Kid in Massachusetts did the same exact thing only he killed himself.

We are talikng about 19 percent? WGAF.....

Criminy:
NPV (buying price) = NPV of summation of expected cash flows + NPV of appreciation of asset
Making 5 percent on cash in looks pretty good if the asset appreciates in value by 7-10 percent.
This of course doesn not take into account leverage.

Again, this appears to be a comment from someone who reads some articles and watches a video and draws their own conclusions... Which is perfectly fine, I wish more people would think for themselves!! The problem I have is where you claim that the only thing goosing the throttle will do is send the back of the car right.... Sure, a typical rear wheel drive vehicle may react like that, but not these cars... Please finish the research and look at both sides if you are going to claim something as fact
Sorry Bro....those cars are set up for the rear to break right under throttle to initiate a left hand turn.....

Why can't he wake up in the afternoon?
BTW, you last sentence there suggests you've already made your decision about what happened.
Make your own assumptions about my post....what do you think happened?

Gotta go in with WEO.It seems the posters on the "innocent" of "innocent until proven guilty" are going out of their way to explain away the obvious actions caught on film.
- 3 time Nascar great known for rough driving pinches young upstart into wall.
- Young upstart - recklessly and yes could have prevented the whole thing - storms onto track
- TS - known for attitude and a whole history of mixing things up with other drivers on and off the track comes around where he KNOWS the car he just pinched is.
- TS definitely taking a higher line on the track than other passing vehicles - sees driver and blips the throttle to - well - be Tony Stewart.
Sorry - you are not going to hit the throttle to avoid the kid. The kid was on the right of TS car and blipping the throttle is going to do nothing but swing the end of the car right. The above seems VERY plausible - if not the MOST plausible to that explains everything that happened adequately.
I would say that those in the camp of saying TS was not a participant in the fault have a harder time explaining what happened in accordance with what is on film.
Can TS be be criminally prosecuted? - doubtful.
Will there be a civil trial - probably.
I also think there is an element of simple un-comprehensiveness (if that is a word) to the whole thing. It is very hard to even think that something like a typical dirt track dust up ends up as it did - and even more hard to think that TS might have completed the second half of the mistakes with a simple blip of the throttle "message".......
Whatever happened -TS has to wake up every morning....

1. I don't see how that pertains to a craptastic tax policy.
2. You say it like it's a bad thing.
The portion of Federal Revenues paid by corporate taxes is at a modern era low.

I think that's the point.

In other words, what you wanted him to do was list in detail on his website how he would solve each one of these issues.
Great, now that you have clearly laid that as your marker, I fully expect ( no, I really don't) For you to hold the same standards for Liberals. So let's see, how about we start off with the leader of house for the Democrats. I mean after all, she has had soooo much more time and resources $$ to list on her website and to "Man UP!" and detail how she would as you say :
"Fiscal responsibility - man up and present a budget that balances revenues and expenditures - and recognize that your simply not going to be able to get legislation passed that dramatically changes SS and MC/MA."
I'm assuming you are holding the leader of the Liberal party accountable to do the same, and that anything less would be hypocritical, right?
So lets see what she has to say about this topic:
http://pelosi.house....rement-security
So her plan is what exactly? Oh, I know, to punt the looming problem, the status quo. What detail, and a profile in courage.
You are grasping for straws, you desperately were looking to find something "extreme" and neither of you could find something. So now, you had to go to what in your mind was the next best line of attack which basically was "Hey, this guy needs to show us his detailed plans, or else I won't take him seriously"
At least you attempted to come up with something on your own, rather than post a link so that Mother Jones could do speculating for you.
Dude, I am not a liberal, don't vote liberal or Democratic, don't link websites that aren't simply data or historical tables as back-ups to my position.
I can't tell you where I fit in. I look for pragmatic, executeable solutions to the issues that face us. I don't see the TP doing that and I don't take solace in harping on BO....in fact I find that just plain boring. I see the TP take victories as "stopping" things....well that may be good but it doesn't fix things. i find most TP talk, in fact, very detached...so in essence....quite useless and detracting from finding real fixes. immigration, budget reform....put a platform together.....

- That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,
- That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,
- That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,
- That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
- That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,
- That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
That's Brats platform - says so on the internet. The problem of course - and a general overview - is that there is no connection with these and actually governing.
Totally agree with free enterprise - but that assumes free enterprise solves all issues - it doesn't.
Individual have equal rights? - don't stand in the way of SSM - in fact stand for it.
Fiscal responsibility - man up and present a budget that balances revenues and expenditures - and recognize that your simply not going to be able to get legislation passed that dramatically changes SS and MC/MA.
Constitutional Limitations? Last time I checked EVERYTHING that gets done is constitutional....there is a system for checking that stuff...
Strong Defense - Sounds great - problem is our defense department is governed as a corporate welfare system - look at our new fighter jet.
Strong Faith - Sure - just keep it to yourself...
Come on Tea Party - Man UP! Try to actually govern.....
- That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,

how about you produce any source that refutes what it says?
Tom does not really do anything......so......

