Not really. You said: As the chart clearly shows, higher tax rates (i.e. 90 percent in the "zenith" 1950s) do not correlate to increased tax revenues -- especially when tax revenue in the 1950s was lower than the 40 year average and tax rates were at their highest. If tax revenue averages...

This from the article I posted: The truth is, however, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act had little if anything to do with the current crisis. In fact, economists on both sides of the political spectrum have suggested that the act has probably made the crisis less severe than it might otherwise have...

Tax rates have very little to do with it. The most accurate means of measuring tax revenue is as a percentage of GDP. And, as a student of history, you should know that federal tax revenue as a percentage of GDP remains relatively constant regardless of the top marginal tax rate. Consider the...

Hell, Ben lives under the adjacent overpass, and he's dusting off so much snatch that he can't even keep track of it.

It's my fair city, dude. I was born there! I have a really really nice overpass picked out. And it's right next to UT.

The butt sex theory sounds reasonable. Let's go with that. All kidding aside, the Roman idea of sexual preference was completely different than ours. They would've scoffed at the idea that a person is born with an inclination one way or another. Gay sex was considered a fringe benefit of...

P-ville represent! I would love to move back to the Austin area.

Almost forgot to take a screenshot of that comment. Thanks for reminding me.

Bush was elected in 2000, but he didn't take office until 2001. I wasn't including him. I had numerous problems with the Bush Administration.

That's peculiar. That same picture was just posted to my Facebook wall.

I suppose it depends on how one defines "fiscal responsibility". When determining whether or not the government is on a fiscally sustainable path, the most important measure is government spending as a percentage of GDP. As long as government spending is shrinking relative to the overall size...

Let the record show Hos may be the most right wing man on the planet.

Speaking of Hos, I hope he glosses over your jorts and green balloons references.

From Article II of the Articles of Impeachment adopted by the House Judiciary Committee: Obviously, it's a "big enough deal" to get a President impeached. So... It's not like the IRS has never been used as an instrument of intimidation.

No answer? That's what I thought...

Let me answer your question with a question: Why did Nixon's Articles of Impeachment include his IRS scandal?

:lol Maybe after I stop laughing...
