• Question:-What is the frequency hopping-spread system of actress Hedy Lamarr?
  
  
  Answer:-George Antheil met Hedy Lamar in the summer of 1940, when they were neighbors in Hollywood. They began talking about radio control for torpedoes. The idea itself was not new, but her concept of "frequency hopping" was. Lamarr brought up the idea of radio control. She conceived the idea of hopping from frequency to frequency just like a pianist can play the same notes, but in different octaves.
  
  Antheil's contribution was to suggest the device by which synchronization could be achieved. He proposed that rapid changes in radio frequencies could be coordinated the way he had coordinated the sixteen synchronized player pianos in his Ballet Méanique. The analogy was complete in his mind: By the time the two applied for a patent on a "Secret Communication System," on June 10, 1941, the invention used slotted paper rolls similar to player-piano rolls to synchronize the frequency changes in transmitter and receiver, and it even called for exactly eighty-eight frequencies, the number of keys on a piano. This early version of frequency hopping used a piano-roll to change between 88 frequencies, and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or to jam.

  Frequency hopping is one of two basic modulation techniques used in spread spectrum signal transmission. It is the repeated switching of frequencies during radio transmission, often to minimize the effectiveness of "electronic warfare" - that is, the unauthorized interception or jamming of telecommunications. It also is known as frequency- hopping code division multiple access (FH-CDMA).
  http://philosophyofscienceportal.blogspot.com/2009/05/heddy-lamarr-fritz-mandalfrequency.html
  
  Lamarr and Antheil worked on the idea for several months and then, in December 1940, and, with the help of an electrical engineering professor from the California Institute of Technology, they ironed out its bugs, and the patent was granted on August 11, 1942. It specified that a high-altitude observiation plane could steer the torpedo from above.
  
  Despite Antheil's lobbying, the Navy turned its back on the invention, concluding that the mechanism would have been too bulky to fit into a torpedo. Antheil disagreed; he insisted that it could be made small enough to squeeze into a watch. In the United States Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil, shunned by the Navy, no longer pursued their invention. But in 1957, the concept was taken up by engineers at the Sylvania Electronic Systems Division, in Buffalo, New York. Their arrangement, using, of course, electronics rather than piano rolls, ultimately became a basic tool for secure military communications. It was installed on ships sent to blockade Cuba in 1962, about three years after the Lamarr-Antheil patent had expired. Subsequent patents in frequency changing, which are generally unrelated to torpedo control, have referred to the Lamarr-Antheil patent as the basis of the field, and the concept lies behind the principal anti-jamming device used today, for example, in the U.S. government's Milstar defense communication satellite system.
  http://www.inventions.org/culture/female/lamarr.html
  
  Today, spread spectrum devices using micro-chips, make pagers, cellular phones, and, yes, communication on the internet possible. Many units can operate at once using the same frequencies. Most important, spread spectrum is the key element in anti-jamming devices used in the government's 25 billion Milstar system. Milstar controls all the intercontinental missiles in U.S. weapons arsenal. Lamarr was recently (2000, the year she died) given the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Award for their invention. Antheil was also honored; he died in the sixties. Hedy's son accepted the award for her since she no longer makes public appearances. From her Florida apartment where she lived on a pension from the Screen Actor's Guild, Lamarr responded, "It's about time."

• Question:-Did you know this about Hedy Lamarr?
  Turns out Lamarr, along with composer George Antheil, invented a radio-controlled torpedo guidance system in 1941. Together, they patented the system and gave it to the Navy.
  
  Answer:-No, I never knew that and thanks for the information. Wow, I am flabbergasted at her intelligence and talent. Oh, she was so beautiful too.
• Question:-How did Hedy Lamarr die?
  Okay, so i read this book called "What Almost Happened to Hedy Lamarr" by Devra Hills and its a biography.In the end, it says Hedy died when her first husband Gunther came to visit her while she was on a safari. He was obsessed with her and he kept saying stuff like you're coming back home with me. She obviously didn't want to and he had grabbed a scarf she had and wrapped it around her neck and was about to choke her or drag her to the car. She had a revolver and shot him in the stomach. There had been pits dug to save themselves if a wild animal came it would fall into the holes. Hedy and the now shot Gunther fell into the pits and Hedy cracked her neck and died.
  i looked up her death online and it wasn't anything like that. i know the title is what ALMOST happened to Hedy Lamarr but on the back of it, it says biography.Don't they have to tell what really happened if it's a bioraphy? Does anyone know how and when Hedy actually died?
  
