Hi Fixrman, I might have been too subtle about Christie and you missed the point: He tries to portray to the mid west that he is pro rights of the individual, but everyone there knows that he isn't any better in this area than Clinton. The laws in NJ reflect this. It would not be much different than our own Gov here in CA trying to pretend that he supports individual rights and is honest - pretty similar. Romney had the same problem, which is why we have Obama today. There is no campaign that can make Christie a viable candidate that can pass the muster of the republican primary process and a general election. As far as cleaning up from after the storm and his "mop" comment, actually, it was probably more true than not. Snow + rain + low elevations make floods, and NJ has all of that.

Fixrman, if you have a candidate that you feel is worth expanding on their credentials and a reason to vote for them, feel free. I am going to vote for Rand Paul, at least in the primary, as he is one of the few with a viable tax plan, concern about government privacy intrusion, and supports more rights of the individual than most of the others. As a practical matter, who knows which candidates will still be on the ballot by the time the primary in CA rolls around.

I like Rand Paul (he's the only GOP candidate I do like). I may not agree with much of what he says but he is clearly intelligent, thoughtful and a person of integrity. He (as he should as a public servant) tends to put what he believes is right ahead of his personal religious beliefs (which is where the other GOP candidates tend to falter with regard to their religious beliefs and the 10th amendment/states' rights). But I'm not sure I'd call his tax plan viable. He's published a balanced budget proposal, which is maybe what you mean, but he's proposing a flat income tax of (if I recall correctly) 10%, which is sheer insanity. It's a proposal that sits well with the Republican base (those to whom he's trying to appeal currently) but, aside from amplifying an already out of control wealth gap, would never fly during a general election. I'm sure he knows this and would drop it the instant he got the nomination. Not that he will, of course, sadly. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

Here is a link to the Rand Paul tax plan. https://randpaul.com/rand-pauls-fair-and-flat-tax-op-ed For me, this is how it breaks down: For my business, which is a small C Corp: - the tax rate is 40%. - Compare this to what google, HP, and GE pay by playing tax games and moving production offshore - essentially 0%. - The plan would have both my small company, and GE paying 14% - seems reasonable to me. - 40% is such a high number, that it just isn't viable. Personal Income - Most workers pay 6.5% into social security (payroll tax) and the employer also pays in 6.5%. - Since I am considered self-employed, I pay both sides (13%) - On top of this, I pay income tax to the Federal government, plus others. For better or worse, this number has not been all that much lately, but hopefully will rise by making more money - If your income is $10 million in payroll / similar, the payroll tax only affects the first $100 - 200K, and people end up spending enormous effort to keep their income "appearing low" with deductions, foundations, trusts, etc. - The Paul plan would make this "total" 14% for everyone. Again, this is a reasonable number. Romney got in trouble with his election over the tax issue. He was complaining that lower income people paid very little income tax, but he would not acknowledge how much they pay in payroll tax. (he paid zero since he didn't take his income as payroll and it was defined as capital gains). If instead of selling "hardware / software" products like I do currently, I worked for a hedge fund or stock broker, my income would be considered capital gains, so the tax rate is much lower, just because I work on wall street and sell the "right" product. Seems unfair to tax one kind of income differently than another. Like the saying, a dollar is a dollar. Partnerships, LLCs, and similar structures - More of less, these are just artificial tax constructions focused on one or two industries and complicates the tax code. - In my simple mind, all we need are C corps and personal income categories, the rest of the versions can be eliminated. - The accounting in a C corp is much more straight forward and "honest" than some of these strange LLC and partnership arrangements. That is one reason I like them. Personally, I think the ideal tax system is a retail sales tax (not VAT - which is perhaps the worst possible system), but that is really unlikely to happen. The reason I like it, is that it removes the unfair competitive advantage that imports have over local production.

No, thanks. There's already too much shite and stink flying around in the air. I'll let others froth at the mouth awhile; when it all settles down to four, we'll see where it all stands.

So it "suddenly" seems quite likely that Trump could get the Republican nomination. Wow! It'd be like us electing Boris for something serious. Eesh, I wish I knew where I'd like to emigrate to.

No more Clintons! We already had one cost the tax payers $40 million over a lie and a blowjob. What is she going to cost us? I'd vote for a crossed eyed chimp before I'd even think about voting for her. If we're going to have a woman in the white house, my vote is for Roseanne Barr. I'd love to see her take on those stuffed shirts. Just this woman's opinion. :) Beehive Styles Forum: If you've created a Beehive style and want to display it and offer it to others, or are looking for styles for your Beehive forum, then this is the place for you!

Disgusting. Isn't it? I think he should have to pay that money back! I pay my bills and taxes. The government should have to pay theirs too.

Anyone but Clinton or Trump. They're both whacked in the head to one degree or another. Even if I was prone to such a vile habit, I wouldn't spit on either one of them. They're just not worthy of that much of me. So they're definitely not getting my vote!

So do you think that extra-marital oral sex and lies are traits inherited through marriage?
