1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention relates to a type of laser audio-visual equipment, particularly to one which is applicable to two-axle motor rotary mirror reflection system, to upgrade the variation of scanned patterns and visual effects, and to make improvement on such disadvantages of prior arts which patterns could only be projected onto a specified spot and which monotonous variation could not satisfy visual enjoyment.
2. Prior Art
In conventional technology, the two-axle motor rotary mirror reflection system is widely used in bar-code readers, as in the cases of U.S. Pat. No. US515181 and European patent No. UP0412544. A two-axle motor rotary mirror reflection system includes two sets of reflective mirror, each connected to the rotary motor to drive the rotation of the reflective mirror. Meanwhile, each rotary motor is connected to a control circuit to control the rotation of the motor. The light rays coming from the laser light source are reflected through one of its reflective mirrors to become reflected light, then the light rays continue to move forward, then they are reflected at the second reflecting mirror, and finally they become scanned patterns and are projected onto the screen. Such scanned patterns produced from the controlling the motor rotation and the angle of the reflecting mirror are similar to Lissajou pattern, and they would vary with the motor rotation and the angle of the reflecting mirror, and the patterns will vary accordingly. Only trouble is, the variation of such patterns is quite limited and stereotyped.
Referring to FIG. 1 which is the structural view of a prior art of a two-axle motor rotary mirror reflection system. First, a light projecting source 10 is provided, such as a light bulb or a laser source. The light rays projected from the light projecting source 10 are reflected at the first reflecting mirror 11a to produce reflected light, the first reflecting mirror 11a being connected to the first rotating motor 12a, the first rotating motor 12a being electrically connected to the control circuit 13a which serves to control the rotation of the first rotating motor 12a and to drive the first reflecting mirror 11a to rotate. The light rays reflecting from the first reflecting mirror 11a continues to move forward and are reflected at the second reflecting mirror 11b, the second reflecting mirror 11b being connected to the second rotating motor 12b, and the second rotating motor 12b being electrically connected to the control circuit 13b which serves to control the rotation of the second rotating motor 12b, and to drive the second reflecting mirror 11b to rotate. Said device, including the first rotating motor 12a, the first reflecting mirror 11a, the second rotating motor 12b and the second reflecting mirror 11b, constitutes the so-called two-axle motor rotating mirror reflection system, whereby, controlling of the motor rotation and the angle of the reflecting mirror will produce varied scanned patterns similar to Lissajou patterns, such as pattern 15 being projected on the screen 16. Generally, such scanned patterns can only be projected on a specified spot, and its variation is repeated in cycles, so it could not really satisfy our visual enjoyment.
On the other hand, such prior art of two-axle motor rotating mirror reflection system was designed for applications to household or KTV's audio-video recreational purposes. But, such scanned patterns could only have monotonous variations which are repeated again and again, they could not satisfy the visual enjoyment in households or audio-video recreational locations. Therefore, a sound function to control motor rotation has been introduced, in which, as long as there is the existence of sounds, such as music or hand-clapping sounds, it will be able to change motor rotation to enable more variations of the scanned patterns. Though such a method will increase the variations of scanned patterns, such increase is still limited, since the scanned patterns are still repeated and projected onto a specified spot, and it still fails to satisfy the spatial and visual enjoyment that are anticipated in households and audio-video recreational locations.
The main purpose of the subject invention is to provide a type of laser audio-visual unit that can be included in the pattern scanning and producing systems, by means of the spectral characteristics of diffraction grating on the full-image plate, a single scanned pattern can be diffracted and distributed in the space, with the addition of simple balancing devices, to control motor rotation to adjust the angle of reflecting mirror, thus increasing the variations of scanned patterns and the visual effects. To achieve the above purpose, the subject invention presents a laser audio-visual unit, comprising a laser figure display device and a full image spectral device. The aim of the subject invention is to provide a type of laser audio-visual device whereby automatic, manual, sound-control, or other different operations are possible to display "laser figures" on the wall or screens, thus enabling widely-varied patterns for such occasions on performing stages, parties or advertisements.
