113m tax payers. 315m people. i would subtract minors, but the parents ain't actually footing the bill for raising them, now are they?

http://www.usdebtclock.org though, i can't look at the numbers any more because i removed flash.

oops, guess we added 4m people since last i looked. decided to install flash on my Mini since i probably won't be using it for much of anything. ain't nothing on it to be stolen.

So according to you the only people who pay tax are the people who net pay into income tax?

Property tax, sales taxes, excise taxes etc. don't count as paying tax?

I'm guessing that those taxes count, i just can't figure out how people can make enough to be able to pay them without making enough for their income to be taxed. if i make enough to pay my rent, I'm pretty much busting the US's definition of poor.

so since you can't figure out how to break down actual taxation information, you'll just throw blanket generalizations out as "facts"?

sounds about right :p

ps. i don't think dibs actually knows how the US tax system works and just buys in to whatever is presented to him as "facts" but "reliable sources" on the right :p

pps. 4 out of 5 dentists don't pay any income tax under the current system; the 5th one chews Trident.

LOL. the tax system doesn't work.

the Encyclopaedia said that in 1914 people were saying that income taxes were a tool for social reform by income redistribution. why are people complaining 100 years after the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment about the unequal distribution of wealth?

stating that the tax system works, is kinda like stating that people don't smoke pot in the US because it's illegal.

/me reads this while smokin :D

erm... What was the thread about again?

Lol the majority are 1000W lights. Though I do have customers that are organic farms growing cucumbers and such, but marijuana is just the bigger cash crop.

Ah dibs you got me in the mood for dranoregano.

Properly introduced, same as alcohol and cigarettes, marijuana can be of use.

Have you heard of someone so baked he drove his car 200km/h and crashed? NO! Because when your baked, you drive SLOWER.

Have you heard of someone so drunk he drove his car 200km/h and crashed?

Fact : Medical use have shown that marijuana have helped resolve some minor mental illnesses. Medical use have shown that it can be an effective pain killer, with out man made chemicals.


It's just sad that when the world governing body finally catches up, the kids will be on another drug that the black market is profitting off.

I did hit another car with my bike once while I was high. It was parked though, but did kinda hurt :(
