****OOOPS! (4/4/08) Commentors guffpot and
DavidSChandler caught a couple errors I made
during my RedBull-fueled exposition. guffpot
correctly pointed out that I compared 200 years
vs. 300 million years incorrectly. Those two
numbers are apples and oranges, because the carbon
we transfer from the ground to the air in 200
years was not stored over a period of 300 million
years--it was stored FOR 300 million years, and
but was actively sequestered over a time period
probably much shorter. Really, it would be more
proper to compare the 200 years it's taking us to
transfer from the ground to the air to the time
period it took to transfer it from the air to the
ground. If anyone can find a credible figure for
that, please message me directly, and I'll include
it here.
DavidSChandler caught that I was off by a factor
of 100 in my scale model comparison of 200 years
to 300 million years. If my line on the board is
200 years, then 300 million years ago would be
about 10 miles--not 1000 miles--to the left.
Turns out I forgot to convert from cm to m in my
quick calculation. My bad. It's especially
ironic because I'm constantly warning my students
against making that same exact mistake! Ha! The
joke's on me. I guess it just goes to show
you--you can always be wrong. . .******

AN ISSUE THAT LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES CAN AGREE
WITH!!!
Mike Huckabee is a supporter and a leader in the
FAIRTAX(tax reform) and that is why John McCain
should pick Mike Huckabee for Vice President!!!
Call McCain's office at 703-418-2008 and let him
know you want the FAIRTAX and Mike Huckabee for
Vice President!
A MUST READ!!! A brief summary of the FAIRTAX
A. The FAIRTAX will eliminate income taxes,
withholding, self-employment taxes, bonus taxes,
overtime taxes, social security taxes, medicare
taxes, alternative minimum taxes, estate taxes,
gift taxes, corporate taxes, capital gain taxes,
small business taxes, and replace it with a 23%
sales tax. Plus it will give each American
household that are citizens a rebate check based
on the poor necessities of life. It will also
abolish the 16th admendment and prevent the
government from taxing us twice!
B. Its Fair because for example if you are rich
and you buy a $20,000 rolex watch you pay more in
taxes but the same percentage as someone buying a
$95.00 fossil watch so it is fair for the rich and
the poor that may one day become rich.
C. The FAIRTAX is Fair for the poor and middle
class because of the rebate check. Under the
FAIRTAX there is no taxes on necessity items
(food, clothing, water etc), but it is not a
necessity to have a party and to buy lots of food
or to go on a shopping spree and buy lots of
cloths. That is the purpose of the FAIRTAX rebate
checks, and the size of the rebate check depends
on the size of your household. For example base on
2004 estimates: Single person Annual Consumption
Allowance(ACA) is $9,310 and will receive a rebate
of $2,254 per year / a Couple ACA is $12,490 and
will receive a rebate of $4,508 per year/ Couple
with one child ACA is $16,090 and will receive a
rebate of $5,290 per year/ Couple with two
children ACA is $19,350 will receive a rebate of
$6,072 per year. The FAIRTAX will untaxed the
poor and allow the poor and middle class to make
money without being penalize for making to much
money. The current tax system penalize your
ability to make money when you work overtime,
receiving a bonus, move up from one tax bracket to
another, working two jobs etc.
D. The FAIRTAX will give all Americans the ability
to pay down debt faster. With the FAIRTAX you
will keep your full paycheck and you only pay
taxes only when you buy something. HAVING YOUR
FULL PAYCHECK WILL ALLOW YOU TO PAY OFF DEBT
FASTER!
E. The current tax system tax you base on your
income and quadrant (if you are an employee, small
business owner, investor, corporation). The
employee and small business owner get hit the
hardest in taxes, and it puts are government in a
powerful position that chooses the winners and
losers of the tax system. That is one main reason
why there are 34,000 lobbyist that lobby 535
congressmen in Washington. Are Elected officials
are acting like kings that receives gifts from
lobbyist in exchange of relief in the tax system
for their corporation, and OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS
EXPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT
THE LOBBIST IN WASHINGTON. The FAIRTAX will
eliminate the confusion that our elected officials
have on who they should be representing
F. The FAIRTAX will remove all the tax loop holes
that millionaires and billionaires enjoy because
they are able to pay for the best tax lawyers, the
best tax accountant and the best lobbyist that
remove their tax burdens every year. The current
tax system taxes based on income produce not
wealth assets. I am a Capitalist but it is not
capitalism when the government can choose who the
winners and losers are going to be and it is not
capitalism when the current tax system taxes one
group of people better than another. For one
example Bill Gates is worth over $47billion if he
does not produce an income this year in the eyes
of the current tax system Bill Gates is just as
poor as the homeless living under a bridge! The
FAIRTAX will remove this nonsense. If the FAIRTAX
was implemented than Bill Gates will be taxed
based on what he buys no more loop holes.

and Mike Huckabee for Vice President!
MIKE HUCKABEE FOR VICE PRESIDENT!!!!