To begin with, I would suggest that you don't use words that you don't fully understand. Which clearly, you don't know the meaning of the term "empirical evidence". Empirical evidence is information that justifies without question a belief. What you did was respond to a post from Chef, regarding how Obama has raised taxes in a number of areas, and then you responded with derisively - "I find it funny that people gripe about Obama and taxes - you gripers haven't taken the time to understand what is going on."
Then you went on post a fact of average tax revenue as a percentage of GDP, in which you then responded with - "Federal receipts are pretty much at historical lows."
Emphasis on "historical lows"
In other words, it was a vacuous attempt to basically imply "Hey you right wingers, all this talk of Obama raising taxes, you simply don't know what you are talking about, Look at my stats that show otherwise".
Of course, there is no context within those facts, such as a depressed economy and the continuation of the entirety of the Bush tax cuts in place during most of the term. Or that the ACA taxes hadn't been implemented. There is a litany of reasons for that.
Secondly," The Bush 2 first 4 years are not repeatable as the tax receipts were simply too low. "
They aren't repeatable? Too low? They are only two low because our level of spending is too high
With this level of spending, yeah, but it certainly is repeatable if we could have a more efficient government.
"RR - the god of conservatism raised both taxes and the deficit in his tenure."
Is this how you make your arguments, filled with strawmen? Were there taxes raised? Yes, but were tax rates both nominal and effective Reduced? Dramatically. Also Reagan's deficit had much more to do with the astronomically high defense spending, than anything else. And one of the reason's why we won that cold war, was simply because the other side new they couldn't keep up. But that's a wholly separate topic, but it's important to add context, which is something you consistently failed to do.
"So how come our taxes are so high? Because in the last 40 years the tax breaks granted to high end individuals and corporations has exploded."
So THAT's the reason? Oh, so I guess DOD, fraud and waste, overall spending has little to do with it. If you were to say "a reason why....." then maybe you could have an argument.
"Government spends more on Corporate Welfare than Personal Welfare"
So "Spending" now also includes the absence of taxation? Wow, this is how far to the left people have moved. Amazing! Somehow, now if you aren't taxed, that is now considered "Spending".
Having said that, I do believe there is too much corporate welfare, and one of the ways they can remedy that is by lowering the ridiculously high corporate tax rate. Make it the same for every corporation, with no additional tax loopholes etc.
One last point:
"Think 'Merica is a level playing field?"
Hey, I've got news for ya, No where on this planet, is it a "level playing field"
Adapt and move on. This thinking that you provide only reinforces those who are on the verge of becoming another one of the millions of people in this country who are so resigned from succeeding to now dropping out of the labor force, simply because they have been told over and over and over, that the cards are stacked against you, and you are a poor victim that needs to be sustained by the assailant's by sucking off the right tit of 'Merica'.
Just so you know about my succeeding: I have started 2 companies - sold the first, the second is blowing up (I invent products, patent them and bring them to market). I have raised private capital offerings and have negotiated with huge publicly traded companies to develop operating agreements.I am heavily integrated into the manufacturing and marketing of the products I develop - I don't just turn them over for royalties. I am what some would call a 1 percent-or. My investors have made money - twice - through horrible economic conditions.
I have also held public office for 6 years - and lived and worked abroad, I have completed deals in Europe, the Middle East and China.....
I am sure though - your C.V. gives you a much wider view of what is going on....
-
Ok, so what you're saying is that you are numbskull.
First off, you did imply something, which was that he was responsible for the stats that you provided, or else you wouldn't have posted them. Secondly, for the very same reason that the Tax revenue as a percentage of GDP is what it is today is the same reason that health care spending increases have slown down is because of the...........................
Drum roll .........
Depressed economy.
So if you want him to take credit for it, then you can as long as you also acknowledge that he would be responsible for the depressed economy.
You and your buddies are in a such a rush to prove your douchebaggery you can't even get your arms around a concept. You must have been flummexed by actual empirical data.
I am not trying to prove Bush or Obama or any President is any better or worse when it comes to what you and I see in our tax rates. What I am saying is that there have been so many loopholes, credits, exemptions etc added over the last 40 years by CONGRESS that they have a tremendous effect on those who actually PAY the taxes. Why do we feel pinched by high tax rates - when receipts are actually low? The goodies that have been given out.
Thanks to SCOTUS....the goodie getters are full of free speech these days....and they are using it.
Think 'Merica is a level playing field?
I know you are confused because you can't wedge it into lib/con box or vote on it in a simple poll - but hey....Obama did bow once....I feel so eviscerated
-
I suppose it was Bush's fault that he didn't secure and renew the status of forces agreement?
Idiot
Let's try it this way, two questions, two hints. Let's see if you are either willfully providing misleading information in order to advance a defense that is based off of a false premise, or simply that you're a numbskull.
1) Are you implying that Obama's policies have anything to do with this outcome?
2) Would you also say that because of the lower rate in health care spending that we've seen over the past couple years, that it has to do with the ACA OR...........................................?
Dude if you have a point make it....I didn't imply anything about Obama or say anything about the ACA
-
I hope you don't make your living in the actuarial or analytical professions.
Ummmm. These are simple facts. No liberal or conservative slant.
Shall I eviscerate this post, or is it possible that you may catch it before I do so?
Go ahead.

