Being violent back to the terrorists is the only way we are going to stop them.  I once saw an interview with a pilot that was a Vietnam vet.  I forget what he flew, but he really was upset by the rules of engagement prolonging the war, and getting more men on both sides killed.  He said we needed to be quick, and VIOLENT to bring the powers that be on the other side to the bargaining table to end the war.

Nonsense, we just need to get them all jobs, then they'll be too busy to cut heads off.

So you count every non vote for Trump as a vote for Hillary.  You're saying that Trump is the natural loser.

To extrapolate, if no one votes for Candidate A, Candidate B wins.

Simple.

This is a totally different era of Democrats.  We are dealing with far left Marxists now.  Yes, we can, and will lose some of our rights.  We may still have a 2A in name, but it will be interpreted to not be an individual right.  Heller will be overturned.

What Stan said.  Four far left, radical anti 2A judges will neuter the 2A, and essentially take our God given rights to defend ourselves.  One Supreme Court case will do this.  Heck we only won Heller by one vote, and we had Scalia.  We almost lost our rights back then.

We never lose our Rights. But they can and will be seriously infringed by a "liberal" Court.

I cannot vote for Trump.  That doesn't mean I will vote for Hillary but my conscience will not allow me to vote for him.

So you vote for Hillary by default.

Purists like you gave us two terms of Obama.

Agreed. I would give anything to fly a T-38, even though it kept me out of the USAF because of my trunk height.

Sniff...

To put it in perspective, I have a two-book set of the Internal Revenue Code on my bookshelf that takes up about 6" of shelf space, printed in small type on that thin paper stock. It's 5,622 pages, plus indexes, etc.

The Income Tax Regulations that interpret the Code take up 16" of shelf space, printed in small type on that thin paper stock, and is 93,614 pages long.


That's soft tyranny.

Starting this summer, the government will test a system in which foreign tourists will be able to verify their identities and buy things at stores using only their fingerprints.

Even if you make a flat tax, businesses will still need accountants to keep their books straight, just to determine what their profit is for the purposes of calculating the flat tax.


I've not seen a "flat tax" proposal that is on gross revenue, almost always net, so you have to keep track of your expenses, and your capex v. opex and all that fun stuff.  Those are things that a business owner needs to know regardless of taxes anyway.  You could exempt businesses from tax, and accountants would still be firmly in business.

Absolutely, that's a productive occupation. But a vast simplification of the tax code makes that easier.

I would actually give up a limb for an F-5/F-20...probably one of the prettiest planes to ever fly.

I think it's Chuck's fav ride as well.

Affirmative.

If nominated I will not...oh, screw that, I will accept. I'll bring AF1 into OSH at AirVenture 2017 and pick up all us Pilot Spin folks and have a party.

Not that's a platform I can support!

I'm a CPA working 80 hour weeks, so I would welcome it. However, I spend 95% of my time doing tax work for businesses and that would be somewhat unaffected by flat tax proposals. So it's not going to put me out of work.

Why should businesses be stuck with the burden of paperwork? You know that tax ramifications affect almost every business decision. How great would it be to not have to deal with that?

What Jeff said, however, was factually and historically accurate. The press plays with the GOP like a Lab plays with a stuffed toy. They chew on it nicely for a while, and then disembowel it. We've seen it again and again. They "pick" the GOP nominee that they believe can be beaten, build him up, only to tear him up once the general election begins.

If the general comes down to Mr GOP Hand Picked and Hillary, I will write-in Stan. Hope you're a natural born citizen!

Tax evasion, on the other hand, is a crime.  That is where you break the law.

But that line is many times gray. And the grayness almost always falls on the side of the Government if there's ever a question. This is how they keep people "in line." Make uncertainty scary and people will be less inclined to walk in the tax shadows, therefore profiting the Government.

Going to EVERYONE PAYS 10%, PERIOD puts a lot of accountants, lawyers, and Government Drones on the unemployment line, which is why it will never happen.

Assuming Trump, nor Cruz, nor Kasich get to the magic number of delegate, who do you think will really be the eventual nominee of the party? 

Will it be Romney?  How about Ryan?  Myabe the establishment will go with Kasich?  What do you think?