  Answer:-january 19 2000 of natural reasons she died in florida

  Answer:-
• Question:-LGBT: What do you think of Congress attempting to "Censor" the internet?
  Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
  
  As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.
  
  Answer:-Pathetic, and it actually scares me that they can even think about it. Why would they even come up with this?
• Question:-Isn't it sad when the far left/right are actually more reasonable than the Dems/GOP?

  Answer:-
• Question:-What would you do if they "censor" the internet?
  Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
  
  As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.
  
  The US will be able to block a site’s web traffic, ad traffic and search traffic using the same website censorship methods used by China, Iran and Syria.
  
  Could this pass?
  Yes. The Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act have widespread support in Congress and are expected to pass.
  *On November 16th, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does, the Internet and free speech will never be the same.*

honda generator

• Question:-What kind of fuel does a honda generator use?
  Hi, this may be a stupid question but im a city slicker planning on campong and i want to buy a honda generator, What kind of fuel does it use? where do i get it? thanks.
  
  Answer:-Kind of depends on the actual generator you are buying. MOST generators will run on regular gasoline. Your owner's manual will tell you the proper type...
  
  Other types of fuels generators can run on: 2:1 stroke engine requires a mixture of oil and gas. Diesel Gasoline, Propane, Natural gas.
• Question:-I need a bill of sale for a Honda generator?
  I need a "bill of sale " to buy this 1100 dollar for a eu3000is honda generator.. and I don't have no clue how to make one or even the words on where to start. can anyboyd help me do one.
  
  Answer:-BILL OF SALE. Sold, as is, one Honda generator, to ____________ , for the sum of $_____________.
  
  Seller's signature _____________________
  
  Receipt acknowledged (Buyer's signature) _________________
  
  (Fill in buyer's name and price, seller signs to indicate title transfer, buyer signs to indicate receipt of generator)
• Question:-How can we clean out the gas tank of our EU3000i Honda generator?
  We strain the gas thoroughly and still there's dirt showing in the tank. We don't figure how to remove the tank so we never get the gas truly clean. The trouble doesn't appear to be water in the gas. The gas filter shows pieces of dirt. Last night the generator flickered, died, and wouldn't restart. But only a shot of WD40 to the air cleaner this morning would get the generator to start -- now it runs fine. The manual, of course, doesn't help; we are far away from a Honda dealer and would like to fix this ourselves.
  
  Answer:-Your fuel tank probably is rusting inside because old fuel was left in it. Try using mineral spirits or kerosene to flush out your fuel system by filling the tank and flushing it by then dumping the tank by rolling the generator on its side to dump the fuel tank. repeat until all the loose rust and dirt come out. And then replace the fuel filter. Refuel the generator and run to operating temperature. If you don't run your tank completely dry between uses; use a fuel stabilizer like Stabil or SeaFoam to protect your carburetor and fuel system. Most fuel starts to spoil within 30 days.
• Question:-How do you make a quiet Honda Generator louder?

  Have tried to get one from USA, not sure if it would be compatible with the Aussie ones, but there again I don't think they would ship to here.
  Any help appreciated.
  
  Answer:-go to a Honda dealer they should have one or be able to get one. There are also places that can rebuild them a lot cheaper than buying one. A12 year old generator isn't that old and they don't change styles that often.

  I am trying to hook up a Honda EU invertor 2000 generator to my Lennox furnace. The electrician put a pig tail on my furnace and that is hooked up correctly but when I put the power from the generator on, all that works is the thermostat display and then a red light blinks fast and a green light blinks slow.

