I think this thread should be renamed "CLUELESS"

Clueless about money and cluless about sex.

A capitol gain is still a capital gain. A house, a car, a motorcycle would not be a capitol gain, A second house, a second car, a second motorcycle would be. Basically, no stockpiling of goods to protect money as a savings account. Sell anything at a profit and it's a capitol gain and subject to taxation. So, you can buy a new bigger house and not pay taxes, as long as you sell your existing house. And of course the sales of that house, would be taxable as it's income. So anyone can have the biggest and the best of everything, just not two of them without paying taxes. That would be stockpiling, which is the same as storing money.

And besides, saving are all taxed right now anyway and that doesn't keep people from saving. But yes, the whole idea is to prevent people from stockpiling wealth and reinvesting it in the economy. Once one has more than they can consume, saving becomes the only option, even at a high tax rate.

Agreed!

Is your last name, Warren?

Clueless?

I personally thank Elizabeth for letting it all hang out, Sorry if Punky pink left with her passion.

My hedge fund is making more than I am right now. It is going to be taxed at a high rate as I withdraw it.

There is inequality between what men and women make in the workplace. Hell, there's inequality betweenn what men and men make where I'm employed.

Healthcare is non existant. My cousins doctor told him, "You wouldn't have these problems if you'd died when you were supposed to." Our healthcare is based on a lie. Doctors can't save lives. If they could don't you think they would save their own? Average life span of a physician is less than 55 years old.

"If you believe it, It isn't a lie." That's a quote from Bill Clinton.

That is the basis for religious freedom. However just because you believe it, doesn't mean it's the truth.

No I don't believe in Allah, Zues, Santa, the Easter Beagle, Great Pumpkin, or any other imaginary friends.

The Truth will set you free.

Actually, "

" is from a 1990's Seinfeld episode. George Constanza says it. He's much funnier than Bill Clinton.

You have no idea how accurate shows about mentally screwed up physicians are.

Check out House for example. I can't watch it.

Physicians have high alcoholism and divorce rates.

Not explaining the why. Just the facts. Lots of dyslexia too for a profession.

Not to reflect on individuals, just the population.

It's funny that you would insult everyone, but not tell us what it is we are so clueless about, that apparently is a universal truth?

Surely, if a person is actually clueless, the person is surely clueless about the person's cluelessness? Ask me whether that is so, and I may answer that I am clueless.

I seem to recall a radio broadcast of a Second City production in which Severn Darden was asked (by a "plant" in the audience?), "What is truth?"

Darden, in reply, "I don't know, and that's the truth."

For those who are unable to avoid mixing set theory with general semantics, methinks that the extensional meaning (or denotation) of "truth" necessarily includes the intensional meaning (or connotation) as a proper subset of "truth" (including, perchance, that "truth" is merely a perfectly meaningless word), or "truth" cannot exist.

Alas, Sweetpickle's comment about "CLUELESS" did not insult everyone, the irrefutable evidence of that being so is simply that it did not insult me.

Could that be the result of my being clueless?

Women just have more graceful attractive bodies. This attraction seems universally shared with a larger & diverse crowd then those who feel "good" as they watch to men exchanging <censored>.

That's just the way it is.

How about appreciating "we" are more open two discuss such tender subjects.

Frenchmen have been kissing each other for years.

Of course they never use long soul-kisses exploring mouths with tongues, however this whole post is intended to be tongue-in-cheek. ;)

No kidding, if it shocks you, don't watch.

Hasn't anyone ever told you the joke about knowing that grandma (or grandpa) has alzheimer's when you go to kiss them goodnight and they "...slip you the tongue"?

C'mon, lighten up. people.
