Let the 'war on Chinese hacking' begin (now that the 'war on drugs' is lost and the 'war on terror' is off the front pages). Was this supposed to distract us from Obama handing over Guantanamo terrorists or tha

Perhaps TrueCrypt was an NSA scam all along, 'retiring' before they're found out? Worse still, a Russian/Chinese scam!

Google/Facebook/Twitter - yeah that took years of scientific study and research. Weren't they all started by 2 people with a great idea? Truth is, US 'innovation' is all about ideas, whereas a high level of collabor

China already sees the US as a place with less respect for human rights than they do, so in some ways, the US is worse than a communist country.

A "lie" requires intent as per the response that "Audi UK said there had not been any deliberate intent to mislead". Audi dealers did make false claims which were misleading. You would need something in writing, like an

Oh, the US government will just retaliate with sanctions against Russian companies.

Obama hasn't done his job of bringing change. Quite what the word "hope" means to him is anyone's guess. What we've got instead is a system of government so ridiculous and bizarre that it's not worth following

As soon as Google+ insisted on real names, they made me realize it was only a vehicle for selling my privacy (pretty much my only motive for leaving Facebook). Now interested in neither.

He wouldn't have sold to Facebook if users' privacy and security was his top concern. Money was likely his top concern.

How is this good for privacy if Facebook's business model is selling personal information for financial gain? They could change the ToS anytime and sell all your personal information (several years of messages, photos, video) next day.

How much do they earn in China? Wouldn't be at all surprised that they have a ton of experienced pilots, but earning more than $21,000. Is this some kind of 'trickle up effect' where cutting salaries at the bottom has squeeze

Does this mean you recruited some people who couldn't explain the structure and you found they were no good anyway?

OK, in response to your questions: Q: Since your logic is "X provides jobs so X shouldn't be taxed" then I shouldn't have to be taxed if I have any household staff, no? A: Nope, that wasn't my logic. Q: Do you think

Actually, there's nothing to coordinate in setting your corporation tax to zero, but you'd likely incrementally increases dividend taxes.
52.
by Eye_of_Mordor 13y ago
Yes, the logic is that the corporation paid tax on their profits before dividends. Perhaps there's a case for corporation tax abolition and increased dividend taxation?

I think you are angry with corporations 'getting away with it', but you can view them as an enabler of tax: - taxes from their employees - taxes from their dividends What if there were no corporation tax - how would revenues be af

Corporations pay out taxed dividends from their profits.

Is there any point in taxing companies at all - they provide jobs for tax payers.

Shame he didn't learn empathy from Woz - arguably the greatest flaw in his character and possibly the biggest need he had as a human being.

I don't mind the law, but they shouldn't be collecting data in the first place. No data - no problem.

It's about time for legislation making it a crime to report whistleblowers to the police and a criminal offense to search or seize their equipment. Perhaps an independent review body could be set up to arbitrate these situations?
