You may be onto something there.Once read there are no straight lines in nature...only manmade.
Take a cue from the Greeks, Romans or the Egyptians maybe?
Some of their stuff is still standing.The aqueducts still baffle modern historians and scientist alike.

Just thinking out loud


money doesnt work we have lots of that,so mabey slavery like those cultures? im not wishing for that either.

No man, never that...I meant from an engineering standpoint :tiphat:

Taking their cue from nature, arches and such...the principles are sound, as the ancients proved.

It's still a moot point if structures aren't maintained.

Totally agree with that and while I'm not even close to an expert on politics, I've always felt that the richest should have significantly higher taxes then the rest of the world, not the other way around.

I never even heard what Bush's rational was for the wealthy tax break that he enacted. I don't get why people were ok with that.

If I remember correctly the idea was if you gave the rich tax breaks they would be more inclined to invest which would lead to more jobs and a stronger economy. Perhaps if they had been made such that you only got the breaks if you did invest in ways that helped the economy then maybe it might have worked?

yea the whole world is falling apart. When was it not though? sure countries like China are rising economically...but are the citizens happy?

HELL no. I know a family in Shanghai, they came to visit us last year. I talked with their son, he's a teenager out there. He was telling me how the government banned facebook and youtube, and they have to use proxies just to watch a funny video (but still takes forever to load since the proxy is bouncing off a site in Russia).

Also, I just heard that China banned movies with themes of time-travel. so theyre essentially saying "for all you Back To The Future lovers, gtfo of my country."

god bless america, in all its dilapidated glory!!!

??? The top 10% pay over 71% of all the fedral income tax recived... That ain't shit?

The top 400 richest people in the US make more money than the bottom 50%. Of course the people who make the money have to pay the taxes. You've been listening to Rush I see.
Why don't you look at it this way. I make 100k/yr and pay about 25% of it in federal income taxes. Some guy who makes 20 million a year pays about 7% of it (if that) in federal income taxes. Seems fair to you right?

raising corporate taxes will just make them go overseas. 60 minutes had a good story about this 2 weeks ago.

and by the way, to people who complain growers don't pay taxes... well i don't think so, unless you don't steal electricity, you pay tax for it, water (if no well used), growmedia, fertilizers, seeds, papers, ... actually everything utilized in the process of growing is taxed -> in my opinion the weed grown, is taxed "indirectly"...

I think the only people on here who should have the right to bitch and moan about our roads not being perfect (which in itself is hilarious, try going to any other smaller country in the world) are people who actually pay correct taxes, not people who grow marijuana for a living and thus don't pay any taxes at all (but are sure to complain about the current economic state our country is in).

Maybe. Uncle Scam took $35,000+ from me in taxes last year. I believe I've earned the right to bitch all I want.

Did Uncle Scam build a bridge with my money? Fuck no. He bought a cruise missile and is too busy waging perpetual war to build a bridge.

This country has become a Banana Republic. The most powerful elite pay no taxes (welfare for the rich), the biggest corporations pay almost no taxes (corporate welfare), the bottom 50% pay almost no taxes (social welfare). It's the hard working honest dumbfucks like me who get to shoulder the responsibility. Well, I'll let you in on a secret. You can only squeeze blood out of a turnip for so long before the SHTF.

This is true. My big beef is with income tax. I'm fine with consumption taxs, property taxes, etc. Having the ability to tax one's labor is a form of slavery.

i say we cancel all income tax and just put a 25% sales tax in place... with as much shit as americans buy, especially the rich it should bring in more money or break even... seemed fair to me when i heard it, punish the consumer/spender not the worker/saver...

thats why a consumption tax is the way to go...

Remember good ol' Ronny Reagan's plan of trickle down economics. Let the rich have more of their money and they in turn will create jobs and the money will trickle down to the less fortunate. How's that plan working out today????
