I love the refund offer. I think it's hilarious.

Nothing is funnier than people who come here to bitch about this website as if they had to pay for it...

And as if I somehow owe them something better...

Taxing unrealized gains on stocks would greatly disincentivize investing.

In turn, that would spell disaster down the road.

If paper gains are taxed as investments appreciate, doesn't a nest egg at retirement age become a mere fraction of what it would otherwise be?

This wouldn't be disastrous for just individuals.

Think of the effect it would have on pensions.

Imo, every single person who reaches retirement age would end up on the government dole.

And who do you tax then?

Just how did your benefits stack up against one of these company's? If something like that opened new near your loss of better employees is a given to what you had to offer right. Now that there is much less runway left in your career it becomes important to talk about what you could never do not because you did not posses opportunity but the talent.

That depends on location, where I was at on my last two locations in SoCal there wasn't any business property tax, not sure if 13 years later that still holds true. Here in Caroline County Virginia you pay business property tax on every thing used in a business, and I mean every thing, down to the last fork if you own a restaurant. A person would really have to have a lot of paper and sharp pencils to calculate what area is the most business friendly for each type of business. You pay business property tax here, but if you haul your own you can dispose of trash and toxic waste in moderate daily amounts free of charge. You can dump 5 gallons of waste oil a day for free like motor oil or used cooking oil like for a restaurant. In California toxic waste disposal was $8 a gallon and a mess of paperwork, dirty mop water was considered toxic waste. It I showed up with 5 gallons of dirty mop water here at the refuse transfer station they would tell me to go pour it down the drain while giving me a weird look. Hauling my own trash really cost no time or money as the refuse station is 1/2 mile down the road from the grocery store and on the way out of town for errands. Free trash and toxic waste disposal is worth $100 or so a month to me.

The fat cats at wall street that donate heavily to politicians would ensure they could continue taking their cut. Whether that would be mutual funds or ETFs exempt, something would get through.


More people, More problems, Thx dimwits

I used to contribute to this site.
Before you went off the rails.

The racing side was worth paying attention to on a daily basis.
Still is, but to a much lesser extent.
Some of the contests here were excellent - that gave way to the venom.

I would still be a paying contributor, if you toned it down some.

You can save yourself the trouble of replying.
It's not as if you really give a fu*k.

[Tom]

You just can't handel the truth.
Personally, your absence is a great upgrade to the site.
You offer nothing but insults and lies.

You should really get a job at the DNC. You are a natural.

Why should I, exactly? Serious question.

I would think that you and PA could resolve this and retrieve your previous member name minus the 1, just a tune for it.

Yes, I would think so too. I do remember him contacting me about it but I think we took the easy way out...probably just as easy to get back to the original one with a little more communication.

If he wants he can PM me and I can probably get it resolved.