From one aspect, the present invention is directed to a full-image spectral device, including:
The first reflecting mirror, fitted on the first rotating motor, to reflect light rays, with a balancing device fitted on the first rotating motor, by way of such balancing device, the varying rpm of the first rotating motor will adjust the inclining angle of the first reflecting mirror. Besides, there is a second reflecting mirror connected to the second rotating motor, to reflect the light rays that are reflected from the first reflecting mirror, and on the second rotating motor is a balancing device whereby the varying rpm of the second rotating motor will adjust the inclining angle of the second reflecting mirror. Also, there is one or more full-image plates adjoining the second reflecting mirror, to diffract the light rays reflected from the second reflecting mirror, to increase the patterns' spatial variations and visual effects.
To enable better understanding of the subject invention, other purposes, features and advantages, the following example of preferred embodiment, along with drawings, are described in details below:

FIG. 12 is the view of composition of vectors, as in the double rotating mirror system of FIG. 10.
Referring to FIG. 2 there is shown a structural view of a full-image spectral device of the subject invention. First, a light projecting source (20) is provided, such as a light bulb or a laser light source. The light rays projected from the light projecting source 20 will produce reflected light at the first reflecting mirror 21a, the first reflecting mirror 21a being connected to the first rotating motor 22a, and the first rotating motor 22a being electrically connected to the control circuit 23a which serves to control the rpm of the first rotating motor 22a, and drive the first reflecting mirror 21a to rotate. The light rays reflected from the first reflecting mirror 21a continues forward to be reflected at the second reflecting mirror 21b, the second reflecting mirror being connected to the second rotating motor 22b, and the revolution of the second rotating motor 22b drives the second reflecting mirror 21b to rotate. The above device, including the first rotating motor 22a, the first reflecting mirror 21a, the second rotating motor 22b and the second reflecting mirror 21b, constitutes the so-called two-axle motor rotating mirror reflection system. By controlling the motor rotation and the angle of reflecting mirrors, we can produce various scanned patterns similar to Lissajou figures, as Pattern 25, then projected onto the screen 29.
Generally, such scanned patterns similar to Lissajou figures will include a function of voice-controlled motor revolution to increase the variations of patterns. With the existence of sounds in the environment, such as music or hand-clapping sounds, we can change the motor rpm and enable more variations of scanned patterns. However, since such scanned patterns 25 can only be projected onto a specified spot on the screen 29, and only monotonous variations can be repeated, it could not really satisfy our visual enjoyment. Therefore, the subject invention has added at least a fall-image plate 26 into the two-axle motor rotating mirrors reflecting system, located in front of the second reflecting mirror 21b where the light rays are reflected, which serves to enable diffraction of the light rays reflected from the second reflecting mirror 21b. The fall-image plate 26 has a diffraction grating, and the fall-image plate 26 can be made of a plastic material that is die compressed or die extruded, or a glass material that is gilded. In case the light source 20 is powerful enough, the light rays can be made into several steps of diffraction, such as zero-step diffracted pattern 25 and one-step diffracted patterns 25a to 25d, thus to increase the variations of the scanned pattern 25. Besides, the subject invention has also provided a biasing device 30, as in FIG. 3, to be installed between the first rotating motor 22a and the first reflecting mirror 21a, or between the second rotating motor 22b, and the second reflecting mirror 21b. That is, to an elastic device such as a spring 31a is installed between the first rotating motor 22a, and the first reflecting mirror 21a, or an elastic device such as spring 31b is installed between the second rotating motor 22b and the second reflecting mirror 21b. By that arrangement, number of pattern variations are increased.
