		<description>I&#039;d not rely on that... the Beeb tends to be pretty much Pro-Democrat in it&#039;s reportage, although it does attempt to self apply a fairness doctrine. From a US stand point it&#039;s more or less Pravda (back before it became the Weekly World News in Cyrillic), at least based on what I&#039;ve seen of Liberal thought on here...</description>

		<description>The word is &#039;tenet&#039;... 

and I can imagine the squawking if he&#039;d done ANYTHING for the woman. Your beloved Right Wing radio &#039;personalities&#039; (I use the term loosly) would have had a field day. 

One has to love the hypocrisy... Cylla and Charybdis. Any proof he knew she was here?</description>

		<description>He&#039;s either sad because he&#039;s leaving, or because he now knows what the caption says about him is true.

Hopefully it&#039;s the latter.</description>

		<description>Well, the problem with the castration thing (and, for that matter, the death penalty) is that it&#039;s so hard to undo once you figure out that he was actually innocent.

This is especially true in Texas, where their supreme court has ruled that anyone does have the right to have a lawyer, but you don&#039;t have the right to an AWAKE lawyer.  Seriously.  Someone appealed his case because his court appointed attorney slept pretty much all the way through it and he was sentenced to death, and the supreme court basically ruled &#039;nowhere in the constitution does it say that you have the right to a competent, awake lawyer... just a lawyer&#039;.

He was executed.  Later evidence suggests he might well have been innocent.

But oh well.  Better to kill a hundred innocent men than let one guilty one go free, right?</description>

		<description>in fl (well the central part) we have lots of orange groves.  not so much with the beauty, but the scent of blooming ornage blossoms always make me so...wistfully happy.
bluebonnets are awesome, i used to get them and snap dragons for my mom from the local flower shop.

my lil&#039; sister and her partner live in ashville, NC which has the highest gay-straight ration in the country (according to NPR), it&#039;s mostly women too, but a healthy balance of butch and lipstick.  mostly though they are all hippies, lol.</description>

		<description>The Laffer curve describes the relationship between tax rates and government income. Obviously, if the tax rate is zero, income is zero. As you raise the tax rate, income also increases, up to a point. Because at 100% taxation, no one would work. After you reach the peak of the Laffer curve, raising taxes lowers income, as the economy slows down.
--
The argument is, where is the point of greatest revenue? You can&#039;t actually experiment to find out, because there are so many uncontrollable variables in an economy, it is hard to tell if the economy is responding to your actions, or doing what it was going to do anyway.
--
Most studies put the high point of the Laffer curve at 65%. Of course, right wing and libertarian studies put it much, much lower, but it is all about the assumptions you use, because as I said, you can&#039;t do controlled experiments on the economy.

In any case, the most recent government study (they ARE interested in getting the most revenue, after all) shows that we are on the left hand side of the Laffer curve, where raising taxes raises revenue.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Laffer curve describes the relationship between tax rates and government income. Obviously, if the tax rate is zero, income is zero. As you raise the tax rate, income also increases, up to a point. Because at 100% taxation, no one would work. After you reach the peak of the Laffer curve, raising taxes lowers income, as the economy slows down.<br />
&#8211;<br />
The argument is, where is the point of greatest revenue? You can&#8217;t actually experiment to find out, because there are so many uncontrollable variables in an economy, it is hard to tell if the economy is responding to your actions, or doing what it was going to do anyway.<br />

		<description>Just to give some perspective:
1971 Tax Rate for Highest Earners = 70% 
1985 Tax Rate for Highest Earners = 50% 
2008 Tax Rate for Highest Earners = 35% 
Obama Proposed Tax Rate for Highest Earners = 39%</description>

		<description>Why do you tax whiners always think that the taxes are going straight to welfare recipients? Only a tiny fraction ever goes to welfare recipients, it&#039;s just a target of convenience invented by the right.  It&#039;s expensive to run a country this size, it requires a lot of infrastructure, but all you can think about is how it might cost you an extra twelve cents, IF you actually made enough money to have the higher taxes.  The slogan was &quot;no taxation without representation&quot;, but you all seem to think it was simply &quot;no taxation&quot;.  It&#039;s the dues you pay to live here, and I&#039;m sick of hearing you unpatriotic &#039;real Americans&#039; whine about it INCESSANTLY.</description>
