Buddy is somewhat frantic today. Seems somebody pushed his anitBush, anti Repbublican buttons. He appears like a cartoon waving tattered Demo-lib protest signs. ;) What a character. You are correct. He posts way too much. He seems to have some obsession with forcing his will upon people. I am still waiting for that anti-Democrat post to roll off his keyboard. Seems Buddy is a Libertarian, but his Keyboard and PC are stictly Demo-Lib. His costume is doesn't fit at all.

You still crying, tonto, about me daring to point out the obvious: that our tax codes are a morass of loopholes, special tax preference items, and favors for the politically well-connected????????? HaHaHaHa!!!!!!!! It's simply pointing out the obvious: an 82,000 page federal tax code is TOO DAMN LONG. Can't imagine why you'd be so sensitive to the word "loophole" (unless you make your living at H&R Block, or as a tax shelter attorney, or else you just favor screwing the American people... :( You are really going wild with your Orwellian 'political correctness'. So touchy, so sensitive about the morass of loopholes that we laughingly call our 'tax system', and anyone daring to say it's full of 'loopholes'! As to something else that is EQUALLY OBVIOUS: if you think I 'post too much', you could always NOT POST TO ME (duh!) ... that tends to generate reply posts, don't 'cha know Tonto. :) --------------------------------------------------------- Re: "Loopholes is a term that people who don't understand tax law use." You don't LIKE THE WORD??????? (Ah, poor baby....) How about: "SPECIAL TAX PREFERENCE ITEMS"? There. You feel BETTER NOW? (You know... PRETENDING that our tax codes aren't ridden with LOOPHOLES doesn't make it any less true....) Re: "We understand the laws and use them to our fullest legal advantage." I never said that people were obligated to pay more then they are legally required to! ============================================ As the late US Appeals Court judge Learned Hand once wrote: "There is nothing sinister about arranging one's affairs so as to keep taxes as low as possible...nobody owes any duty to pay more than the law demands." ============================================
