Yeah Trade, what you proposed (the more you spend, the more taxes you pay) could be accomplished pretty easily in a universal sales tax, similar to the one that Mike Huckabee was supporting. He called it the Fair Tax, since it's based on consumption, but alot of people are against the idea because high sales taxes tend to punish the poor more so than the rich.

DrSuper, you're going to have to start giving me some of the older music you like (I really like plump dj's stuff). I can't really obtain it from anywhere if you catch my drift, lol.
Don't worry I'll get you whatever I have on megaupload.

Trade where do you go to school?

Also I agree with Pof I don't think Sheik is that bad just needs to be played a bit differently. Also her Z-slide usmash thing can go roughly 3/4 of FD and that rocks.

NL are there any good tournaments or bi-weeklies in New York this weekend?

I'm pretty bored does anyone want to play on wifi?

Rich people carry a much higher tax load than we've been led to believe. The reason that you and I don't get tax cuts is because we don't pay taxes to begin with. Or at least I don't, due to my income bracket. And if I had to guess, you also pay less in taxes, both in absolute and percentage terms, then the average person making more than $100,000 a year does.
I'm not speaking of myself I'm speaking of my class, generally the working class gets ****ed up the *** with taxes.

I dunno where you're getting the idea that the rich pay a lot of taxes because that sounds like some Conservative mumble jumbo bull crap.

I mean unless you can prove it I'm going to go with the Conservative mumbo Jumbo bull**** excuse.

Basically, the top 1% of wage earners paid more income taxes in 2006 than the bottom 50% combined.

Funny does that chart take into account the subsidies, reliefs, blah blah that corporations and their CEO's receive? Probably not. I don't doubt that the Rich pay a lot in taxes, I should have probably been more clear.

Taxes are odd because the libertarian in me says "Hey if you made the money then you should keep as much of it as possible." But the Progressive in me can't help but see that as a problem especially in capitalism.

But generally I think taxes should be paid by the amount you earn if you made a lot you should pay more, but oddly enough I don't think it's the taxes that are the problem. The government makes a hell of a lot in taxes It's just ending those subsidies and special interests and making sure those tax dollars go into what they're suppose to go into and not into the pockets of someone else.

If you're poor you pay less, if you're rich you pay more. Sounds a bit socialized but hey I'm more of a Roosevelt kind of guy anyway.