  I agree with "Dan", check your polarity
  & make sure you've got a good ground between the two
• Question:-I have older honda generator. is the battery in it to start the generator a 6v or 12 v.?
  the battery is about half the size of a car battery and it has 6 holes to fill water for it. I need to recharge battery but need to know what volt battery it is.
  
  Answer:-12 volt- 2 volts per cell.
• Question:-Catalytic Converter On A Honda Generator?
  Is it possible to install a catalytic converter on a Honda Generator ?
  
  Answer:-Not without a great deal of work. In order for a converter to work properly you need to maintain an air-fuel mixture ratio that is very close to stoichiometric at all times. This very important so that the converter doesn't overheat. If the converter overheats, it will burn out the catalyst and stop working.
  
  This is why every car with a catalytic converter has a closed-loop fuel injection system with an O2 sensor. The FI system using the feedback from the O2 sensor can maintain very tight control over the fuel mixture.
  
  If you're willing to equip your generator with a closed-loop injection system, you can make this work. It can be done. Check out Megasquirt.

• Question:-How do I change the display time on my office phone?
  It is a Samsung Prostar. It displays both the date and time. Since the time change it has been off an hour. I would like to change it.
  
  Answer:-On most PBX (office phone) systems, the date and time are set across the entire phone system at the central controller unit for the system. Your best bet (or perhaps your only bet) would be to get in contact with someone in your company's IT or telecommunications department and request that they fix the time.
  
  I did find programming instructions for such a system at the link below, but it assumes that the passcode for the system hasn't been changed from the default.

  Usually you have to go the Setup or settings Menu==> then you can go choose Phone Setup==> then go to Time and date, then adjust your time.. if it doesn't work go to Time Zone setting and change it depending on your location..
  For example if you are in middle east my time zone will be +2 or +3 GMT
• Question:-How do I change the time clock in my 06 Mitsubishi Lancer?
  So I know this is probably a dumb question, but I can't figure out which buttons to hold down or press to change the time on my clock in my Lancer! I googled it and didn't find any answers, just car highlights and overviews and reviews. I lost my manual during the move to my new home, but I know I changed it last year and this spring when we had the time changes, but I have no clue how I did it... Any help?
  
  Answer:-First its not a dumb question and you can find out how to do this three ways........
  
  1. Just call your local dealership and ask them....
  
  2. Call the manufacture and ask them (1-888-648-7820)....

• Question:-How and when should I change my clock for the time change?
  I have work tomorrow at 9:00 AM, so when and how do I change my clocks to reflect the time change?
  
  Answer:-Any time before going to bed the night of the time change.
  (Here, in Calgary, it's tonight, Saturday Nov. 3rd).
  Don't forget to change your alarm clock too.
  All your clocks should be set BACK by 1 hour.
• Question:-How do I change the display time on my office phone?
  It is a Samsung Prostar. It displays both the date and time. Since the time change it has been off an hour. I would like to change it.
  
  Answer:-On most PBX (office phone) systems, the date and time are set across the entire phone system at the central controller unit for the system. Your best bet (or perhaps your only bet) would be to get in contact with someone in your company's IT or telecommunications department and request that they fix the time.
  
  I did find programming instructions for such a system at the link below, but it assumes that the passcode for the system hasn't been changed from the default.

• Question:-Iam curious to know how John Beck trying to help people by buying his cd and charge usevery month?
  How is it that john beck charging us every month for a cd what is up with that.
  
  Answer:-It's a total scam! My dad tried it and it doesn't work. He gives you a bunch of complicated info that makes little sense, then he says you can have someone go over it with you for the monthly fee. We never really got the info we paid for.
• Question:-How do you think John Beck will do this season?
  Incase you guys don't know who John Beck is (LOL) hes the qb of the redskins.
  
  Answer:-It's pretty obvious what the Skins are doing. He's gonna be the stepping stone on the path to Andrew Luck.
• Question:-has anyone every had experience with the John Beck Free and clear Real Estate System?
  I see it on TV, info Mercial at night. I know that you can buy properties very tax sales, but has anyone had experience with john Beck, either good or bad?
  
