Well the 3rd thing I recommended Roland00 Send a noteboard - 16/01/2019 08:11:46 PM

I kid, of course.

Actually, the library across the street from me does not receive any tax dollars from the city of Derby. It is supported by a foundation provided by the family that founded it plus through voluntary contributions. I donate every year. Willingly.

I have seen most of the Sopranos on DVD. Not all, but more than half. I should make time to re-watch all.

As to your other recommendations, I'll check them out. I usually do.


Well the 3rd thing I recommended references an event that takes place in Season 02 Episode 10, and I never noticed the book that a character is reading and it is extremely relevant to this conversation between you and me and the podcast I recommended that came out yesterday.

I also made this thread on January 13th and also relevant that came out on the 15th is Vox's The Weeds where they have an episode on talking about what should be the maximum justifiable tax rate. 1/15/19 Taxing The Rich https://overcast.fm/+FOOSbjw7s

Except this vox episode may be bad for your heart and your blood pressure Old Man Even though they do address and honor the arguements you are making Taxes it is not about economics it is about moral philosophy and what you think should be the founding values other people should organize around. (Aka the 2nd link the Jonathan Haidt book.)

people who love to reference the maximum tax rates in the 50's and 60's... damookster - 16/01/2019 08:32:19 PM 370 Views
All this is addressed in the Vox's episode Roland00 - 16/01/2019 09:46:02 PM 372 Views
I listened to the entire episode. damookster - 17/01/2019 05:12:19 PM 371 Views

Charity as a substitute for tax. That's probably one of the dumbest American ideas I've encountered. fionwe1987 - 17/01/2019 05:19:06 AM 374 Views

I am offended by your offense, thus my being right has salience / primacy over you being right. Roland00 - 16/01/2019 04:45:11 PM 363 Views
