Communism, Limited Edition, 2.0 Make any tax 100% and nobody will pay it. Tax is not a penalty for being rich (or whatever).

This rudeness is usually just a result of not being able to adequately translate from their native language. In Russian for example, many rude words are not actually rude. But their translation into English are, but many non natives are not

People, think positive. Having a patent means that no one except his genius Vogel (or his licensees) can actually implement this system. So our goal is not to bash his brilliant idea, but to convince Vogel that it's worth at least $1B (per

what do you mean? I know how silencer (sound suppressor) works and I know (and was shooting) a gun which doesn't require a suppressor. The latter one makes no noise AT ALL, except for the mechanics.

I owe you a million dollars, is it my problem? Yes, it is, you can sue me, you can take my home, my car, etc. I can go bankrupt, I will never see the light of the credit card again in 7 years, etc. Who can sue US of A and send it to bankrup

Just a little common sense: social security expenditures in European countries account for 28% of GDP. In US it's 7% (!!11). Thanks for asking, btw, I knew it is bad, but I never even thought it is THAT bad. http://video.minpress.gr/wwwmin

That's the problem: not millions, but a million (1.6). And there're not so many millions left (if any at all). While for Pinterest it's just the beginning.
