  10. Re:Of course... on Google Warns Irish Government Against Tax Increase · · Score: 1

    I am opening a country today. You are welcome to launder all your profits through me, for 0.0001% tax. You don't need to hire "my people" you even need a mailing address in my territory.

    Now I'm rich and you're less poor.

    Corporate tax is double taxation. Does it really take 70% of the economy's output (sum of national/state/local taxes for corporation/individual wage/consumption, let alone inflation) to run government in this modern age?

    Just some more notes I was holding on to comparing Obama and Bush:

    >> As President, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counter-terrorism operations and support NATO's efforts against the Taliban. As we step up our commitment, our European friends must do the same, and without the burdensome restrictions that have hampered NATO's efforts. We must also put more of an Afghan face on security by improving the training and equipping of the Afghan Army and Police, and including Afghan soldiers in U.S. and NATO operations.
