    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax[^] What do you think of it? I think it is a good idea. Taxes are collected from businesses who sell goods and services, so consumers have to pay those taxes. Individuals would also receive bigger paychecks. I think income taxes from local, state, and federal government should be abolished and replaced with this system.

    The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

    You, with about zero income and no ambition to act maturely, you will most definitely lose with such tax rules. Price of food and goods will be offset to reflect the inflation due to bigger paychecks. Projects design to give jobs to the mentally retarded, will have to close down due to lack of funding. You will be out of a job.

                          Use/sales taxes are always taxes on the poor unless ameliorated. The poor, like you, spend a larger part of their income each week than the middle class or the well off. Huckabee's version of a fair tax exempted the first X amount spent each T (I can't remember the amounts or time frame, but I do remember him harping on the idea of the exemption.)

                              Its not stealing. Cooks get to eat, waitresses can't cook so they have to write out a ticket and get us to cook it. So they pay for what they eat. I can't cook up a big plate of chicken or steaks and I can't eat desert for free, but I can snack on bacon and fries and burgers.

                                You don't know how DXM feels and how it makes you think. You would understand if you did it. DXM makes you think like a robot almost, making you say things like "The optical inputs on this biological specimen are interesting", while moving in a very precise but drunken way.

                                    They aren't going to fire me and call the cops. Do you know how much a burger with bacon and all the good stuff costs? Like 25 cents.

                                    The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

                                        Oh so money just sits dormant? Fuck no it doesn't, money is always flowing, even when your money is saved in banks its being lent out.

                                          I worked as a night manager at an icream and burger shop just around the corner from M.I.T. The raw materials of restaraunt food are not the primary contributor to the price of what is sold. And yeah, they'll fire your ass sooner or later and then you'll start posting in here about what terrible people they were. You are probably right they won't call the cops - but if by chance you are there long enough to qualify for unemployment compensation, they will definitely tell the agency that you were fired and why. i.e. No benefits
