It's time for everyday Americans to get out there to help support wealthy Americans and get them back on their feet again where they rightfully belong.

I was the chosen cook today so I didn't see any early games. I have season tickets so we always tailgate and the tv is in the motor home. So not only did I have cooking duty but since I don't drink my butt didn't get home until just now. I drove my buddy home (about 25miles away) then we played 9 ball and watch the Pats go down.

We be tied......until next week. And we're on the 'flex schedule' so I bet they move Phi vs Chi for our game.

Must go see what happened with Orton, I noticed on the stats that Simms was 3-13 and an INT????

Which 25% are you referring to?

Do you not recall your own post?

You stated that in the late 60's to early 70's only about 25% of the population in American graduated High School.

I said that I would bet that those who graduated in the 70's are smarter than the 70% who graduate now.... the standards have been severly lowered.

Still don't get it, do you. Those of us who get our income from our own work pay taxes at a higher rate than those who get their income from other people's work. I'd say it's the working taxpayers who are kept in serfdom by the non-working market speculators--which isn't really any different from how it was in England hundreds of years ago.

We shall take a look at my field of experience shall we.
Aeronautical/Aviation engineering/Repair.

The company owner must buy/rent the building... furnish very specific and expensive tooling. Acquire manuals that must be updated at a minimum on an annual basis( we have over 2000 manuals, most in excess of $1000 per update... provide training to those who need it... pay for lights, insurance, taxes....All of this is a direct capital outlay from the owner.... and IF the company eventually starts to turn a profit you think that all of those profits should go to the employees? Are you insane? Who in their right mind would invest in a company with that stupidity to look forward to?

Take a remedial business course.

No, I stated that in 1960 only about 44% of adults aged 25 and older had a high school diploma. That would reflect more on the graduation rates of 1953 and earlier.

On average, you would be correct. However, that does not mean that those at the top are any less educated. Again, this has to do with what we as a nation think the purpose of HS is.

If it is to prepare students for college, then maybe a 70% graduation rate may be a little high. If it is to prepare young people for college and/or to enter the workforce then maybe 80 - 85% is acceptable. But is should be self-evident that depending on what we decide we want, the standards and the graduation rates will change.

What type of flying craft? Commercial aircraft manuals are furnished by the constructing firm and any furnishings that require manuals are provided by whomever provides the furnishings. Most manuals are online and are updated online.

Military aircraft: The military pays the manufacturer to write the maunual, this is to include sensitive avionics, radar and other eltro-optical devices.

Many firms hire ex-military who were trained by the military and require little further training. They also partner with local colleges to provide training at the students cost so little training is required on hire.

End it, end it now. I can put everything in savings and live off the interest. Hate the game, not the player.

I noticed he convienently FORGOT about that FACT that cap gains and dividends are most often obtained thru post-tax monies. He's just a typical LIB (aka socialist), he hates those who succeed.

Dividends are most often after corporate taxes. But Capital gains by definition have never been taxed, at least at the federal level. And since the federal level allows you to deduct investment costs (to include taxes) from your profit, they really have not been taxed.

Evidently you conviently forgot that fact.

FWIW, I have a degrees in Business Administration and Economics, even got a little certificate saying I graduated with honors. Whoop-de-do.

Anyways, there's a difference between someone who starts or runs an aircraft repair business and somebody who buys a share of Boeing stock that has changed hands several thousand times since Boeing first sold it to somebody. My point was (and remains) that income derived from other people's work (dividends, interest, most capital gains, most rent) should be taxed at least as highly as income from one's own work. You're welcome to keep arguing with points I haven't made if that makes you feel better tho.

Dividends are paid out of a corporation's retained earnings, which is accrued post-tax income--but corporations have a knack for piling up the retained earnings without paying much in taxes (or even getting refunds). So the whole tax-twice thing is mostly myth. But since dividends are the opposite of investment, the more highly they are taxed the more likely a corporation is to reinvest retained earnings in something productive.

And if you ever succeed in making sense, I will be the first to congratulate you. You've got a ways to go tho.

I tend to agree Walt. We no longer value work in this country.

Thank you. I have no idea why I keep arguing with these guys--I could be watching a movie or sleeping or working out or cleaning house or just about anything else more productive.

The odds are not out yet but when they are...I have a idiot friend who still goes down to TJ and places bets. I keep telling him they need odds on him having his head found in a ditch 5 miles away from his body. He doesn't find that as funny as I do, oh well.

But don't count out your Bronco's yet. Anything can happen, just look at the 1st place Bengal's. And the Lion's won, it was 7 weeks ago but they won one.
