Hey! It's 06/05/04 today, at least in typical American notation... What say we all wait until exactly 3:21:00 and all simultaneously shout "blastoff!" Oh well, maybe not... especially since that would have been more appropriate at 3:21 a.m. Well, appropriate is probably the wrong word to use there either... Hmmm, nevermind.

Again, I was able to do all this without personal attacks so this conversation is over. Feel free to attack me more, though...

Please read my post again, I said this was not a personal attack and said I did not truly think that. It is a way of pointing out how you are behaving in a silly manner to change the argument. Or in other words, attacking the way in which I stated it in order to avoid the actual message. I thought I made it clear I was not trying to attack your personally nor did I actually believe that, I apologize if I did not emphasis that part enough (though it was clearly there).

Also, I am talking about a tax that is levied on people, not an individual's rights - those are two different things.

No it is not, your taxes are what pays for your individual rights.

Again, you have yet to tell me why someone should have to pay more for

Equal representation in the government
- Equal legal rights and privileges
  - Equal access to government funded help programs incase something bad does happen
    - Equal (theoretical) police protection
      - Why I should have to pay more for water, garbage collection, etc.
      These are all rights and privileges that we have, that our taxes pay for.
      Why, because I work hard in college and graduate and make just 2x time as much as you, due to a flat tax it cost me 2X the amount of you as the same rights and privileges? Am I not still a single person deserving the same basic rights and privileges as you? Because I make more money, even if it is 1/5th more money then you, I am now somehow less of an individual, I now count less so I have to pay more for the same rights and privileges?

      I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.
