You know if there were fewer lawyers, you'd probably get paid more.

It's not just what's best for Barrister. -_-
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

To a large extent I think it already does.

Well I don't see it.

What about Sarah? (Palin)
Speaking of Palin, did you know that ~14m more people watched the 2008 Vice Presidential debate than watched the first 2008 Presidential debate? That's pretty sad.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Based on Maggie, Golda and Indira I kind of admire and fear successful female politicians.

What about Sarah? (Palin)

He didn't say anything about successful reality tv stars.

People choosing their TV viewing based on perceived entertainment value ?

Anyway, when does the debate start, in GMT+1 please.  :bowler:

Yeah, listening to McCain and Obama debate would probably put people to sleep. Though I wouldn't be surprised if McCain fell asleep himself.

Just heard on CNN that Romney has proposed a $17K cap on deductions.

The problem with diversity is that is too often a code word for minority/female set-asides.  I.e. quotas.

What are the odds for Mittens saying something like "you people" to solidify Garbon's vote.

Works great for Mittens.  Only penalizes those poor smucks who make their money earning wages.  Doesnt touch those who can get paid through dividends, share options etc.

I think a person who has nothing but unearned income is still allowed to claim deductions.  :hmm:

You are missing the big point which is that a cap on deductions affects those who earn taxable incoming through wages more then people who earn income through more tax advantageous means.

I'm not missing the point.  I'm thinking it's wrong.

A cap on deductions affects those who have been able to deduct high amounts more than people who haven't. :smarty:
