102 Things NOT To Do If You Hate Taxes

[nathanm]

Here's a thread:

http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/index.php?topic=15448.0

So you're saying that when he bothered to put top in there it was meant to convey a 90% effective tax rate and not a top marginal rate, even though he was specifically referring to previous tax policy in which the top marginal rate was in fact 90%? If you say so. If anyone implied a 90% effective rate, it was Conan (having only read page one)

Either way, if that's all you can point to, it's pretty thin evidence of an actual meme propagating across the forum. Are there examples of other people having made the same mistake? If so, great, let's start a new topic in big bold letters to make sure everyone knows that the tax brackets are and have always been marginal.

You're doing that backpedaling thing again Nate.

Your reference did not support your assertion, and I'm the one backpedaling?

I have yet to be divorced from reality. That seems to be what most frustrates you about my posts. (hard data is reality, my friend)

But Guido is right, I have never been the CEO of a public company. I doubt he has either, but whatever. At least I understand the concept of supply and demand. Without demand, there will be no increase in supply, so we'll continue to have a jobs problem.

Nathan, posting graphs and cobbling that into misinterpreted data isn't reality.

You should come to the summit as well.  Beer is a great equalizer.  I become shockingly liberal after a few Atlas IPA's.

It takes the Pub Ale for me to turn to the right a little.  It's my least favorite of Eric's offerings.  But I'll still drink it.

I lot of people agree with me when they have been drinking.

Some reason we can't have a "like" button on tnf?

I definitely become more attractive after they've been drinking.

For a second I thought the topic had changed to 102 things not to do if you hate TEXAS.

That's what I thought it said when I first saw the thread.

We're getting a glimpse at TNF'ers who are not only dyslexic but a tad bit irrational as well.....

Are you for real? Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you perhaps the greats example of a pot calling kettle black in the history of this forum.

Resorting to that cliche? A clear example of thinking small?

Anyone see a denial in that post?
