I like the idea. I would do the taxing in the reverse order though. You get more out of your local and state taxes than you do from the feds. They are the first to give it away - often to other countries completely. This country was designed to really function as many separate states in the context similar to a unity of small nations. The fed is only supposed to take care of things that the states can't handle on there own like defense. Still great idea.
I definitely agree with you there, the fed first was just an example.
it just pisses me off that they all tax you on the same amount of income as if you get to keep what they don't take.
There are many caveats to this of course, but I once thought up an idea of a tax checklist. You check off the services you require from the gov and you are taxed appropriately. There is a base tax, of course. Honestly, if I could completely opt out of social security, I would probably at least consider it.

I would absolutely opt out of SSI. That's become nothing more than gov't extortion of the work force. I won't see a red cent of that when I retire. Most of the people who are collecting it know are receiving far less than they paid into it - especially if you adjust for inflation. It's such a frivolous waste. That money could be better invested and used to lower the national debt instead of increase it.
I pay for short term disability insurance... should i get farked up somehow that pays me something like 60-70 percent of my salary each month until long term disability kicks in.
I pay 10 bucks a paycheck for that. How much do I pay for Social Security?

Ahh, it's thursday. It's almost the weekend.
YAY!
I have to go shop for my little brother's birthday present now...I'm thinking it's going to be something Grateful Dead-related. We'll see though. My parents want me to buy him a polo...bleh.
^^ooof. I feel for you - MRIs are no fun. I used to have a brain tumor and they'd have to give me an MRI every year or so to make sure it wasn't malignant.
^^that's so cool! The people in charge of housing always seem to stick me with kids from far away places - I've had roomies from South Korea, Bangladesh, Puerto Rico, California, Texas... all over the place, really.

Zoie I hope all goes well with your knee. I have tendinitis of the rotator cuff, and it sucks. It makes my back come easily unaligned. I have been seeing a chirpractor and taking physical therapy for a while now. Good luck, and dont worry about the MRI, iunless you are terribly claustrophobic. Its wierd but not horrible. Back to my random thoughts. I went to the Propagandhi show in Turku Finland last night and it was insane. It was sold out when i got there, but since I am from Texas and demanded to see the show, they let me in for free. It was crazy packed and absolutely hardcore awesome. Finland is absolutely awesome.
I went to the knee doctor today. I have an MRI appt next week. They think my cartilage is torn. Ick. Atleast I'm getting all this over with now
That sucks. I hurt my back on Wed. this week. I may have a ruptured disc I had to get an MRI done yesterday for the first time ever in my life. It was a weird experience. You have to lay perfectly still for about 10 mins. while they bombard you with various strange and loud buzzing noises. I should be finding out the results today.

I met with my dad and sisters last night to talk about estate settlement. My sisters were sad that we do not stay in touch all the time and get together frequently. But as kids, we did not play together, or really hang out. Then the parental units got a divorce when two of us year in college and two in high school. Kind of messed up a few years.
Is it wrong to not want to hang out with family all the time. I have my own family and find time precious. We do get together about once every two month's for birthdays/holidays etc....
Two of my sisters lived 5 block apart, but seldom got together. I moved 13 years ago 100+ miles away from family. It is close enough to make the drive for an evening, but far enough that you just do not drop in to say hello.
Good morning - supposed to be 103 here today - I hate having to wear decent clothing to work when it is this hot. I want to were shorts, sandals, and a light short sleeve shirt. Better not, the boss might not approve.
^^^I don't think it is necessarily wrong - I have not seen one of my brothers in over 5 years and the other in about 3 years - one lives in Arizona and the other in Maryland and I am in the South so trips are expensive

It should be a crime...not fun to wear a tie in 110, I feel your pain!

My best friend called early this morning and left a message and told me she had big news, and I immediately knew what it was gonna be... she's pregnant! She's married, and he just got back from Iraq a few months ago and even though they werent actually trying, they werent NOT trying. I'm a little weirded out (being a mom does not scare me at all, the physically being pregnant and giving birth terrifies me like you wouldnt believe) but I'm really excited and happy for her. But, is it really terrible that after I got off the phone I thought, well damn, now we can't get wasted together for a while. Has anyone else ever done that?
