The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

but why?

why is there a minimum?

why is there a maximum?

BECAUSE OF THE F'EN INCOME TAX CODE, FEDERAL RESERVE, INTERNATIONAL TRADE SANCTIONS/TAXES ETC ETC....

no matter what whether min/max you're a cog


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Quoted from Box A Rox


NOTHING is free...

"At 60.2%, Denmark last year had the highest top personal income tax rate among the 34 countries in the OECD, an organization of developed and emerging countries. And that 60.2% applied to income over roughly $55,000."

According to your link Denmark's top tax rate is 46% while the USA is 44%...
for that 2% they get free education and health care.  Sounds like a deal to me.

You shouldn't Cicero.
  With 89% of their population who vote, you'd be even more of a pariah than you are in the USA.

If you read further, you'd see this:
"At 25%, it imposes one of the highest national sales taxes in the European Union and the OECD"

Again, the idea of "free" is bogus..you pay for it just like anything else.

Isn't that what campaign promises and elections are?  Let me guess...You cast a vote not out of your own interests, but the interests of everybody else.  

The act of voting is an exercise of WIIFM.  Try to run a campaign suggesting privatizing Social Security...Boomers will go crazy with the mere suggestion of messing with their welfare.
