First off...Happy F'in Birthday
I liked Pat Buchanan's response to Buffet.
With the national debt > 100% of GDP, no matter how much you tax anyone (or everyone, for that matter), without MASSIVE spending cuts the government goes bankrupt.
The class warfare spin by Buffet is more mindless pap which will just ensure things get worse if it is implemented, and I am guessing it will be to some extent.
A financial wizard Buffet may be, but about economics he apparently understands squat.
I will agree, though, that the tax code needs to be addressed. It should be adjusted to 0% on wages for all (including elimination of negative rates for non-payers), as it was before the 16th Amendment was passed...U.S. survived fine for over 100 years to that point with not nearly the debt-to-GDP ratio. Proof enough, it's not the income that's the problem.

Saw Nugent play this past weekend. There's something about his intensive riffing that is beyond compare. Incredible energy in his music. The melody behind the vocals (and the words) may be a bit humdrum and typical, but the guitar playing was some of the best insofar as rock is concerned.

methinks riots in the US would have a greater chance of coming to an abrupt halt than in the UK and elsewhere; possibly even before the police arrive...location, location, location ;?)

Not poking fun about the riots at all.
My references are often arcane to those who knew me not.
My point was simply this. We in the US have not (yet) been completely neutered when it comes to self defense and, if such rioting were to occur here as Two Shay suggested it might, there might be a very swift and very different outcome for some with the indecency to participate.
And yes, for thse unsure, some yob running at your flat with a petrol bomb cocked and ready is a self defense situation in most locations in the US.

Daz - I certainly was NOT poking fun at the riots, have another look at my post and try to see the context (what needs doing is the cuts). Furthermore Cuth also strikes me as someone who would not poke fun at such behaviour. The way I read his post is that the cops would have been battering the rioters far quicker than our somewhat reserved riot trained police.
Edit - Shit, you beat me to it Htuc.

I want to build my own electric guitar from scratch. How much would that cost? I think that would be pretty sweet, cut out the body, design the head. Its gonna be sweet. But it probably will take several years to finish it.
I've recently been sucked into the Dubstep trend.
So far I like Chrispy and Skrillex
More Skrillex gets good around 1:20
and guess what
Even more Skrillex the first minute sucks but the drop at 1 minute is killer!

Re: STARBUCKS CEO
While I understand the sentiment and realize that, if he gets buy in, this will push the dolts to act, I don't see much impact coming from it.
(BTW: WTF is "fair and bipartisan"? Show me 20 people and I'll show you 35 definitions for "fair & bipartisan" depending on context)
It would be far better if everyone refused to send in their taxes until a balanced budget Amendment is passed. What we need to do is throw these drunken sailors in the brig; unfortunately, they hold all the keys and the guns; hard to hide the purse when your life is on the line.
Remember kids: government is mafia writ large. Outside of scope, the only difference is the perception of legitimacy.

Hey, JS Black Dog... yup... Rama. Same venue where I saw Joe. I like that place... it's only about 3 hours away, maybe a bit less, and tickets usually are half of what they would be in a larger city.
