  1. news for nerds? on Google Releases Android 5.0 Lollipop SDK and Nexus Preview Images · · Score: 5, Insightful

Select everything under the Android 5.0 section, hit "Install packages...", accept the licensing agreement, and finally click Install.

    again so what? the point is there still needs to be billions of transactions a day

    not a loophole, it still needs to be done, and when they sell it off, they will be taxed on that transaction. so while they will save on taxes when buying materials (the way it works now with writeoffs) they will still get hit the nickle when they sell it off.

    by taxing transactions vs goods, everyone is taxed equally, be it the person or the company

    Mt theory seems like it may work, and at the same time not affect the poor people nearly as bad, while ensuring EVERYONE pays. Its similar to a flat tax, but its a transaction tax. Instead of taxing individual items, tax the transactions. And I mean every single one. There are some 300 million bank transactions a day (and this is not counting the stock market) Tax each transaction at 5 cents. doesnt matter what you buy or how much. I havent finished the math yet but if my numbers are as close as I think they are, we can bring in more money this way, while at the same time saving real people money
