Surprisingly, even Bono gets it on not taxing business!

[Horizonite]

I really don't give a flip what Bono thinks. He should just stick to playing music.

[Hyperthetic]

Tax individuals, not PERSONS!

That way, individuals won't have so much of a "personal" life.

'Bono Needs to Pay Up' - WSJ



Please don't idolize famous people who say what they feel you want to hear when they fail to follow up on it themselves.

Oh, I agree. I don't idolize him, whatsoever. The point I'm making is what a flagrant hypocrite he is. He spews talking points like a lefty class-warrior, but avoids paying his share of taxes.

But let's eliminate the context and try to apply his words to the US, a country that has both scale, natural resources, and NO problem attracting people, eh?

Oh, so all of the sudden it's not rational to directly compare other countries with the U.S.?

Remember that when involved in a gun debate or a health care debate, ok?

Actually, you don't have to bother remembering it. I will, and I'll make sure that you don't forget.
