That you even said that shows that you don't know anything of what you think you know?
A guy on food stamps an "activist" to "fear?" That's funny and pathetic at the same time.

A skiff is a small boat I take to shore....not familiar with the term otherwise.
YW is not the highest level of clearance. The POTUS is not the most important asset in the world.
From Marine grunt to a a presidential Doc, that is one mighty ladder you climbed.

I am going to demand an apology otherwise I will post the coordinates of a facility that load ICBMs on Boomers. Maybe even let the world know when they are loading one up.
I warned you not to underestimate me. I am asking you nicely, no more attacks on my past. It is really upsetting me.

Post it. Right now. At this point if you don't, everybody will see what a fraud you are.
Upsetting you because I have the temerity to suggest you are responsible for your own failures in life? The horror!
I think it is obvious why you are a failure on food stamps, and it isn't the Navy's fault.

Nice try. I know better than to take your bait.
Timing is crucial is these kinds of things. Today is not the time. But I will give a hint, the ol trident basin is one place.

Before and after. I was 23 when I shipped off to boot camp with a squeaky clean record and no substance abuse problems. I was over working full time and going to school half time that I was paying for out of pocket.
Lol. You are so easy....
By timing I meant when a sub was in and possibly when they were loading one up. I know better than to do that on here. I'm pretty sure it is against the ToC.
I love my homeland.
Why must you tell me I have to better myself, do you not think I am not trying. Why are you trying to bait me into divulging classified information?
I will stop collected food stamps when I have this thing called an income.
For some weird reason no one wants to hire me, maybe I have a personality disorder.edit on 10-9-2014 by jrod because: ATS and similar sites have been used as a honey trap for 'potential terrorist' and other bogeymen.

Everybody who lives there can see the sub come in and tie up on that pier and and cover that hatch with that awning, it's not a secret and people actually go out on the cape to watch it because its cool. There is not deep dark secret in that. What's going onus pretty obvious to the casual observer. I've got picture myself somewhere around here, might try to scan them in.
Because you don't know about subs (why would you, you were only an AT washout) you obviously don't realize that the skipper just doesn't say to himself " man, my missles have been for a while--better pop off to the cape for a swap." No, this is planned years in advanced and published in classified in classified OPORDS. You post THAT in advance, you are a secret squirrel. That you have to wait until a SUB comes in, then you don't know anything more than the local schlubs.
You said youself earlier that you refuse to take a job that you feel beneath the qualifications you deserve. You can stop collecting food stamps tomorrow by foing what most MEN--not whiny boys--do in that situation. Work something they don't like cause it pays the bills a d go back to school to learn a job they like. You are holding you back because of some deep sense of entitlement and narcissism.
After our conversation I can see why nobody would hire you and yes you have an obvious personify disorder.
I'm not trying to make you look like a loser-- you are doing a fine job of that yourself. With every complaint, every excuse why you "can't", with every addition to your already long list of issues, you make yourself lipgloss like a loser--apathetic one at that..

What the hell does this have to do with the OP. IF you and Jrod want to duke it out, create your own thread. Contribute to the topic at hand please.

I'm not talking about programming I'm just using it to quantify the terms as that's how I think and you seemed like you could understand the statement. Guess not.

Their skill set is worth nothing, every job with the possible exception of order taker (and only because speech recognition software is error prone) is a zero skill position. They are not paid for skills, they are paid to push a button. Despite that, if the business is offering the position it needs to be enough for the person to live. If the business doesn't offer atleast that much in wages the taxpayers have to make up the difference. That's called a corporate subsidy.

That's one of the points of public transportation. There are others like alleviating traffic congestion but the main point is to ensure people are able to travel for work. It's an investment in the economy.

Maybe you should try looking at things for what they rather than as what you want them to be. As to the point, would you do the work for free? If you're not willing to do the work for free then yes you're deliberately making someones business (and the community as a whole) worse off because you want something.

And no, I wouldn't riot, loot, or protest. You see I actually like doing work that involves my skillset. A couple months back I built a database/populated for a guy, then made him a website, and PoS system. He paid me considerably less than it was worth, we agreed to an amount and signed a contract. In the end he gave me 1/20 the agreed upon amount stating he changed his mind about paying me. At that point I could have refused to hand over the work but what does that accomplish? It makes the local business community worse by not having that service.

My experience is poor for sure. I'm not completely devoid of experience but job opportunities are tough to come across in this area.

And I'm making those, or what should be those. No debt and getting an education. An education doesn't mean a whole lot though when there's no where to work, and it's real easy to see the choice as a poor one when you're rationing out ramen packets to last for a months worth of meals.

I'm not the one that needs to look into those terms. Slavery is more than just the physical ownership of a human.

Well, he wanted an education. Then found out that he doesn't have the right personality for college. A literal lifetime of debt repayments is way too much for a year of tuition.

Buying votes from who? The majority of states that are net recipients of tax dollars are red states. Last I checked those aren't the people making these programs.

No need in the present doesn't mean no need in the future, and some things are very difficult to monetize. For example a drug that treats an illness with 20 cases annually.

Because 15% is too low, we've seen from the Laffer Curve historically that 70% is too high and that 35% is too low, Reagan showed both of those quite successfully. I would split the difference at 52% and determine from there, essentially using a binary search every 2 years in order to find the appropriate rate.

That's if I were going to use an income tax. My preferred method would be to eliminate the income tax entirely and put a 1% tax on all Wall Street transactions followed by a good deal of protectionism (companies must be on our exchanges to sell here if public) to keep businesses from leaving our stock exchanges. The estimates I've read have said this would generate $16 trillion in revenue annually, so in theory that tax rate could even be reduced a good bit while still funding the government.
