Get a tour of super huge radio telescopes and the drive to get there is pretty too.

Some people prefer Untangle, but I have found that for Business usage, Endian Firewall is way better. Lots more options and stuff to play with. http://www.endian.com/ will provide you with: Transparent HTTP/DNS/FTP/SMTP/SIP proxying, NTOP, IPSEC, OpenVPN, multiple zones for network security and way more.

I used to think the same, then I got dual monitors AND I still use virtual desktops. I just switched from having them arranged horizontally to arranging them vertically. This way I get the benefits of both without huge side scrolls to trigger a desktop flip.

... How did I make stuff up? You issued a response with several different statements. I took each statement in turn and refuted them. You then declared I took the statements out of context, said I misrepresented everything you said, even when you contradicted yourself, then said you would not continue to respond, which you then contradicted yourself again by responding. At what point am I supposed to stop thinking and blindly agree to what frothing diatribe you spout next?

And BTW I LOATHE Glenn Beck.

Oh, I am sorry, I guess refuting your points is taking them out of context. So now you state that everything you say is 100% true and you refuse continue the debate. You may as well call me Hitler and get it over with.

Also, not a Republican. Athiest Conservative :)

Far less money in those 2 wars than we have spent on domestic vote buying. (Sorry could not resist that one.)

Back to taxes though....

If you feel that the top 1% should pay more, thats fine. You are entitled to your opinion. However, as you raise the taxes and the top 1% start leaving, are you going to force them to stay? New York and New Jersey tried the "Just increase taxes on the wealthy" to many times, and do you know what happened? The people hit by the taxes started to leave and then the states ended up losing revenue because of it. Just something to think about.

Lets break this up into pieces shall we?

You can thank the 16th amendment for that one. Since the US taxes on what people earn, not what they worth or what spend (for the part, state sales taxes pale in comparison to the current income taxes for both state and federal), of course your income taxes decrease with the larger your gross worth is, as you are no longer "earning" money, but living on investments and what not. As for it not being right, people are just reacting to what the tax code promotes. Those people who have large incomes and not wealth get nailed. Especially if you get the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax. So in summary you are confusing wealth and income, which are taxed quite differently in the US.

Sigh. Ok, first off, corporations DO NOT PAY TAXES. A tax on a corporation only means that the corporation will either raise prices to the consumers who actually pays for it, or to a lesser extent they increase their efficiency (usually by removing personal to make up for the increased tax burden). So in essence, higher corporate taxes effectively become a regressive tax that unduly affects the poor in society as the increased costs affect them the most. So go ahead, justify you desire to hurt the poor.

Lets wildly come up with numbers that in no way can be true shall we?. So you are saying that 47% of people in 2009 lost their jobs or had no appreciable income? I call BS and that is the kind of BS that pisses me off. Statistically it is untrue, and even for those who are broke, many of those did it to themselves by not being responsible adults.

But you just said they don't pay taxes? Either they pay taxes and or they have zero tax liability and many receive out and out payments from the federal government who takes the money from other people who do pay in more than they get back. So choose which on it is please.

Personally, I can almost concur with the first sentence, however I feel everyone should at least pay something so that they know that they are contributing, paying nothing and getting benefits sets up a nasty expectation that you have a right to someone else stuff. As for the higher payroll taxes, look at Social Security the majority of that. It is always wonderful to be FORCED to pay for a program that would be considered a felony and get people jail time if the private sector tried to run something like it. People have tried to fix it, but every attempt has been shot down so far to kill this horribly mutated monster.

And now we get to the crux of the matter. You have issues with people who have more money than you, and think that YOU deserve a portion of what they have. So in essence, you believe you own a bit of these people, did we not get rid of that a while back? All in all, you hate the idea that someone is more successful than you are and feel that they need to be punished for being more successful than you. Thats fine, such is your right, but if you are going to argue about it, at least let it be known at the beginning of your argument not at the end.

You do realize that the top 1% of wage earners in the US pays over 40% of all federal income taxes. And over 50% of Americans effectively pay 0 federal taxes OR get more back in "credits" than they pay in. (Thank you GWB for "earned income credits"). So at what point do you think is the fair break out for taxing high income earners?

I could just as easily get direct SIP trunking to my PBX. I like this because it merges my cell number and google voice into my existing PBX. No fuss, no settings to deal with. I come home, put my phone my desk, it automatically peers with the XLink, and now I can access its trunks from any phone on my PBX, and use my PBX to route calls in ways google voice does not support. This, for me, gets me the best of both worlds. Mobile when I am mobile, features when I am stationary.

I don't have that problem. But I am a special case, being that my cell carrier is my employer. I keep 15-20 numbers active on all sorts of phones for testing.
