Did you know that the "Average" American spends
27 hours filling out their tax forms?
Did you know that 55% of Americans want a flat
tax, one that taxes the rich at the exact same rate
as the poor & middle class?
That's what NBC's Brooke Hart reported this
morning, doing her part to molest the truth in
honor of our new god, George Bush.
* If any non-Americans are out there, maybe I
* should take this moment to assure you that
* the average American spends no where near
* 27 hours filling out tax forms. I personally
* completed a friend's state & federal forms
* in less than an hour.
I Tivoed the "report". Heck, I burned it onto DvD.
Brooke, a certified media ***** & puppet of
the administration, first spilled this *****
than presented us with our Lord & Savior,
George Bush, whom (now in his second term,
according to her) wants to "Simplify" things for
us little people he cares so much about, give us
that flat-tax rate we've all been screaming for.
Ironically, Brooke's "Michael Jackson imitation"
on the truth followed another story on Bush's
bankruptcy reform. Corporations are still safe to
create dummy companies & then declare bankruptcy
after taking your cash, but individuals -- you know,
"The little guy" -- are officially screwed.
According to the reporters own words, the new
bill uses your income level to determine if you
will be forced pay, or if all your assets will be
liquidated.
Ah, "Compassion."
Anyhow, I've got the broadcast on Tivo and I
even burned it onto DvD. What I've got to see
(and this is something I've never bothered to
look into before) is if I can transfer it all to
this old computer, and make it available to
other people.

I think you will find that you have mis-understood the full
implication of "average", when applied to intelligence.
Consider.
You are a member of a minority group. You are an atheist.
Surveys have shown that your are probably of "above average"
intelligence.
How much, "above average", is not a good subject for discussion,
among friends. (:-)
You make up, app, 15% of the total population.
That leaves 85% of the population as theists.
Now, many of the fundies that we get here, tell us that they are the
norm, for Americans.
Having talked to/at, some of them, I find it difficult to believe
that they could fill out a tax form, so quickly.
We can only conclude that the average time is so low, because the
times recorded for the other 15%, YOUR 15%, has made the rest of the
population, look a lot smarter than they really are.
Now do you see?
Using "average", makes 85% of the population, look a damn sight
smarter than they really are. (:-D
That and the advent of "Turbo Tax" and "Tax Cut" type programs. :c)
Jobs for the (good old?) boys.
