The future is HERE!!!!
 

Perhaps I should have titled the thread "the future is HAIR" or something....

I haven't watched it I'm on slow dial-up.

Probably so... It wasn't quite controversial enough to attract everyone's attention. But it DID get my attention.. I look for the not so controversial title lines first. :D

I had just watched the video clip. Very interesting....

Well, here's the plan...

They are going to offer a "national sales tax" or some kind of equivalent, which will be "Graduated". This will not be to REPLACE the income tax, but will be "along side" the income tax. However, they will REDUCE the income tax or the Social Security (FICA) tax to pacify the people.

Now, in order for the SALES TAX to be GRADUATED, that means that you wil pay a certain amount of sales tax per purchase based upon your income bracket.

Oh, but there are a couple of "problems" with that scheme. (They create the problems, so they can offer "solutions" you see...)

Problem number one and number two are as follows - how in the world can anyone, especially vendors, know what your tax bracket is?

AND what will keep people from simply having "poor people" (who wouldn't have to pay a sales tax) buy their groceries et al for them (thus avoiding the payment of taxes...)

Well, it will be done through the DRIVERS LICENSE. THIS way, you bring your groceries, you scan the Driver's License, the SYSTEM dictates how much sales tax is to be charged. PLUS, the purchases are RECORDED in the DATABASE.

How this solve the problem of fraud?

Simple. There will be LIMITS on how much you may purchase of particular classes of items. Go over the limit, and you will be "disallowed" or ELSE charged a HIGHER tax.

Now, we were told the "Real ID is coming" but it is ALREADY HERE and HAS BEEN for YEARS. They are just phasing it in and pretending like it's all "new".

Barcode on the forehead, anyone?

:)

Sooner or later, there will be a CCTV camera in every room of every house, even...

:)

How'd that work out?

Yeah, I'd like the barcode of the Father's name in my forehead, noted just a couple verses after the mark of the beast is mentioned, in Revelation 14:1.

You haven't got yours yet?

The future does not start until I have had my first cup of coffee in the morning.

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

I wonder what "doom and gloom" prophecies being made today will be laughable at someone reading this ten years from now... :heeheehee

REAL ID as internal passport:

Amazing how Americans no longer bat an eye at the establishment of a federal internal passport system.

I guess only us older folks remember what America used to be like?

And they wind up getting neither. Nor do they deserve either, according to Ben Franklin, I believe it was.

I miss being able to drink out of the tap. :)

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

I still drink water out of the water hose :)

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

Aren’t you the one who said that drinking water caused miscarriages?

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

It depends on how polluted your water supply is.

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

I thought you posted that drinking water was the leading cause of miscarriages?

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

Out of control water pollution, as seen by Trump deregulation, increases the number of miscarriages nationwide.

It specifically depends on what pollutants are in your water supply.

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

You have any legitimate proof of this?

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

The relationship between water pollution and miscarriages is well documented.

Re: The future is HERE!!!!
 

Where is it? Saying something is well documented is meaningless.
It’s just another way to shut up the opposition. Proving your case beyond the shadow of doubt is another issue. How did they do their testing? Were these women all drinking polluted water? What percentage of miscarriages are directly related to polluted water? You see Scott, this is what determines if we have a crisis or not. Also what element in the water is directly causing a miscarriage?
