This tax change would be huge
I think it will be a bruising battle in congress to get these changes passed.
what's your sense -- a good idea or a not good idea?
my concern is that corporations can easily pass this burden on to the consumer.
but i don't know nearly enough about these things to have a solid opinion.
I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I'd like to have a go at it anywaywhat's your sense -- a good idea or a not good idea?

I agreeThis 'pass on the cost' is a myth
I wrote a paper that dealt with this in passing once.
It was more about whether the US method of citizenship-based taxation (which is found nowhere else in the world aside from such bastions of capitalism as Eritrea and North Korea) is still justified in this day and age. But I did do quite a bit of research on enforcement of taxation on overseas income of citizens. Particularly sticky are cases of individuals that no longer reside in the US.
This would be a good thingIt appears to me that he's trying to desparately to wipe out the past 8 years of the previous administration
You mean like starting two back to back wars without end at sight? Oh no, he wouldn't be that stupid. I don't think Bush supporters especially those as vocal as you have any room to talk about thinking things through to the end.and he's not really thinking all of his new policies through to the end.
How exactly does it put agents in danger?For instance, I can't understand why he would release top-secret memos that would ultimately endanger the lives of agents around the world, not to mention revealing interrogation techniques to America's enemies, and yet he won't release the pictures of the Air Force One flyover over Manhattan - an act which was truly a MORONIC thing to do.

It's really a myth that the enemies of the US would need to turn to the memos to learn about torture techniques. There's really nothing they don't already know, or would not learn about if it wasn't for the memos.
And I doubt that the release of these memos puts these agents at any greater risk than they already are.
In a September 2008 broadcast of the popular NPR show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," guest Leonard Nimoy recalled a recent encounter with a fan.
"About a year and a half ago, I was at a political event," Nimoy recalled. "One of our current campaigners for the office of president of the United States saw me--and as he approached, he gave me the Vulcan hand signal."
You can practically hear Nimoy's eyebrow raise. "It was not John McCain."
His manner of speaking isn't so unlike Nimoy's, come to think of it...
The president makes $400,000 a year. Now, according to Kelly O'Donnell, he's been hoarding his money. But now he felt like maybe the economy was coming back enough that he could leave the White House and the $100-a-pound Kobe beef, and go out and get a burger with Plugs Biden at a burger joint? And this is a sign the economy's coming back? This makes me want to puke. This makes me want to throw up.
(They went to a burger joint where burgers go for 7 bucks, for those who like truthiness)
Is it only in Germany where McDonald's puts mustard on the hamburgers? Or is the dijon mustard (jammy) the issue?