Referring to FIG. 3 which is the enlarged view of the dotted area 30 in FIG. 2. The biasing device 30 is associated the rotating motor 22a, the rotating motor being connected the reflecting mirror 21a. And, between the reflecting mirror 21a and the rotating motor 22a is the connecting spring 31a, which is aimed to increase the number of variations of the scanned pattern 25 and scanned patters from 25a to 25d. As result of the tension of spring 31a and the inclining angle of the reflecting mirror 21a is θ1, when there is a change of rpm of the rotating motor 22a, the change of centrifugal force will shorten or lengthen the spring 31a, to change the inclining angle of the reflecting mirror 21a to θ2. Therefore, the inclining angle of the reflecting mirror 21a is changed simultaneously when the rpm of the rotating motor 22a is changed, thus increasing the variations of the scanned pattern 25 and the scanned patters 25a to 25d.
Referring to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 which are the laser patterns displaying device of the subject invention of laser AV equipment, comprising mainly: a housing 1, a fixed plate 2, a fixed rack 3, a printed circuit board 4, a mounting stand 5, a laser head 6, two or more motors 7a, 7b, 7c and two or more reflecting discs 8a, 8b, 8c, etc.
As in FIG. 5, said housing 1 is composed of a box hood 10 and a bottom plate 11 nailed thereto; Said bottom plate 11 is mainly for the fixation of most components of the subject invention; On the front side of the box hood 10 is a window hole 13 and a lens 14 serving as the lens 12 (as in FIG. 4) to project laser patterns in the subject invention; Said box hood 10 is mainly for covering all the components fixed on said bottom plate 11.
As shown in FIG. 5, said fixed plate 2 is a frame plate 20 preferably in a polygon, below which are one or more fixing legs 21 to be fixed onto the fixed rack 3 then locked onto the printed circuit board 4; On said frame plate 20 are two or more vertical racks 22 for the fixing of motors 7a, 7b and 7c.
With an unspecified shape of plate body 30, said fixed rack 3 comprises a plate body 30 below which are two or more fixing legs, and serves mainly as a locking device on the printed circuit board 4 to lock the fixed plate 2 (as in FIG. 6).
Said printed circuit board 4 includes a printed circuit (not shown in Figure) on the plate body 40, on which are electronic components such as several IC 41, several resistors 42, several capacitors 43, several diodes 44 and several transistors 45, etc. (as shown in FIG. 5), to compose such integrated (or complex) circuits as for motor drive, two-way rotation rpm control circuit, manual/automatic control circuits and sound-control circuits, etc. (application for which patent rights shall be filed separately, so they are not elaborated herein), to control the subject invention and to enable optional automatic, manual or sound-control operations; And, on one side of the plate body of the printed circuit board 4 are installed with such electrical components as: power converter socket 46, power switch 47a, mode switch 47b, changing patterns delay time knob 48a, the first manual changing pattern knob 48b and the second manual changing pattern knob 48c, etc. (as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5), which are used to control and operate the subject invention. This printed circuit board body 40 is locked by one or more pairs of channel shaped rack 15 onto said bottom plate 11 (as shown in FIG. 6).
Said laser head 6 is, as shown in FIG. 5, fixed by a clamping plate 61 onto the reflecting turning discs 8a, 8b, 8c, and on each reflecting turning disc is installed with a reflecting mirror 81 respectively, so that the "dot" laser rays projected from said laser head 6, when projected onto the first reflecting turning disc 8a, will be reflected onto the second reflecting turning disc 8b, then again reflected onto the third reflecting turning disc 8c, and the laser patterns reflecting from the third reflecting turning disc 8c is projected from the lens 12 on the housing 1 straight ahead onto the wall 9, or other screens, with a distance of no less than 30 centimeters (as shown in FIG. 7).
