California fiscal crisis

[_Simpson_ 250]

I will tell you why - because Americans are simplistic

Do you really think you've lived here long enough to make such a strong statement?

You need the rich and you cant tax them into oblivion. This is one of the many problems in California.

For many years Democrats have had there way in that state and to now try and blame the Republicans is ridiculous.

Really? When was the last sate tax increase on the wealthy in California? And how do you suppose they are getting wealthy?

Should I bring out the violin for the mega wealthy having to pay tax?

It's just funny to me how paying a worker peanuts is considered capitalism, yet expecting a business or the wealthy to pay a fair wage and a decent amount of tax is akin to stealing.

To be fair, people like Slim and Gary on these boards reinforce that.

I will offer you the same thing I offered Elmcitymaven and Saywhat. If you need help packing I'm there for you.

haha

Reminds me of what they wrote about a nazi gay hating politician called Helmut from Bavaria in the 1990's when I worked there

Translated:

Bayern is small

My heart is clean

Should nobody live here

Looks like you will have the joint to yourself - you and the bandidos that is coz they are not going away.

This isnt about Slim and Gary, he said all Americans. Arrogant attitudes like his are destructive and they need to be addressed.

In your opinion. Alan is cranky that his BP stocks are tumbling. If you want to get back at him, lobby for the U.S. government to nationalize BP assets in the U.S. to repay the damage done.

You dont see the importance of not overtaxing your wealthy counterparts? Times are changing and the wealthy will move if you guys keep sticking it to them.

What's ###### is is another ultra conservative living in a ultra Dem state. Actually that is just hypocritical and stupid.

PS On a side note, I am stilling waiting to know if you live in Clark County, Washington...

Nope Chelan county and as far as a lib state things are a changin.

Washington's Senate race looks increasingly like a referendum on incumbent Democrat Patty Murray with two Republican candidates edging past her this month.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Washington State finds Republican hopefuls Dino Rossi and Clint Didier both earning 48% support in match-ups with Murray. She, in turn, picks up 45% of the vote against the two GOP challengers. Less than 10% of voters in both cases prefer some other candidate in the race or are undecided.

Your interpretation of fair makes me cringe. I know its never going to happen but I'm all for the flat tax.

The big problem in CA is that the state government can't raise income taxes without a unanimous vote. It means they arent able to respond to economic downturns.

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

Americans are so simplistic

Tax income comes from foreign oil companies drilling in US waters

Foreign corporations like Toyota manufacturing here

Foreign tourists spending in Disney world

Big nasty US oil companies that everyone hates

Goldman Sachs etc

Why do Americans insists that these 'tax dollars' come from their next door neighbor ?

I will tell you why - because Americans are simplistic

Yep only evil corps. pay taxes. :bonk:

...and I have toothache and yanks get on my tits and always have. That's no reason not to live here or become a USC at xmas. What an opportunity to tweak a few backwoodsman's schnozes in perpetuity. Anyway, it's less cruel than fox hunting or firing a hell fire missile into an Afghan wedding party.

good news - since Cramer said my BP shares were worthless a couple of weeks ago - they have gone up 33% !!!

I am now worth more than ever and it's all sheltered from US tax !

Heaven can wait...

This isnt about getting back at him, this is about addressing his ignorant statements.

Just wait, Simpson will begin a lobby in Washington with the sole purpose of turning opinion towards nationalizing BP assets to pay for their tragic blunder. That and their petrol is pure #######. They refine that nasty ####### out of the Orinoco that leaves all sorts of nasty deposits in your engine. I guess that's why Audi suggests you avoid their petrol.

This isnt about getting back at him, this is about addressing his ignorant statements.

Dear Simpson,

For your information, the "String" portion of the "G-String" goes in the back. This might account for some of the irritation and foul mood you appear to be in.

Sincerely,

Rob

P.S. we're all having a laugh here, don't take things quite so literally.
