You're posting in a thread about a multi-millionaire who pays less tax than most cleaners and pretending that tax avoidance doesn't happen. You're either hopelessly naive or deliberately ignorant.

He doesn't pay income tax. He isn't avoiding taxes. He is paying the lawful amount of tax set by the United States government. He makes his money from investments. Learn the facts. The only one being ignorant to the facts is you. Working income taxes are a different rate from investment income taxes. He didn't avoid anything. He paid what he was suppose to. If you have a problem with taxes being less for investments income, take it up with your congressmen/representative. Like I said, just because you don't know the tax system....

Feel free to add me. You know what point I was making. To deny that point or ignore it merely puts you in the same camp.

I was hoping you were more intelligent than that. Once again I am taught that hope is usually a futile exercise.

Edit - He admitted it was playing the race card...which only proves my point. So you ignore me for supposedly falsely accusing someone of playing the race card, when they admit to it.

Now that's why I call burying your head in the sand. Oh well.

You were making the point that using his middle name is racist. He admited to it, after that fact. You pulled the race card before he admitted to it. Your assumption being right doesn't change that you are a reverse racist. You have been all over neowin calling people racists. At one point someone broke down his economic policy and you called the person a racist for doing it. It's pathetic.

People who don't pay their taxes.

:laugh: Yea right. they pary less percentage of taxes, but STLL PAY! is it "equal" ? No, but to deny that they don't pay is ludicrous.

1. honestly i couldnt care less if using a middle name of some guy is playing the race card. i have ennough of this. because during the primaries and election weeks, so many people here were playing down on mitts religion, his success in private sector or his moderate politics as gov. of massachusetts. so its just payback nothing else.

2. @Charisma no democrat? ok, there are besides democrats only one other group bashing romney all the time. the gingrich and santorum wing of the republican party. and they are even worse than obama.

3. i think mitt has had an amazing life + career and therfore everyone can learn a bit about it. even obama considers asking mitt romney to contribute to his cabinett because he has so much experience and success. saved the olympics and so on...

1. No comment. I'm not that stupid.

2. Yea, two party system FTW! :rollseyes: I'm neither democrat or republican OR even "indepent" which is in itself a farce, but that is another discussion.

3. He has! Millions + shipping oversees. Yes we can learn! What about Glass-Steagall? What was his stance on that? I don't know about the olympics so I can't comment. I try to call it "down the middle" a.k.a. as it REALLY is. Both suck, period.

Great comeback. Well thought out rebuttal. I am swayed to your side.

The CEO of my company is a millionaire making him part of the 1%. He pays his taxes. Your entire thought that they don't pay their taxes is just dumb. Bill Gates pays taxes. He lets the whole world see it. Or is that a lie to according to your conspiracy theories?

Not at all. If the POTUS went by his middle name then I wouldn't have said a word.

It's well established that people who ignore his first name & immediately use his middle name do so entirely to provoke an emotional connection since his middle name happens to be the same last name as Saddam Hussein. It's an ******* move used in order to get away with playing the race card. This isn't something I'm making up, it's been done since before he was even elected as POTUS. Once again to deny that, is to put your head in the sand.

Show me a spot where I called someone a racist for breaking down the economic policy. Show me where I did that...after all you remember that I did it...so proving it should be a simple matter.

I don't expect you to prove it btw...and you'll have some convenient excuse why you can't. I'm willing to bet I'll just also end up adding you to my ignore list, since I don't expect you'll be able to provide said proof.

I don't care to prove anything to anyone. It's been proven many times over that you are a reverse racist and at this point its old. Someone who uses any excuse to call everyone else racist is just pathetic. Whats sad is that you don't even realize because you have been brainwashed by the left into thinking anything that doesn't agree with the left is nothing but racist. No reason to post links. Anyone can do a quick search and see that in almost everything political thread, there you are calling someone racist for things that have nothing to do with race.

Wow. I gave you far too much credit. I thought you'd at least come up with an excuse...but you went with the even lazier route of shouting something akin to "because I said so...and yeah...and so yeah I uh...yeah."

Sorry, but you don't get a prize. I proved that he was playing a race card, and now you're calling me a racist, but without any attempt to even provide proof.

BTW if you think I follow the left or the right you miss the point of who I am. I don't like either side...since picking a specific side means closing off the ability to think.

The fact that you believe there are only 2 paths just shows how much you don't know...oh well...ignored.

Funny how I never said there are only two paths, that honor goes to you. Every single political thread you are defending your savior and saying anyone who doesn't trust in him is a racist. According to you, only the left path is the correct path and anything else is nothing but racism. Have fun being racist on your own. Everyone here can clearly see it ovr all the political threads. Or can't you remember your own posts? You didn't prove he played the race card. You assumed, and he admitted to it. Him admitting to it is irrelevant. What is releveant is you assume anyone that isn't pro Obama is racist because you have a single train of thought that you are stuck on.

Look like many scream at rich people. So here is quick question. What stops you to become rich like them? Why can you be successful businessman and become millionaires?

Like people who always complain about doctors. Why don't you become a doctor, so you can provide free services to people? ...

This probably wasn't pointed at me since I don't hate rich people...but I can comment on doctors.

The only reason I didn't become a doctor is due to myoclonic jerks caused by epilepsy. I haven't had a seizure in years...but still have the damn random jerks.

No one has been able to tell me if it is directly related to the epilepsy, or if it is due to brain damage caused by early childhood seizures...which is part of why I don't drive. It boils down to 2 reasons.

1. The random odd jerk could cause an accident.

2. There is still the chance of a recurrence of the actual seizures at any point...so I also don't trust me behind that wheel for that reason.

It really sucks because it limits a ton of job options...doctor being one of them. :(

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
