It'll show up that way on every single post, everywhere, retroactively. New NB has some interesting quirks...

This would destroy the poor; the only thing they'd be able to purchase would be food. It's nice to be able to buy clothes for your kids and the occasional birthday card too, for goodness sake.

The proposal is called the

Submitted by Satchmo on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 6:37pm.

The proposal is called the FairTax. It was written by Congressman John Linder; the book was written by John Linder and Neal Boortz. The bill never made it out of committee (Rangel was the head at the time).

What you are describing is not the FairTax. The FairTax is not a regressive tax. This is one lie perpetuated by opponents of the FairTax, mainly K Street lobbyists and demagogues. There are embedded taxes in everything we buy. All down the chain, taxes are passed along until it reaches the final consumer. The embedded taxes in any good equals roughly 23%. The FairTax would replace these embedded taxes with a 23% consumption tax. This is an inclusive tax. That is, it is NOT added on to the total. If you purchase something for $100, it does not cost $123. You will get a receipt showing your purchase of $100 with a breakdown of $77 going to the retailer, and $23 going to the federal government.

You are correct that there would still be local sales taxes on them. The FairTax is a replacement for the federal income tax. I would encourage you, and everyone, to read about and learn about the FairTax.

You're not so good at reading. It is not rational for a woman to be sexually attracted to her father. It is rational to believe that it could happen, however.

Such anger. The namecalling. I will never make the mistake of assuming you are capable of being mature.

Familial incest*

Submitted by cajun2 on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 5:33pm.

It is called Familial Incest. The parent/perpetrator has a sexual deviancy directed only toward his/her own children. Hence, they are rarely identified as "pedophiles". The significance here is that with Familial Incest, the parent engages in behavior intended to "groom" the child toward  sexual activity as seen as a normal part of parent/child relationships over a period of years. Think of it in terms of "Stockholm Syndrome". The adult child victim has been conditioned to accept this perverted parental relationship from early childhood. These adult child victims suffer tremendous psychological harm when realization of abnormalcy of the relationship occurs. The victims are often dependent, have poor relationships outside the parent/child relationship and often suffer other psychological disorders associated with self/body image.

The incestuous perpetrator is more often diagnosed as "narcissistic personality disorder" as well. This individual has no normal feelings of empathy, compassion for others. Their primary existence is for their own pleasure, fullfillment, comfort. They can be very aggressive and at times violent when they cannot achieve self satisfying gratification they deem important to them. At no time do these individuals ever concern themselves with the consequences nor feelings of others especially toward the victim. They see themselves all "messianic", totally controlling and influencial over this one persons life who is their own child. The issue here, as with all narcissists, is for their own gratification. No concern whatever for the victim.

For some unknown reason to me, familial incest perpetrators are often given much lighter sentences in criminal proceedings compared to perpetrators whose victims are non-related. Often, the explanations given for this discrepency is the same heard from "it doesnt affect me" individuals. As long as the perpetrator stays out of "our" lives, the safety of other children not in question, the perpetrator, espcially when the child victim is over 18, is not considered as great a threat nor having committed a great crime.

Typically of most narcissists, unable to see beyond their own needs, wants, wishes, the trauma suffered by these incest victims is rarely taken into consideration. They tend to believe that the adult/child does not meet criteria for" victim " because the sex was consensual.

We can argue this issue all day long. From historical, cultural viewpoint, psychiatric, even from a criminal justice study of events, we will have varying views IE, the bizzare posts on this thread.

The real issue here is the caution needed to prevent "redefining" the role of parent in our society. Far left liberals already spend a great deal of time and effort "redefining" many other aspects of our society. If a parent becomes the predator and it is allowed or accepted, this will provide even greater disintegration of orderly society. Chaos, perversion, a world without boundaries, is essentially the goal of many of our enemies. It is another tactic in the war games  by liberals to destroy an orderly democratic society. Chaos, lack of rules and boundaries are absolutely required for narcissists to further build a world where they are primary.

Satchmos comments on this thread are not the only examples of this kind of society that is being built slowly by destroying our current society. Look at other groups arguing for DADT repeal,  Gay Marriage, NAMBLA, Dream Act, Sharia Law introduced  into the US, late term abortion cover for Eugenics.

The arguments may cover a plethora of issues but the goals are the same. Destroy rational humane society by eroding the values of our current society in order to meet the needs of those whose sole existence is themselves.
