Without contradicting anything you've said, the fact of speed limits seems to be that they are the government mandated "flow of traffic" speed minus 10mph or more. Average speed of the fast lane routinely exceeds the limit in fair weather, and people don't seem to slow down much below the limit in the rain. In a way this makes sense because relative speed between vehicles is a big factor in safety, ie it's safer for everybody to go 70 than for some people to go 60 whilst others are going 25.
But I don't see how this is specific to the US. Commodities like food and oil have been increasing in price relative to other currencies, too. Chinese, particularly in the east, have a considerably better standard of living than their ancestors, so they're getting richer.
Are you saying they would be better off without foreign trade at all or just the US?
I'm guessing that the majority of the apps sold, as opposed to installed, are games and that those games are worth the most money.
Mobile gamers seem to prefer iPhone to Android. They're probably right. There are probably more/better games. But is it a better platform than most Android phones? I think we may see a shift. Historically gamers have not preferred Apple.
There's no need to tax wealth. We already tax the profits from wealth as either income or capital gains.
As far as stashing money overseas, I would argue the whole tax code needs a reboot. Too many incentives, disincentives, and loopholes have been created by special interests over the years.
I always find these rich "tax me more" guys disingenuous. Maybe that's the wrong word. I mean I believe Buffett is willing to pay more taxes, but who elected him king of the millionaires?
One wonders why, if raising taxes on.2% of citizens is so good for the remainder, hasn't it been done already. Certainly there should be enough votes among the non-millionaires.
Sure, don't bother to address the argument. Not every law that is right or well-intended is constitutional. And the first amendment certainly protects Paul's right to disagree with the Supreme Court on this matter.
I would imagine, in most cases, web traffic could be monitored and the browser IDs recorded. It's not foolproof, but you could get a lot of people that way.

I would guess because they profit too. Higher costs doesn't necessarily mean lower profits for them if they can pass them on.
Good to know. Thanks.
A term invented by 'white' people to describe everyone else.

Agree about the Yuan, but then what can we do?

I think the point was that raising income taxes doesn't hit the wealthy as hard as an increase in capital gains. GP is right about that.

We need a Godwin's Law for Taliban references.
Um we did vote them out. We voted out some Demopubs and got some Republocrats How's that two party system workin for ya?
Who's saying millionaire's are struggling? All I heard was that higher taxes is bad for the economy.
Um, the chinese are getting richer.
Is there a case of someone making less deceptive currency and that being ok with the USG?
Something makes me think they would not be ok with that...
"the idea that women in japan somehow are huge fans of child sexual molestation is just bizarre."
Boy on boy love is not child sexual molestation... Mmm which one would be the molester? Nevermind I don't want to go there.
Some of this may be kiddie pr0n. I'm always afraid to GIS stuff like this...
Liberals and conservatives start off with views that seem reasonable and then make rules that are polarizing.
Oh well politics is a popularity contest, not a debate.
Old people vote.
Thanks. I know too many law-and-order types who believe they commit no crimes.
Yeah but the capitol would have to move so that Austin could be made an external territory of California.

Gogo charges less on the plane for a mobile-only connection.
Seems to me that the use of a VPN would render AT&T snooping impossible. Is this not true?

I'm not aware of any direct revenue that Android contributes to Google
A number of good apps are ad supported, ads being Google's biggest business. I wonder how many google ads the average android user sees in a day?
