15 Minutes 15 Minutes with SuBe

[SuBe]

In a realistic timeframe, how long before the fairtax will come into effect?

Who ends up paying more taxes the truly rich or the upper middle class and why?

How many cigars a day do you smoke and which ones?

Have you ever soaked the 'mouth' end of your cigar in good Cognac?

What is your 5 year career plan?

Where do you wish you were living if elsewhere from where you are?

What do you think about the wingnuts in the tea party (which is not all of them)?

Do you think Obama is a socialist and if the answer is yes, please explain to me what is socialism?

What are your thoughts about Sarah Palin?

Does Mitt Romney ever have a chance of being elected?

1. 10 to 15 years. If not sooner. As long as we educate, educate, educate. And Opposition actually argues factually against it instead of emotionally.
2. The Rich, because they spend more money. The more you spend, the more you pay in Taxes.
3. 2 to 3 a day, none on weekends unless I'm going out.
4. No. I haven't. I'm not a hard liquor kind of guy. I have dipped it into a little bid of Rum though.
5. Continue to Work in my field, for this company while growing contacts with other Manufacturer/Distributors. I love my job and wouldn't ever ask for anything else.
6. Actually no. I love SW Florida.
7. They are no worse than the wing nuts we saw all those years with Bush as President. But, in my opinion, the Wing Nuts in the Tea Parties are calling for Freedom, and the Lefty wing nuts called for More Government. I side with Freedom loving wing nuts.
8. I do believe Obama is a Socialist with Communistic ideals. He believes Government has the answers and the Free Market is the Enemy. He wrote that himself in one of his books. Socialism is the Political System that enables Government to Own and Regulate Business while allowing Private Individuals to Manages and Operate it. GM, for example, is 61% owned by Government. They are dictated what to manufacture by Government, but are manufactured by non-Government agents and sold by non-Government Individuals.
9. Sarah Palin is a well meaning ding bat that needs to read more and talk less.
10. Romney has a big chance in 2012, if the Republican Party can get their heads out of their asses and stop worrying about a woman's uterus and start focusing on the Economy.

 

[Marx]

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of you with more than a half inch of hair, how long have you kept your head shaved?

 

[SuBe]

Who is your political hero, someone that you model your politics after?

I have many. But, my "hero" is an ideology of Freedom that is Universal. No man or woman or child shall ever have their life threatened without their consent. Life is more than You, the living being, but everything you have ever put into your life. Which means property. You have a finite amount of time on this earth, and the property you acquire through legal means are yours to keep and no one has the right to them except you unless you willfully enter a contract with another being and consent to the transfer of that property. This includes Government. Government does not have a right you you, your property or your means to gain that Property, and that is called Liberty.

It's a perfect Triangle of Freedom and Love. You keep your stuff, you don't hurt me for mine. And vice-versa. I am free, you are free.

Jefferson, Madison, Bastiat, Paine, Smith, Adams, King, they all understood this. It's called Enlightenment and Reason, people are not taught this anymore.

 

[SuBe]

I know that you've been working out...how much weight have you lost?

I lost about 25 pounds, but I stopped working out in November and need to got back into doing that again. I gained back 10.

 

[SuBe]

It is my understanding that you are still successful in quitting cigarettes.

How many cigarettes did you smoke a day?

What advice would you give to those who want to quit, but can't. Or have tried to quit, and failed.

Yes, I quit 13 months ago.

Advice? Just quit. Be stronger than the cigarette. Don't think about it and if you do think about it, drink cold water. After a little while, you will forget all about it and can taste food again!

Thank you for your answers and I hope you are right about Romney. Evenhough I do not agree with answer number 8 having lived in France and seen first hand socialism, I would just like to discuss one of your answers which I have highlighted.

Do you know that the truly rich tend to structure their outflows and inflows to minimize taxes and as a percentage of their earnings pay a very small amount unless they are utter idiots and that the upper middle class cannot afford such structures?

That eventhough prima facea taxes are progressive the truly rich have more chances of avoiding them legally?

1. I received a Job offer from my current employer. He did an event with us at the store I was managing in Ohio and asked if I could work for him. I jumped at the chance, and love coming in every day.
2. No Snow. At all. And going to the Beach on Christmas day is pretty nice.
3. Season. The Snow birds moving down and traffic getting all horrible.
4. Not yet, I drove by it, but never been there.
5. I have not, but I do hear the Sonic Boom every time they come in to land.
6. Not been to any of those yet, but I did go to Busch Gardens with my Niece, that was a lot of fun.

 

[SuBe]

Have you been following the Winter Olympics? If so, which event is your favorite?

Nah, I am not one for Televised Sports, except the occasional Football game.

What will you sing?

1. Pyramid or The Price is Right. But, I'd only go on Price is Right to get Drew Carey's Autograph. Do they still do "Pyramid"?
2. Probably Marxie-poo
3. Marx, Matt, ImmortalFire, Addendum, Star, Gilpesh. Fireworks aplenty!
4. I'd find two 15 year olds and stack the deck in my favor. Mods: Matt and Kel, they would give me a run for my money.
5. Star, she is already drunk, and we would sing

 

[SuBe]

What is the weirdest dream you've ever had?

Have you ever had a recurring dream? If so, what was it?

Have you ever studied oneirology? (The study of dreams.)

1. I had a dream that I was in a Victorian Mansion, and someone was killed, I went to investigate, and eventually found out that all of the other people in the dream are actually parasites from another dimension. They change their appearance in every dream you have, but every character in your dreams is one of these parasites, and their goal is to kill you in your sleep and take over your body during waking hours. They are bound by real physics, while I am not since it's my dream. I swam through the air to get away from them. It would make an awesome movie.
2. I never had the same dreams more than once that I know of.
3. Are you hitting on me?

I thought you were asking specifically about the FairTax and taxes paid by different income classes.

I do understand that those with more wealth have more opportunity to shelter that wealth. That is one reason I support the FairTax is that it makes it unavoidable to pay taxes. As there is only one tax, when you purchase new goods and services with spending above the Poverty Level. It is progressive, efficient and fair.

If you could only smoke one more cigar, what would you smoke?
