Those Dirty, Rotten Taxes
5th line wingnutt replied to 5th line wingnutt's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
Sure it is. Halliburton is getting paid for providing goods or services. The welfare client is getting money for nothing (except possibly his vote). In the latter case money goes from the taxpayer to the government to the client with nothing in return. How is this not wealth redistribution. -

Leftists believe in the redistribution of wealth. Now you are going to get more of it. Oh, well. -

I grew up in Jersey and my parents lived there until my Dad died. Their property taxes were outrageous, too. -

I left NY partly because the economy was bad and the taxes were too. I left in 1994, have there been tax increases since then? I really did not know it was that bad. Y'all need to march on Albany with torches and pitchforks. -

It only hurts if you are paying more than 10K in state and local tax. How many middle class folks is this? -

Unions, are you for or against
5th line wingnutt replied to North Buffalo's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
I agree, and it goes double for public sector unions. -

Where did you get this data? -
Show us your leanings!
5th line wingnutt replied to Randall Flagg's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
!st bold: Why is this bad? 2nd bold: Absolutely poorer or relatively poorer? 3rd bold: We just got done lowering these rates and the economy took off after almost a decade of slow growth. I think the rates ought to be lowered even more. 4th bold: cut spending. 5th bold: I do not think much of boomers either and I am one. -

I do not see where either of these disavow personal morality. Why do you think this? -
I have never taken a hard look at advanced stats but try this on for size... Take a random defenseman, I'll call him Nathan Beaulieu, (not his real name) and suppose that he plays a good, steady game for the most part. He will have a really good CF%. Now add in, on average, 2 catastrophically bad mistakes per game, resulting in 1.5 shots and .75 goals. This lowers his CF% from really good to just plain good. His goal differential will suck. We use CF% because of sample size. Maybe CF% is a good predictive stat but goal differential is a better explanatory stat.
