    Dear hubber,

    I've posted to forum on many occassions, trying to gain knowledge of people, their belief systems and how they view life.

    Feel free to ask or talk about anything. How ever, please maintain a level of respect for those who you do not know, either personally or formally.

    Meaning, if you are new around the forums, pay some respect to those who have been here long than you. If you are a youngster, please keep your voice down, that includes your tone.

    The older adults do not want nor do we need your adolesent behavior or childish rants. If you are here to discuss LIFE and it's nuances and other things, then jump in.

    If you can not rationally think out the subject you bring up and cannot provide proof of what you say- then DO NOT say it.

    Otherwise, listen - learn - absorb - understand.

    With that said- Let's begin.

    Yeah, I know.

    But, what can I say, I want more knowledge about people and the only way to get it- is to ask people to talk to me. The forum under this heading we can talk about anything, without actually getting off topic.

    Most forums you have to stick to the topic, which means there is very little leeway to move off in a different direction even if that direction is worth talking about.

    Instead of watching one forum deteriorate into three or four different threads, we can watch this one to see if three or four different threads blend into one single topic...

    lol

    What's up. I called in fake-sick to work today but didn't do a thing with the project I'm working on. I'll probably get inspired around 11 PM then be up all night with it anyway. Shoulda just went to work i guess! HA

    Well, I can see you at least haven't lost your real-sense of humor.

    Maybe, when we are done. You will be inspired to work on your project. Who is to know? Inspiration comes like lightning and usually when it does hit...it catches you off guard.

    lol

    But, I look forward to an interesting conversation. big_smile

    Rick,

    How well versed are you in disciple scriptures. Just the ones that talk about things he 'said'.

    Most are conveyed in a specific manner and I'm looking for someone who has a little bit of knowledge, so I can fill in holes to unanswered questions.

    I don't want to tell you the questions, but I would rather you simply tell me what you know? I know that sounds difficult, because you have amassed years of experience, but I'm more interested in material written words from Jesus' time.

    I hope that came across properly.

    They keep trying, but haven't managed to iron out Fair Taxes ever, for anyone, all the way back to the beginning, and I doubt they ever will.

    It's something we live with.

    I will end this conversation simply. There is NO such thing as a fair tax.

    Taxation is a source of government control, through spin.

    It's capitalism.
    I don't fault anybody for getting the most they can.
    If their unbelievable salaries are coming at the expense of profit, capitalism should correct for that.
    If most of us weren't hurting so bad, we maybe wouldn't even notice this. These salaries have not necessarily increased since the recession started, we just weren't paying attention before.

    Having said all that, the exposure they are receiving for earning unjustified salaries while their corps are losing profit and employees could mean the correction is coming.
    Water finds it's level.

    To add-

    Sooner or later, the salaries are going to become a problem for bottomline profit and gross margins are always the first thing to be hit. If a company has to continue to increase it's margins year over year, because of salaries, then the business model is broken.
