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.
There is plenty more digging to do, especially given the stalling by the administration.
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.
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.
Back in the military, the gunney in charge of our shop couldn't use a mouse. He had a slight tremble in his hand. He could get the pointer over what he wanted to click on, but by time he did click it had moved. Or he would click on it, but then his hand moved and he dragged whatever it was around the screen.
He used a trackball instead, and didn't have to worry about it again.
Then there are the hardcore kids who no way no how are following any rules and will actively disrupt your life for their entertainment. I was one such kid. My oldest is like that.
Sounds like me and my siblings, if there were more than two of us in a room at a time.
But that doesn't mean tverbeek originally read Shakespeare in English. Mr. T. Verbeek could have read Shakespeare in a Dutch translation, and is translating it back to English from memory.
Not saying that is what happened, but it is a possibility.
Well, "the Inca's" don't exist anymore. They were a group that ruled the area in the past.
As to why Peru hasn't "totally blocked off the area", it would take thousands of troops to surround the area, just to prevent the one group of morons in several decades who thought trampling world historic sites for political messages sounded like a good idea.
I'd say it is more like pissing on the Kaaba Stone in Mecca. It is something that defines a group of people, part of their heritage. Not simply some picture that one guy painted.
I'm not the AC you are responding to, but sometimes I'm not on my own computer, and just don't feel like logging in to make a comment. Or maybe the person is just a lurker, and never made an account.
When I first saw the photo yesterday or day before, that's exactly what I thought it was. Because no one would be stupid enough to go trampling through that area and defiling one of the Nazca lines with some crude political message. Right?
Go to a sand trap in a golf course. Sprinkle a thin layer of black dust over the sand, but thick enough so that you cannot see the sand beneath. Walk through that area of black dust over whitish sand.
Jared Diamond mentions some Pacific Island language that has words for "towards the sea" and "away from the sea", as in "there is a speck of dirt on your seawards cheek"
Hawaii has that.
mauka - towards the mountain makai - towards the sea
The mauka side of a house is whichever one faces the mountain. If you live on the north side of the island, mauka is southward, and on the south side mauka is northward.
Also, if you are in Honolulu, and you are heading "eva", you are going west. If you are somewhere west of the town of Eva Beach, you might use that phrase, but I'm not sure whether it would mean you are going west or east.
Unlike stick-up-his-ass drinkypoo, I like Piers Anthony's books, and always will. But if he was just some random author that got people reading, who then moved on to other authors, fine. No skin off my nose. Same thing if someone first got into reading because of the classics, or westerns, or sparkly vampires.

The ACA does not say that Federally operated exchanges don't get the tax breaks, ...
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.

That's not "climate". That's "weather".
And you are an idiot.
You forgot to start your post with "Dear Penthouse Forum,".

It has to be said: Shelly you can't be serious.

Malicious exit nodes do not per se compromise TOR...
What other obvious use would there be?
I need a car analogy, damn it...
Ok, Ok, how's this?
What if you were driving down the road, and lost control of your car, and plowed into an onion patch?
How may onions have to be run over for the field to considered compromised?

Swing it by the tail. That produces more sharp pointy ends to make contact with your child's head.

Translation issue, maybe?

No, I heard they spray painted that on the pyramid at Giza.

Now use a rake to remove the footprints.

I still don't know why people wrap up douches.
I still mention the carnival ride to people: The riders have a 1 in 1,000 chance of dying. And I don't simply mean "statistically" or "potentially".
I agree with your sentiment as well.

Good to see another PA fan, though. :^)
Yes, I'm sure you read everything he wrote by time you graduated eighth grade, and can compare it to your new favorite author now. Good for you.
Or did you just read a couple Xanth books and the first Space Tyrant book and decide he wasn't serious enough for you?
