(130,536 posts)The one I have was a wedding gift in 1974, and it only has a few settings. Also, it's a nasty shade of harvest gold. I'd like one of those nice stainless steel ones that I can use to make a good vichysoisse.

MyNameGoesHere
(7,638 posts)If you keep your profits at 20-25% and executive salaries within $500,000 of your highest paid employee. If you do not outsource. If you keep all earnings, investments, and corporate earnings in <non-sheltered> the USA. If you allow a percentage of random regular employees sit on executive boards with full voting rights. If you meet all this you get the lowest end of the flat tax. No exceptions no loopholes.<possibly a probationary period hence the 20-25% range> Now if you choose not to abide by this you are awarded:
All earnings taxed at 70%.
I have some details to work out but what do you think?

(10,857 posts)I want them to chill the hell out, have a beer, watch some football, and eat some good food. Have they considered visiting Colorado and getting high? Could we give them a voucher to go and do that?
Mr. President, please executorize that right away.
distantearlywarning
(4,475 posts)Also, I don't follow hockey, but some of my friends do and they are very sad right now, so if Obama could end the lock-out that would be cool.
And also an Aston Marton Zagato, please. I'm not picky about the color.
Thank you, President Obama, for promising to give us all the free stuff we wanted if we voted for you!
Savannahmann
(3,891 posts)I want several things, all of them promised during the first campaign in 2008. I want the the torture facility at Guantanamo Bay closed. I can give him a pass on that because the Rethugs screwed him by denying him money to relocate the prisoners. I want the PATRIOT ACT abolished. I have a harder time giving him a pass on that, because he signed the reauthorization bill. The next time it comes up, I want him to VETO the damn thing.
I want to see some action on Amnesty. I am sick and tired of being in a nation where millions of people are hiding in the shadows because they are brown.
I feel dissapointed in the thread and the site, because we were the ground game of the re-election effort. We need to let the Washington Elites know we're serious when we say we expect action.

- two girlfriends (I'm poly and kinky. That's why I'm awesome. They can have other boyfriends too.)

- Books.
- Government job. (Mayor Barry used to hand them out here to all askers but I was in HS in CT at the time.)

President Obama reduces the death sentence of those who committed a federal crime and were condemned to death for it to a sentence of life imprisonment without the chance of parole.
The removal of the cap for FICA taxes.
Legalize marijuana and decriminalize the possession of hard drugs for personal use. Concentrate on nailing illegal drug dealers for income tax evasion.
