Huckabee's "Fair Tax" just Scientology Bullshit?

It's also not about horridly regressive tax systems adopted by small or poor nations that are scoffed at by developed economies. But that didn't stop you from changing the subject...

Of course it is. You don't think this "fair tax" is regressive?

You have a hard time with logic, don't you?

And I like how you've declared that New Zealand doesn't have a "developed economy." Fuck, you're clueless. No doubt, you've never been there.

Just keep copying and pasting internet stories. That's a good replacement for knowledge.

This should be illegal.



Corn Dogs, that is.


Throw in ATM fees.


Nitro's take was dead on. (I think it was Nitro)
I don't trust these government buttfuckers with a flat anything.
Everybody and their girlfriend will be pinching off the top before it gets to the final destination, leaving them with nothing but a rubber check that only China or ROMANIA ( ) will cash.
BTW- how do we charge overseas? Do we give them a sliding scale based on their income or ability to pay?
This ranks right up there with the privatization of Social Security.
Forget it!!!

Says the fool that gets his info off a service that pretty much anybody can write anything they want...

But, okay:

A.) the article says next to nothing about the "flat tax" nor does it give any data on its direct correlation to the economy overall

B.) Romania's transitional economy is growing because it was a stagnant, post-communist basket case that has flourished because of Western foreign investment, not a "flat tax"

No shit it's going to grow a lot quicker than a developed post-industrial economy, dummy...

And their economy was booming in relative terms even before 2005, because almost any real economic expansion of trade and foreign investment is going to blow up that economy...

There's almost no real data showing the "flat tax" a fuck lot of anything:

From the BBC

'Little effect'

Apart from reducing tax evasion, advocates of the flat-rate tax argue that it both encourages the unemployed back into work and those already in employment to work harder.

But research conducted in Russia by the Institute of Fiscal Policy has come up with different findings. One of those involved in that research was German economist Alexander Klemm.

"There was some improvement in tax compliance and absolutely no effect on labour supply or work effort," he says.

"Overall the tax reform was certainly not paying for itself, in the sense that cutting tax rates has not led to higher tax revenues."

In any case, a single tax rate set at a relatively high level - in Estonia it was initially fixed at 26% - may not be enough of an incentive. So its success seems inherently linked to lowering the tax rate.

Here's a question for you, forum boy... is US GDP growth higher than 7%? Take your time and think real hard. There's no shame in admitting you're clueless. You can do it.

Well, you shamelessly admitted in most of your posts.

Go back to the 11th grade economics texts, I'm pretty sure you never had it in college...

Then maybe you'll figure our that comparing the economy of a post-industrial superpower to what is still and under-developed east European country regressed by forty years of communism is pretty idiotic and shows nothing...

(I used to think you were smart, too...oh wait, no I didn't.)

Oooh, what a dig! The idiot forum argument troll thinks I'm dumb...

Well, at least I managed to get a four year degree, GED...

Aren't you going to go search and quote where I commented on Canada's health system? Go on...go search. Go search, little monkey! :p

Why the fuck would I do that?

Who gives a fuck about Canada's health care system? I'm pretty sure you know nothing about it and will spin the typical nightmare propeganda before getting owned by actual Canadians here...

Nice edit and quote out of context. Dishonesty, the last refuge of the intellectually feeble bitch...

I didn't "declare" anything about New Zealand, fuckwit...

Just keep copying and pasting internet stories. That's a good replacement for knowledge.

LMFAO!!

Sure thing, Wikifag...

Sorry I didn't spell it out for you, retard-style.

Look, we both agree that Hickabee's plan is bullshit. So turn off the belligerent act for a few minutes, douche-boy.

I was puzzled that you deviated from your usual style...

Then why are you arguing?