The mounting stand 5, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, is a U-shaped frame body 50, on both sides of its upper part are respectively a knurled or threaded nut 51 tightening a bolt 52; and on the insides of the two bolts 52 are respectively joined to the two sides of the box hood 10 on the housing 1 by rivets; The purpose of this mounting stand 5 is mainly to facilitate the installation of the subject invention. With said mounting stand, the subject invention can be fixed onto a machine frame (not shown in the Figure) or at one side of a performing stage, or any other fixtures; As shown in FIG. 4, the lens 12 on the box hood 10 of the housing 1 can be aligned to a horizontal direction straight ahead for the projecting of laser patterns. Or, the two nuts 51 at both sides of the mounting stand 5 can be loosened to adjust the housing 1 for slightly upward or downward inclination before the two nuts 51 are tightened again, to enable upturned or downward projection of laser patterns; In the same way as the above adjustment, the housing 1 can be adjusted and fixed on the upside or the backside position to project the laser figure patterns; Of course, when projecting laser patterns on the upside or backside position, the housing 1 can be adjusted either slightly to the front or the rear, or slightly up or down before it is tightened into position.
The above description covers the integral construction and structural installation of the subject invention of "laser patterns displaying unit"; As to how the subject invention will change the "dot" laser rays projected from the laser head 6 into "laser patterns" and what are the patterns, they are explained below with FIGS. 7, 8 and 9:
Referring to FIG. 7, when human eyes see the "dots" of something in "rapid movement", due to the effect of "visual pause", the image seen will be presented with a curve of a specified length. Based on this principle, the laser light "dots" projected from the laser head 6, when they are projected onto a wall 9 or other screens before they are reflected through two or more reflecting turning discs 8a, 8b and 8c, will compose various laser figure patterns composed of several curved lines (as shown in FIG. 8-11). The reason of different variations of laser patterns is mainly because of the different rpm ratio between the first reflecting turning disc 8a and the second reflecting turning disc 8b (since the rpm of the third reflecting disc 8c is synchronous with that of the second reflecting disc 8b); As shown by actual simulation tests, the difference of rpm and reflecting radius between the first and the second reflecting discs 8a and 8b will produce so various laser patterns shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. In other words, when the rpm ratio of the first reflecting disc 8a and the second reflecting disc 8b is preset at 1:1, the pattern (image) projected from the lens 12 of the housing 1 of the subject invention and displayed on the wall 9 or other screens, will be the "circle" figure (image) shown on FIG. 8-11; If it is set at 1:2, a "smaller circle" will appear within the larger circle as shown in 5b. In the same way, if it is set at 1:3 (or 1:-1; 1:-2 and 1:-3), then the images with one or more petals will appear as in FIGS. 8-13, 8-14 and 8-17. Then, if the reflecting radius is changed while the rpm ratios remain as above, then according to simulation test results, the laser patterns can be changed again, as in FIG. 8-17 which shows the figure under the circumstance of rpm ratio at 1:-2 and reflecting radius ratio at 1:1. If said reflecting radius ratios are reduced sequentially (the rpm ratios remain unchanged), then the three-petal figure will gradually reduce and sequentially become as shown in FIGS. 9a through 9e: i.e. laser figures of smaller petals, "arc-sided triangle", equilateral triangle, large and small rings, etc. To make or change said laser figures, or the displayed status or time duration and other operations, we will have to control those components installed at one side of the printed circuit board body 40 (as shown in FIG. 5) by depressing or rotating them: i.e. the mode switch 47b, delay time knob 48a and the first and second manual knobs 48b and 48c; Before operating the above, we have to plug in power source to the power converter socket 46 and turn on the power switch 47a; Meanwhile, besides the above two different control methods to change laser figures, we can also change the direction of rotation (forward or reverse) of respective motors 8a, 8b and 8c in order to change the laser figures; With the laser rays coordinated by the rotating mirrors, the subject invention will scan many varied patterns, based on the theoretical principles as follows:
FIG. 10 shows the laser patterns scanning system of double rotating mirrors, which comprises mainly a laser light source and two sets of rotating mirrors. The two rotating mirrors are so positioned to face each other, while the included angles of the normal vector and the rotating axis are respectively θ1 and θ2, and the rotating speeds of the two mirrors are respectively W1 and W2 (rad/s). When the light rays projected from the laser unit are reflected from the two mirrors, they are projected to the screen. In the formulas, n1 and n2 are the directional vector of the axis, n'1 and n'2 are the normal vectors of the screen surface. The light dots projected onto the screen rotate with the two mirrors and present various patterns. The following is the analysis of the mathematical formulas of the pattern.
