It should be quite obvious to you what happens when we tax people on what they own. We already have this: it's called property (or school) tax. It's what causes people to sell their homes and move, because they can't afford to live there anymore. These are usually people in or near retirement. If you think it's OK to kick old people out of their homes-- because we all know, they're such drags on society-- then you can have your draconian property tax.

You still won't eat the rich, which is what you obviously really want.

I'm starting to think that having private citizens pay any tax directly to the federal government is a problem. It completely overrides their right to govern themselves at the state and local level. Because the federal government is entitled to so much of the people's wealth, it is given de facto power over everything. Disagree? Then ask why every state's drinking age is 21.

I don't know about AC but I bought a made in the USA Moto X (1st gen) and a made in South Korea Galaxy S5, both are first world countries with non-deplorable working conditions.

Those people who think that local weather is a good indicator of global climate need to read a book.

I didn't know that Republicans were forcing private universities in other countries to cut their budgets. They are more powerful than I'd imagined.

And as someone who has to deal with invasive Japanese roses on his property, those can be a formidable obstacle in numbers.

Don't be silly. D.C.'s draconian gun control laws make that simply IMPOSSIBLE.

Maybe they'd have enough energy to catch the fence jumpers if they weren't so tuckered out by patronizing Colombian prostitutes.

Doesn't have such a negative visual aspect as a perfectly secure fence, doesn't involved major works such as a "medieval" moat etc? Would look like theres nothing there.

Fairly cheap as well.

Or turn over the outer lawns to rabid badgers.

The street circuits are mainly used because they raise greater awareness that a race is being held than if they went to an existing race track and relied on traditional marketing for the races.

Also, how about you take your undue criticism and stick it - how about you come up with a better formula and make it work? The entire point of starting it now is because the technologies aren't mature enough - getting manufacturers to push development in order to win races is what drives the technologies here (see how much stuff has come out of F1).

The cars are stock for the first season for cost reasons, for the second season there are several chassis builders and several power unit suppliers signed up, so there will be a better spread of performance amongst the pack.

I'm personally not so sure about it surviving a court challenge anyway - the FCC decided suddenly to substantially change the regulatory system for an established, massive market, bring in a huge swathe of new rules and regulations for existing major players. I don't feel comfortable where a government agency can something of that scale to an established market without any new laws passed.

Walmart and McDonalds are most certainly hated for the products they provide. They're just big enough that they don't need to care. They can be viewed as crap by a large chunk of the population and still make money on what's left.

There are plenty of mindless bargain hunters and people with no taste.

Some of us are doomed even if most women don't know this secret.

Yeah, let's go with that logic next time a major healthcare website is hacked and your private data is suddenly plastered everywhere.

Or, let's realise there is no restriction on how much blame there is to go round, and we blame Apple for having bugs in their software, and we blame Google for going out of their way to exploit a bug in Apples software.

Google deserves to be slapped down for this.
