Oooh. Pretty.
I'm usually pretty good about not clicking through to clothes porn, lest the PTB here think I'm wasting resources by shopping at work, but, but, oooooh.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I agree with Laura above and would totally be in favor of a flat tax. Just X% and that's what they get. I would be far less grouchy about it that way.
The problem with a flat tax is that it's unfair to poor people. People with greater ability should bear a greater percentage of the tax burden.
Aimee, that dress is gorgeous. I second your want!
That is a very Aimee dress.

This is why I want a graduated tax, but lower and with no deductions. Then it would be easier and people with lots of accountants (read, rich people) wouldn't get all the breaks. I think I'm in a minority of one, maybe two, on this though.

yeah. and then if you start doing it flat in stages you just slippery slope your way back into a complicated tax code.
Seany, do you still have that recipe I sent you? Tuns out it was on my work computer.

I'm all for getting rid of the massively complicated deductions, but there's probably a really convincing argument for keeping them that I'm not aware of.

I think I do, but it's packed away in one of the six or so boxes piled behind me. If it's important, I'll try to put a priority on digging it out some time this weekend.
I think, with local, state, federal, social security and medicaid we're looking at a 38% tax rate. They do blow.

As much as taxes blow, the flat tax blows more.
Aimee, that dress is fantabulous!!! I want it!
I swear I spent half the day not knowing what day of the week it was. Freak-y.
I just got back from seeing Jonathan Kozol speak. That man is amazing.
And now, I'm back in "I should forget about grad school and go teach" mode again. There's a Math for America recruiting poster that I walk by every day, and it keeps looking like a better and better idea.
