Though I do need a new boyfriend soon. I need a huge, worn out tshirt.
So really, a boyfriend is just a big-shirt supplier for you?

So THAT'S what they're calling it these days.

The rest are just for sex and snuggles.
I called DH shortly after I got home. He said he'd call in 10 min. about an hour and a half a go. . Poor thing. these work confrences ( put on by his co) end up being much more work than they are supposed to be. Sadly, he was suposed to be kidnapped by ND tonight. I am guessing that isn't going to happen.
tonight's plans - mex food ( from tj's - I love their fresh tamales) too much tv, possibley too much wine, and a too late bed time. This will bother my cat
Actually flat tax does not even make things less complicated. Deductions are what makes things complicated. And you can eliminate deductions in a gradudated system just fine.
There is a limit of course to eliminating deductions. Some peole have complicated finances, and their deductions will be complicated too. I mean if you run a business, in an income tax you pay taxes on profits which is revenue minus expenses. And both have to be listed and both have to be defined. No way a business or corporate income tax can be simple. Individual - probably could be made simple for most people. But not for most rich people; generally if you are rich you get your income from a lot if different sources - you finances are complicated so your taxes will be too.
Also at the end of the day, I would rather have the tax system fairer rather than simpler. Not the same thing - and the two are not always compatible.
On edit - reference to flat tax discussion up thread - no buried lead, just a reply to something said a while back.
Cindy, are you around by any chance?
That's right, Trevor -- her streak of not having sex in her current apartment continues unbroken...
Heh. Teppy, you have no idea how relieved I was to recently (finally!) break that streak for this apartment...
there are 2 deductions that I think are across the board good. Some percentage of education - because I think an educated population is a goodthing. Charitable deductions. and a third, houseing - not just morgage, but maybe if you had an account that was saving for a first home. though there is stupid stuff in owning a home. I really do spend more time and have more intrest in upkeep then I did when I was renting. and I was a really good tenent.
and I will not watch BSG unless DH says he is going to see it.

Except I grabbed beer to go with the Mexican and the cat is happy because I let her eat some shredded cheese. It's newly found as kitty crack for the kittenish.v
I can't really explain my tax theories. I don't rationally think there is a way to make them simple or fair but a little simpler and a little fairer would be nice. Mostly I just hate that I make what I used to think was really good money and I am struggling.
but maybe if you had an account that was saving for a first home.This would take care of one my major complaints.
