The "code" is that the terms is only applied to black people.  But white people doing the same thing gets a "kinder, gentler" term.
Its relevance is Tongue-In-Cheek considering that Cam Newton was accused of Thuggery leading up to SB50.

I wouldn't call any QB a thug, because they're, well, a QB. I would call Newton a petulant man-child douche bag, but not a thug.

The issue here is that the "collection mechanism" would be orders of magnitude more complex to go after GA.


The bill sets up a mechanism that basically covers Part 121 and Part 135 operators (ie. no non-commercial).  The number of those is at least a couple orders of magnitude less than the number of Part 91 operators out there.  So, no, it does not create a collection mechanism that could simply be wholesale dropped on GA.

Not necessary.  For example, the IRS uses Form 720 for businesses to self-report and remit Federal Excise Taxes. That includes environmental taxes, air transportation taxes, fuel taxes, excise taxes on coal, tires, fishing and archery equipment, medical devices, and "Patient Centered Outcomes Research Fee." 

For the last one, the form has you input "Avg. number of lives covered" multiplied by "Rate for avg. lives covered" equals "Fee." 

The point is that an ASEL pilot can be compelled to self-report usage and remit a fee/tax/whatever. Just like businesses, there would be no matching program (submitting proof of sales, etc.) but pilots would be subject to audit.

Easy Peazy.  Here is a link for the form.  It's a one-stop shopping tax and fee collection form. Did you know you pay the Feds $0.49 for every arrow shaft sold?  Madness. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f720.pdf

Last time the GOP owned both the Legislative and Executive we saw the largest increase in government and government spending in US history.  We also saw new government agencies who's job it was to intrude into the lives pf practically every American.  Thems the facts.

No doubt you are correct. And when the
democrats took control of Congress and then the presidency, they made the republicans look like pikers in spending money and loss of privacy.

That's why we need new blood, and a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on congress and the Supremes. Political power needs to be limited, and the politically powerful will not do that to themselves. The People need to step in, one way or the other.

The story was relevant to elucidate my admonition to FC to not speak in blanket terms.  Keep up!

Ok, so to be clear, the story had zip, zero, nada to do with the topic at hand, and was only included to admonish FC. Got it.

And I'm the one that needs to keep up? 

Is moving the goalposts a genetically black thing, since in the genetics thread you are blaming slavery for changing blacks' DNA?

That just doesn't make sense, at all.

 So what part of the Libertarian party do you not agree with?

Trolls don't have to be deep thinkers. To the rest of us, it makes total sense.

I don't know....a wimpy little guy that can't throw a baseball was elected, twice.  I don't like Christie, but it's not because of his size.

Christie is at 3% in all the most recent polls. (2.5% in RCP average.)  What in the hell is he still doing in this race?  His only role now is to damage the front runners, as he did on Thursday with Rubio. (Don't get me wrong, Rubio self-immolated at the beginning of the debate, but finished strong). 

Once again Reince Priebus demonstrates his incompetence by not controlling the field, allowing the circular firing squad, and allowing leftists like Martha Raddatz to moderate a GOP debate. 

Somebody already IS paying for it. Community colleges are funded by property taxes or other state taxes. It is the most affordable deal out there, bar none. Why do we have to make it free?

At some point people need to have skin in the game for their own future. Otherwise college will be as appreciated as inner city high schools are today.

Does anyone have an answer to my question?
