  1. I can look into adding tapatalk - the app isn't free, but I use it on another forum, and works pretty well on my iPhone... let me know what you think
  2. Why do you fixate on the white trash celebraties on TV? They only exist because people waste time watching them. I'm not a one percenter, nor at the bottom of the pile. Literally started with nothing, and have worked hard. Everywhere I look, I see the government killing the independent nature of this country - why think for yourself when big brother can think for you? The crap going on in our school system is maddening. That's the real problem. For every aristocrat, there are hundreds of VERY wealthy SELF made people out there who've done it despite the government, not because of it. All the wealth you see in various tech companies in different industries, or even traditional businesses from restaurant chains to retailers - they have nothing to do with government. To say that they're all crooks, is a gross mischaracterization. I do agree there is a lot of fraud in and around government. Hence the smaller the better.
  3. I don't think so. I need to look for a better plugin for mobile. Been absolutely buried in work though
  4. some food for thought... That video is talking about wealth, not income. Unless you want government to tax wealth, it's not going to solve the 1% "problem". If I'm worth 100 million, but just stop working and make no money, what's a fair tax? Should I be taxed on my wealth? 10% every year? What about the bottom 40%? Should government actually pay them money? or net zero taxes? If government collected significantly higher taxes from the wealthy, should it redistribute it to the lower net worth people? If this calculation is done based on wealth, and I'm someone who makes decent money but have zero net worth, should government pay me your money? The biggest problem IS the government. Have you noticed during the same 50 years the government has gotten bigger and bigger? More regulation, more taxes, more waste? It's not a coincidence. Think about the overhead costs you have to put up with when you open a small business - I don't mean a high tech business... more like your average Joe - painter, welder, whatever. Everything from licenses to taxes at every level, insurance requirements, etc... Does that make it harder to do business for the little guy or the 1%er? As a lower income person, you're just better off working for someone else... fixed paycheck, lower risk, less opportunity, lower economic output. Remove those barriers and let people apply themselves. Free up the bottom 40% instead of worrying about penalizing the top 1%. That's always been the path to prosperity. As for tax policy - flat tax is the way to go. The more social engineering is built in, the more complex it gets, and the guys with the money will buy influence to tilt the table in their favor.
