Rep vs. Dem Differences

So does the tax on bakers with names starting with the letters A to M. Many of them
will go out of business, reducing competion and allowing the remaining bakers to
raise prices.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

If you can't deal with the nature of the business, then perhaps it's best to
stay out of it.

If trimming of messages is even on your radar, you are going to have a very
"interesting" experience, shall we say.

Enough of this already. Say your piece, then let's drop it.

My understanding is that the democratic party was not liberal enough
for the Canadians. They now have a liberal party in addition to the
democrat party.


The "Liberals" in Canada are actually the middle-of-the-road party. It is
the "Democrats" (actually "New Democratic" Party) which is the most
"left-leaning".


Canadian politics morphs over time.

The "basic" Candian sentiment is:

Very interesting. Thanks! When my wife and I flew our Mooney out to
Vancouver this summer there were elections taking place at the time.
We tried to ask people in the hotel what the differences were between
the parties but none of them really seemed to know. I guess it gets
confusing when you have so many choices.

In the interest of accuracy, the budget of the IRS is about $10B -
$11B - you're off by a factor of 10. I have no comment about any of the
rest of it.

Its so much easier when the choice is between the devil and the deep blue
sea. Either way your stuffed.

Baloney, they'll just change their names so they start with a "good" letter.

Reminds me of when there was the even/odd gas during the Arab oil embargo.
My family had two cars and a small transfer pump from JC Whitney. Business
went on.

You are correct, I misremembered that one.

Even so, the cost of compliance by the private sector are nearly equal to 20%
of the total collected. Nearly all of that would be eliminated under the
FairTax for business, and compliance cost for individuals would be one first
class stamp a year.