First, fix the mirror 2 in position and suppose that only the mirror 1 is rotating. Now, project on the screen in the tangential direction of the mirror 2 to obtain virtual-image screen S' (refer to FIG. 11). In FIG. 11, the distance from mirror 1 to mirror 2 is d1, the distance from mirror 2 to virtual screen S' is d'2. If the normal vectors of the light L and the virtual screen S' are parallel, (as a matter of fact, if the two are not parallel, we can make a calculation of the projection according to the included angle of the obtained figure) with the rotation of mirror 1, we can obtain the figure in the virtual screen from the following formulas:
x=r1 cos (w1 t)
y=r1 sin (w1 t)
r1 =(d1 +d'2) sin (θ1)
Above formula is the parameter representation of a circle. And, the pattern on the virtual screen is the pattern presented on the real screen.
Now we will consider the case wherein the mirror 2 rotates simultaneously. In fact, the effect of rotating mirror 2 is to re-project the dots from the illuminated mirror to the screen. Just like moving the local ordinates to the light illuminated mirror 1 and reflected to the screen, then make a round movement, with the same principle described above. Finally, as shown in FIG. 12, the resultant of effects of the two rotating mirrors is the addition of vectors. And the formula of resultant light dot locus is:
x=r1 cos (w1 t)+r2 cos (w2 t)
y=r1 sin (w1 t)+r2 sin (w2 t)
r2 =(d1 +d'2) sin (θ1)
r2 d'2 sin (θ2)
The example of embodiment of the subject invention, with program designs, can control many different variations, including automatic, manual and sound control, to change the output of various laser patterns. The programs are listed below.

Let me tell you about a place that's won my endless love: Lisa's Mexican Restaurant on Bandera Road. The space—soothing, modern and inviting. Warm, saturated jewel tones and walls bursting with bold original artwork by Brother Cletus set the stage for memorable food. Lisa's pays homage to both Mexican and Tex-Mex. Comida estilo casero is elevated to exemplary status thanks to beautifully executed recipes, fresh ingredients and a respectful nod to tradition. The menu features interior Mexican classics like Rajas con Crema. Roasted poblano pepper strips and sauteed onions swim in a silky, rich cream sauce. Lisa's sopes are the best I've had in Texas- fresh masa patties with a discreet slather of bacony refrieds. One topped with earthy, piquant cubes of lean pork in perfect salsa roja, the other crowned with richly spiced papas with fresh chorizo. Both garnished with crisp lettuce, finished with queso fresco and drizzled with Mexican crema. I felt "en casa". I also fell in love with Lisa's two excellent salsas- a vibrant, playful tomato serrano, or a rich, roasted jalapeño, onion and tomato number with slow, lingering burn. Spinach enchiladas are benchmark. These espinacas are clean, vibrant and luxuriously draped in cream, sided with veggies and excellent, fluffy white rice. Classic Tex-Mex enchiladas sing, and San Antonians voted the cheese enchiladas "best in town". Lisa's borracho beans get bacon, fresh pico de gallo, beer and respect. Yes indeed, because the beans remain tender and whole at once, the broth eminently slurpable. These frijoles were also named "best in San Antonio". Pescado a la Veracruzana is lovely. The sauce, a well-balanced, complimentary blend of tomatoes, olives, peppers and spices doesn't overwhelm the mild fish fillets. Tacos al pastor get an achiote marinade for a "toque yucateco," rich, flavorful and alive with fresh cilantro, cebolla and pineapple. I was almost at the corner taquería in the DF, standing at an angle and biting my way to taco callejero heaven. Oh, and the corn tortillas. The flour are righteous, but the corn...oh my Aztec gods. Hand made, light, tender- hechas a mano. Great corn tortillas are hard to find in San Antonio, flour tortilla kingdom. Attention to craft and authenticity are the norm here. Go to Lisa's. Eat your way thru the menu. Enjoy the attentive, warm service. Be a discerning Mex-Tex lover. The server told me many of the regulars are fixtures- they eat here five and six times a week. I smiled, not one bit surprised. I understood. I'm one of them now.

