I agree, every one should pay a flat tax.

Corporations should also pay a flat tax.

"The greatest enslavement is government welfare."
By your logic 55% of corporations are enslaved to the government because they got hand-outs from the government (i.e. while all the other good corporate citizens were paying taxes, they did not.) We should free these poor, enslaved corporations by forcing them to pay their fair share of the corporate tax burden.

I think the same way and I'm not rich, never been rich, and will never bee rich. But Mitt is right. There are too many people that will take advantage of the system and and become freeloaders, voting for who ever keeps the money flowing to their pockets.
The greatest enslavement is government warfare. The greatest freedom is self reliance.

What can you really say about this guy... Romney is as he is... He's known nothing but extreme wealth his entire life... and in these private moments you really do see what he thinks of... well just about HALF the entire country who wasn't...
Amazing that a guy whos lived his entire life as a defendant can say that about tens of millions of extremely hard working people without pause.

Misconceptions and Realities About Who Pays Taxes

Short version: you have to limit your study to only the impact of the most progressive tax in existence (the federal income tax) in order to come away thinking poor people are somehow getting off the hook more than rich people when it comes to taxes.

Yeah legalize it.

It's ridiculous how much money is spent trying to combat a substance that is in more ways than not safer or has greater benefits than alcohol. Estimates vary but most reviews I've seen range the cost of combating such a 'drug' as more than $10 billion per year in the US alone.

Example:
2010 had the US spend $15+ billion at Federal level and another $25+ at state level on the war on drugs.
That's $40 billion that could go towards medical, social, education programs, or even to work towards paying off some depts.

This site's stats seem to be including more than marijuana, but at near the end of April 2012, the total is already over $12 billion, almost 13.
http://www.drugsense.org/cms/wodclock

An estimated 50% give/take of citizens have used or use the substance.

Supply and demand encourage drug syndicates to form and become more ruthless in their enterprises, the prohibition on alcohol is a decent example.

The substance when consumed is significantly safer with heavy machinery like public driving etc than alcohol (not saying that driving stoned should be encouraged, but far less dangerous then alcohol), and it's common place behavioral effects leave the consumer with greater control re social behavior and better rational processing opposed to alcohol when high levels of the substances are compared.
Not trying to smash booze, just highlighting that if 1 is acceptable, then the other dam well should be as well.

Governments allow smoking Tabasco to be legal because of the taxation/financial benefits despite the well known and documented issues with the substance.

The medicinal properties alone should be enough to give the substance leeway that most other recreational drugs wouldn't receive.

Rather than spending money against it, regulating it would make it safer for use while also turning a profit for the government and being legal it could then be taxed to further the financial return.

As far as i know, no one has ever died from an overdose of marijuana.

I personally haven't used it for a few years (save the rare one-off opportunistic occasions) but am a strong advocate that it's a good and/or reasonable substance for personal use.

HAHAHAHA!! I missed this episode [then again I miss a lot of stuff, but what the hey?] ... thanks for the laugh =oD

Nuke it from orbit!

Well, it reminds me of Tron. And I think it would be fair to tag it with "tron", as someone doing a tag search for "tron" might be interested to see this, given that it's got lighty-uppy suits and music from the Tron Legacy soundtrack.

Apart from the glowing lights, this actually has seemingly NOTHING to do with tron, the original video doesn't have anything to do with tron anywhere in the wording, and the description is as follows:
"The full version of CM performance was appointed as the mobile phone company by street dance crew WRECKING CREW ORCHESTRA FAMILY representing Japan.
Has been produced in the original costume, control systems, such as the choreography."
Also, as they're working off of a CD or MP3, this is very much not live music.
So, no, not tron. Nochannel Scifi Dance Skillful Music

So you're telling me you don't look at this and think "Tron"? Seriously?

Nope. Same as I don't consider a video like this that essentially has the exact same type of costume on the dancers tron in any way, shape or form.
And regardless of weather or not one looks at this and goes, "Oh yeah, this reminds me of tron" doesn't make it a tribute to tron. Besides the glowing suits, there's nothing even referencing tron. No frisbee, no light cycle, not Master Control Program, nothing. It's just the costume they're wearing for the dance. That's all.
It's like saying that this is a tribute to Jurassic Park.
