[Chaparral]

Hmmmmm, maybe my maths studies are inadequate but $500.00 * 1,000 = $500,000.00.

You do math as skillfully as you assess LEO critics.

Percent

1 percent is 1/100th, so 1,000% is $500 X 10 or $5,000. Sorry, you may be suffering from what congress has, except their problem is not being able to tell the difference between 1 million, 1 billion and 1 trillion! Not trying to be the math police.

I don't care what the reasoning or anything, but any member of Congress that suggests a 1000% tax on anything should be banned from public office

 

[RETOKSQUID]

So when do we get a 1000% tax on all forms of congressional income?

IF there was ever a chance of it passing and IF it were actually enforced, I might be able to support a ban on lobbyists being allowed to deduct the cost of the alcohol, hookers and blow they provide to politicians.
(Who am I kidding, the people paying the lobbyists would just stick it to the little people even harder to pay for it.....)
