kallend 2,032 #27 April 12, 2010 QuoteQuoteThere is NO WAY a T-28 Trojan should be tax exempt. That is a TOY can be used for marketing and brand awareness-lots of legitimate corporate uses for a warbird. USA Today hasn't exactly been even handed when they cover general aviation. Yep, WARbirds really support the image of "Christian" ministries. I expect Jesus would fly one if he were around. I expect he'd have used an Apache gunship to arrive for the Sermon on the Mount, too.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

FallingOsh 0 #28 April 12, 2010 QuoteOnce again, right wing conservative morons step up to the plate to defend that which is indefensible. Using the tax code in your favor is indefensible? When you fill out your taxes, do you look for any deductions or plan the best way to file? If not, then I would suggest you reserve the term moron. QuoteThe scumbags abuse the tax code so that they can NOT pay their fair share of taxes and that is totally fine with you. 1st, if they are breaking the law then they should be stopped. Just because they're using the tax code to maximize deductions does not mean they're abusing it. 2nd, what exactly do you consider they're "fair share." That's a pretty fucking stupid term when half the country doesn't pay anything, let alone their "fair share." QuoteWhat the fuck is wrong with you people? I thought that a key principle of RWC was fiscal responsibility. Just goes to show what hypocrites y'all are. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. QuoteThere is NO WAY a T-28 Trojan should be tax exempt. That is a TOY. A really BIG toy, but a toy. It can't be used for anything practical that would "further the ministry". Well, fuck them... right? I guess we'll just base the tax system on what funjumper101 thinks is a fair share and what funjumper101 thinks should be a tax exemption. Just because you disagree does not mean they are breaking the law. Just because the hundreds of billions they pay in taxes every year isn't what you consider a "fair share" doesn't mean they're scumbags. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

fasted3 0 #35 April 13, 2010 Quote If by "abuse" you mean that you do everything allowable by the tax code(tax laws) to reduce your taxes, then yes, they are scumbags. The people on the left that do the same thing must not be scumbags though. Your hypocrisy is showing. What a bunch of bullshit. I don't care what party the rich belong to, because none of them have the same playing field the majority have to play on. They get their hired hands in Washington to write the tax laws to their advantage, they purchase special tax havens that cost millions to aquire, and many, if not most of them, don't pay nearly enough. They deduct their toys; every meal and vacation is written off as a business expense, and their accountants work full time to try and get them to pay nothing at all. It does seem that the Republicans are their lap dogs, but both sides do it.But what do I know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
