"What did you mean about useless billionaires and their heirs?"

ha ha ha ha. I never said that. The misquote is typical of the sleazy tactics pulled by the flat tax con-artists.

And their Kool-Aid drinkers, of course.

Yes you did.

But it wasn't a misquote. We just want to know if you're a class warrior or not.

Now, who's the liar?

ha ha ha ha.

Your lack of reading comprehension is stunning. I, and anyone else with an IQ over 100 can look back at the posts and laugh at you.

I will transfer the lack of intelligence you displayed by the inability to parse a simple sentence as just additional evidence that the FT supporters are a bunch of ignorant goons.

The people who will make out HUGE are the billionaires and their useless heirs.

Post 228.

You did say that. Why the denial?

He's merely trying to "thread the needle" on you. A word wih switched position allows him to pretend it means something other than it clearly did. Nightie uses the same stunt all the time.

This poster must be one of the lib SQL crowd.

What a fool.

I guess that's all they've got left.

Sometimes the rate is too high. Sometimes it's too low.

Everything about the income tax is really bad, but they like it.

I wonder why?

Nice try, but it's too back everything is recorded on this forum. That's not good for fast-talking con artists who would be held to what they say - like the FT hustlers.

Ahem - you are welcome to read the original quote. It wasn't *I* that switched the words later.

Wonder why the original quote had to be changed to support the position? Kind of highlights the fact that the only thing holding up the FT is lies and distortions.

I DID read the original quote.

Nothing "fast-talking" about it at all, friend. No matter whether the word "useless" is in either of the two spots, the meaning of the post is still the same.

You're trying to promote class-warfare by claiming that high income folks (and heirs) are somehow benefitted by the FairTax - and that is an outright lie ... nor have you been able to offer anything to back up such an outrageous statement.

Unfortunately for you the posts on the thread ARE retained and you cannot now go back and alter what you posted. Moving the one word to a slightly different location does not change the meaning of the post at all.

If that's the totality of your argument you'll join the likes of Looey, Nightie, Rongie, etc. as well-known SQL liars and mis-directors.

Well, that the end of you as someone who might have a rudimentary understanding of the language.

Well, no, I understand the language just fine - but YOU don't seem to. Show us how the repositioning of the word "useless" changes the meaning of your post. (hint: it doesn't).

You are now merely attempting the dishonesty of trying to twist and turn and wiggle your way out of your lie. Guess you don't like being pinned with a lie just like some others on the thread. Same lib outlook - say or do anything no matter how utterly ridiculous to try to discredit the FairTax and never own up to any lie.

It won't work as most of those reading the thread are up to speed on those sorts of tactics - they are quite common by the SQL crowd. And, oh yes, we know you'll never discuss how the single-word repositioning changed the meaning of your post (since it didn't but just gave you a red herring). You're hardly the first to try those stunts.

I don't have to. Anyone with an eighth grade reading comprehension level will see it as obvious. Any further clarification effort would be pearls before swine. Or before pigdogs. Or whatever.

Did you miss the 'IF' and 'THEN" in that statement?

Do you collect a paycheck? Why not let the government have it all?

Do you have savings and investments?

IF you believe the garbage that you posted, THEN . . . .

Get it? Besides, what is so offensive in that statement? Rather than take offense, shouldn't you turn the other cheek?

You're certainly barking up the wrong tree. The meaning of your post is quite clear and not changed at all even if the word were left completely out.

You SQL types never try to explain why you love the present system so. Perhaps you're really too inarticulate. It's apparent you were caughe in a lie in your original post of trying a bit of class warfare that backfired on you.

Mr Partial Reader,

Read the entire sentence -- "...billionaires and their useless heirs...

I didn't say that you said that the billionaires didn't earn their money. I asked you if you thought that their heirs were intitled to it (through inheritance, with or without your judgment and blessing). Do you? If not, should the government confiscate and redistibute it?

Well, sounds like your argument is about done, and you came up dreadfully short.

Just "declare victory" and head for home, eh?

"I didn't say that you said that the billionaires didn't earn their money."

You tried to say I did. That's when I knew you weren't playing with a full deck, and this wasn't a real debate - from your post:

"If anyone leaves their heirs a billion dollars or even fifty thousand, are you saying that they haven't earned it..."

You're a twisty-turny one. No doubt you might fool a few dimwits - or people that aren't paying attention. But any intelligent person listening will see through your cheap tricks.

Interesting - but why do we have to wait for an attack on DC? He, heh.

I'm not "heading" anywhere. I'll be around for longer than you would care to be and I assure you I will be working for passage of the FairTax.

You can continue with your idiotic devense of the current system as you choose. You are convincing no one; nor is your pathetic class warfare effort (which you can't even back up).

Great! And with vociferous support from nit-wits such as yourself the FT will always be a big joke.

"You can continue with your idiotic devense of the current system as you choose. You are convincing no one; nor is your pathetic class warfare effort (which you can't even back up).

ha ha ha ha. Gee, maybe you will be around longer than me.

Because if you keep this up I am going to die laughing.

You not only are offering no defense of the present system, you're not making any definitive headway trying to attack the FairTax.

Insults to FairTax supporters aren't the same thing - but apparently you're too stupid to realize that. Regardless of whatever you do, the FairTax is going to become the tax law for the country. I'll bet that really grabs you, dosen't it?

The FairTax treats all taxpayers equally fairly and is revenue neutral to boot. In addition it will kick off a great economic boom in this country as it makes our exports (for one thing) far more competitive. You're too ignorant
to realize that, too, no doubt.

Since you're so uninformed, here are a couple of links to learn from:

http://www.fairtax.org/index.html

and the bill itself:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.25:

Spend some time ... you'll learn a lot.
