Post #28,943 by Brandioch 2/19/02 2:00:23 PM Reply	Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I'm better than you. You don't like my public demonstration of the techiques for manipulating the small minded? Deal with it. Bill is not interested in holding a civil discussion with me. Support for that statement can be found in the url I referenced in my preceeding post. Review it. Learn from it. And try to work on your comprehension skills.
Post #28,949 by drewk 2/19/02 2:32:38 PM Reply	Oh, no wonder you're so upset I finally read that link you pointed me to. Looks to me like Bill refused to accept your requirement of stating a binary position. When he insists on a nuanced position you accuse him of weasling. When he acceptsyour proposed binary deinition for the sake of argument, you accuse him of a binary worldview and shoot down your own straw man. You: "I just want to see you say that a sales tax is non-regressive." Bill: "By itself, a sales tax, even one that exempts clothing and food, >is< regressive. However, I did not say that sales tax alone should be used, did I?" See? He uses your definition for the sake of argument, then points out that it was, in fact, your argument, not his. We have to fight the terrorists as if there were no rules and preserve our open society as if there were no terrorists. -- [link\|http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/05/opinion/BIO-FRIEDMAN.html\|Thomas Friedman]
Post #28,953 by Brandioch 2/19/02 2:56:20 PM Reply	Let's go over that again. So, he admits that a sales tax is regressive. Then he wants to combine a REGRESSIVE tax with a FLAT tax and have the RESULT be a PROGRESSIVE tax. Would >YOU< care to explain how that is possible? A regressive tax PLUS a flat tax == a progressive tax. Feel free to explain this. He couldn't. Then he ran away.
