Well, I don't use google docs. But it would seem to be similar 'openess', as far as files from strangers online go.

If I did use google docs, I don't know that I would want to give access to it to every other stranger online either.

I had uploaded it to another file sharing site, that had it as a simple download, but that isn't active now, and I didn't have the time to do that again before posting. The site I listed still has the file active.

Do those Swedish people have to subsidize the people of the Hungarian countryside?

Your argument is also old and busted.

After repeatedly having the same reaction to these situations, I made a spreadsheet that compares the populations and sizes of US states and European countries. The first sheet is population, second is land area in square miles, and the third is population density per square mile. It also has columns on each page showing which countries are in the European Union, and which use the Euro as their currency.

Here is a link to it. They will send a link to your email address. Use it as you wish.

So the famous 47% who don't pay taxes don't get to use your streets? You elitist snob.

He wasn't asking about fraud or the full responsibility of the IRS. He was asking if their work lessens with a bad economy. Fewer people working does mean fewer people filing taxes. Level of fraud is immaterial to that point.

Also, dywolf, you say that as if it is the government's job to take money from private citizens. Some of us believe it takes too many dollars from citizens already. So your argument fails on two counts.

I posted my plan above, but I'll copy it here for your perusal:

I think there should be one one federal income tax rate, and only one exemption. Make the rate whatever you want it to be, I don't care.

The one exemption will be the amount equal to 5 times the level of poverty for a person or family, at the location they live. Use the federal Cost of Living Allowance to factor the difference between poverty levels in California and Arkansas.

Anyone who reasonably believes their income for the year will fall below that level (five times their local poverty level for their family size), does not even have to have income tax removed from their paycheck. They still have FICA amount removed, but not the rest. Since they don't have any taxes removed, and they are under the exemption, they also don't have to file for a refund in the spring.

For those above that income level, they pay accordingly on the overage, with the correct percentage removed either each time for obvious cases, or once the limit is reached for the close cases. Cases of births, deaths, loss of job, etc will be worked out individually as needed.

Again, this covers Federal income tax. The states are free to do whatever they choose.

==================
End of above post.

The main points that would be needed to add would be
A) Income from investments, particularly when they are paid in lieu of a large salary such as Warren Buffet has popularized.
B) Business owners filling as individuals, deducting cost of business items (quick fix, incorporate or pay the tax).
C) Corporate taxes. But I bet I could reduced them to a single line of (Revenue - Expenses = Net). Not saying it's optimal, but it will print in under five minutes.
D) Individuals can form groups without having to ask permission from the government. Period.

That's all I got. Feel free to fine tune it and submit the bill to the House of Representatives.

It also does not say the dogs aren't cats. What was your point? That it states something that it doesn't state?

Technically yes. Fewer people working means fewer people paying income tax, and fewer refunds. It may be a negligible amount though.

This is the most important piece to remember.

If the Bush administration had done this, the press would be crawling all over it to "expose the corruption" of the White House. And rightly so. But since Obama is at the top of the heap now, they ignore it and call it a false story. The hypocrisy of the situation is sickening.

That's not "climate". That's "weather".

And you are an idiot.

You forgot to start your post with "Dear Penthouse Forum,".

Another problem is that the battery is also much closer to the ground, so if you drive through high water after a rain, your batter gets wet. My mom had one of those cars, and that did happen.

As for replacing it without taking off the tire, sure if you have a garage with a lift. Try doing that 'hard-left' trick with the car up on a jack in the parking lot.

Also, one of my customers had a friend who had that engine blocking the oil filter insanity. That didn't go so well either.

As far as salt goes, it isn't just lowering sodium that you want to look at. Potassium deficiency is a major problem that isn't talked about much. Potassium balances the sodium, so if you have a high sodium to potassium ratio, you have problems. Having a properly balanced ratio eliminates the problems even if the amount of sodium is higher than needed. The ratio means you have more potassium as well.

I'm not a nutritionist or biochemist, so don't go off my advice. But google the sodium/potassium ratio and see what you find out.
