    thats not the point i was making, and i for one am very happy to see anything at all being done to preserve these ancient artifacts (id like to see more ISIS people being killed off but thats a different topic)

    I just dont quite get why this is newsworthy , or at least the 3d printer and artist part. hes making replicas, which is awesome, but not really newsworthy, people have been doing so for centuries

  23. Re:How about import duties? on FCC Proposes To Extend So-Called "Obamaphone" Program To Broadband · · Score: 1
    the first part of your idea, i cant stand behind. but this part

    Another option is to just tax all money transactions. Anytime money changes hands just charge 0.1% or something like that. For the poor, they'll end up paying an unintended 0.2% tax on the money they make and spend. Something like the financial sector will pay a much higher effective rate, and that is something like a third of the economy.

    I support fully. I even posted it on /. a few times before. If we taxed all transactions a nickel, we could raise as much money as we do now, while at the same time limiting the sting of the taxes. When you include bank transactions (think all those HFT bankers) its enormous

    and heres how it really works

    For example, start with a lump of iron ore.
    Bob digs it out of the ground, sells to Pete. Pete pays the closest to a traditional sales tax, cause the value added is the value of going from nothing to something. Pete smelts it into iron, and sells it to Bob.
    Bob pays tax for the value added to the lump by turning it from a lump of ore into a lump of metal. In addition to adding in the cost of the tax paid on the lump initially.
    Bob works that iron into a shovel head, and sells it to Bob. Bob pays tax for the value added by turning it from a lump of metal into a shovel head, in addition to the cost to make the iron, and the price to dig it up. (which he then uses to dig up more ore).
