I know they don't get much funding from the taxpayers, but we should eliminate that too if they are this freaking stupid. I have changed oil on a 1970 cutlass and a 2010 BMW, the only difference is the location of the oil filter. Its actual much easier now.

The tax incentives are especially sweet with Alpacas for some reason. You can deduct up to $250,000 in the first year. $650,000 over the next few years. This doesn't do anything for you and me, but if I got a million dollars in taxes I don't want to pay, I can just pick up some alpacas and spend that money on barns…

A clutch pedal.

Do you take deductions on your tax return? Its no different. It is absolutely not immoral to pay the least amount of taxes you can by following the tax code to the letter. I don't make the laws, but I do follow them. So one could easily argue that someone who follows the law is moral, can we not? I pay my taxes,…

I call bullshit on the Minivan. There is nothing you can't do with a nice wagon that you can do with a minivan. People buy minivans because they are fat and lazy and are too fat to be able to stand up out of a car.

Sadly, I agree with you. A flat tax and a simple tax code takes away the power of congress to generate bribes Campaign contributions.

Tax evasion is illegal, and essentially not paying your taxes. You can go to prison for tax evasion. I don't think that's relevant to this discussion. What is relevant is Tax Avoidance. Tax avoidance is perfectly legal, and its using the tax code creatively to legally pay as little taxes as possible. You are…

Rich people spend more, so they will still be paying more taxes. The more socialist you make the tax code the harder rich people will work to get around it. Its not FAIR, at least to them. Regardless, while I understand where you are coming from, the whole concept that you pay progressively more taxes the more you…

The higher the rates, the more incentives they have to bribe politicians to put in more loopholes. You realize that raising the rates will just make the middle class pay more. The rich will never have to pay more until we eliminate the IRS and the most complex tax code on the planet that is filled with loopholes for…

ALL PEOPLE WILL AVOID TAXES AT ALL COSTS. Duh. No one pays extra taxes patriotically. That's just human nature.

We keep harping on how the tax rates have changed or gone down or whatever, but when the incentives and loopholes are taken into consideration, the actual effective rates haven't changed all that much. Those tax rates don't mean much when they have all those loopholes to dive through. Simplify the code to one page,…

Before everyone starts complaining about companies not paying US taxes, keep in mind that they are breaking absolutely no laws of any kind. The reality is that our tax system is the most complex and convoluted tax system in the world and just happens to be one of the highest rates in the world. The reason is very…

Its just not the same.

The roof extension is NLA so it was salvaged from an actual M3. If you read the actual thread you will see what a nightmare it is to actually find that piece. He was trying to get a fiberglass replica from Europe but that fell through so he ended up buying a Totaled M3 to get the actual pieces.

* for less money than buying an actual M3. And you got that roof panel from a real one.

How is that a scare tactic?

You can't really clone these cars. They have a bespoke rear window/trunk lid that is NLA. (You can't make a 325 look like a M3.) So they are rare and they still look good and drive better. There is only one BMW that has a more dedicated following. Just wait!

I hate tipping, and not because I don't want to give a variable but assumed amount of money to my waitstaff irregardless of quality of service. I do plenty of math at work, the last thing I want to do is figure out how much to tip at the end of a meal especially when I have been drinking. That's just an asshole…

Fully Mechanical Automated Restaurants! Coming soon to a McDonalds near you!

Isn't the whole legal concept of Marriage antiquated and outdated in this modern age anyway? People should just avoid the whole marriage mess and just be happy together until they aren't.
