"When you spread the wealth around...

[Capt Kramerica]

...it's good for everybody"

[Chris Fleming]

So you shouldn't tax lower income workers, and you shouldn't tax higher income workers, what exactly do you want politicians to say to you?

[Capt Kramerica]

Tax everyone the same

[Chris Fleming]

Good luck with that. What's funny is the fuss "Joe the Plumber" made about taxes. Shows where he's at. Anyone in a business of their own should have long since set up their legal structure with C corps and limited partnerships and trusts. Those that do avoid paying a lot of taxes that the average person has to pay. The wealthy have been doing that since the beginning to avoid taxes. Anyone who owns their own business stupid enough to pay them (by not setting up their legal structure) deserves to pay every penny.

[Capt Kramerica]

Ok. Do you think someone like Joe could meet the requirements for a C Corp?

[Teazer]

He could probably do S corp, but for the time, effort and accounting costs, something simpler like an LLC might be better in his line of work.

since you're new here, i'll give you a warning.

you have exactly 10 posts here, all of which are in the OTT. you haven't even bothered to introduce yourself and you're already stirring up trouble with political topics.

rabble rousing in OTT will not be tolerated. this is your ONLY warning.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

yeah, it's weird when people sign up to MA forums and then push political agendas.

This happens at KFM and just starts a whole lot of ill feelings in the membership.

Not unlike it has done here in the past.

Maybe something in the T&C that states something about partisan/political postings in general?

If the board declares them irrelevant and a banable offense, I will no longer post or participate in any political threads. Although, I'm pretty sure I don't start em.

Look, people above a certain tax bracket have the system fixed for them- in otherwords, the system is slanted to benifit the people that have the most.

Crapt. America, (or should I say MikeC) YOU may not care whether or not people who have less survive well. Others like you may not care wether or not the ltittle guy has a decent standard of living-

BUT, given the fact that THe system is rigged to give the people that have even more, and keep the little guy down, I, and many of the other "little guys" disagree with you, and will do so all the way until McCain concedes on November 4th.

We've tried it your way, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

[ashe]

don't feed the trolls.

[qiphlow]

i would suggest that folks read "the shock doctrine" by naomi klein for a look into what happens when "the market" is free from government oversight. it might change some viewpoints, it might not. at the very least you will have had an entertaining read.

[nianfong]

MikeC, if you want back onto the board, e-mail one of the admins and plead your case. I won't ban your IPs for a few days so you can read this.
