I think that a flat tax system for individuals would be more efficient and fair. All foodstuffs, electricity, gas, and medicines would not be taxed. Massive reductions in the IRS payroll could be applied to national debt. The remaining IRS agents would be assigned to monitor corporate america to ensure compliance with tax laws.

Essentially what I am talking about is a national sales tax on all goods and commodities not listed above (foods, gas, electricity, & medicine). Please explain to me in detail how this would/would not be fair?

Don't say vote because by the time it comes down to that the decisions have already been made.

my son-in-law needs to borrow money from his tax refund, but cannot wait until january when they file. Is it possible to borrow now and they just keep that amount out of his refund. They got back 3500.00 last year and they have another child deduction this year, that they didn't have last year. He has made about the same amount of money this year as last year. If anyone has any ideas it would be helpful. I heard this was possible but don't know for sure.
We live in Indiana. Where we would go to find info on this?

Let me rephrase the question.

Do you trust the police and military to be the only non-criminals who are armed?

No matter who comes into power,
or what kind of laws are passed?

Even if it's "improbable" nowadays, WHAT IF the state uses its exclusive lethal force to promote injustice?
What do/can you do?

For God's sake. . . . the enemy is not BUSH you morons!!!! The enemy is ISLAM and the fanatacal radicles who have promised and are working feverishly to destroy AMERICA!!! Maybe you should stop worrying about what pathetic candidate you can get in the white house next term and start cooperating with the rest of AMERICA so we can make sure there is an AMERICA for the next generation!

Could the U.S. state of Alaska be able to sufficiently operate as its own independent country, if it was possible?

I'm not a resident of Alaska, and I don't favor Alaskan independence, just that I am merely curious to know if that would be possible; even though, the state cannot leave the union of the United States.

If we don't ban guns, anyone will be able to have them, but not everyone will.

If we do ban guns, then almost no one will be able to have them, but BY DEFINITION, there will be no law-abiding citizen with a gun.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE QUESTION:
Also, if we ban them, should we enforce the ban with guns, or without guns?
Should the government be the exclusive legal wielders of lethal force?
I dare anyone to show me how the choice is anything but this:
Gun control means: Mob, gangs, hired thugs, police, military have guns.
No gun control means mob, gangs, hired thugs, police, military, and YOU!

As opposed to principal, private morality and the will of the people. I am looking for a little deeper answer than "that's the way it has always been or power breeds corruption"

I bought a camera and an ipod, I know I can get the tax back, but have no idea where. I heard there is an office in NYC and since I am spending there a few days before I depart, I was thinking it would be better to do it there,not at the airport..thank you

In brief, we have found that there is substantial evidence the President, the Vice President and other high ranking members of the Bush Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war with Iraq; misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for such war; countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and other legal violations in Iraq; and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of their Administration.

The actions and ideas of a few people in the White House has put worldwide anti-american feelings at an all time high.

Heavy internal political propoganda has distorted the american publics basic human morals and made them back a government that is the most distructive force on the planet right now. This has further isolated America and only increased anti-american feelings.

I think this anti-american trend is only increasing the distance between america and the rest of the world which can only be a bad thing.

Any thoughts?

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.

How stupid & incredibly dumb can the Muslims be to think that they REALLY accomplished a conversion of the two captured Fox news journalists by forcing a 'Scripted' reading of their conversion at gunpoint....

We ought to all be outraged at the muslims for not condemning this type of crazy behavior.
Of course, we see now what Islam is REALLY all about.

I'm sure this will really help their evangelism efforts, ha, ha, lol...

What a bunch of Dummies...absolute fools...ignoramouses;
What do you have to donate your brains to the morgue to become a Muslim...Sheeesh!

According to the news today, widows of those killed in Iraq recieve a whopping $25,000 a year from the government, with $12,000 of that coming from the VA!

They are currently going to reduce the military widows benefits by the amout the VA pays, or $12,000! That leaves Iraq military widows with $11,000 dollars a year to live on! Then the Government only has to give $1,000 a year!

You really think the government gives a S__T about vets, especially those who gave their lives???

Do you think a Iraq military widow should have to live, or do you think, like many Republicans, that she should shut up and go get a job?

Can you live on $11,000 a year?

What are you going to do about it? Your usual NOTHING?
