Just because they're rich doesn't make them an expert or even have a clue as to what they're talking about. Gates even says that in his statement. But you did notice he did say raise taxes on everyone right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So we're taking tax advice from rich people? Just because they're rich doesn't make them an expert or even have a clue as to what they're talking about. Gates even says that in his statement. But you did notice he did say raise taxes on everyone right? Yeah. You know. Especially after the dude admits that he's no expert on it. --- Good job, DiN! You put a post about taxes in the thread marked "Taxes and Charity" rather than starting another thread titled "Taxes." Next, you can work on putting your Legos back in the blue bin.

DC Tom Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 But you did notice he did say raise taxes on everyone right? That would require him to read. But, to his credit, he did read far enough to know it was about taxes, then read enough of the thread title to know this thread was about taxes, then manage to realize the two subjects were related. So...baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right more people listen to Gates than Merrill. But they listen when he talks about something he knows about. That would be like me saying people should listen to what the CEO of Goldman has to say about operating systems because he's rich and uses a computer. See how silly that sounds?

IDBillzFan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 What the hell are you babbling about? Apparently companies merging or changing names is a way to keep people like birdog out of the super secret investment opportunities to which only the rich have access. "They changed their name again?

"They changed their name again? I'm NEVER gonna get rich at this pace." when i finally remembered "when - - - talks, people listen" was ef hutton, i had to confirm it. and i got the opportunity to learn all about check kiting. pretty neat trick. now there's an investment opprotunity not open to everyone.

Chef Jim Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Well, well, well...isn't that interesting. My old stomping grounds. The scheme worked for almost three years until officials at the Genesee County Bank in Batavia, New York, discovered that the large deposits made by Hutton's four-person office there were far more than the office's banking requirements when i finally remembered "when - - - talks, people listen" was ef hutton, i had to confirm it. and i got the opportunity to learn all about check kiting. pretty neat trick. now there's an investment opprotunity not open to everyone. And no, that investment opportunity is open to everyone. Edited January 27, 2012 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
