Yahoo's kinda boring, but at least they aren't pro jihadi on their software and subsitesThat's because Red China's fighting their own fight against radical religionists. In fact, they're fighting against all religion. And Yahoo is probably helping them in that cause as well. We're not multicultural – we're multipolar. |

But there weren't so many nuisance taxes, sales taxes, fees, tolls, fares, excises, levies, etc. that we do now. And their rates weren't as confiscatory as they are now. Income tax is only a small part of the tax bite Americans suffer. And while the top rate back then may have been 90%, something like only one in five people paid income taxes back then. Exemptions and deductions were so rich that the average Joe remained whole. And the government, and humanity, hummed along just swell. |

I like watching TV and if you're on the subway or otherwise away from your house a small screen is the only way to watch TV. Maybe I'll get a pair of these. |

But there weren't so many nuisance taxes, sales taxes, fees, tolls, fares, excises, levies, etc. that we do now. And their rates weren't as confiscatory as they are now.Because politicians had real budgets and set basic taxes, such as income tax and capital gains tax, at a rate which would cover them. Now, politicians are afraid to raise income tax, capital gains tax is a joke, so there are a billion user fees, each with its own collection bureaucracy. |
