Sociologists and political scientists are jealous but stepping up their games.
Psychologists Id argue are the biggest charlatans of our time, it's pure pseudo-science trash.

I quit my undergraduate degree in it because when I finally asked "so where do these figures in the formula actually originate?" and was told "It's theoretical".

Psychologists never prove ANYTHING, it's an impossibility, so they get my vote.

(Well "herbalists" really come first, but they're not even worth consideration)

Economies of scale should get consideration imo. If we're talking destructive potential, psychologists wield bayonets, while political scientists and economists are in bombers and boomers respectively. cn

Lets set the record straight Bucky.
First of all, I never said you shouldn't have an opinion on fiscal policies just because you currently do not pay federal income taxes. Instead, I'm trying to tell you that you have no moral ground ripping apart others for not paying more taxes than they already do!

It's one thing to give an opinion, it's another thing calling people vile names while they are paying taxes and you choose to pay nothing, if that's not hypocritical, I don't know what is.

Every one of us should have the right to our own opinion whether we pay into the system or are on the other end of taking it out.

There are many left leaning people on this site that do an honest days work and pay their taxes, I respect their opinion even if I disagree with them. These people have skin in the game and their opinion is just as valid as mine, but someone who voluntarily chooses not to work and not pay taxes would be better served by being a bit more humble in their rhetoric IMO.
you're a lying sack of shit.

here is what you said, clayton:

...until you start practicing what you preach and pay income taxes yourself, you need to STFU about how much the real workers pay.
you never said anything about "being more humble", you said "need to STFU".

try to keep track of your lies by putting them on a spreadsheet, perhaps.

you lying sack of shit.

and furthermore clayton, you lying racist, are you forgetting that i do pay taxes, state, federal, and more?

https://www.rollitup.org/politics/538629-there-anyone-here-decent-math.html

i know you're a racist who doesn't like the president purely for the color of his skin, even though you took his tax breaks and never complained, but please try to restrict your racist anger to him, and stop trying to spread lies about me.

also, you have never proven you have paid a red cent in taxes. you are most likely sitting at mommy and daddy's computer, pretending to be a republican archetype. too bad you are a failure and a racist.

Stuff your assumptions where the sun does not shine... It gets tiring hearing you tear everyone else down on this site simply because you are some broken down fuck who cant find a real job and has ego issues because of it....

listen, kiddo.

clayton the racist is trying to spread lies about me. i'm correcting the record by pointing out that he is a lying liar.

i'm so sorry to hear you've become so emotionally attached to a lying liar that you feel his butthurt for him.

you should be thanking me because your buddy's butthurt is going to seem like a mild headache when your savior goes down in flames on election day.

think of your current butthurt as butthurt preparation.

you're welcome.

Political scientists and economists use the same sort of data sets and some of the same theoretical falsities that psychologists use, basically statistics formed on assumptions applied to populations using theoretical figures.

I always had a fondness for the surety of mathematics before experiencing the way it can be twisted, the devil really is in the details tho.

One of our national wits captured it in a nutshell with his hierarchy of "lies, damned lies and statistics". cn

You guys are fucking idiots if you think either Obama or Romney actually represent you and who you are.

If I met someone who was actually like one of those candidates, I'd slap the stupid out of both sides of their mouth.

your butt seems awfully hurt.

unhurt butts do not comport themselves in the butthurt manner with which you are comporting yourself.

I dont expect Romney to represent me specifically. I expect him to bring some stability to the markets. Do you know that the tax rates still have not been decided for next year? The government is saying that *Of Course* they will come to some sort of resolution in the lame duck session but not many people believe them. If nothing is done, taxes are going up on a massive scale.

I expect him to attempt to make the tax cuts and start laying the groundwork for private business to start hiring again, lowering unemployment and raising government revenue.

If Obama is re-elected I expect him to keep trying to tax the rich more without implementing any serious spending reforms.

Romney is a much better pick IMO, because we cannot afford 4 more years of Obummer....

This years growth is weaker than last years and last years was weaker than the year before. Obama keeps saying forward when the train is stalled on the tracks and he just keeps putting more weight on it.

If you're looking for someone who thinks cannabis is ok and is fond of capitalism, vote for the Libertarian candidate.

The argument is complicated by the fact many treadmill producers/salesmen WOULD infact pay taxes, but to do so when your product is "federally regulated" would be pretty dumb.

One audit or any sort of attention and it's off to get fucked in the ass by "Bubba" and "Bear" in federal ass-rape prison.

Treadmill producers/salesmen of the kind found on this site arnt rich or violent criminals and although their income is tax free, probably 100% of their income goes back into the economy.

I think that's what you fail to grasp.
No I totally understand the federal tax issue and cultivation bro.
My point is, guys like UB who choose NOT to work at a real job and pay taxes should not be ridiculing others who in fact do work and pay taxes for not paying enough, it's totally hypocritical, don't you agree?

UB has a choice, he prefers to stay home and not work, no one in their right mind is going to believe he cant hold down a steady job while taking care of the few plants he grows. And to be honest with you, that is fine but I don't feel it gives him any moral ground to complain about others not paying enough, while he pays ZIP! (pun intended)

Hell, I don't pay taxes on my own grows but I sure do running my business.
