If it is a landlord then they will just pass the wealth tax onto the renter in the form of higher rents. They may not be able to pass the whole thing, but they will pass on most of it.
They will most definitely pass the burden of taxes (...and then some) on to the renter. The landlord isn't going to take a loss on the house. They'd sell it off before then. (My parents rent out houses and they expect profit each year from the rent, minus upkeep, minus taxes, etc. They aren't going to let someone live in the house for cheaper than it costs them to own it.)
It would actually increase rent making it harder for the poor to live.
You're treading awfully close to the idea that everyone deserves the rights to do and own the same things... Just because some poor person cannot afford a yacht doesn't mean the rich should be taxed so much that the poor is granted that privilege. You need some sort of reward for success or people won't strive for success.
Yes, there is a disproportion in expenditure, but you don't simply tax the rich more so the poor can get more. It's self defeating for a society trying to be better. You are always going to have this disproportion (it's a good thing!)
Either way the rich man contributes back into said society. If he invests, he creates jobs. If he spends it on cars, boats... he puts that money back into the economy so the poor can obtain some of it to further their needs. The only way they are not is by Scrooge McDuck'ing the money into a giant bin... but someone had to build the bin. Even if that happens, when he dies that money's going somewhere. Relatives will spend it or the state will use it if there's no relative.
What your argument ignores is that the rich will likely buy more items. On a one-to-one comparison... sure. But the rich will buy 3+ cars, more than one house, etc. where the poor will likely make due with one. Putting a lower tax/no tax on staple foods helps negate the disparage you mention.
It also discourages people from buying houses. It encourages business to buy up houses and charge people rent... if they can profit from your rent over the taxation. It discourages people from saving for retirement, or saving at all. Hopefully you have a way for those people to deal with the tough times?
That's like saying taxi cab/bus/train drivers risk the lives of innocent bystanders... You're placing a guilty association on anyone using a tool to perform a task (if that task sometimes involves loss of human life.)
ROM Manager. If you have the Google apps installed on your phone, you have the rights to use them again... even if it's on another firmware. You paid the fee. It asked me if I wanted to transfer the apps to the new ROM, I said yes.

I don't even have the willpower to click through all the pages let alone read any more than the first/last page. I normally skip to the last one and see if they summed it up or if they use that space to try to generate more revenue.

I have CM7 and have full access to the android market. (Including the Chase Mobile app with deposit capability.) Where did you hear that there was no market?
Well, If you could print out concrete sections faster than you can pour and wait for them to cure, with less human labor it may be cheaper to use an exotic construction method like printing.

Printing a Building
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
I'm not sure you'd do the entire building in one print.
Maybe you print out the foundation "skin", drop some re-bar in specific locations (that are also printed in place) then have a truck come in later to pour the filling concrete. You avoid having to setup/tear down/transport forms. You can make the foundation any size or shape (again, without special forms) and even color without having to dye the entire batch of concrete. (From what I hear, concrete guys love dyed concrete.../sarcasm)
We played "find the fact" with articles from The Star ("this newspaper is targeted at men, as can be seen from the many pictures of topless big-breasted women on every page").
You were not only permitted to look at topless big breasted women in books in school, but they were given to you? I have my doubts.
For one, Obama and Bush were not running against each other, so voting for one or the other was not an option. Secondly, there were at least 4 people running for President during that election.

It would only mean that our prior measurements of the value of c were slightly off, and we now have a better measurement.
Only is a strong word. There could be many... many explanations up to and including E != mc^2.
You can map a VM drive to a user folder and tell Windows (quite easily now) to store your documents on that drive.
I thought it was being replaced with STFU... to truly tell the users how they feel. ;)
Of course, there's also the new service used for background downloading images called "NSFW" that was planned for Metro.

First to file encourages "bad"/"poorly thought out" patents? (Not disagreeing, it's more rhetorical...)
Down in the park
Where the Machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `Five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like "I was there"
Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Try to run
Oh, look, there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is "Death, death, death"
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
"We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you"
A different face but the words never change
Will they add carrots and potatoes? I think that would go well with me.

Yeah... a holy war against AdBlock will definitely turn out well for the guy that runs this site.
I think he's had a few too many beers.

Actually, my interest in programming as a child led me to pay much more attention in Math based (Geometry and Calculus and Physics) classes.

Couple that with my love for Yosemite Sam and I'm surprised I'm not blowing away Mexicans in the street.
Wait... hold on! *wipes bloody hand on pants* This is not permissible?

They mean more than nothing (ie: not voting)
