??? You need to adjust your deductions a bit if they take out that much to refund. OMG!!!

You figured out away to deduct MAC/STEVIE expenses?!?! Let's us know how!!!!!

No, that is not a requirement.

Not necessarily. Hillary likes a challenge, IMO.

Well considering those wine sodden fools caved so early in WWII and then cried out "Save me US Save Me" - I submit they are one in the same

But, I have to say, their system is not bad.

Now, now. It's not that bad. And we're also talking about tendencies, not a complete transformation.

I still want to visit New Zealand.

I say do a flat tax. 10%. No deductions. No loopholes. Tax everyone the same, including corporations and churches.

Everyone could do their taxes in about 30 seconds. The money you save from IRS costs could be put back into Social Security fund.

I pay more than 20% and I'm certainly not in the "rich" category.

I think the proper method is to scrutinze govt. contracts and get rid of the minority business that really isn't getting the contract for five times the cost, the $50 hammer, the pork barrell committees, etc. But, no one really wants to do that.

I do. That in conjunction with a progressive tax rate and getting the military money issues under control would make it so that everyone in America would have a good standard of living.

Oh, puh-leeeeze..... What a load of horse****! And you know it. The "rich" have been screwing the rest of this country for some time now, not the other way around.

That is currently defined as 200,000 per year per household.

Well I can tell you what the conservative columnist at my paper said today about her being blind while we were watching the news conference:

"OH. So are we going to believe a bunch of guys in white coats or are we going to believe our eyes. (referring to that he "saw" her watching the balloon on that video tape).

And people complain about the blindness of the Clinton-faithful.
