Close, but not quite... He tests for AHTW, and IIRC, for FoW too...

Oh. My. God.

Kazan just got his @$$ handed to him by a newbie named Aphomojb who's first 3 posts will become the stuff of legend.

Here is what his crappy comeback was.
first A) just because you don't get a "good result" on google doesn't mean the term is invalid - try googling for a lot of things and you're going to get corrupted results
let me first debunk his "Quackery" bullshit - because first i dubbed a term for conversation, to make it easy to refer to "Dollars adjusted for the Law of Diminishing Utility"*
*i have been using "The Law of Diminishing Return" a little loosely, on income you are specifically dealing with the "The Law of Diminishing Utility"
Hah, thats laughable.

Heh, here comes the bold red text again ;)

That really irks me when people do that, Vertigo has a touch of DSmartness about him in that respect as well....

Does that guy never figure out that the moment he loses his temper, he loses?

He makes more of a fool of himself by stating his opinions in red than by simply shutting his mouth and not posting any more...

I'm glad I'm no good at economics, personally I'm in favour of a 'one tax fits all' system, where you pay one sum in PAYE and that's it.


Oh, and longest SG thread evar?!?!

Had to look that one up... Pay As You Earn. :p

I'd prefer a sales tax to an income tax, because it encourages savings, among other things. But I'll take what I can get, and a single income tax is fine with me. Anything to get rid of the hulking monstrosity that is the IRS. :p

Even after the Cobra posts were split off.

Man, we need to give that Alpha guy a pat on the back. The only other person I've know to kick Kazan's butt is Raa.

Why not income+sales, for example? And soforth. To be honest, I have no idea what Kazans' math is all about anyways.

We already have an income and sales tax.

I'd prefer the sales tax only option too. I hate this sales tax BS. (I know that Europeans pay more income tax than americans, but I'm american. I want to be vocal about it :p)

Europeans get more though, IIRC. National health service springs to mind (especially in France)

Yeah, we don't have anything like that. And the moment someone proposes it, they'll be labelled a socialist, and smitten. :doubt: A shame, really, since we really need a health care system... :(
