Find a real boating forum. This NG is a joke and nothing more than cheap
entertainment.

Harry, Gould, bb, jps, Jim Dandy, ignoramus and the group have turned this into nothing
more than a political chat room full of childish name calling and intolerance for
opposing opinions.

Don't blame me for what it is now. I came on board when the NG was already screwed up
thanks to the members I mentioned above. I only joined in the fun.

Email me if you want some serious boating forums.

I can appreciate the idea that rec.boats is like "the bar at the yacht

I often find good advice in this group. But then, I own six boats,
and read the on-topic posts.

Harry, Gould, bb, jps, Jim Dandy, ignoramus and the group have turned this into nothing

OK. I won't blame you. Mom wasn't looking anyway.
You could, however, improve it.

Email me if you want some serious boating forums.


Sounds like you're more interested in wrecked.boats than rec.boats.
To each his own.

Thanks for the response.

You *did* admit that you're a socialist. You just didn't use the exact
words "I'm a Socialist". Maybe this will jar your memory:

Do you believe that the income tax system in the United States should be
used
for redistribution of the wealth?

Harry's answer: "Yup"



Let me elaborate here, should the government in effect transfer money via
the income tax system directly from one group of people to another?

Harry's answer: "Yup"



Or to further clarify it, should folks that DON"T PAY ANY INCOME TAXES
receive money from the income tax system from others that do pay?

Harry's answer: "Yup"


If it talks like a duck, and walks like a duck...

K-ripes, are you really as simple-minded as you come across here, or is
it an act? I never defined socialism as "forced redistribution of

redistribution of wealth. Are you claiming the USA is socialist?

No. But I would definitely privatize social security so this

The funny thing about Social Security is that it was a Democrat-founded
socialistic policy that is now seen to have failed miserably. Yet, the Dems
make it their number one scare-tactic issue. That's the foundation of your

Awww, poor baby.


I'm not poor, but if I were, it'd most likely be because of today's unfair
progressive tax system.

I find it mildly amusing that your d.f. accusations
about me being a "socialist" are based upon my support of the present
system of taxation in this country.


....which, according to your own definition, is socialism.


Not that I find the tag of
"socialist" in any way offensive


Of course not. That's most people's beef with Democrats. They think there
is nothing wrong with Socialism.

as I find very little to dislike about
the systems of modern democratic socialism practiced in, say, Norway, or
some of the other northern European nations.

As for our tax rates, I don't believe they are "progressive" enough
against the truly wealthy. Above certain levels of income, I'd support a
50% tax rate, and I'd tax *all* income. Every bit of it.


I believe in taxing *all* income as well...at an *equal* rate across the
board. Do away with exemptions and tax it all...but at a flat tax.

Let me elaborate here, should the government in effect transfer money via
the income tax system directly from one group of people to another?

Harry's answer: "Yup"


And that is what it does.




Or to further clarify it, should folks that DON"T PAY ANY INCOME TAXES
receive money from the income tax system from others that do pay?

Harry's answer: "Yup"


So, you would cut off all the millions of retired social security
recipients, eh?





If it talks like a duck, and walks like a duck...


Then it must be an American who supports the system.

Sorry, bad-breath-for-brains, but you are, as usual, dead wrong.

Next time you give yourself a root canal, stop before you hit your
brain, eh?


Harry, do you understand the difference between social security payments and
income tax? If you'll read carefully, you'll see that NOYB uses the phrase
'income tax' repeatedly. The fact that redistribution occurs now doesn't mean
it's not a socialist concept. If you, and other socialists, had your way the
redistribution would approach equality across the board. But then again, why
shouldn't a high school dropout receive the same income as you or I do? After
all, he/she is making plenty of babies, so they're obviously doing something!

Indeed it is.

BTW, I'm helping in a survey to find any manufacturing or service
companies around the nation that have done any significant amounts of
recent entry-level hiring at decent wages (at least twice minimum wage)
that can be directly related to Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.

The survey has been ongoing for three weeks. There's not much to report.

Actually, Harry, I credit the tax cut for a very recent increase in
patients' disposable income...leading to a sharp increase in spending on
dental care vs. last summer. The increase in productivity is the reason I
needed to expand my staff.

As for me supplying my name and phone number, here are my terms:

1) I get at least 3 paragraphs of space in your article to share my views
(in full, and unedited of course)
2) I get a chance to review the entire article, and *OK* any portion dealing
with me and my practice, prior to publication
3) You contact the Collier County Dental Association with a synopsis about
the theme of your article, and they'll pass it along to me. The contact
should be made on official letterhead of the organization that will do the
publishing, and should be signed by you. This would mean you are who you say
you are and you're acting in good faith.

Sound fair?
