Posted by: Boss Moss former editor of the Harvard Law Review at October 07, 2013 01:56 AM (uu42x)

Actually the tax rates before Reagan were up to 90%. Practically speaking though no one really paid those rates. I remember reading somewhere that the most you can expect from taxation is something like 30%, after that people find ways of hiding income (company cars and houses, stock options instead of paychecks, that sort of thing).

17 I think many politicians and the media word their polling all wrong (or just right to get the results they want). I remember back when we were having the obamacare debate during the early days of the democrat supermajority, the democrat idiots were quoting all these polls showing the individual portions of the bill being popular, like the no pre-existing conditions and staying on insurance until your 26. The problem is, when told that it would cost them more for insurance and would come with the individual mandate, the popular provisions would suddenly become unpopular with those polled.

Polling in general seems to be too simplified and can be used like statistics to justify any sort of behavior or policy as having support. Just like with the current shutdown hysterics, I'm sure polling questions asked a tiny bit differently would show drastically different results than what the current MSM is finding (who are not our friends by the way).

18 Some Colbert King (ah?) at WaPo is comparing Ted Cruz to Jefferson Davis and the Tea Party to the "New Confederacy". Add that one to the list I think. Old tone, very old.

19 The old saying goes I hate congress but by my rep is alright so they will win as will 95% of them the other guys in there. Term limits are the only way to change congress to any degree.

Because our system punishes people who deviate from the two party model. We could have proportional representation, but then we get the crazy left wing/fascist/communist parties like we see in Europe/Everywhere else. I rather like what many southern states do in primaries when no one reaches majority (runoff elections). I think you would see more people getting involved and a true representation of what people want in each district/state if that was done in the general elections in the US. And you wouldn't even need to do another election either. You could rank your choices based on the candidates listed.

You would certainly see more competitive races with that, and especially not plurality victories like what we got with Clinton in 1992 and 1996. And it would also break the two party system because it would be easier to get past the "I don't want to vote for someone if my vote won't count" that everyone goes through. Look at every third party in polling. They always poll better than what they eventually end up getting on election day.

21 The Federal Government is a $2 trillion a year vote-buying machine. Good luck affecting that.

22 "I don't want to vote for someone if my vote won't count"

If you could cast either a vote for someone, OR a vote against someone, that would cure that, as well as humbling winners and keeping them from proclaiming faux "mandates". 

If they didn't get very many votes for and their opponent got a shitload of votes against, they still win, but their "mandate" becomes damned weak

If you are talking about the preferential ballot, be advised that it is fraught with problems, too. Too easy for a squish to run up the middle, by being everyone's second choice. Happened to us in Alberta. The Alberta Progressive Conservative Party was seeking to replace a popular retiring leader, Ralph Klein. Three major candidates, a liberal, a good conservative, and a former Klein cabinet minister, Ed Stelmach. Preferential ballot. I voted for the conservative, and made Ed my second choice. He was first choice of relatively few, but the other two ran nearly a dead heat, and most of their second-choice votes went to Ed, who became premier, and a shitty one to boot.

First past the post is the only way to go.

24 So I was breaking this bitch the other day and she mentioned that she' likes puppies.

So I shoved a maltese up her pussy.

25 just kidding, the Maltese didn't like fish THAT much.

26 What?  we were talking about Oil, I thought we meant lube.

52 I may be having an acid flashback on this thread -- Cool.

53 Too late to change my travel plans. If I'd waited a few days, I could have set up side trips to HOU and SA.

Guess I'll just have to make another trip soon.

54 18 Some Colbert King (ah?) at WaPo is comparing Ted Cruz to Jefferson Davis and the Tea Party to the "New Confederacy". Add that one to the list I think. Old tone, very old. Posted by: Beagle Since "Godwin's Law" ("The first person to use a Nazi comparison automatically loses the argument") is pretty well ensconced in the public consciousness by now -- and also since Nazi comparisons are so commonplace as to have become meaningless -- the left has to resort to other "as extreme as we can get" comparisons to vilify their opponents. But the problem is this: People traditionally use the "Nazi" comparison because Nazis are just about the only universally loathed historical group. Any other comparison you might make would either be too obscure or too up-for-debate. So, looking at their list of History's Villains, coming in at #2 (right behind "#1: Nazis") is "#2: Southern antebellum slaveowners." So, really, when the WaPo compares Cruz and the Tea Party to the Confederacy, that is literally the worst and most devastating comparison possible in their framework. The average person might hear that and think "What a weird and off-topic comparison -- it makes absolutely no sense." But in the left's collective mind, once someone has been compared with a southern racist, that's it for that person's life and career: the comparison alone is so powerful and sticky that it ruins you. They have just pulled out their final biggest guns and fired them: The Confederacy Card. Anyway, now that this has happened, we need to have an update to Godwin's Law, to account for the progression of the public debate, stating: "The first person to use a Confederacy comparison automatically loses the argument."

55 EJ Dionne of the WaPo writes:
 
If the nation is lucky, this October will mark the beginning of the end of the tea party.
 
To which I reply -- Nuts

56 Then again, there's always my definition of "racist" which (shocking to realize) I wrote almost ten years ago: http://tinyurl.com/22xarl racist - A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says "Racist!" has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying "Resign" during a chess game, or "Uncle" during a schoolyard fight. Originally, the term was meant to indicate that one side was accusing the other of being racist, but once it was noticed that people only resorted to this tactic when all other arguments had been exhausted, it acquired its new meaning of "indicating one's own concession of defeat.

57 All my mother's leftist nurses now say they hate Obama.

Better late than never, I suppose, but part of me wants to slap their fat faces.

Who am I kidding? ALL OF ME wants to slap their ]fat faces, because they're the idiots who put us into this previously unimaginable pile of shit.

Good point. They have been trying their best to equate the tea party to older white Southern Bible toting bigots. Somehow they ignore the chapters located in every State in the Union, not to mention quite a few overseas cells as well.