Jacala is probably one of the best-kept secrets in San Antonio's Mexican food scene. Located in an out-of-the-way West Avenue eatery, it's been in business since 1949. I've been eating there at least that long. When I have out-of-town guests that the first place we go. Their food is true Tex-Mex, and they're noted for their "puffy tacos" ( a mouth-watering conncoction of specially spiced beef and hand-tossed tortillas). But the 'coup de grace' is their Cheese Enchilada plate. Smothered in Jacala's signature chili (the tasty variety, not the super-hot type), Jacala's Enchilladas are 'to die for'. If you want to return to tell your friends that you've had the very best Mexican foot money can buy, tell your waiter you want a Number 3 plate (their most popular). For the lesser appetite, try the 'Lady's Special', or the identical 'Macho's Special'. Wash it all down with a Especial Maragarita, and you can truly go back having eaten the 'real thing'! As to the service; it's incomparable! Richard (now in his 70s, has been with Jacala since he was 18 years old. Hi protogee', Miguel, has been there at least 25 years. Guera (pronounced Wera) has been there at least as long as Miguel and runs the second tier of restaurant help with a professional touch. Want to show your sophistication? Try to find the well-hidden face of Jesus in the mural along the rear wall. As a hint: It's located in the trees where the 'Rosita Bridge' crosses the San Antonio River. A further hint: It's on the right hand side of the bridge. -0-
When you first walk in you will be welcomed by the hostess who will direct you to your table and tell you who your server will be. In my case, Joel. =) The service is personal and you can expect to be asked how your meal is and how your day is going multiple times. The manager was just as friendly as the team he has. You can definitely keep snacking on the the chips and salsa as they are as superb as the sweet tea (garnished with lime) and enjoy the conversation of your company. The food is delectable. By far the best rice, beans and flour tortillas on the northside. The cheese enchiladas are mouth watering topped with their signature enchilada and chile con carne sauce. The flautas are light and crispy. They are filled and you are guaranteed a mouthful of tender chicken in every bite. This is truly a restaurant where the portions are just right or you might even find yourself saying "I ran out of food!" The atmosphere is perfect for the restaurant. You will find yourself dancing and even swaying to the tejano, amongst other types of latin music. The restrooms as well as the restaurant in general is immaculate both inside and out. This is crucial to me.... It was lunch time. A margarita seals the deal as a great before or after beverage. Did I mention the happy hour?

So simple & good! I find Nutella (& most brands of gianduja) to be overly sweet, so I added chopped bittersweet chocolate, which was a nice contrast & suited my tastes.

@Chilicat I have a 12 cup mini muffin pan; it's designed for toaster ovens & I love all my toaster oven pans: for my small family or girls' night in or anytime I don't need a large batch. :) PS love the idea of topping with a candy - any time there's more chocolate, is a good time! & so pretty.
This is such a simple recipe! I also doubled it to use my entire mini muffin pan (is there even such a thing as a 12-cup mini muffin pan?) and popped a Hershey's Drop on top of each brownie. They baked perfectly in 12 minutes and are nice and fudgy in the center. Honestly, you just can't go wrong with Nutella!! I found the recipe on a baking blog, but thanks for posting it here!

