Re: Rand Paul's Implausible Flat Tax

This is not a "value added" consumption tax at all! A consumption tax would also apply to imported goods! Dammit Bloomberg this is more or less a flat out lie. The hidden tax that you talk about would more or less only affect goods that are produced domestically. Which makes it worse.

Farm land is already getting a much better rate than almost any other type of property classification. If you cant afford the taxes you cant afford the land. Sell the land and help bring down land prices and then the tax burden will drop also.

The counsel and the Vision 2020 board should build a copy of the Ryugyong Hotel next to the new dome.
I have provided a link to an artical about Ryugyong Hotel for those who do not know what I mean.

Re: Farmers: Taxes making job harder

Yes corn is no longer 7 dollars a bushel and therefore many farmers paid way to much for land under the assumption that they would make money on it. Well some investments go bad.

If you compare the rate that farmland is taxed versus the rate that commercial is taxed at it would be obvious that farmers are getting a great deal and have nothing to complain about.

"by capturing a larger percentage than normal" "Though the city, county and school district share portions of a
business’ annual property taxes, a special tax district would increase
the city’s share on the property,"

The true winners are the old owners of the Oak Park Mall, the had a liability and the city of austin bought it.

I grow tired of hearing this same argument from big spending all controlling liberals. You call regulating the small guy out of business "progress". You have no idea or concern for the true cost of the "forward" movement that you talk about. How much more of your progressive government do we need before we will realize the utopia that is being sold to us by the Democrats?

"Like so many of these movements, it’s nothing more than a misogynistic, xenophobic reaction to a growing medium."
So many of what movements???? What the heck are you even talking about???? Very bad.

Re: Are US millenials turning away from Israel?

James1 — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 19:26:40 -0000

I would say it is because in the years that the millennials were growing up it was extreamly apparent that the media, corporations, and our politicians have been blatantly lying to us. The millenials do not feel the need to just except what they are being told.

If a chemical weapon is used any where that means we can got to war with that country????? How do we know who is responsible? There has been no proof shown for this.. We cannot allow our nation to go to war simply because politicians say "Trust Us".

I guess that mining copper in Alaska is the answer then because that is a direct result of "Renewable" energy. (Pebble Mine) Spending more Public money and using Government force seems to be the Progressive solution to all of our problems. There are some real consequences to your progressive ideology. Ones that you seem happy to ignore or completely ignorant of.

Thank you Tony. When will the expansion of Government end. It is high time the the government learns to do its duties on a consistent budget. Not a ever increasing budget.

Nope.. This guy is done with All things Maxis! The online problem was only a small percent of the issue with SimCity. The game was all but completely broken.

Re: A Launch Date For The T-Mobile iPhone?

Do not trust this no contract business. They will still try to charge you a Early Termination Fee. I Signed up for a contract free plan with T-Mobile (Even More Plus) and I switched to Verizon because T-Mobiles coverage was bad in my area. I payed for my phone in full and was told my plan had no Early Termination Fee. Guess what. I am being told I must now pay $420.41 in fees to a collections company hired by T-Mobile.... So much for no contract....

How about we get the heck back to our own boarders. Maybe we trade with the people of these countries rather the try to install corrupt leaders to control them.

Just to take it one step further. What makes you think that you own property. The piece of paper that states you own your home is just that, A Piece Of Paper. The reality is you only own what you are capable of protecting. And there is no amount of AR 15s that can protect your property from the US Government.
