You also have a lack of education and viable birth control in 3rd world countries.

Says the guy who just proposed 85% tax... 85% tax on about 3% of the population. You are really having a hard time understanding this, aren't you? edit: Heh, TN beat me to it! edit 2: I'm not sure why we bother. Sharpie is clearly a Russian plant.

Maybe Sharpie is Kelly Kinkade?

We were talking about inheritances, which aren't really earned in a traditional sense. Although, I suppose I may have worked my way out of my own inheritance by not getting along with my parents. I don't really have a problem with the top 3% of estates being taxed on inheritances. I think it is actually a pretty conservative idea that you will not be taxed on the first million of inheritance. That is going to allow the vast majority of people to avoid taxes of inheritances. I think 85% after that million is an absurdly high number, but I'd rather start with the concept that 97% of estates will not be taxed and work on that 3% separately. edit: The ownership we are talking about is the estate of a deceased person. What rights do kin have that estate? We assume that property should be passed down, but where do we draw the line? Should my kids have access to my pension? I do have life insurance options, but they typically have certain costs involved.

Business as usual for the Chiefs.

Don't tell Sharpie, but I thought that was a pretty ridiculous number as well. ;-)

So a family with a house and a car is top 1%? You have no idea, as always, what you talk about.Another example of why US education is tanking. What in the world are you talking about? We were discussing million dollar inheritances. 3% of homes in the US are worth a million dollars. https://www.trulia.com/blog/trends/million-dollar-homes-2016/ You flipped out on Ben because he wanted to tax inheritance properties worth over a million dollars. This stuff makes me miss WoD.

I've got no problem with them simplifying the tax code and dropping my $300 deduction I get for school supplies, as long as it is lowering my tax liability as a middle class citizen overall. Right now I'm not convinced that will happen. Stop crying over the rich. They are increasing their wealth at a tremendous clip right now while the average tax payer is struggling to make any gains.

Watching Punisher. Growing up, my two favorite comics were Punisher and The Unknown Soldier. It is just amazing to see my faborite character realized so well. I love it. Iron Fist and Defenders were pretty dull, but I can watch Frank Castle all day long. No fantasy, no hero bs, just a messed up guy who is pissed off.

It's a good thing we have Volo and Sharp_One here to defend the rights of the downtrodden millionaires in the US.

So you support throwing families to streets because Grandpa who owned the house died. How German of you. It isn't 85% on the million, it is 85% on every cent after the million. So if the house is worth $1.1 million, you would pay $85,000, I assume.

VR also gives a decent portion of the population motion sickness. That is a big obstacle to overcome.

Xcom 2: War of the Chosen.

I don't know how I forgot Leo. He probably bumps Gosling from the top for me. I guess I have a type though, they have some similarities for sure.

That's a good list. I feel like Christian Bale has fallen off quite bit, sadly. Does he have enough range to compete with some of these others?

But seriously, these online shooters have been getting away with launching with little content for years. They basically run on the sports game model. Thankfully I don't see other genre's finding the same success with this model.

My Weissenbock checked in at 8%. It's tasty.

Ryan Gosling is definitely capable of changing the tone. He is a completely different character in The Nice Guys. I don't know, he's easily my favorite actor of the current generation. I can't even really think of who is on his level in his age group. Will Smith? Jude Law? He's a bit younger than those guys.

This just in: Rampage breaks the trend of bad video game movies.

I bought a refractometer and had fun testing the levels of my beer to determine ABV.

I'm not sure if it is the end of Al Franken, although it wouldn't surprise me. I think it is important to distinguish that his behavior was a terrible attempt at humor, rather than sexual gratification. But that may not really matter if the end result is the same.

In a kind of similar vein, I always find it odd when I'm at the store with my kids, old people will come up to us and be like "Dad's in charge today!" They say it like it is some sort of rare occurrence, like I am filling in for my wife for a day. It's so bizarre. The reality is the opposite, I probably have them on my own more often due to my wife's schedule, and I'm damn good at it.

This seems like a lot of work for us all just to agree Jagged Alliance 2 is the greatest game of all time.
