So, let's look at an example.
Middle class family uses 50 gallons of gas a month. There is a 10% tax on the gas. At $3. a gallon, they pay $15. in gas tax. The price goes up to $5 a gallon. They pay $25. in gas tax.
California switches to a $.30 a gallon tax. At $3 a gallon, they pay $15. in gas tax. At $5 a gallon they pay $15. in gas tax.
A flat tax is better for people when there is inflation. A % tax is better if there is deflation.

Then you should try reading only my posts and re-computing. The feces being thrown around by the other monkeys isn't even on topic with the simple, factual observation I brought to the board.
All they're doing is managing to get a ton of crap stuck to their fur, then pretending like everyone else around them stinks.

Why not take into account reality?

Maybe because you didn't bring any simple, factual observations to the board?
no no no that can't be it, it must be everyone else...

It was more like a simple, uninformed opinion.
But I can see how AA wouldn't understand the difference.

I can't help but pick on low hanging fruit...
Don't be low hanging fruit and threads like this won't happen to you.
BTW - that pic, that's basically what you did in the OP. Great choice, wrong target...

I guess the question then becomes, will AA ever grow out of his habit of pseudo-intellectual masturbation?
