Neither of them have any real meat on them.

Yeah, and I think that the McRib was a bad idea as well. But the flat tax would be a huge give-away to the upper classes who have benefited mightily from the current tax policies.

The McRib is MUCH better.

No, they’re both nasty.

Explains why FoxNews was so excited about the McRib on the very day that a global warming “skeptic” announced that AGW is in fact real.

^Amazing, chemistry, physics, oceanography, zoology, botany, all those silly “scientists” who just don’t understand what makes the world go around, McRibs and Jesus.

He’d probably have a better chance of talking his wife into swinging.

Comix, Dr. Muller was paid by the Koch brothers, and you can bet they didn’t pay him to change his mind and announce the global warming is real.

The system we have now isn’t working either…

Exactly HOW is it a terrible idea. How do you propose fixing our horrible current tax system that disproportionately taxes one group for the benefit of another? What evidence do you use to show how the flat tax, one that will eliminate $30 Billion yearly of conformity and operational expenses from the IRS and compliance, is a bad and unfair idea?

@Motive: and a little later this appears in the UK news:

LOL, you know I agree that humans can not live and not have an effect on their environment. I agree that humans need to focus on development of an energy source that is not based on fossil fuels. But you do not cut off your nose to spite your face.

“I run the paper for the purpose of making propaganda and with no other motive”.
Lord Beaverbrook, former owner of the Express newspapers, linked to by Bruce.
Indeed, if you search for the name “Richard Muller” on their website, the only article about him is the one Bruce calls to our attention. They did not report on Muller’s initial announcement that global warming is real! Guess on which other news organization’s website you get the same result…yeah, you know it: Fox. They show no mention of Richard Muller’s announcement, only this follow-up from a single disgruntled colleague.
With the exception of the 2001 general election, when it backed the Labour Party, the newspaper has declared its support for the Conservative Party at every general election since World War II.

They sound just like Fox News.

@Tony 2816: Hey thanks for the information. I just was saying that there are people saying just the opposite on every issue you can bring up. Fair and balanced…. you decide….. LOL.

One article dealing with the Cain iteration, with links to others.
Don’t let the NYT source scazre you off. The critique is written by a Reagan advisor.

@charliekane
So? Laffer was a Reagan adviser also, and he loves the plan. I love when libs point to conservatives when they agree with them, but ignore them when they don’t.
