  1. The weakest? I like to judge a society on how much opportunity is provided and I’d suggest that we wouldn’t see millions of people willing to break our laws just to get into America year after year if they didn’t believe we indeed still provide that opportunity.
  2. I think Nashville or Vegas. Both would be destination locations for the thousands of traveling fans. I’ve never been big on the Atlanta stadium. It always looks really really dark inside on television.
  3. They’re also the same people who applauded the week long pressure/bribery of a certain West Virginia senator to pass a recent spending boondoggle.
  4. A better warfare analogy would be that the Republicans are still lining up in the an open field with neat rows all shooting their muskets at the count of three while the Democrats hide and fire from inside the forest using the cover of trees, only to run away to regroup once their positions are discovered.
  5. I can only think of one restaurant that has still been asking to see them. It’s really odd, since most people’s vaccines are now many many months old.
  6. I think he stills owes us a SECOND half.
  7. Which one is the London game?
  8. I saw something in which Indianapolis has already turned down the opportunity to host the AFC Championship Game.
  9. This is an age old debate. It is not the government’s job to eliminate poverty. It’s the government’s job to ensure that there aren’t state regulated systems in place that prevent upward mobility. (Which by the way is different from people not taking advantage of opportunities that exist.)
  10. Wrong…”.this is stressful” is incorrect. Thanks for playing. 😉
  11. That’s cute but it’s not what I asked. You have two spins remaining. You…can…do….it!
  12. I’m actually fine with some progression and getting rid of ALL ‘loopholes’ and deductions. You should be able to do your taxes on a 3x5 card. Too many people making too much money off the complexities.
  13. Isn’t sales tax a flat tax? Isn’t property tax a flat tax? These type is studies are done to support a pre-drawn conclusion.
  14. I am indeed against progressive taxation. It has gotten us into the fiscal mess we now find ourselves in.
  15. Huh? That’s what you think the Twitter story is all about? I’m assuming that’s what they’re telling you on CNN?
  16. What the $&@? It is definitely NOT the job of the federal government to ‘adjust’ people’s incomes after they have earned them!
  17. Everybody is paying the least amount possible. Seems fair enough to me. I have no idea what Trump has do with any of this. He didn’t write the tax code. Seems to me a better target for your ire would be Ms Pelosi and/or Mr Biden….no?
  18. You do realize that you’re more than welcome to send in more money each year, right? You go first! 😉
  19. We have a vastly different definition of fairness. When I’m paying close to 50% of my income in taxes…I’m gonna say that’s more than enough. (This is not 1942)
  20. What? WWII? Fairness? Give me a break. Trust me…I pay way more in taxes than the vast majority of people. If you’d like to propose a flat tax on ALL income, count me in!
  21. Both teams punters are well rested!
  22. We don’t have a taxation problem. We have a spending problem. The government takes in trillions of dollars each year and yet has managed to outspend that income every year regardless of which party is in control. Having Bills Gates pay more isn’t going to cure that condition and even if he does, it’ll have zero impact on your life.
  23. It’s interesting. No matter how much money I’ve made in my life I’ve never cared one bit what anyone else is paying in taxes. I never give it a moment’s thought. I don’t see what difference it makes to me. But to each his own.
