It is not nonsense, it is an observed fact over 17 years of tax practice. Hell, I was in practice with an extremist liberal partner. It was a chronic problem to keep him from accomodating these people. Why is this? Was my partner a bad person? Of course not. But he had a very difficult time visualizing the line between right and wrong. Do I blame the clients? No, because they hire a CPA and rely on his judgment as to where the lines are. At any rate, these are facts, you weren't there, and you thus have no basis for challenging what I've said. Maybe the problem is you. You attract the wrong kind of liberal.

No, I think I made the point clearly. It isn't just the military industrial complex these countries are missing. We develop important new drugs then sell them to these other countries for less money than we sell them to ourselves. I'm not saying we shouldn't (in fact, I'm one of those who opposes the attempts to limit such sales). But realistically, these countries have their standards of living ONLY because we, the citizens of the United States, aid in their support -- in more ways than one. As to whether or not they WANT our support, well, probably nobody does until they need it. Your pal Harris said that liberals are parasites. So, yes, you have drifted off to left field again. As far as the direction in which you have gone, I have lived many years in Europe and travel there regularly. I can tell you from first hand experience that the topic you are trying to address in your typical simple minded fashion is way over your head. You have backed yourself into a corner again and now you'll say any dumb thing to keep the fantasy going. Let's end it. You don't know what you are talking about. Why is this? Was my partner a bad person? Of course not. But he had a very difficult time visualizing the line between right and wrong. Do I blame the clients? No, because they hire a CPA and rely on his judgment as to where the lines are. At any rate, these are facts, you weren't there, and you thus have no basis for challenging what I've said. So you had a shady partner, by which you conclude that liberals are all crooks? Meantime your republican hero gives tax breaks tailored to the rich? You are a comedian. Al
