Stupid strawman was stupid and has been pointed out as such. All the goldfish gifs in the world won't make it less stupid.

So AA is so stupid he is defending his retarded abomination of a strawman?



It is like you were suddenly made aware that states resort to far more regressive taxation than the federal income tax and when no one else is surprised you think they are ignoring your great argument. Not to mention your general confusion about the entire topic being on display.

@Yuki:

A. Dems in Cali -- ALL ON THEIR OWN -- have instituted a 100% regressive tax on the most used and pervasive commodity in the state, disproportionately reaming every working man and woman therein



You're still an idiot no matter how many times you make things up.

The change you are ranting about doesn't institute a new tax...



So *that* is what you are hanging your hat on?

"It was there already, they just tweaked it".

Wonderful!

So, once a tax exists, you simply lose control over it, right? It has a life of its own and it cannot possibly be eliminated? And in fact, it will only become more regressive by necessity?

God I do love watching you people justify the unjustifiable.

Who said they lost control over it? It's apparent they haven't lost control over it (as that is the topic of this thread) and not only did they not loose control over it - they made the tax more progressive than it was previously.

Wow, this a seriously stupid thread.

Arguments here have always been about a national flat or "fair" tax, which isn't anywhere near comparable to a specifically targeted one.

But you did give Fist a chance to show his stupid again, so we'll call it even.

I wonder if after this thread the right wingers will realize how stupid they are when they act like a huge part of the population doesn't pay taxes.



Yeah no chance.

The goldfish .gif seems to be his surrender flag, I think it is as close as he can get to admitting his argument lost.