  Answer:-John Beck makes a ton of money flogging his "system" to clueless rubes. If it was such a great way to make money, he'd be doing it himself (and keeping any "tricks of the trade" to himself) not selling a worthless "system" on how to do it.
  
  FYI, very few properties that go to tax auction are more than junkers that need to be pulled down. Read all of the small print disclaimers on the bottom of the screen. "Results not typical" means that most folks will NOT make any real money.
  
  Capture the infomercial on a DVR and step through frame-by-frame and read all of the fine print that flashes across the screen. Do that (I have) and you wouldn't want to give the jerkoff a DIME!
• Question:-Can you make a profit by buying tax sales real estate properties? Such as John Beck's free and clear?
  I have seen several infomercials such as John Beck's system. I would love to have rental properties. It just seems to good to be true. It is something I have been wanting to do for awhile.
  
  Answer:-In general, yes, you can make a profit. Be aware, however, that reasonably desirable properties do NOT sell for 'cents on the dollar', as advertised. The properties which actually do sell for that tiny amount are worth about that amount.
  
  Before you make any moves to purchase properties, carefully investigate the laws in your state relating to tax lien sales. Depending on your location, if you purchase a $150K property for what seems like a real deal, the title may be encumbered by a mortgage. If your property title carries such liens and your state does not require them to be cleared prior to tax sale, you could end up also buying the mortgage along with the property.
  
  As an aside, don't bother to send any money to Mr. Beck, since the information he provides is readily available for free elsewhere. It just takes some legwork to gather all of it.
  
  Good luck !
• Question:-What would be the best team for John Beck to go to?
  I think the 49ers because they are in desperate need of a qb.
  btw, beck's numbers are decent, he just has fumble issues, if he could get over that, he would be fine.
  
  Answer:-I think John Beck could go to any team that needs a QB or a good backup. Maybe the Vikings might want him? I think the Seahawks could use his since Hasslebeck is struggling and is injured.
• Question:-Does anyone know about "John Beck" and buying tax-default homes?
  I saw the info-mercial for John Beck. Is there any thing to this buying "tax default" homes? I've heard mixed suggestions. How about government forclosures? Can it be done with out having to buy an instructional program? Any free details would help! ;)
  
  Answer:-I did my due dilligence and found out that the cost of the program is misleading. He claims that it only costs $39.95. What is not mentioned is that this $39.95 is charged every month. It's a credit card scam. If you wanted to get his materials, I would suggest going to ebay to buy the literature without having your credit card charged every month.
• Question:-John Beck Free & Clear Real Estate System Can you really make money easily?
  John Beck's System is it trust worthy to get involved with
  
  Answer:-Absolutley.......
  
  He can tell you how to make 1 million a year. He does classes to explain it. Those classes might cost you 500 bucks. But ask a question, just one question.
  
  Is the person a snake oil saleman? Or do they want to have 1000 poeple in the room making a million dollars? If he was that good why doenst he just make a billion dollars. Is it out of the love of his heart he is telling you this?
  
  No its not. He made his million dollars a year becuase he told 1000 people this is how they make a million dollars a year. If he could actually do it, he would be making money. But he makes more money by selling something he doesnt do. Ask him.... How much have you actually made doing this?
  
  I can spin a web anyway you want.
• Question:-If John Beck made millions on his Clear and Easy work at home plan, why must he sell it for so much?
  I mean really if he is so rich from this and if just wants to help everyone learn how to do it, why does it cost so much to get into? My personal hypotheses is that he actually made thousands, and he plans to make his millions of us (realizing he cant go any further with his home buying scheme). What do you think?
  
  Answer:-You are right---he made a little on a few properties and now is looking to cash in with his books. If I had the secret to make millions I sure wouldn't share it. The books only tell the basics---I myself made some money on properties but it was no-where a million bucks and now with the Economy and Credit Crisis the way it is --it has dried up.
• Question:-There is an infomercial by John Beck advertising a system to buy homes for less than $1000, what is going on?
  The informercial is explaining that a home that sells for $189,000 sold for some amount under $1000, and the tv ad briefly discusses back taxes (i.e. liens on the property). If something is going for these prices, then how much of a lien is on the property, and is the buyer really able to resell it for its fair market value without the lien and without paying any taxes? How could the informercial be so misleading!
  
