G27

I dunno the story (nor am I asking about it here), but I'm betting that's not uncommon.

Oh. Well, that explains it. Does he get to come back or is it like the Aerosmith album?

Wow, that's unimaginably stupid.

Anyone hear from jackdm3 lately? He's normally here all the time...

A little research goes a long way. Indiana Senate bill 304 was introduced on January 12th, 2010 and the Indiana Senate has already adjourned for this year. Indiana General Assembly: FAQs

Truly sorry to hear, Dolomite.

Congrats - glad to hear it!

Paper Tongues upcoming single and listening through the final mixes of the new Sick Puppies EP I'll be cutting midweek.

+1.

Interesting, shows the difference in where people are from, I suppose. We were downtown the whole time, but basically the entire day Sat I was completely unarmed (not even a pocket knife as nothing - NOTHING - is allowed in the Arch) and even though I saw a ton of homeless folks, I never once felt uneasy about being unarmed. Maybe because it was the weekend, maybe because of the places I've lived in my lifetime, but St Louis just felt like any other decent-sized city I've ever lived in or visited. I def feel less safe in downtown Memphdishu...

City Museum - BIG time win. Thank you for the tip. Spent the day there yesterday with my oldest, it's unbelievable. Truly an amazing place for kids (and adults, frankly). Did the 10 story slide a couple of times (along with the rest of them) and the roof top access is incredible. Highly recommended - I'll be taking the whole family to St Louis in the near future just to visit CM.

You fail at math. A 16% increase in billionaires in the US would equal 59 new billionaires. A 16% increase in millionaires in the US would equal 1.25 million new millionaires. As for your assertion that 'someone making $100k/year is supposed to be able to become a millionaire', I'd suggest two things: 1] you've pulled that idea, like most everything else you've posted here, from your anus, and 2] there are very few people who can increase their net worth to 10x their annual gross income at any level of income - this has always been true, though ti does become easier with greater disposable income. All that said, I know of several folks who are millionaires who make less than $100k annually - they do it through living frugally. Most people in this country don't have the self discipline (or the desire) to build their net worth to >$1m - they are satisfied if they can have what they want right now. One last time, if you wish to continue this discussion, you're going to have to post something other than your inaccurate assumptions as if they are somehow accepted as fact. Show some actual data, some real numbers, or you can continue talking to yourself. You'll never hear me argue that taxation in the US in unfair - progressive taxation is modern slavery, in my opinion. But the tax rates among middle class and higher income levels is nowhere near as high as it's been in the past, which means we have just as many opportunities to earn higher income now as ever before with regards to taxation.

No, YOU are the one suggesting someone making $100k annually can become a millionaire, not I. I was simply using your definition to prove your 'literal' suggestions as false. The number of millionaires in the US rose by 16% last year alone - that's an astonishing number especially in this economic climate, yet you're suggesting the 'greedy billionaires' are hoarding all the cash so regular folks can't make more and more? Ludicrous and false. Unless you can provide some data this discussion is over.

According to the IRS, nearly 20% of US households earn >$100k annually, representing nearly 61 million people. We also know that more than 15 million people make over $250k annually. IOW, unless you can show data to back up your assertions, they appear to be completely false. If some 20% of the population falls under your definition of a potential millionaire, it would appear the US offers a broad path to wealth.

"Incorrect data - I has it." The number of US millionaires actually increased by 16% in 2009 to some 7.8 million - some 2.5% of the population. The number of US billionaires is around 370, which equates to approximately 0.00012% of the population.

And can hit a target @ 230 yards with his G27!

It would take cuts all over. The government should be no different than any other entity on earth - spend no more than you 'make'. But yah, Medicare and SS need to be on the chopping block, without question.

Wow, that's awesome. GREAT ad.

Man, really sorry to hear, Jamie.

I jump in it.

Maybe because you can legally own one @ 18? "lol"

This.
