While I agree that Alan Greenspan has some to do with the Recession, I believe that Government has more culpability with it due to the Community Reinvestment Act.

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

If I could only smoke one more cigar and it would be the very last cigar I would ever smoke? Padron 45th Anniversary. I haven't had it yet, But I love Padron and this one is extremely Rare.

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.

Have you ever made a snowman out of sand?

That would be pretty cool to hear the sonic boom. I've been to both space centers...but unfortunately have never seen a shuttle launch or landing.

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 take it that's a 'no' on studying your dreams.

Are you close with your family?

How many siblings do you have?

 

[Marx]

What movie terrified you as a child? Have you gone back to watch it now that you're older?

 

[SuBe]

Are you close with your family?

How many siblings do you have?

I'm pretty close to my family, I talk to my parents usually once a week, my brothers pretty often on the Xbox.

I have a twin brother and an older brother.

The Fly with Jeff Goldbloom. Still freaks me out. That whole puking thing with the hair things and the changing then the baby scene with the maggot. *Blarf*

..the black wolf from 'The Neverending Story' always freaked me out.

Do you know that you have skipped a couple of my questions? Is that accidental? Or on purpose?

Huh, I didn't know that.

 

[Marx]

Huh, I didn't know that.

They weren't anything earth shattering. Haha. I just wondered how many cigarettes you smoked per day before you quit? And if you've ever made a snowman out of sand?

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?

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.

"Elasticity of Reported Income".

The Laffer curve is the wrong "reasoning", elasticity of reported income, is a more accurate reasoning. Outcome wise they are similar. Thus when tax rates are more "reasonable" to them, they are less likely to use tax shelters. The latter allows someone to pay less while earn more.

 

[Paradoxium]

Which is worse?

Tom Welling in a Superman movie, or the IRS?

 

[SuBe]

I smoked 2.5 packs a week, so an average of 7.1428571 a day.
No, no Sandmans.

IRS. If we didn't have the IRS we wouldn't have a Villain for Towellman to fight.

Do you enjoy reading books? If so, any specific genre?

I read as much as I can.

I more than often read Non-Fiction, political Books. It's hard to get into Novels anymore, but I do love 1984 by George Orwell. My favorite book of all time is probably Alice in Wonderland. Its art. My favorite author is Neal Boortz, even his Non-FairTax books are good reads.

I want to read Atlas Shrugged, and will as soon as I'm done reading the 4 books I'm trying to finish now.

They are "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin, "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg, "Teach Yourself Guitar" by some English dude that spells "favorite", "favourite", and "FairTax: The Truth, Answering the Critics". I'm re-Reading that so I'm 100% up on the details of the FairTax.

What are your thoughts on Tim Burton's 'Alice In Wonderland'? Do you plan on seeing it?

I noticed that you gave a thumbs down to 'AVATAR'. I still haven't seen it. Why didn't you like it?

 

[Marx]

What are your thoughts on remakes and prequels?

What are your thoughts on the '3D' wave that's hitting Hollywood?

Have you ever heard of the band Muse? If so, percentagewise how much awesomeness do they contain?

I might watch Alice in Wonderland, but it doesn't look that good in my opinion.

Avatar made me sick because of the 3D and the plot was more than cliche.

Remakes are fine as long as there are is a reason. Prequels are usually uninteresting because we already know where the story is going. Reboots are fine as long as they add originality. Like Star Trek.

I love both of those! I crack up every time I see the Geico one, and I haven't seen the Walmart one before, but that is sure to scar some kids. lol
