I assume to know who will get 'taxed' on this? There are swaths of exemptions, eg if you already have your own insurance you won't to pay the monthly $286 per family tax, military is exempt, VA exempt, religious organizations who oppose are exempt, the poor are exempt etc. The people who the tax is targeted at are those who can pay but refuse because they'd rather be parasites on the rest of us who do pay, such as yourself I can only assume.
If someone considers mathematics and writing the work of the devil, should they be allowed to bring their children up without teaching them how to count, read or write?
Why not? My cousin raised a passel of them this way.
Oh, the trials and tribulations of being a redneck!:-)
I lost an entire week last year (post-op) because of Versed. In defense of my surgeon (and prescribing doctor), I now believe that it is a GOOD THING that I can't remember any details.
I was initially upset about the "loss", but now feel indebted to my doctor. The time I "lost" was well worth not having to remember what transpired. I came to this conclusion after discussing the events with my spouse, other family members, and hospital staff.
I don't *think* I have any PTSD from the experience. I do know that I have some memory loss (specifically, inability to recall names of friends made prior to surgery).

Does that make you a consumer of gasoline for your oversized domestic pickup truck? Or a consumer of bullets? Maybe both?:)
(I know, I know....stereotyping.... You could drive a Corolla, for all I know...)
Thanks for recognizing that the questions comprise a stereotype. Here's a couple of corrections to the misapprehensions:
1) Contrary to popular belief, Texans usually don't buy "oversized" pickups. We get the one that'll do the job, and a 1/2 ton usually ain't it.
2) Although many Texans purchase ammunition, the "consumers" of bullets are generally at the "bidness end" of the firearm.

So, the wording that appears in both documents have been copy-and-pasted from somewhere else?
Sorry, I mean, the words have been STOLEN from another source, those filthy filthy pirates!!!

Just send the head back in a flat rate postal box. Save on postage. coffin &ct.
Remember that we're talking about a rather *fat* head. It probably WON'T fit.
The correct method is to administer an enema on the corpse, and send the remains in a small envelope.

I hear pigs can smell truffles underground, some flying pigs should do much better than the drones.
Sure, all we need is Arnold Ziffle and Zsa Zsa to translate for us.. <_<

Seriously we are using drug sniffing drones? The drones are more dangerous than the drugs in this situation!
These are pointing them out. Not bombing them.

Only a Moron would believe any of this garbage. What is the litmus test to teach this nonsense?
Litmus test? Wow - that intrigues me on so many levels...
Careful with that line of reasoning. Pretty soon you'll get to "Witches are real". And we all know what you do to witches.

Did ayone else detect the irony / syncronicity of a story posted today, specifically http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/06/22/1827207/google-touts-worker-tracking-as-own-ceo-goes-mia ?
A preposition is the wrong kind of word to end a sentence with.
Wait, so the consumers are not Texans? Who the hell are they? People with the wrong skin color without documentation? Yankees? Californians?
No... ACs :-).
