Affordable Care Act bringing jobs to Lawrence
I was about to call people on not recognizing Ultimate for his/her really great satire, but I read a few former posts to make sure.
Would my face have been red---

Would you rather have a lower income tax and higher sales tax, or lower sales tax and higher income tax?
How fortunate for you to be in such good shape. Most people don't have that choice.

This seems to me to not really be a relevant question as there are a number of very important things missing in this equation.
1 How much will sales tax have to be raised to make up for lost revenue from income taxes and still provide even the minimum of services? And if we exclude necessities like food, that will make the percentage for other things go even higher. At some point it WILL impact what people buy.
2 How does property tax figure into this? We already have extremely
p
high property taxes and local government has to get money some way. The choice is not just between income and sales tax.
3 Is this a bait and switch? Will individual income taxes ever go away for us peasants or will we just lose our deductions and have even higher taxes?
4 For those of you who intend to shop in a different state---if you live near the border that might be an economy, but for most it won't be, and that will mean other taxes will have to make up for what is lost that way.
We don't like paying taxes, but we do like our services.
We can't have one without the other.

Budget provision would block state funding for Common Core standards
The devil is making them do it. They are being tempted beyond their capacity to resist. Pray harder, boys, pray harder. You can resist the temptation to destroy Kansas if you just pray hard enough.

I think that word does not mean what they think it means.

Father of slain toddler grieves in Missouri jail
My question is, if a person is a sociopath then what is their responsibility for what they do? I wouldn't make a decision on Mr Bailey because we certainly don't have all the information, but it does appear that Kyle Flack is a sociopath, as in a remorseless killer.

The level of a person's outer distraughtness doesn't necessarily equate to how they're feeling. People show, or don't show, their emotions in different ways.
