The difference is that when you make someone who starts up a business pay all of the country's taxes, they're forced to simply pass that along to consumers as higher prices. The consumers pay the taxes regardless, always. Businesses can't exist without people buying their goods and services.

... like the Russian populace becoming too educated to put up with him any more.

Blocky, pixellated sex, I imagine.

Kind of like the GIFs we downloaded from BBSes in the 1990s.

My safe word is "ZMODEM".

Why, I haven't had five bees in my pocket since nineteen-diggety-two, when the Kaiser stole the twenty. You could get 40 rods to the hogshead back then.

So it's a done deal, then? It's no wonder the UK is in the state it's in, with your epidemic of naivete.

It's more because the grape is full of slippery fluid when is squishes. Not too many people are skinny enough to actually roll on a grape. Maybe Kelly Ripa.

Then again the United States basically ignored Palestine when it pulled israel from its magical sky god book and transported displaced Jews into it after WWII.

Not only is this incorrect, but you topped it off with a bigoted assault on religion. "Palestine" was administered by the UK, not the USA, and American Jews voluntarily moved to it mostly after the 1948 independence. At the time of independence, it had nearly indefensible borders after suffering additional partitions beyond what the UK had promised. See "Transjordan" had already been partitioned for settlement by Palestinian Arabs. The West Bank, Gaza strip, and some other small areas were snipped off after WWII. Israel mostly lived with what they were given until they were attacked, repeatedly, by the Arabs who hated them. Regardless, even if you don't think Israel should have occupied any territory gained in 1948 or 1967, you can't blame it on the USA.

Beards... seriously? If that were such an issue, The Duck Dynasty guys would have warrants out on them.

Yes, and most cases such services are paid through property taxes. If the company owns the plant and its grounds, they pay substantial property taxes. If they lease the property, the property's owner does (and passes those costs along in the lease).

We're not talking about property taxes, we're talking about income taxes.

No tires? No suspension? No wheel bearings? No steering box?

or Bob
or OS/2 1.0
or Kin
or Zune (especially the brown one)

Then you would be pretty thick.

We don't live in a dystopian straw-man that only exists in the mind of the socialist; therefore, we must abandon all resistance to government control of the economy.

slashdot's overwhelming conservative majority

Needed a sarcasm tag there.

The problem with your oversimplification is that the holy book of Christianity encourages pacifism, while the holy book of Islam encourages the subjugation of unbelievers.
