  - This is why despite the distatefulness of it, I'm in favor of significantly lowering corporate tax rates. - pmb Oct 19, 14:17 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - I think lowering it to 15% or so is probably right. - pmb Oct 19, 14:26 7

        In the 60 Minutes piece it went to towns in Switzerland and Ireland where major US companies are "organized" to avoid US taxes. - pmb Oct 19, 14:32 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Probably not, but I think we're cutting off our nose to spite our face on this one. - pmb Oct 19, 14:36 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Agreed. But when you see GE paying $0 in federal income taxes, this is a big reason why. I suspect that we're leaving a huge amount on the table. - pmb Oct 19, 14:49
        
        except, it's not 35% of nothing. -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 14:38
  - maybe, maybe not. make it a city earners tax, but with a clause so only those making $x and over get taxed. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 14:06 11

        It was the financial sector I was thinking of. I know the UK is paranoid about losing its financial services sector due to tax increases on high - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 14:16
        
        on the other hand, there is a major investment bank who will shortly be ending their 15-year stay in Stamford to return to Manhattan... - znufrii Oct 19, 14:14 6
        
        but reading your post more closely, you actually do make that distinction... -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 14:15 1

Here's why you kill over capture when it's a populated area. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:00 [youtube] 43
- my thing is, if you can see to shoot them with a gun, you can see to shoot them with a tranq. - Andie Oct 19, 14:02 42
  - I don't think tranq guns have nearly the range of rifles either. I hate what's happened and tend to agree with you, but I have a hard time judging - pmb Oct 19, 14:14
  - We all agree it was pointless. We just disagree on who's at fault. I'm blaming the fucktard, you're blaming law enforcement. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:05 15
    - "I see one behind a tree!!!!! SHOOT IT!!! KILL KILL KILL!" -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 14:12 14
      - if the driveway to get to the property was 2-3 football fields long, and the video - ghouly Oct 19, 14:14 13
        
        The property was less than 4 miles from the center of Zanesville which has a population of 25,000. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:22 5
        
        for animals off the property, sure, shoot and kill them. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:28 4
        
        the drugs take 15-20 minutes to take effect, even with a good hit. it's not like in the movies. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 14:36 2
        
        and here's a tiger in India that evaded capture for several months, killed 8 people, and was finally trapped after being darted three times. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 14:40 1
        
        He can't go down with three barrels...not with three barrels on he can't. -- nm - Dr.Quint Oct 19, 14:41
        
        The cops were outnumbered by animals. Some were free but still clustered. You don't give them a chance to spread out. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:35
        
        Why do they have to say that? - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:15 6
        
        they are not gonna throw the police under the bus. nbm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:16 5
        
        I don't think they would be throwing them under the bus if they didn't agree with this; they'd be expertly saying what should happen - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:18 4
        
        I've met Hanna and heard him speak in person of his love for animals. If the cops were wrong he'd be telling you how. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:24 3
        
        yes, but the clip I saw of him, he did not look particularily informed of the details. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:29 2
        
        Have you ever seen him on Letterman? The guy is just like that. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:36 1
        
        yes, I have, and he looked like a guy who just got there and was briefed 10 minutes ago to the details. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:41
  - but the first responders did not have tranqs. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:03 24
    - The truck of backup officers that arrived soon after didn't bring tranqs; they brought assault rifles. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 14:08 8
      - Well, it's a lion and tiger infestation...I don't want a pistol. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:14 3
        
        they're just kitty cats! throw them a ball of yarn. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:14 2

        ha ha. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 14:15
      - because every police department is fully equipped with tranqs and nets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:09 2
        
        the important thing is... -- (link) - TFox Oct 19, 14:10 [Backboard] 1
        
        it was funny. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:11
      - THEY'RE COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!!!!! NM -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:08
    - fine. as i said on the BB, i don't believe they could have captured them all. impossible. - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:04 14
      - Oh noes! We've turned her back into Frankenstandie! -- nm - Qale Oct 19, 14:09 1
        
        heh, i alternate between hsxtt and slickertalk at work, depends which one i clicked. :) -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:10
      - And the zoo employees who do this professionally disagree. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 14:05 10
        
        i get that. i get that some had to die. i still do NOT believe that they all did. exotic animals have escaped before. - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:08 9
        
        throw down a dead cow carcass, and tranq them. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:11 8
        
        As a point of reference, the farm was 4 miles from downtown Zanesville. Hardly a thriving Metropolis, but still a town of 25,000. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:19 2
        
        I wonder when this will be made into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg. - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 14:24
