  • I have been thinking about this as well. I am sure there is some probelm with a spending side tax rather than income. Probably subversion of the tax. Undertable deals, street vendors, etc. With income they make the company track and get their cut before you are able to subvert anything.

    Also our economy is very credit based with the use of credit cards. If taxes were all collected at point of sale there might be probelms with defaulting and who gets the money if people don’t pay.

    I am not an economist. I am sure someone has thought of it already.


  • It’s a really hard mindset to break because at it’s surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

    Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it’s not a good life, they don’t make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The “welfare queen” stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people’s opinion.

    Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn’t starving.



  • Grinding at strip club isn’t illegal, hooker is.

    It’s clear you don’t have the same desires as people who go to these things. There isn’t really a point of trying to understand why, especially if you question explanations others give.

    Take a step back and realize that dispite it not making sense to you, people are doing it and are enjoying it.

    I don’t understand the appeal myself, but it’s not some cosmic secret that needs unraveled.

    Woman pretty, woman pay attention to me (maybe), activity gives my brain the happy chemical.





  • Maybe as a fire starter you could short the terminals or the plates/cells with a spike.

    Most expensives work by rapidly generating a large volume of gas in a compact area. The rapid expansion of the gas creates a Shockwave that can be used as a concussion blast or break about the bomb housing to throw shrapnel. Not really anything close to the same reaction. But this is all kinds of explosives…

    Edit: Crwayes to creates

    On any particular side there are two lines that connect to each number. But you follow the line alighted with the number on that axis towards whatever point inside the triangle.

    Go from the axis to the point instead of the point to the axis.

    Although, you can still figure out which line is for which axis based off the angle of the number.

    For example, the numbers for clay are horizontal and are associated with the horizontal lines.