No link needed.
Prior to Obama increasing taxes qualified dividends were at 15%
Now for high income earners (36.9% tax bracket) they are 20%. Add on the 3.8% medicare tax the qualified dividend rated is 23.8% which is a 58.6% increase.
BTW this is also the same increase for LT cap gains.
I find it funny that people gripe about Obama and taxes - you gripers haven't taken the time to understand what is going on.
Reagan: Average Tax revenue as a percentage of GDP: 17.5 Federal Spending as percentage GDP: 23
Bush 1: Receipts 17.6 - Spending 22
Clinton 1st Term: Receipts 17 - Spending 21
Clinton 2nd Term: Receipts 18.9 - Spending 18
Bush 1st Started at 20 went to 15 - 20
Bush 2nd: back to 17 - 20
Obama 1st: 14.8 - Spending Started at 20 went to 25
Obama 2nd: 17 - Now at 23 projected to go to 20
Federal receipts are pretty much at historical lows. The Bush 2 first 4 years are not repeatable as the tax receipts were simply too low. RR - the god of conservatism raised both taxes and the deficit in his tenure.
So how come our taxes are so high? Because in the last 40 years the tax breaks granted to high end individuals and corporations has exploded. This is Dem And GOP legislators giving breaks to hedge fund managers, the NFL, Boeing, GE, the oil industry, the solar industry......
http://thinkbynumber...are-statistics/ Government spends more on Corporate Welfare than Personal Welfare
Additional corporate welfare goes to Walmart etc in the form of the earned income tax credit. Our society has decided that people pretty much need $30,000+ per year to live adequately....if your employer doesn't pay - they US taxpayers make up the difference so you can actually live. So the guy working at Walmart cost us $20 per hour - Walmart pays the first 10 = we pay the next.
The less they pay - the more we pay....
Tax breaks in the tax code are more than receipts now....
THAT is what people should be talking about....but hey BO bowed once....or twice I guess

What does that mean "immigration reform"? If you ask 10 people you'll get 10 different answers. If you actually study the impact that this huge influx of people is having over so many years and what it means for future population numbers and our ability to employ all these people, what should be done is clear. We need limits on immigrants. It's very tough to send people home that have been here for years but some should go.
Politically one party see this as a vote registration program and the other party is afraid that i they don't support citizenship, they will suffer politically. Both are wrong. The Dems for not doing what's best for Americans and the Republican for believing they can get the hispanic vote if they support citizenship.
This is such a typical ignorant view - ignorant in the sense that you yourself have no idea what immigration reform is about. NOBODY is talking about opening the borders. We have 10-12 million illegals simply because the laws on the books do not match reality. Under NO PLAN will these people be rounded up and deported.
Immigration reform is about dealing with the reality of this - but the TP and Laura Ingraham bang the drum and people - ignorantly - fall in line behind a policy that is detached from reality.

Shocking. Luckily the school is also an alcohol and drug free zone, so there's no possible way our precious youth have access to either of those things.
Maybe we should model ourselves after Mexico. They have extraordinarily strict gun laws. We'll just bury our heads in the sand and ignore the murder rate that's 500% worse than ours and pretend we'd be more like the island nations of England and Australia.
!@#$, liberals are stupid.
Careful.....As I am sure you know....we have the most LIBERAL gun laws in the industrialized world....

Not cause and effect....it was INSPIRATION!
Whoooohoooo. Don't tread on me.........awesomeness......let's go get our guns and carry! Maybe hit up a Chipotle on the way just to show the Libs whtat FREEDOM is.....THANKS OBAMA....!!!! We have to fight to get our country back......even if it comes to armed conflict against the TYRANNY!,,,,,From my cold dead hands.....we have to save our country!,,,
Think they are the only ones unscrewed enough to take all this rhetoric to heart?
-
LOL..............no........that would be a continuing (laughable) misrepresentation of the posters on this board.
You STILL think you can do it, without being called on it.....................................hu
.
Really.... Just reread several pages.......seems like your fellow protestors were pretty much singing the same tune as the rest of the patriots down there..... They just followed through....
-
LOL........................what a hoot !
Let's see.
1) misrepresent what posters on the board said.
2) what happened at Bundy Ranch and why
3) what and who the Las Vegas killers were..
It's the Hat Trick ! !
Congrats Baskin............................................
That would be a yes huh?

You Bundy guys still feel the vibe after two of his supporting protestors killed 2 police officers and a bystander out west?

By the length of your post - which I doubt most will read....you seem like you are trying to validate your decision to become an ex-fan. I am not sure how anyone becomes and "ex" Bills fan if you were one to begin with....
