Rob,
in canada, you know the rules already. the whining, complaining, etc here is generating tons of changes of which we’re bound to end up as collateral damage. I rather be north of the border and wait out what this country will do
Well, if you don’t respond, how will I know who you mean when you say “entitled welfare classes”? That was typically used by neocons to refer to scary fictitious hordes of poor black lazy people, but I can’t imagine that was what you meant, so I was trying to think of other people who don’t lift their fingers. Perhaps you meant corn farmers? Tax-break’d capital-gains-earners? Terri Schiavo?
And still waiting to hear about the 1950’s innovation drought. Unless I missed that response above somewhere.
OK, folks you may be ready for a break. I went to Menchanko Tei for noodles last night and they were not good unfortunately (45th and Lex). (Hiyashi chuka) BUT it was a good chance to talk to my Japanese buddy here (who was in the restaurant biz) and who advised me on the latest and best in noodles. Also, I put together a little list of some of the best Japanese restaurants for different stuff (my favorite and his too). I’ll give it later.
I wasn’t specifically talking about taxing capital, I was just defining who is filthy rich.
But, to clarify my plans after you’ve put me in charge, I guess it would just mean they got taxed at 50% or whatever on everything they made that year, because they’d been assessed as being part of the ‘filthy rich bracket’
They’re welcome to convert their riches to liquid money and spend it to pay off taxes, and then they can be middle-class like the rest of us and *still live in a $3m brownstone and have $1 in the bank*. I will also personally come over and play a tiny violin for them.
Because if your question is “Does using my piles of money to buy an object of enormous value mean I no longer am rich” the answer is no.
You’re twisting my words, bfarwell. I’m not going to waste any more time responding.
You continue to root for socialism and I’ll continue to find further loopholes in the tax code so that my hard earned money isn’t just taken away and doled out to the entitled welfare classes.

But anyway, yes, Japanese food is delicious.
“no way! there is no humor in canada”
That’s cuz Biff moved to the US, *rob*.
Your 11:28 post is essentially why the U.S. will never vote in a socialist. You don’t seem to understand the difference between assets and income.
Biff’s not here to take the bait, Rob, and I’m not going to either.

Have a nice day.
I guess we can agree on sewers, bfarwell!
