Well....actually I'm bragging....you ever try to kill an internet troll? It's almost as difficult as getting rid of a business consultant once you've hired them or dodging a politicians campaign workers once you've made the mistake of donating money to them. You just can't get rid of them!! They're like human cockroaches.Not a bother, I am a magnet! You are sweet to do that for me!

.. the fuck?
You didn't learn anything? and what about the quiz was not correct information? Do not speak of my dear Molly!You have to love these "quizzes" put out by liberal interest groups. "According to Molly Ivans..."![]()
The site admitted that the questions were trivia, which is by definition useless information. The important thing to know is that government spends too much money and gets its filthy hand on stuff that it has no business.You didn't learn anything? and what about the quiz was not correct information? Do not speak of my dear Molly!

The Soak-the-Rich Catch-22
By ARTHUR LAFFER
Tax reduction thus sets off a process that can bring gains for everyone, gains won by marshalling resources that would otherwise stand idle—workers without jobs and farm and factory capacity without markets. Yet many taxpayers seemed prepared to deny the nation the fruits of tax reduction because they question the financial soundness of reducing taxes when the federal budget is already in deficit. Let me make clear why, in today's economy, fiscal prudence and responsibility call for tax reduction even if it temporarily enlarged the federal deficit—why reducing taxes is the best way open to us to increase revenues.
—President John F. Kennedy,
Economic Report of the President,
January 1963
If only more of today's leaders thought like JFK. Sadly, in the debate over whether to extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, and if so whether the cuts should be extended to those people who are in the highest tax bracket, there is a false presumption that higher tax rates on the top 1% of income earners will raise tax revenues.
Anyone who is familiar with the historical data available from the IRS knows full well that raising income tax rates on the top 1% of income earners will most likely reduce the direct tax receipts from the now higher taxed income—even without considering the secondary tax revenue effects, all of which will be negative. And who on Earth wants higher tax rates on anyone if it means larger deficits?
