<0> above and beyond the call o duty
<1> u dont need to be a hero all u need is a plastic rock
<2> if there were a stronger libertarian party in canada I'd say vote Libertarian but there are next to know libertarian canadian candidates :(
<3> Someone who say goes into enemy fire to rescue a buddy takes a bullet and keeps dragging his buddy back to the entrenchment.
<4> sweetleaf, can you elaborate?
<2> but if you can vote libertarian
<3> Thats an example.
<2> know = no
<3> Someone who jumps on a Hand grenade that would of killed 5
<0> ya Audy Murphy
<5> jackfater: The Green Party of Canada is actually quite libertarian-ish these days.
<2> not at all
<4> FT, ok, the hand grenade I will buy
<2> the green party of canada is straight up socialist/collectivist
<5> Unlike European Green Parties they focus on market-based solutions to environmental issues.
<3> YOU dont buy the guy under fire who takes a bullet and still carries his friend back to safety ?
<3> Hey Pickle!
<2> libertarian party believes in liberty, green party believes in regulation and control.
<4> FT, that is his job
<3> His job doesnt require him to run headlong into live fire
<3> He can wait.. He can take out the enemy first.
<4> FT, really?
<3> In fact usually they do.
<5> Kurt2: It used to be, but Jim Harris has moved the party further to the right than the NDP.
<5> Abanoned most of the "social principles" garbage
<4> FT, ideally, but not every leader has a sound grasp of tactics
<2> the ndp are socialists in the extreme too
<3> People who go beyond the expectations and demands of the job to risk his life for others.
<0> Hero's are not after any medals
<2> ****ers want kyoto that useless wasteful job destroying protocol
<4> sweetleaf, agreed, but there are medal seekers, I've met them
<5> Kurt2: These days the NDP scores higher on environmental issues than the Green Party does, simply due to the fact that most enviro groups reject the market-based approach Harris has adopted for the Green Party of Canada.
<3> Bush has the vision, the generals know how to make it happen.
<0> 1st Lt's are usually dumb ****s if they surive they learn to command
<3> That and the war planners in the pentagon.
<6> egads
<3> lame
<4> sweetleaf, the LTs I served with were a very competent bunch
<0> 2nd LT's are even dummer
<2> in the green party platform somewhere in there I read they want to progress to 100% taxation
<6> i think that's a ban
<5> Kurt2: That's one of the US Green Parties, not the GPC
<2> hmmmmm
<2> perhaps
<3> I have a lot of good buddies which I refer to in middle management, that is they are officers of middle rank. Great guys.
<5> Kurt2: There's a civil war between two "Green Party" factions in the states... One hardcore-left, the other less so.
<0> I was in the army in the 70's lots of dummy's at that time
<5> Both far-left, though.
<7> that was cool
<7> I love when Bush is just talking like a normal regular guy
<6> so... Bush... his answers sound disjointed, if you listen carefully you can tell it's one answer, but his intonation does him no favors
<0> me too hemi
<5> Kurt2: One of them, the hardcore-left faction, wants a "progressive" income tax that increases to 100% beyond a particular income level.
<0> so what if he is not slick
<3> Rusty, My father has seen him talk live, he is much better in groups of people than at press conferences.
<0> I like it real
<3> My dad says he is much more impressive in person.
<6> SweetLeaf: it just sounds odd
<2> how the **** does somebody eat if they are being 100% taxed?
<0> he aint no slick willy
<4> I agree, Bush is an ok fella
<7> F, thats waht i like about this, this is just general Q/A
<0> and that is fine with me
<7> its nice
<6> see, now it's fine
<6> but he changed his tone
<4> MadScribe, of course it sounds weird, he is a hick, I kinda like it
<0> nothing wrong with being a hick
<2> "I work all year to make 1 million dollars, however the government takes 100% of it"
<5> Kurt2: Well, it's not taxed at that rate until it hits a particular income level, which means you aren't 100% taxed, but incomes are effectively capped at the bracket falling below the 100% level.
<6> i live in the south, i know lots of hicks who speak and it sounds like one thought
<0> damn anyone hear this question
<4> I liked Slick Willy, good delivery
<3> see he talks about god as a power greater than himself, a very mainstream not fanatical religious view.
<0> slick was a crook
<3> He must be more of a universalist than he lets on.
<4> sweetleaf, and who isn't?
<0> me and Bush
<7> hahah GO BUSH GO!
<4> Bush just got a woodie
<6> you're not a crook till you get caught
<2> 100% is 100% once you hit a certain incomelevel they take EVERYTHING YOU MADE
<0> I dont think Bush is a crook have not seen anything to say different
<6> lol
<7> HAHAHHA BUSH!
<5> Kurt2: That's not how it works with multiple brackets.
<2> what justification does anybody have to work if they are having 100% of their earning taken from them?
<0> Bush is having fun
<2> you hit the 100% bracket and you have nothing
<4> sweetleaf, hell yeah he is
<0> prove it
<0> facts
<4> he has a woodie, you know he does
<2> wtf does 100% mean then? somebody clearly failed math
<8> Pickle: I don't think he understands "Progressive Taxation".
<0> got to go make some $$ cya
<5> Kurt2: Say they made the 100% bracket everything above $50000. That means that only income you make above $50000 is taxed at that rate. You're taxed at a lower rate for the remaining $50000 you've earned.
<4> you might remember the treaty
<4> people like beef
<2> so if you make 1 million dollars this year and the 100% level is 50,000 then you have to give the government $950,000 ?
<4> I can be allergic to people overseas
<5> Kurt2: Correct. Income is effectively capped at $50000.
<2> that is truely insane
<8> Kurt: ***uming a 0%, and a 100% bracket, yes.
<2> what ****in incentive is there to work?
<4> kurt, you wanna know something really insane?
<9> 100% over 50k? thats no different than just going socialist/communist, paying everyone 50k no matter what they do
<5> Kurt2: None, which is why that is a crazy scheme.
<9> nationailze every company
<4> bud, ummm...bad idea
<5> Kurt2: More to the point, there's no reason to take risks beyond a particular low level--much lower than investors demand.
<10> We had a top 90% tax rate and the economy was terrific
<4> low level risk?
<4> where would we be if Jesus was a low risk fella?
<4> faith, family, and friends, heeheehee
<4> pray for Bush
<2> what if what you are doing can't operate without more than 50,000 a year?
<5> Kurt2: No one of any intelligence is arguing that it's a good idea, not even a large segment of the Green Party. That's one reason why there was a schism in the US.
<5> Kurt2: And the Green Party of Canada certainly isn't proposing it. Like I said, they're further to the right than the NDP these days.
<4> a scism?
<4> mildly put
<8> Pickle: Who's idea was it?
<4> I'm a mountain bike guy
<5> astrodog: Was what?
<4> perspective is very important
<8> The 100% thing.
<5> astrodog: The more extreme of the two "Green Parties" in the US.
<4> astrodog, Sargon the Great
<8> Picke: Hrm/
<5> astrodog: Supposedly they are a smaller body, but I don't know their numbers.
<4> small bodies are a drag
<8> Pickle: "1"
<5> Astrodog: A few more than that
<8> Oh.
<8> "3"
<8> :P
<4> baby boomer bulge
<4> say that three times real fast
<4> I talked about doin something about it
<4> it grows quite dramatically
<4> a nest egg she can p*** on to her loved ones
<4> do what?
<4> preciate it
<4> what was cut?
<5> http://www.greenparty.org/Platform.php#7
<4> hold on, i gotta spit
<5> That's the whacko greens
<4> green what? pot?
<8> Pickle: One of them, anyway
<4> hail eris
