Quote of the Day....

| | Comments (4)
Here's a banal example. You tell me if you simply disagree with this man, or if you might as well belong to a different species. The New Yorker calls this Princeton professor, Peter Singer, the world's "most influential living philosopher." It is Singer's belief that "middle class families in the United States have a moral obligation to pay 33 percent of the first $30,000 they make to combat poverty around the globe." After the first $30,000, they should pay 100 percent. He explicitly rejects the theory of property rights as an 'unacceptable ethical view,'" and argues that certain animals are "persons" that have "the same special claim to be protected" as humans. He also maintains that infanticide is in some cases morally obligatory (Larry Arn, in a special edition of the Hillsdale College Imprimus). - One Cosmos
Gagdad Bob discusses liberalism (et al) from a distinctly erudite position. As we know, all psychologists are crazy. The above is from a discussion on the possibility that God created two types of humans.

He has redefined himself into a completely different species, Lunachiroptera Excrementus Insaneius - moonbatshit crazy.

So this nut thinks nobody should have a new income of more than $20k?

You can't even pay the rent in places like SF, LA, NYC, and Seattle for that little.

I have an alternative tax structure:

Beginning of the year, everyone owes the government $2000.
No other tax until you earn $10,000 then a 10% tax on all earnings up to $20,000 and after that 5%. Oh, and no deductions.

Regressive? Hell yes! Who said that "regressive" taxes are bad? With a tax like this everyone will be motivated to earn more rather than the (irrational) fear of moving into a "higher bracket".

Because I say so: Archives
