I claim your talking horse shit and the only reason you are bothering to spout it is because your greedy, you want more than you have. If you weren't, you'd see the potential benefit of a tax system which helps those who need it. 

There's this thing called charity and trust funds you know Tongue an invention by evil capitalists

Yeah and I can see that there doing a fantastic job at stopping world poverty. They work really well huh, people are just so charitable...........  Roll Eyes

One could argue the exact same thing with taxes.

I've got to give Nick Clegg credit though if that's who you meant, the tax break for £10,000 earners was a great idea, the poor should never be taxed heavily if at all, they probably had to fight the neo-conservatives tooth and nail to get it passed.

If you're going to tax, *everyone* should be taxed. We can argue the amounts and flat vs sliding rate but everyone should have some skin in the game.

Do you know how much the poor and particularly the middle class get screwed over by governments throughout history? You should go and research it.

lol the only problem with George Galloway is he's an utter pillock but at I suppose the reason it's easy to see is because he's honest about it, I was in such a good mood when I saw how despaired Labour looked about their loss in Bradford Cheesy I'm bad Tongue

If people provided products honestly in return for bitcoin then more people would be encouraged to spend, I have yet to see anything in the bitcoin economy that makes me go zomgwtf I must have it, so far as a relative outsider to bitcoin I have only seen makeshift marketplaces with barely anything in them, blatantly pirated software and games for sale and ponzi schemes. All of which aren't a very encouraging thing for me and wouldn't convince me to part with my money.

lol sorry about that, I tend to go full on logic spam if I see a hint of an opinion that's mathematically wrong Tongue

This is why though I feel if there must be taxes then they should be very low and of course a flat tax so there aren't loopholes, that way the government can't sneak the money to stupid ideas without people noticing and focus on helping people, I actually don't believe in our conventional Democracies at all, I'm a much bigger fan of the Switzerland style direct democracy because then citizens can overrule laws politicians make, it's my view if we had direct democracy, then the bailouts and the war in Iraq may well have never happened because tons of people would vote against it.

What's wrong with forcing human kindness? Unfortunately it would seem its needed.

The point is that if you force human kindness then it is no longer kindness, now I'm absolutely rubbish at math, but I happen to know that a huge amount of taxes doesn't go towards helping people, but military spending and shady deals involving buying up worthless government bonds from people who can't pay them back and also in the long run does absolutely nothing but make the situation for them worse because it won't allow the economy to correct itself however that's a different subject entirely.

Charities use the same kind of underhanded logic when they try to justify going around and hassling people in supermarkets etc. ( happens a lot in the UK but they seemed to have stopped it where I am which I'm very grateful for ) but I constantly see them still going around asking for money after several years and I really do mean several because I remember them asking the same thing when I was young and a lot of people in the UK at least are beginning to agree this is more like extortion and emotional blackmail.

I was just having a look at the Chinese tax system as well and it's another example of this kind of hypocrisy, why is it that when politicians and tax advocates claim that taxes are there to help people they go ahead and tax the poor? What benefit do they get from it? The worst part is how people like you butcher the middle class and always try to find away to take all their money compared to spreading the taxation evenly so the rich have to pay a real share as well.

If you're going to be a tax advocate, then show some balls and tax the people who can afford to pay it.

Didn't see this one coming. Hopefully Disney doesn't screw it up.

Can't do worse than Lucas.

Imagine Star Wars as a musical, then tell me if you think they can again.

He could have insomnia you know, I remember when I played World of Warcraft ( So sue me I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Sad ) there was a woman I knew who had it and she was almost on 23/7 like a horse lol she had nothing better to do.

Why not try crowdfunding? A lot of developers etc. are going for that now instead of dealing with publishers or investors, if it's a good idea you should get attention anyway.

What's sleep?

I just woke up today at 12:30pm from doing an overnight drawing session and yet I still haven't finished my work! >_< I really hate sleeping.

Good point I'm used to forums without ignore functions lol, I think it would be a great idea, but as people have already said, just build up the infrastructure for it etc. and they'll come and have a look.

What would be a good idea is making bitcoin a lot more user friendly, right now whenever I look at the stuff it feels like programmers have written the tutorial and that to me always means that you have to have a dictionary on hand to understand what the hell they're on about or take forever finding an option you didn't know existed.

The message you got is very well put and I swear it's not just because it's something I entirely agree with, Bitcoin is a real threat, not just to the old financial institutions like the federal reserve, but to entire empires, the worst thing for these guys is that it is also being adapted to a relatively new technology that they barely understand.

Not much else to be said here really, when it comes to situations where violence may occur though, my nerdy self always looks to the space marines at the best guidance.