  Answer:- John Beck is a thief! I ordered his package and, never received it,
  Can anyone spell SCAM?
  I was unauthorizedly billed $120 towards my Credit Card so, I had to close it to avoid losing anymore of my hard earned money. Yeah, don't be his next victim, go to college and, get a good paying job or, you will suffer BIG TIME! I kinda like his hand gestures, when, lying about everything he saids :)

flat tax

• Question:-Flat tax???!?!?!?
  I need reasons that we should switch to a flat tax system....and what the benefits would be of this switch...
  
  Answer:-Well a flat tax certainly would be fair. The poorest person would pay at the same rate as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. It would be simple because all income would be subject to tax and there would be no deductions.
  
  But would it be a workable system? When the average middle class or poor taxpayer finds out his taxes are going up and taxes for the rich are going down, what do you think? Is it fair that a single mom with 2 children making $15000 a year who with the EIC pays no taxes now be able to make ends meet when she suddenly has to pay income tax? Is it fair that some with Social Security or a VA pension as their only income have to pay income tax? Why shouldn't some one who is rich not have to pay a higher rate than a middle class family? After all, hasn't this country been good to them?
  
  There is a flat tax proposal out there called the fair tax that is similar to what you are asking about. It proposes that all income be free of tax and instead a 30% sales tax be added to nearly every retail purchace. I don't like it because it is bad for the poor, families, the middle class, Social Security recieients and nearly everyone except the rich.
  
  By the way a flat tax won't make the IRS any smaller because some one still has to collect a flat tax or fair tax or what ever system we decide on.
• Question:-Flat Tax???
  What is flat tax? and how does flat tax adversely affect the middle class?
  
  Answer:-A flat tax would replace the current system with a single percentage for everyone. Right now, the system increases as income increases. For example, you only pay 10% tax on the first $10,000, then you pay 15% on the next $10,000. A flat tax would make it a single percentage, say 20%, for the full $20,000. Since the highest tax bracket is 35%, a flat tax would need to lower to avoid seriously harming low income people. This would allow for the wealthiest to receive huge tax breaks over the current system.
• Question:-flat tax...?
  what are the pros and cons of a national flat tax?
  
  Answer:-There are only CONS because a "Flat tax" or a "Fair Tax" would be anything BUT "fair." It would greatly benefit the very RICHEST of Americans and the very poorest Americans, but everyone else in the middle would feel the greatest squeeze.
  
  By way of contrast, most states that have sales taxes have roughly a 50 percent tax base. With the FairTax’s 100 percent base, consumers would pay taxes on a great many things that may not intuitively seem like consumption. The list would include:
  Purchases of new homes
  Rent
  Interest on credit cards, mortgages and car loans
  Doctor bills
  Utilities
  Gasoline (30 percent in addition to current taxes, which would not be repealed)
  Legal fees
  
  At today’s prices, gasoline would cost almost $1 per gallon more. A $150,000 new home would run $195,000 – plus the 30 percent tax that the buyer would pay on the interest on the mortgage. In short, the FairTax taxes everything that one buys, with the one notable exception of education. Any exceptions to the tax base (for instance, eliminating rent or credit card interest from the tax base) would require an offsetting increase in the rate.
  
  When Athens was ruled by dictators, an era we now call tyranny, each person paid the same tax. This levy was an onerous burden for nearly all except the rich. Thinking about this tax burden eventually gave birth to the moral basis of tax- the more and individual gains from living in a civilized society, the greater his obligation to maintain that society with his taxes.
  
