Default Theres just something very special about a girl who really loves cars....

You seem like a smart girl, Jessica. How about you post a picture of yourself and your s4? I think the boys would appreciate it.

Default OK Here's the problem I think!!

I don't read every single post that runs across this board, some may but I don't. The statement the Jessica made refers to nothing about here "Tennis Career". It mentions nothing about who the doctor might be other than he was killed in a plane crash. Her comments would come across to those who know nothing about her as bragging and such. It sounds as though these material things she appears to speak freely about are everywhere and that may have sparked a little of the tension here. I feel bad for my comments and would withdrawl them if I could, after hearing the bigger picture from Matt, whom I usually give nothing but a hard time, I agree with him that some of the comments are a bit out of line.<p></FONT><A HREF="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=5624"><IMG SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/image1-small.jpg" WIDTH=117 HEIGHT=88 BORDER=0>

Default The estate tax exists to (1) provide employment to attorneys & (2) tax the rich that don't hire one

Most rich people that properly plan their estate far enough in advance can avoid a very significant portion of the estate tax. It only penalizes those that don't plan things out enough. In that regard, it is extremely inequitable. The super rich all avoid it. The people that die with a low 7-figure estate end up paying it.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/LCPawsig1.jpg">

Default you are absolutly right (more!!)

the fact that you mention "Her comments would come across to those who know nothing about her as bragging and such." says it all. To those people that know NOTHING ABOUT HER!!!!! stop making judgements about some that you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!! if you want to make a judement about something judge me for being soooo ****ing stupid that i can not learn to spell. everyone here knows that, so with some certianty you can make a comment that doesn't make you sound like a moron!!!

and adam i kinda like you today!! ;-)

Default Rude, jealous? Maybe, but certainly inappropriate...

for Audi World. This forum is not for you to moan about how other people live their lives. Send it in private email or keep it to yourself.

The source is the federal government. That info came out at tax time.

Default Here's another URL, and a few final points:

http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/09/07/debt.clock/index.html

Three points, and I'm shutting up.

1) the US Government is currently 5.7 TRILLION dollars in debt. This breaks down to almost $74,000 for every US family.

2) payment on the interest ALONE of this debt costs taxpayers around $300 million--almost 1/4 of the ENTIRE Government budget--each year.

3) given 1) and 2), I would argue that big tax cuts shouldn't be a high priority, but rather paying down this debt, so that our grandchildren don't have to.

But hey, what can I say? I'm fiscally responsible, and believe that Government should be too...so, shoot me.<p>'00 S4
