  1. Pretty inaccurate actually. Forming a corporation is not reserved for the wealthy. Anyone with 50 bucks can form a corporation. And if you did, how exactly are you only paying half your income tax? I'd love to lower my tax burden If you mean capital gains tax, people in the lowest 2 tax brackets pay zero (long-term) capital gains tax. Higher tax brackets pay either 15 or 20% capital gains. If you raise capital gains, you are basically eliminating some of the incentive for investors to invest in stocks, funds, etc. Investors would pull (some) funds out of the stock market, risking another recession, or worse.
  2. This article is talking about the stock market recession and the subsequent market rally. "Incomes among the richest fell more than 36% between 2007-09, compared with a decrease of 11.6% for the rest of Americans. But in the last three years, 95% of all income gains have gone to the richest 1%." If a person was heavily invested in stocks, funds, etc their income took a big hit during the recession, and should now being making pretty good gains (unless they panicked and sold). Wealthier people tend to be more heavily invested. None of this is particularly surprising. The same thing happened to nearly everyone's 401k, but those $$ aren't considered (taxable) income until you retire.
  3. Perhaps...but you did instigate the drunken mayhem to which IP alluded. Drop off a bottle of whiskey...promptly leave before the carnage unfolds...dance puppets, dance!
  4. I'm selling a Gladius with suspension upgrades plus other upgrades too. The motor has several improvements over the sv650. It's in the for sale section.
  5. If yer lucky I'll show you my purple helmet.
  6. Even with all that dust on it ?
  7. So...are you still missing that Harley?
  8. I wonder how many times those girls wished him dead.

    I've got a 5 dollar bill that I would like to trade for a 10 or 20 dollar bill. Low ballers will be ignored.
  11. Must be super secret supporter posts.
  12. It's not like there was any thought of him being rehabilitated (if that's still a goal of the prison system). In this case dead is better.
  13. The gene pool is slightly cleaner than it was yesterday.

  15. Reminds me of the Rolls Royce kits for VW beetles in the 70s
  16. Was that your instinct, or the opposite?
  17. Yes...way too close. Next time I'm swapping a motor, I'll take time to reflect on your spaghetti wiring
  18. I not trying to kill 'Independent George,' I mas merely offering some advice to sooth you wounded soul.
  19. Remember when George Costanza did everything the opposite of his instincts and life finally started working out for him? Perhaps you should adopt the same philosophy when it comes to expressing you thoughts on politics, guns, world affairs, and even how to wire a dune buggy.