  Here's a little homework for you all. Visit a "fair" tax or "flat" tax website such as fairtax.org, visit their "about us" section and then google the founders of that organization. Just about ALL of them are BILLIONAIRES. Now ask yourself "Would a billionaire REALLY want "fair" taxation or just taxation that helps THEM out?" I think we ALL know the answer to that one...
• Question:-How would a flat tax system improve the economy ?
  Recently I asked how people felt about a national sales tax to replace the current IRS system of payroll/income taxes. Someone mentioned a flat tax system - I was wondering how a flat tax system could benefit the working poor and the middle class ? Would it be better for them , or would it just save the rich more money ?
  
  Answer:-we would still have the IRS - no improvement
  
  the original Income Tax WAS a flat tax - but congress changed that - no improvement
  
  in 1986 they tried a three tiered flat tax - but congress puts in 4000 changes a year - no improvement
  
  guess it's time for the FAIRTAX and get rid of the IRS
  
  BIG IMPROVEMENT
  
  takes 3% of our Gross Domestic Product just to comply with IRS regulations and rules (that's gross)
  
  takes us 24-30 hours just to prepare our taxes - and if we make a mistake - OH how we are liable!!!
  
  so let's all pay at the cash register! ALL! and all Americans will get a tax 'prebate' since we dop not pay on the poverty level of taxes.
  
  so for me - about $26k salary - would get 28% MORE take home pay including the prebate.
  
  It would bring in more taxes 1.4 trillion would go up to 2 trillion
  would pay for Social Security and Medicare and the Federal Govt
  
  And all would pay - even the visitors to the US!
  **************************************************
  11 Trillion $$$$ comes home from overseas savings banks
  ***************************************************
  our goods cost 20% less overseas (and here) which should increase our economy WOWOWOWOWOWOW
  ***************************************************
  
  but we will lose our home mortgage deduction (dangle the carrot)
  uhhhhhhhh remember Boss Hogg? 10% of 10% of 10%
  sounds like a lot
  butttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
  only 45 % of taxpayers file a schedule A -
  Anddddddddddddddddddddddddd
  we can only claim that amount over the 10,000 that IRS now
  gives us -
  annnnnnddddddddd
  we only get to keep the percentage that we go over that 10k
  soooooooooo would I rather have the 2% I might get back
  
  or the 28 % sure thing
  
  wow - I am really confused - 2 or 28 - - - - - - - - -
  
  let me have the cart load of carrots - and you can keep the one!
  
  all the best
• Question:-What are the cons of a flat tax amongst businesses?
  If we had a flat tax on all business income instead of the sales tax we have today, would we generate more income? I admit I do not know a lot about our business income tax laws, but what do you think?
  
  Answer:-I agree you don't know a lot about business income taxes.
  Business pay income tax, not a sales tax. They might pay sales taxes on items they consume, but for the most part, consumers pay the sales tax.
  
  The impact of a flat tax on business would of course depend on the rate. After all, there's a big difference between paying a 5% rate and a 55% rate. The first would bring joy, the second, many bankruptcies.
• Question:-Why would any person earning an average wage support a flat tax?
  Just to give you an idea of flat tax. The UKIP wants it in the UK. They advocate a flat tax of 33% for all incomes. Of course very low income earners may benefit from this as they may be bumped off the tax system, however the average wage tax bracket in the uk is 22% and the top bracket is 40%. So essentially a flat tax would give the normal workers a 11% tax hike and the rich a 7% tax cut. Why would anyone on a normal wage support ideas like this?
  
  Answer:-Because they're too stupid to see the sense of what you say? There have been many fringe nut cases in Australia who have suggested this sort of tax too...(in fact some of those fringe nut cases used to run the country under Howard). Pauline Hanson was another who thought flat tax was a great idea. She also thought Aboriginals were all cannibals, but that's another story.
  
  And you would be amazed at how many on an average wage thought it was a good idea.
  
  They get told that if they work hard and earn more they will be better off under this system and that if the progressive tax system stays when their wages rise they will lose most of it to the tax man.
  
  And as I said they are stupid enough to believe it. They are also stupid enough to believe that hard work will get them the high wages. But no matter how hard you work on a process line, you're never going to be in the top marginal tax bracket, are you?
• Question:-Proponents of a flat tax believe that tax revenues can actually rise even when the flat tax is lower than curr?
  Proponents of a flat tax believe that tax revenues can actually rise even when the flat tax is lower than current income tax rates. How could this happen and why? What's your position on this issue?
  
