I think Max needs to type a disclosure regarding his holdings whenever he mentions Buffett in the future.

I saw Newt's faith dream team mentioned, but you guys only talked about chuck norris. I'm surprised that you didn't mention Tim Lahaye, who is on it.

Did you know that he believes the illuminati exists?

Having read at least fifty books on the Illuminati, I am convinced that it exists and can be blamed for many of man's inhumane actions against his fellow man during the past two hundred years.

Then there is Don Wildmon, the guy who started AFA and gave Bryon Fischer a place to spout his hatred.

You've been completely wrong about every point you've tried making on this topic, so could you bother proving this?

I think Willard has a big edge, but it ain't over yet. MI is a coin toss, and if Santorum wins there, Mitt's "electability" argument will be considerably weakened.

If Santorum loses MI, then it's game over imo.

I don't have an intricate knowledge of US tax treaties, so I have no idea if this is always true, but it is not a standard that is applied internationally, as most Dutch tax treaties to avoid double taxation do not work in that way. They often exempt you from paying the Dutch tax (if you would otherwise be obliged to), when you have already been taxed in another country, regardless of where the tax rate is the highest.

What is obvious though, is that you need to be a high income earner to have to pay taxes when you leave the US, and this often puts you in a position to be able to lower your effective tax rate in a lot of different ways.

This kinda makes sense, obv I still don't think its a big deal but I could see how his tone could rub some people the wrong way.

For every one person worth $200M+ that drives a volvo I could find 20 who drive 2+ cars. Basically csb.

This Republican field is pretty weak. But as with all things, it comes down to relative selection.

I thought Carter was the worst president of my lifetime with a close second of Bush -- but Obama blows both of them out of the water by far.

Thus next to Obama, Romney and even Santorum seem surprisingly attractive.

The Lost Party

“Six months before this thing got going, every Republican I know was saying, ‘We’re gonna win, we’re gonna beat Obama,’ ” says former Reagan strategist Ed Rollins. “Now even those who’ve endorsed Romney say, ‘My God, what a ****ing mess.’ ”

The GOP and Fox News is completely out of touch with the American people. They keep harking on the fact that nearly 50% of Americans pay no income taxes. They say these ppl have no skin in the game. Most of the bottom 50% can't make ends meet. Nearly 1/3 of Americans have no bank account. That means they can't cash their pay checks without paying a fee. Without a large sum in the banks, banks nickle and dime customers for every service. Forcing these Americans to pay taxes wont make them better Americans.

That's true, ikes. They also could be billionaires, so there's no point in discussing how poor they are.

This is beyond ******ed. It takes less than 100 dollars to get a bank account. The people who don't have one are simply making a poor decision, they are not incapable or barred in any way from not being an idiot.

Ouch. You in NYC? I don't pay anything if I avoid debit card fees.

Edit: Maybe its free with balance requirements. Not sure tbh.

The point is that it's not that hard to have a god damn checking account. That's a ******ed argument. If you want to bust the republican income tax complaint, you need to talk about total tax burden.
