Cutting taxes is buying votes by promising not to take as much as the bastard government is otherwise taking. Damn Hillary for taking so much. Damn Obama for the same reason.

There are positive externalities to wi-fi. Just like a telephone. If you're the only with it it, it's useless. The more others use it, the more it is profitable for you to have one. So people won't get wi-fi until more people have it, so we need the government to get it jump-started.

The thread responses covered a myriad of issues, including SSA statistics amongst Church membership, suicide, biases in our LDS culture, and others. After all of that, Tex's observation was unvelied to be that the writer has poor persuasive writing skills. A straw man, indeed.

I noticed your chart, by the way. I already said earlier that I don't think a per capita comparison is fair, given the sizeable difference in population. But as long as we're doing comparisons, we ought to compare those countries tax rates with our own. It may be we have finally found someone who has a worse understanding of the concept of a straw man than even Cali Coug. I didn't think it possible. Quote:

I'm starting to learn your sole debate tactic is to just cut and paste from my posts, whether it fits the point or not.

Heh, right. With apologies to The Office:
Jim (Tex): So where are you shipping your foot? Michael (TripletDaddy): Ha ha ha. So where are you shipping... Dwight (Cali Coug): Your foot. http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/theoff...office-212.htm