Skip to comments.HR 3962: IRS can disallow a perfectly legal tax deduction if they deem your motive is wrong
Posted on 10/29/2009 7:02:32 PM PDT by RushingWater
I would think all these tax increases are DOA in the senate.
Oh great. That means Oboma gets to pick a mind reading Czar. Will the madness never end?
The list, ping
Why would you think that? The rats are in charge of the senate too.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Well illegal tax write offs become perfectly legal if a democrat uses them. See Charles Rangel.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Part 2, Chapter 3, Page 404
>Codification of the Economic Substance Doctrine (Page 349): Empowers the IRS to disallow a perfectly legal tax deduction or other tax relief merely because the IRS deems that the motive of the taxpayer was not primarily business-related.
Sounds almost like a bill of attainder to me... but at the very least it is immoral and, honestly, should cause tax-collectors (IRS agents) to be shot and/or tar-and-feathered.
Here is another gem in the bill:
Application of More Likely Than Not Rule (Page 357): Publicly-traded partnerships and corporations with annual gross receipts in excess of $100 million have raised standards on penalties. If there is a tax underpayment by these taxpayers, they must be able to prove that the estimated tax paid would have more likely than not been sufficient to cover final tax liability.
These firms will have to justify that some unlikely event caused estimated taxes to not be sufficient to cover tax liabilities. This provision is just an excuse for forcing companies to provide interest free loans to the government.
These provisions are bad news for capital formation. Capital flight and much lower private investment will be accelerating. Why should anyone invest here? The rats want to confiscate your profits and wealth.
There's much to be said for keeping tradition alive...
Frightening , but funny!
"My ancestors shot revenuers over much less..."
Mine helped overthrow a King for far less....
Is there any other motive other than to pay less taxes?
There's nothing fair about your fair tax, it's a renaming of sales tax!!!
Mine came here 100 years ago in search of a better life... Looks like I may need to permanently go back overseas in search of that life, yet again!
Th question of a "reverse American diaspora" is interesting. america is extremely heterogenous..and traditionally has been held together by the promise of opportunity...based on ready and equal access to cheap energy and food. Our Congress and burocracy appears to be deliberately trying to bind us by eliminating both.
I think the idea of a sales tax stinks!
I'll take the income tax with it's thousands of ways to avoid taxes any day.
Anhyone doesn't want to read the tax code and use its multitude of tax avoidance ways deseves to be burned!
Where do you find support for a "Fair Tax"? The baby boomers, with savings that has already been taxed, will get taxed again, so count them out as supporters. The younger generation, who aren't yet in the upper tax brackets, would quickly be bumped up into the universal "fair" tax bracket and get burned. That leaves the middle third to maybe, just maybe, like the idea. I can't see where you'll get enough support.
Yep. The fact that some in this thread had their ancestors come here 400+ years ago, and others (like me) are 2nd generation Americans shows that "being American" isn't so much about race or history, but creed. And that is something that can transit to other countries as needed.
America isn't just a physical locality, for someone who's only been "inside" the US for 5 years can become an American (naturalized). It's an idea and a creed and approach to life. It will always exist, but perhaps not within the geographic bounds of the United States of America, if the current Administration and Congressional leadership have anything to do about it!
So you like the government telling you how to spend your money and what to do with your life (since they'll fine you—i.e., charge you more taxes—if you don't do what they prefer)?
A wealth-based tax is far more fair than an income-based tax.
The Rats are just going to wait out the Bush tax laws and let the rates go back where they were.
The tax code before 1986 allowed me to not pay any taxes from 74-90 which were my highest income years, all above $100,000.
before the 86 "Tax Simplification Act" which wasn't totally phased in until 1990, as far as i'm concerned the IRS tax code is 1800 pages telling you how not to pay income taxes.
The only reason that I paid taxes before 74 was I didn't get totally pissed off until in 73 I had to write a check for $18,000 at the end of the year.
I took out the tax code and figured out how to not pay income taxes.
