      Have you read his signature? Sounds like a shallow drug addict trying to be deep. And failing. Oh, definitely failing.

      Don't, like, criticise the way I talk. It's, like, so unfair.

            Mother fucker I have a real job now. I may even have a second job soon.

            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.

              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.

              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.

                                  Get real. I have been a cook at three places now and they don't give a shit as long as you don't start cooking steaks and shit. There is a lot of waste that goes on, and me eating a meal is not going to make them mad. I don't work for the the fascist left that you love so much.

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.

                                    flowing- sure, spent no. Glad you googled that. Now you have a clue.

                                      Nothing, I'm being a ppedantic prick. Plus from memory Sales Tax was removed to be replaced by a Goods and Services Tax, so it must be different cause there's no way the Government would just change the name to try and swindle us into believing they made a difference. Next ou'll tell me it was a case of them putting lipstick on a pig.

                                        Income taxes, SS, and medicaid, they are taken right out of my paycheck.

                                        Nary a penny is deducted for medicaid.

                                          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.)

                                          By the way, that is Fair Tax and not fair tax[^] - this is something popularized by a Georgia congressman John Linder and Boortz. I don't believe it exempts any dollar amount but does deal with the lower end of the economic scale via a periodic (monthly?) check to that lower end of the scale. Huckabee gave it additional prominance after he incorporated it into his platform / talking points. a bit more on the subject here[^]

                                          Mike - typical white guy. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
