Do you think the guy who used to make $50k and paid $15k in taxes now suddenly has $50k to spend? Nope. To pay for the corporate taxes, the guy's employer has to drop his salary to $35k/yr. Or they have to raise their prices, meaning that the $50k the guy takes home can now only buy as much as $35k used to buy when he was paying $15k in personal income taxes.
Nope! If they were bringing in $1,000,000 before his salary of $50k, they would end up paying taxes on the $950,000. Any money spent that is essential for the operation of a business, is not taxed. That is why stock dividends are paid out after taxes; they are not essential for the running a of business.
So yeah, it's great for people who come from other countries to work, but it came at the expense of the American people who used to be able to afford vacations, health care, and college but now no longer can.
We can still afford it, we just use credit to make up the difference. The only time we should worry is when the banks stop handing out that credit... like 4 years ago.
I agree that there are pluses and minuses to having ADHD. I'm able to keep track of a huge amount of information, however, getting that information out in a manner that makes sense is extremely difficult without the medication. Writing essays for school is a challenge because the transition from a thought in my head gets garbled by the time I write it on paper.
One of the funny things about having ADHD is that you're able to follow someone with ADHD quite easily, while everyone else is confused.
It doesn't help a person WITHOUT ADHD to think any better, that is the key difference. ADHD medications will just make a regular person hyper, not focused.
ADHD medications don't actually improve your ability to remember and think. They allow the taker to concentrate on the task at hand, without the brain going onto different topics because of key words. Think of the recent Microsoft Bing commercial where two people are talk, then one of the people starts talking about a different subject because of a word. Then other people start talking about other things and before long it turns to chaos. That's what it is like to have ADHD, but in your brain.
Just like the all of the banks who created mortgage-backed securities; they knew that those securities weren't worth the paper they were written on, but some sucker on the market would gladly buy it and would be left holding the bag when the housing market would collapse. Too bad so many other banks bought those securities and we had a credit crunch.
This semester, my accounting professor is requiring us to get WebTutor on Blackboard. Luckily I took the course last semester, realized that WebTutor doesn't really add to the course (over the book), and I'm skipping it this semester. Hopefully the professor won't kick me out because I don't have it.
Really? The economy was still going uphill until his budgets went into effect? Then maybe you should return your 2008 $300 stimulus check and realize that any of Obama's budgets that he signed, did not take effect until 2010.
Meanwhile, ignore your own idiocy about economics:
1. The government is a source of wealth.
2. You can tax-and-spend-and-regulate your way out of a U6 unemployment rate of close to 20% after the loss of millions of jobs.
3. "It's all BOOOSH'S!!!! fault", despite the fact that the dot-com bubble and housing bubbles BOTH started under Clinton (and Bush even tried to fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but was thwarted by Dems like Barney Frank)
4. "ReTHUGlicans are in bed with bankers", despite the FACT that DEMOCRAT Jon Corzine's company "disappeared" billions of dollars of client money and will face no charges from Obama's corrupt DoJ (led by corruptocrat-in-chief Eric "My People" Holder)
1. What or who are you reffering too?
2. Taxes are hugely unbalanced with income made by "investments" being taxed at a much lower rate than by income made by doing actual work. Regulation is too make sure that individuals aren't hurt by unscrupulus practises; a lack of enforcement has caused this economy a world of hurt. Would you eat at restaurants if you might get sick from the food, because they were unregulated?
3. Nobody blames Bush for the.com or the housing bubble. It's been the deregulations and non-enforments that has everyoneupset. What did you do with your $300 stimulis check in 2008?
4. Yes, the dems can be just as bad, but the insistence that more and more deregulation for an industry that has caused so much trouble is shocking. It would be like saying that football players are being hurt because of all of the rules about tackles and the NFL should allow tackles after play has stopped so the players would be mentally preparred to be tackled at any time.
With all of their assets in the bank, they could do more R&D or they can start absorbing other companies. Looks like we know what their plan is now; I expect Apple technology to be at the same level as everybody else, from here on out.
I've long proposed that Municipalities build their own networks, and then lease the management and fiberplant with specific parameters about things that are important to them
Like Utah's UTOPIA? It's on the Utah's republicans hit list, btw.
The 1% make most of their money through capital gains. Since capital gains are taxed at a different rate than ordinary income, it makes a huge difference when tax season comes around. In the mean time, more and more middle income families are getting caught in the a Alternative Minimum Tax, which the republicans in Congress have had the better part of a decade to fix, but their focus has been on making sure tax rates on the highest end of the pay scale fall faster than those on the lower end of the pay scale.
Obviously English is not his first language; all normal people on here realized what he was trying to say and did not feel the need to point out his mistakes. I'm sure that nobody respects you in life because of your constant need to point out others failures while not listening to what they're trying to communicate.
I know I'm getting OT, but I have a serious question. It looks like I'll need visio for a class and possibly my career, are there any great open source alternatives for visio?

The going over the fiscal cliff and the hitting the debt ceiling are two separate things. We won't hit the debt ceiling until at least mid January...

Fill the empty "surveillance cameras" with C4 and a movement sensor. Much more effective.
Last "thoughts" of the sensor: "I see something! I see something!" **BOOM**
You got the date wrong, it was 2001

Because then the terrorist would WIN!
Imagine a beowolf cluster of those!

Gen X's are those born through late 70's, early 80's; Gen Y, AKA Millennials, are those born from early 80's and on

Let's start with the debate if this is irony or not. GO!
