    A train leaves Philadelphia travelling north at 46 mile per hour and is pulling 13 passenger cars. Fifteen minutes later, another train leaves New York travelling south at 57 miles per hour, but is pulling 4 less cars than the Philadelphia train. What color is the engineer's lunchbox?

  7. Re:More importantly.... on TurboTax Activation Fiasco · · Score: 2


    Oh, you mean that non citizens should be discouraged from coming to the US.

    Quite to the contrary, the difference in the two rates should be large enough to encourage immigration and naturalization but small enough not to be harshly punitive. Somewhere between 2 and 5 percent I would imagine.

  8. More importantly.... on TurboTax Activation Fiasco · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    ...Why is our tax system so complicated that ALOT of people feel that they need a computer to make it a manageable task?

    Why do we play this game of "I'll take a bunch of money from you all year long, and you get to come back to me a argue about how much I give you back!"

    Taxation should be based upon ONE SINGLE CRITERIA. Citizenship.

    Exemptions and varying tax rates based upon marriage, children, business expenses... This is all Social Engineering bullshit.

    The question from Mr. Federal Taxman should be, "Are you a citizen? Well then, you owe this much of what you earned this year. Non-Citizen you say? Well then, you owe this much more!"
