there was an article on CNN indicating that 40% of Americans will not pay any federal income taxes.

oh no, I think they need to be taxed more equitably. there are so many things wrong with large corporations (outsourcing, bonuses to failed executives, greed over quality, causing the current recession, just to name a few) If corporations can not be responsible to those that work for them or to pay their fair share (most pay nothing) then let them bleed. As for corporations that are responsible partners, sure, let them pay less. 

this thread started out as a joke, right?

Idiocy is always amusing.

It makes it even more amusing when you link to an article dated Feb 04, 2009 at 11:49 AM   and then rant about it on October 7, 2009 06:00:11 like it is breaking news you are the first to share with the world.

You better bee-lieve it!

About as possible as Obama controlling Stardock 

Now back on topic ...

There are a lot of corporations which receive tax breaks, some who have huge profits. The oil companies come to mind. Why jump up and down about Stardock?

I always find that it's amazing that when a thread like this gets posted the originator very rarely comes back and replies.  It's been over 10 hours and yes people do have a life, they work, have a family and have other things to do.  Still, with such a strong opinion you who have thought that a defense of one's position or opinion on a subject they brought up would have been important to them.

Oh well, never mind then. 

ADHD is a serious .....

...oh look... a butterfly.

I guess someone really ought to say that states have provided tax breaks to companies to start up offices for decades.  I don't really know how long, I'm inclined to say "forever" but that simply can't be true.  Anyway it has nothing to do with the current president, welfare, government control, the current state of the economy, or any imagined conspiracy.  And it's certainly nothing new. It's about getting business into a state to generate jobs, business, and yes, taxes.

I'm just afraid that some poor schmuck who hasn't watched his local news, ever in his life, might not realize just how off base the original post is.

I'll be quiet now, hope you had a good nap from that.

Ask Fox and Dana.

so, Brad is part of the hive mind now......    1of10,000,000,000,000,000,000     

You should have your accountants read this Brad http://losthorizons.com

Actually, every American taxpayer should. The site is huge and no...not a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory site. Once you actually read it...the lights in your head should come on. It might take some time since as I said the site is huge...but worth your time.

Yeah, he does some wicked shit, doesn't he! 

I also hear, to boost Stardock coffers, that he's charging the Dep't of Agriculture to study the geese, spider ducks and other critters on Stardock land... you know, camping rights... for the use of electricity and (outdoor) toilets, etc.  The next stage is charging tourists admission and setting up a kiosk selling postcards, souvenirs and other tourist paraphanalia... and of course, Stardock software.... or an exit fee if they don't purchase from the kiosk.

Now some may think this is to raise enough money to unhinge Obama's grip on Stardock - and of course, to provide more jobs - but I think it's much more than that... something more sinister, like buying up oodles of Microsoft shares ... to eventually gain control over the Windows and Office GUI's.  Once Frogboy gets that, skinning will go ahead in leaps and bounds cos there'll be no more hard-coded shit getting in the way... so yeah, it's a win win situation for us.

Well!!!  It makes about as much sense as Stardock collecting corporate welfare...Obama controlling Stardock, don't it.

BTW, Fuzzy, you weren't supposed to make that mind control device public, being that it is based on Stardock technology. That very same technology (un)happycamper88 claims makes us all come back to Stardock software over and over again... that self-same software none of us would love if it weren't for brainwashing and mind control. Yup, you're a very naughty boy orright... wouldn't wanna be in your shoes, giving away trade secrets like that.

Barrack Hussein Obama, he said we must be fair today, equal work for equal pay....MMMM.. MMMM... MMMM

John Smith - Indoctrinated 1st grader - 2009

Yup... his mummy bought him a new tent and he's off happily camping... the reason he ain't here to pull our legs/piss in our pockets some more.

However, if it pisses down with rain, he'll be back.... a lot less happy and suggesting Frogboy was in collusion with Ma Nature to ruin his vacation in the wild.... not that any of us would swallow that.  If Frogboy was really in collusion with Ma Nature, he'd have info from the horses mouth (so to speak) and we wouldn't have had all that hassle with the weather widgets a while back.
