Ummm. You offered up the solution. Tax the income as it comes to the owner/investor. Make dividend taxes the same as wage taxes. Don't allow loans against someone elses' assets. If it is your asset, then it was already taxed. If not, it should have been. Change that law.
The only other "loophole" will be companies paying for personal expenses. They do it now with medical insurance, but they will extend that to making your mortgage payments, vacation "benefits", etc...
The best solution is to get rid of all income taxes. Tax something else. I favor a VERY HIGH transfer of wealth tax. And the rest can be sin taxes and sales taxes.
No. Given the unemployment rate, we are apparently hard up for people willing to work for the rates being offered. That discrepancy creates the unemployment. I would be willing to bet that there are enough total jobs available in this country, at $7 a hour to employ everyone on unemployment. And even if there were not, why not employ them at $5? Or $1? It is easy to make unemployment 0% (unemployment being those that WANT to work).
Minimum wage and unemployment benefits create unemployment. I understand their purpose, but the purpose goes against the goal. The goal is to get everyone enough food, shelter, and medical care to live. We do it through manipulations in jobs. Why? Just give people a basic income to cover the most basic, minimalistic food, shelter, and medical care. Stop &$%@ing with the market! If those people want a cell phone or cable TV, then they can get a job for a couple buck an hour on top of their "enough to live" stipend.
If you don't count the most costly programs, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as welfare...
Yeah, what you pay in you get out. If you believe that, I have... well you know. There are enough people getting far more out of those programs then they ever paid in. = welfare
There are legal reasons. "Personally identifiable information" is not some layman phrase. It is part of the law. To avoid regulation fines and potential lawsuits, they hash it so it isn't PII.
Unless you are doing trillions of time operations... And just because you and I cannot think of a case where that happens, doesn't mean that case doesn't exist or will exist in the future.
But is the browser 64-bit yet? Do I still have to have 32-bit Java installed? Or do I still have to prefer to use IE when remoting into work (which requires Java)?
If America is given the same ratio of higher to lower socioeconomic pupils, America scores better. Each country should be assigned a ratio that represents the real ratio of pupils. I am guessing the article is challenging that America's ratios do not match. If they are arguing that the ratio should be the same between countries, then they are arguing for a different poll. Which America would score VERY well in. Something like, how good are your top 10% students?
"...: a sampling bias that includes a higher proportion of lower socio-economic classes from the U.S. than are in the general population and a higher proportion of of U.S. students than non-U.S."
I read that 5 times and still don't understand it. Am I part of the reason the US is ranked low? Or is the writer of the summary?
Keep telling yourself that. The right of the people to rise up and replace their government when they become too oppressive is part of the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. It isn't treason if the Federal government breaks the Constitution and the people are fighting to defend it.
The citizens do not have an explicit right for guns for sporting, hunting, and home defense. They have a right for the purpose of fighting back from an oppressive government. If I see sporting/hunting with regard to gun rights again, I am going to...
And don't be naive with regard to how the US government could turn on its citizens enough to warrant such use of guns. If the citizens cannot fight back, the oppression WILL happen. It would just be a matter of time.
And no, our military power couldn't stop an armed populace. The military wouldn't have a chance...unless they wanted to just kill everyone. But then who do you exercise power over at that point?
If something more visual can be used to teach basic algorithms in a neat/innovative way, it blows learn BASIC away. For instance, an exercise where you have to organize animals. In one scenario, you have X boxes and X animals. You cannot drag an animal in between two animals (array). In another scenario, it starts acting like a Linked List, where you can drag animals in between others. In another scenario, it introduces hashing to the pupil. A simple categorizing of animals by first letter or taxonomy family would represent the "bucket" or hash key.
In each of these, the array/list/hashmap could be completed with 10K animals automatically using their methodology and then as them to find animal Y. They would quickly learn how to best set up data models. This could then extent to binary search trees, etc...

This didn't happen everywhere. But an everywhere "solution" was applied.

Then write up long term (higher paying) contracts with the employees, so they don't leave.

By that time, we won't be using binary digits (bits). We will have 3+ digits.

Even better: put a hardware device in your head.
The samples will also be exported to the US on the cheap

No, it is saying that the survey covered, for instance:
US higher socioeconomic pupils: 30%
US lower socioeconomic pupils: 70%
X higher socioeconomic pupils: 50%
X lower socioeconomic pupils: 50%
Which is not a scientific poll unless that is the same proportion of pupils in each socioeconomic bracket.
So if I yell, "SOMEONE'S YELLING FIRE IN THE OTHER THEATER" and know the first person is just an idiot, it is ok?
PS: I think yelling FIRE is ok, but if you don't, then the two are not distinguishable.
Sounds like Radiation can lead to mass killings in schools. What special interest will win that battle of blame? Anti-nuclear or anti-guns?

I think they should stop changing the dictionary and add BS words. The garbage that is in there around the use of Q is insane.
State? I thought it said "militia". There are far more militias than State militias. Like anti-State militias.

What is the term for the belt in a belt fed weapon? And how do you say "200 round {belt}"?

Eventually. Initially, the Internet couldn't compete with the phone book.

Don't get all logical on us...
Ok, then categorize. How many near-instant murders, not near-instant murders, and how many Saw-like torturous murders.
