funny said coming from a citizen of country founded on a revoluntion over a miniscul amount of taxes. The problem is not generally paying the reasonable taxes, but what the taxes/debt are spent on.
i agree it's stupid, but then again, so is minimum wage.

I believe people like him don't want to pay taxes b/c there greedy. I believe poorer people who support the "don't tax the rich more" support that view b/c they have some vain belief that they too may one day become rich, which isn't gonna happen by playing the scratch off. Tax money should be spent wisely, but b/c it isn't always spent in the best way is not a reason to abolish taxation. To me, that's as crazy an idea as communism, maybe some aspects are kinda nice in principle, but in practice things don't turn out as planned.

Holy ****. I don't mind a mistake here and there, but I see you do this all over the forums and it's really ******* irritating. Sometimes it's a mistake because people type fast. But you do it so much it's clearly just a lack of understanding. It's not hard.

******* LEARN IT. Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously if you can't figure it out?

90% of the quarterly earnings calls that I've listened to...I can't get through more than 5 minutes [edit: of the off the cuff Q&A sessions] before I can't concentrate on a word they've said because they use so many filler words and hesitations. Helps you really understand that the idiots up top are just as educated or socially awkward as the idiots down below.
Welllll, maybe they're not all that bad. It is annoying though.
Example: Scroll to 31 minutes and start counting...uh...uh...uh...ya know...NO I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION...ya know?

They need to stick a sock in this guys mouth before the party loses all hope. He's becoming the male version Sarah Palin.

I agree with his Occupy video completely, but for one point. The limit of congress to pass a law prevent the right to assemble does not equal the right to occupy.