"I think the idea of a sales tax stinks!"
"Ill take the income tax with its thousands of ways to avoid taxes any day."
Interesting, very interesting indeed. Very time you spend a dollar, a portion of that dollar goes to pay all for payroll taxes, companies income taxes and other hidden taxes all the back to turning a natural resource into a product and all the service industries related to that product. That amounts to about $.50 on the dollar. If you want to avoid paying taxes, stop spending.
Be wary of strong drink, for it can cause you to shoot at tax collectors-— and MISS...
Shooting tax collectors is an honorable American tradition. Pass it on to your children and grandchildren, unto the fifteenth generation!!!
(I think the first is Heinlein and the second started out as his til I modified it, filed off the serial numbers and claimed it for mine!)
One of the most difficult things to prove is intent. I can just imagine how easy it will now be for the IRS to prove intent.
There will be no end to this tyranny until DC is swept clean.
Also the first quote on my FR profile page.
In response to FDR's 'witchhunt'....
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not
bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic
duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is
nothing sinister in
so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it,
rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay
more than the law demands."
(US Appeals Court Justice the Honourable Learned Hand)
Couldn't this be challenged under the 13th Amendment?
Here's one - If you don't support democRats and 0bama, then your "motivation" for taking the tax deduction is wrong.
Clear enough?
It's not about the IRS proving intent; it's about you proving you didn't have the intent they accuse you of!
A hard-working person who tries to get ahead will have to purchase assets to get there, so he'll get whomped. Meanwhile, someone who inherits assets and is a lazy bum, not producing/earning much, gets taxed less.
People trying to get ahead shouldn't be the ones carrying the burden for those folks who "aleady have theirs," especially when those already having wealth have the most to lose if there were no governmental protections.

Do you believe that some of the best and brightest of the next greatest generation of college students will begin their higher ed experiences at a community college? Well, we do. That is why we reallocated over $7 million of scholarship funds and operating support at Bucknell University (Pa.) for a period of six academic years to facilitate the Bucknell Community College Scholars Program.
The renovation of an historic building in downtown Portland, formerly owned by the University of Oregon, has brought Portland Community College (Ore.) administrators together.
The national spotlight that shone on community colleges all year got a little brighter in the last quarter as new programs were announced and a White House Summit on Community Colleges was held.
"[Community colleges] are the unsung heroes of America's education system," said President Obama at the start of the October 5 summit. The event is a sign that his administration is working to change that. It brought together government representatives and community college leaders from around the country to discuss the sector's challenges.
Gov. Mitch Daniels recently implored Indiana's public college trustees to maximize efficiencies and cut administrative costs. Instead of coming to the "Statehouse asking for more money," as he stated, trustees should "stay back at the school and find ways to be more efficient with those dollars." As the president of Indiana's largest public college, I applaud the Governor for acknowledging how critical it is to manage costs as our state faces serious budget challenges. And we all have put some recent efforts in place, under the guidance of our trustees, to cut spending.
Nearly a decade ago, Oklahoma City Community College installed state-of-the-art administrative system technology from Datatel that linked its student, finance, and human resources information systems together. It worked wonderfully - until staff turnover and training lapses diminished its utility.
"Never in my life would I have expected community colleges to be called potential saviors of the economy," says George Boggs, president of the American Association of Community Colleges. "When the downturn started and people were being laid off, community colleges sent teams into companies to talk to workers about their options," he explains. The importance of community colleges progressed from there.
An art gallery with exposed brick walls displays works by faculty, students, alumni and local artists and has become a gathering spot for both the college and broader community.
Montgomery County Community College (Pa.) and the broader community benefit from adaptive reuse.
Although there are glimmers the recession could be ending, the unemployment rate is expected to stay high for some time to come. College enrollments will probably keep pace, especially at community colleges, where older adults looking to brush up their job skills are joined by traditional students looking to avoid high tuition for a few years.
