Thank you.

That is an excellent & succint condemnation of the flat tax principle.

I guess that makes Davy Crockett a dangerous liberal subversive traitor,

Second, it was not a disaster. It was a natural siesmic event.

Neal, it is possible for a natural seismic event also to be a disaster



di•sas•ter \di-"zas-t€r, -"sas-\ n [MF desastre, fr. It disastro, fr. astro star, fr. L astrum] : a sudden or great misfortune —
di•sas•trous \-"zas-tr€s\ adj — di•sas•trous•ly adv

A sudden and great misfortune. Hmmmm, let's find the definition of misfortune . . .

mis•for•tune \mis-"fÕr-ch€n\ n 1 : bad luck 2 : an unfortunate condition or event

OK now that we understand the words, allow me to explain why an earthquake and tsunami
cannot be rightly called a disaster.

1) By definition a disaster is a sudden and great misfortune.

2) A misfortune is defined as bad luck and an unfortunate condition or evet.

Earthquakes happen all the time. They are in no way sudden nor are they bad luck
because they are as much a part of living on Earth as the very air we breathe.

Tidal waves are a little less common than earthquakes but they, nonetheless are
a natural event and not bad luck.

I hope this helps.

It just so happens
I am right now helping with MYTAX DOLLARS

I find it difficult to believe that you pay any taxes at all. You have no
financial outgoings apart from food, and a few bottles of beer.


Furthermore, it is clear from the photos of your fine vessel(home) that you
have a parsimonious nature. So why would you need to work? I would have
thought that you could exist quite happily on welfare benefits.

All the evidence suggests that you are a typical, left wing, liberal. You
are boasting about the money that real workers have earned. You are
attempting to benefit from the sweat of genuine hard working Americans.

You don't pay any taxes, so please stop pretending that you *give* anything
at all. Like all socialists, you are a leech on society. You are probably
worried that there won't be enough left for you if Bush donates too much to
the tsunami victims.

You couldn't be more wrong, Donal.

I have paid federal income taxes almost my entire adult life (28%). I have paid FICA as well to the
tune of 13% of my earnings. I pay a 7.5 percent sales tax on everything I but in Florida except
for groceries. I pay a registration fee for my boat which is just another tax. I pay sin taxes on
the alcohol I drink and on the cigars I smoke. I pay taxes on the fuel I buy and I pay taxes
on the roads I use. The small sum I have managed to sock away for retirement even has the
paltry interest it makes taxed.

I'm doing way way more than the term 'fair share' implies. More than half the money I make is
taken away from me and used to stuff a bunch of other peoples pockets. It's wrong, wrong
wrong. And now you bunch of pimple-faced liberals are demanding I give what little money
remains to away to a bunch of losers on the other side of the world. Where were those loser
when I was broke and needed a handout. Did they give a crap about my plight? Hell no.

So I worked and scratched and scraped the whole time being robbed of over half of
the fruits of my labor but I managed to get to a place where I can be comfortable and
drink all the damned beer I choose to drink. No a bunch of give-my-money-away liberals
want to try to make feel guilty because I haven't given away every last cent.

We need these natural cataclysmic events to do away with all the slackers. Have you ever
stopped to consider why Earth changes seem to impact the poor the most? Duh! It's
because the poor far outnumber the affluent. They breed like rats and live like rats.

To Hell with them all! God said to be fruitful and multiply. They have the multiply
down pat but they don't understand the concept of being fruitful.

Take that and chew on it for a while.

So, if income tax was raised, then there would be less pressure to raise sin
and sales taxes. Wouldn't this be of benefit to you?

Why were you broke? A true conservative should be prepared for misfortune.
It sounds like you were unprepared for your unlucky streak.

Did they give a crap about my plight? Hell no.


This is a typical liberal "whinge". A real sailor takes charge of his own
destiny. A real conservative takes responsibility for his own destiny - and
needs no pity from anybody.
