I have no idea what you do for work, but if you manage something, you
cannot manage anything based on theories, you have to deal with
reality, and what has happened in the past, and applying it to the
future.

And another thing that helps is the ability to anticipate.

Well, gee, Randy, I'm so glad you brought it down to reality. You're so
much smarter than me. You think of everything.

You're also so much smarter than Daniel J. Mitchell, *PhD*. He's only a
senior researcher at the Heritage Foundation. Here's a few things he
has to say about the flat tax.

Here's a few exerts:

There is widespread consensus that the current tax system is a complicated failure that hinders the nation's growth while allowing the politically well-connected to manipulate the system to get special breaks that are not available to average workers and businesses. This is stimulating a great deal of interest in shifting to a sim­ple and fair flat tax. For instance, President George W. Bush has appointed the President's Advisory Panel on Tax Reform to recommend options for fundamental tax reform,[1] the Department of the Treasury has produced extensive analysis of the flat tax and other reform options,[2] and lawmakers on Capitol Hill are exploring various ways to reform the tax code.

a flat tax would lower marginal tax rates and eliminate the tax bias against saving and investment, thus ensuring better economic performance in a competitive global economy
A Single Flat Rate. All flat tax proposals have a single rate, usually less than 20 percent. The low, flat rate solves the problem of high marginal tax rates by reducing penalties against productive behavior, such as work, risk taking, and entrepreneurship.

Note there that it says specifically "usually less that 20%." But you
say 20% wouldn't cover everything. Because you know reality.

And here's a nice little article from someone who believes in more
freedom, less government intervention:http://www.freedomworks.org/informed/issues_template.php?issue_id=2565

Even stinkin' Bulgaria can do a *10%* flat tax:

But you know more reality. You're so smart.

And I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm full of crap.

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA

And you know what the Heritage Foundation thinks of you, NOTHING. I
will tell you the truth, by your using them, NOW you are down in the
Kozel, Jackie Baby, and Georgie Boy Conk subbasement.

They are nothing but bull*** to protect the rich. Now if you want to
use their bull*** stats, you go right ahead, but now I think
absolutely nothing about you or what you say.

But I will say one thing, at least you came clean.

And what does Mr Heritage Idiot say about the collapse of the housing
market upon adoption of a flat tax?

What do you say about it?

Oh sure, GWB, boy that is impressive. After 6 years there is nothing
he has not done to coddle his wealthy friends, but what has he done
for you??? And he is studying it, yeah that impresses me, it really
does, considering GWB is such a wonderful tool of the idiots at the
Heritage Foundation.

Now I wonder, are they subsidizing you like they are subsidizing
Kozel, Jackie Baby, and Georgie Boy? Did they pay for your education
or maybe they helped you with your house.

Yeah, mention the Heritage Foundation really impresses me. And you
talk of the pervasiveness of wealth on the govt, Rich you are nothing
but a HYPOCRITE. And I am telling that to your face.

Comparing the US and Bugaria, oh man what absolute brilliance. That
sounds like something Heritage Bull*** would come up with.

Rich, I hope whatever it was they gave you was worth it, because you
have sold yourself to them. And frankly you should be ashamed.

Randy
