Payroll servicing can be tricky and difficult to do if you arent an expert, sometimes it wouldnt hurt considering some other possibilities.

What was in the current bill has been well-publicized – your claim is that some provision has been kept secret. If you make a claim like that you need to support it.
……………
A 2,000-plus page bill no one has read that was voted on in the DEAD of night and it’s been “well-publicized?”

Back up your claims.

“Well, Todd, you claim all sorts of things, then you dodge the questions.
You just claimed all sorts of things about the Health Care Bill and there’s NOTHING available to the public at this moment that supports your statements.
So what is it? You have inside info via the Democrats who are playing this hand close to the chest or you don’t know what you’re talking about?

You have no personal experience of any kind with France or the French, but you’re quick to poo-poo first hand account, which if you DID know about the French, you’d know was valid, so you don’t know. Thus, what’s the sum total of the input:”

@ wanumba What was in the current bill has been well-publicized – your claim is that some provision has been kept secret. If you make a claim like that you need to support it.

Also, I never said I have no personal experience with France or the French, I said I am not a Francophile. Seriously, do you have a reading comprehension problem?

You guys keep voting for Democrats with an (R) after their name like McCain.

What did you think you were going to get? Lower taxes and deregulation? lol.

Another motivating factor that will lead to a massive tax revolt will be the issue of abortion. If the final version of the bill requires every taxpaying American to pay a tax/fee/surcharge for abortion, millions of Americans will reject it. People of faith will particularly reject it as a matter of conscience. Will the Obama Administration really want to round up hundreds of thousands of Catholics, Evangelicals, Catholics, Orthodox Jews and Muslims who reject having to pay?

For those who doubt – listen to Shane. I report with honesty from my world that the revolt has begun. I refuse to pull the load any longer – not one more day. Estate taxes are the easiest to avoid. Income taxes are also easily avoided through timing and characterization lags, sales taxes are for suckers. Internet shopping rocks(for now)! About the only things I havent figured out how to avoid are utilities tax and fuel tax – although if I wanted to go get a diesel and do biodiesel I probably could. I have committed myself to living a tax-free lifestyle and so far I’m having great success. What isnt usually evadable is deductible – with enough creative thinking. It will be a million years before they catch me.

I will no longer pay for the privilege of being held captive and continue to remit the fruits of my labor as a free individual.

“This indicates someone who prefers to accept only what fits his preconceived notions.”

Like the MSM approved meme about DRUDGE, who is only as good as his links … to AP, WaPO, NYT, AFP, LAT, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC … come to think of it you are probably right about that. They’ve all been caught lying about, omitting, and manufacturing news.

todd,

One thing I’m glad to see is that you’re intravenously connected to Sonoran Alliance.

wanumba – also, when you are going to start a sentence with ‘DRUDGE is reporting…’ I would take that as a sign you might want to look into the claim a little more.

wanumba – I am not a Democrat. How on earth you think I am withholding anything from anyone is beyond me.

I am also not a Francophile. You may hate them for all sorts of reasons, my point was about actual life in France and the strength of their economy.

I am glad the French are willing to investigate previous Presidents for corruption and malfeasance. Sadly, that is not something we in the US seem to be able to do.

Interesting you rely on anecdotal evidence rather than actual facts. This indicates someone who prefers to accept only what fits his preconceived notions.

There are retail stores and restaurants closed already – big blank holes at strip malls, shopping malls, city and town streets. Construction and trades are DOWN DOWN DOWN. NO one can make a sensible business decision when they do not know what the Democrats intend to attack next month or the month after that or in six months or one year. So, unemployment is going UP.
But the spending-intoxicated Democrats want to insert a giant, inefficient bureaucracy between patients and doctors. This gives politically connected Democrats a chance to get unbelievably rich. Already, it’s being reported that stimulus money is being directed to Democratic Party districts 2-1 over GOP districts.
WHat a surprise! Force money thru government and the politicians and bureaucrats take their cut.
Classic Third World governance. Government as the means to wealth, not business.
It’s just stunning that Democrats actually think they can do all this without destroying the country.

Interesting. I actually can’t imagine a bill that is farther away from takeover of the health care industry. No public option, nothing tied to Medicare payments, looks like a big hand out to the health insurance companies.

@wanumba – one assumes you think you can sell this nonsense about France because most readers here have never spent time there, it is not a depressing life.

Oh, and the French have been doing rather well through the current financial crisis.
…………….
How do you KNOW the bill has all those things? DRUDGE is reporting that Reid is hiding the bill.
You a Democrat partisan helping withhold info about the bill from Republicans and the PUBLIC?

And Oh! A Francophile! Where do you stay in France and how often do you go?

How is Ex-President Chirac’s embezzlement trial going?

Our kid’s French school was burned to the ground by rampaging mobs who were furious at the French for selling them out in a cease fire negotiation, the French were chased out of the country … losing millions of francs of assets and private businesses. We got an earful from French citizens about their problems and lack of future in France.
We passed this on in good faith, but Todd’s worldview can’t handle it so he must blot it out as inconvenient. Can’t have people sitting up and saying, “You mean the media is feeding us a pack of lies?” or perhaps, “Why doesn’t the media TELL us this stuff?”
Uninformed people are easily mislead by those who do not have their best interests at heart.

DSW – my statement refers to all taxes not just federal. In total people at all income levels pay the same percentage in taxes, the difference is what type of taxes.

You chart does bring up another issue. Today corporate taxes make up 12% or less of federal revenue. In the 1950′s it was 28%. Thus shows the dramatic shift in tax sources at the federal level.
