(?) couldn't cope with everything every other successful business has to cope with?...

No Looie, it wasn't me, I'm coping quite well thank you.

...is there any reason I should pay any attention to your un-informed essays on what businesses would do in any given situation, tax law changes or otherwise?

What you call uninformed Looie a GREAT many find to be quite the opposite but, again, your obstinance and pure stupiditiy has been exposed for all to see and, quite frankly Looie I could care less whether or not YOU ever catch on! The NRST is coming Looie so you might as well get used to the idea!

[Bigun]

Oh Yeah Looie! One thing more just for the record! Dr. Walter Williams has fotten more about economics that YOU will EVER know!

[PhilWill]

"TM, Your NRST IS CLASS WARFARE!! As I have written and shown, it is DESIGNED to benefit the wealthy investors, and wealthy investors ESPECIALLY. It is DESIGNED to debilitate the resources of middle income people, and to emasculate the resources and ANY chance of economic advancement for BOTH groups."

George, do you have a clue as to how the FairTax proposal was developed? FYI, it was developed using an approach similar to one that a Fortune 500 company would use to develop a new product, i. e. market research was done to determine what the American people wanted, in terms of broad principles, in their tax system and that info was fed back to leading economists to make the numbers work. The market research was in the form of phone polling, targeted advertising, counting website hits and focus groups. The focus groups were comprised of young and old, democrat and republican, all races, religions, etc. Those funding the research went into it with no preconceived notions as to the best alternative to the current abominable system and, in fact, were NOT disposed toward a sales tax as a replacement. The design of the plan fell out of the research.

Would you like to retract your statement now?
