Roy Baty gets the zot!

Roy Baty : I hope Romney Wins!

Admin Mod: Wake up! Time to get zotted!"

I think sometimes the boss is so fast on the draw, we get little time to play with them, like a mouse on a string.

[bcsco]

I sure hope Romney beats Newt, they are both moderates but I do not look forward to seeing sleazy Newt on my TV for the next 4 years! Also, Romney did not make money from Fannie Mae like the newtster.

Roy Baty is batty! Roy Baty is batty! I mean, come on, sometimes these things just write themselves...

Now for the fun...

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

And if we were represented, what would the tax rate be????

[Psalm 144]

Tell you what.

Lets line all of Newt’s wifes up head to foot and measure how long they are together.

Then lets line up everyone who was aborted with in Massachusetts taxpayers’ money under Romney’s HealthControl, and see which line is longer.

[Psalm 144]

Ah the perils of cut and paste edits before the first cup of coffee . . . Should read:

The Mitt-Heads are relentless and the zot pings are coming fast and furious. Maybe we need a space age zotting tool? Atari makes one.

Our founding fathers had tax rates of about 3%. Compare that to what it is today, around 55% is taken by federal, State and local taxes. 55%. Half. Just how is that fair? It isn’t. Nowhere in our Constitution does it say “Take half from one group and give it to another”.

[CodeToad]

That would be awesome!

[Old Sarge]

Oh wow, “Missile Command”! I loved that game!

“Of course if Newt gets his way and drastically cuts the income tax, then the federal government can’t possibly live on the reduced tax revenues and that has the establishment in a panic.”

Actually, if Newt gets to implement his plan, the economy would likely rebound enough that federal tax revenues went UP. A LOT.

I’ve seemed to miss something on your post. Where did I state we had to “take half from one group and give it to another?”

My basic statement stated that ALL AMERICANS pay the SAME tax rate as anyone else...no exceptions. However, under the income tax laws over 40% don’t pay any tax at all!!!!! Take a wild guess who pays their tax burden?

Since any type of individual income tax is reported by the individual, complete with a whole host of exceptions, they can cheat...which in turn, causes the honest payers to pay more. With a sales tax that has no exceptions other than businesses buying physical materials and inventory to either sell directly or indirectly through manufacturing or direct sales in which the tax will be paid upon the sale, everyone from whores, crackheads, illegals, welfare cheats,and a whole host of those not currently paying DON’T REPORT THEIR INCOME TO THE GOVERNMENT, they actually pay the tax upon the purchase of all goods, entertainment and services they buy.

The value of the sales tax is if you wish to save money you can without taxation by the government. When you spend it, you are taxed.

How much more fair can that be?

This kitty has just about seen it all now in the way of idgits.

I thought Bozo the Clown Died years ago.

Both moderates?

Yuze Bat Shiite Crazy...

[N. Theknow]

I see you have already been banned but maybe you will still be able to see this: Romney has over $500,00 invested in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

And when Romney ran Bain Capital, they had even more than that.

As for Newt making $1.6 million of them.

I could have advised them the same way Newt did for a few dollars less. And they would have ignored my advice as well as Newt's.

Wow. These class warriors are either ignorant or flat out liars. I suspect a little of both. Anyone discussing the issue that doesn’t understand that investment $ is very likely already taxed....

Shades of Buddhist monks. I guess he is joining Glenn and Ann.