  Answer:-Many proponents of the flat tax start at an income level which exempts minimum wage earners. Dependents are the only variable exemption. There are no interest payments, house taxes, sales taxes earned income credits or any other deductions. That net amount is subject to a flat tax rate and everyone pays. I like the idea and feel that the person who earns the most should keep the most. Even in the Communist society those in the know had all the benefits.
• Question:-Is the flat tax a liberal or conservative value?
  I can see great benefits in controlling the writeoffs that the rich use a corporate welfare. But the rate should be 25% not 17%. Are there any others liberals that support the flat tax?
  
  Answer:-IM GOING TO GIVE WALLSTREET MORE TAX CUTS AND BONUSES
• Question:-Would a flat tax bring in more revenue for the government?
  I am under the impression that there is a large portion of our society that pays no income tax at all. In fact, my neighbor worked six months out of the year last year and got back more than she paid in? Would a flat tax, along with the elimination of the IRS, bring in more revenue than our current system? Has anyone done any studies on this, and could you provide a link?
  
  Answer:-Absolutely not. The vast majority of our country's money is grouped with the richest 1% of the country. Increasing taxes among the poor will barely increase revenue and will just put them in a worse position. In the meantime, a flat tax would reduce taxes for the rich, which would drastically reduce revenue. Btw, about 40-50% of people pay no federal income tax. They still pay a myriad of other taxes to federal, state, and local taxes.
• Question:-Why wouldn't lowering the corporate tax as well as a flat tax for Americans work?
  I don't understand why Corporate taxes are so high?
  Why wouldn't a flat tax for Americans work?
  Why not lower the taxes to a bare minimum on the money offshore so It will come back to the USA?
  Why not do double back flips for small businesses.
  What am I missing here?
  
  Answer:-Serious questions take many words to provide a serious answer.
  
  A flat tax would be devastating to the middle and lower classes and the very wealthy would welcome it because their tax rates would fall even more.
  
  CONSIDER THIS: If you tinker with the WAY we collect taxes WITHOUT CHANGING THE TOTAL REVENUE, do you possibly think that the wealthy would pay more while giving tax relief to the working class? I doubt any reform does that.
  
  Dick Armay's flat tax plan only considered wages, salaries, and pensions as income, while all other wealth transfer, such as investment and business income completely escaped taxation.
  
  Warren Buffet, the wealthiest man in America, says that his secretary pays taxes at a higher rate than him. There are some honest rich people who recognize the already unfair tax system. Flat tax systems or VATs are not the answer.
  
  Over the past 30 years, Republicans have convinced the public that they should be grateful to the wealthy for thier jobs, proclaiming that without a rich investor there would be no jobs. But that could not be further from the truth. Without workers there would be no wealthy. They claim expiration of a tax cut on the wealthiest 3% would be a job killer. Michael Steele and fellow Republicans fail to show us how. Will Republicans hide their money in their mattresses after the tax increase or will they continue seeking the highest investment returns possible?
  
  I'll tell you about the injustice of the American tax system. The working class pays more in taxes than the investment class.
  
  Workers pay a marginal rate of 40.3% (25% federal, 15.3% FICA)
  
  The wealthy investment class pays a marginal rate of 15% (15% capital gains taxes, near 0% Social Security and Medicare).
  
  Ask yourself why workers are taxed at nearly triple the rate of investors.
  
  There are just four ways to create wealth:
  
  1. Sell natural resources, such as animal, vegetable, and mineral
  2. Labor
  3. Intellectual and creative invention
  4. Exploit someone else's efforts from no's 1-3 above
  
  Of all these, #4 gets treated most favorably by our tax system. Investors create nothing of value.
  
  The wealthy cannot make money off their investments without someone to raise the livestock, pick the crops, or mine the copper. They cannot make money without workers. Their investments will not grow without inventors designing products or writing movie scripts.
