[QUOTE="rcdinaz, post: 637772, member: 31581"] Now that we are on too politics and taxes this should probably be moved to the general discussion thread. In regards to the scope price topic I have checked prices in Europe, electronics in China, and Japan and you wold be surprised for high quality products the prices are not enough of an advantage to beat a supper sale here in the U.S. If you will accept cheap products or hit the grey market then the prices change drastically. I have checked Swaro, Sony, Apple, Samsung, market leader type products and the deals were not especially great. Now things such as textiles and low tech items can be had for a steal. The one thing I will point out is the rich & tax debate ends up being a pretty foolish one. There just are not enough of the so called rich to take care of everyone's proposed problems, it makes more sense for an individual to take care of their own challenges since blaming others is always counter productive to completing a goal even if you are right. Taxes = Government, as gov has grown we have higher taxes allowing for more "tax incentives" for the so called rich (actually specific/special interest) which is the case with pretty much any form of gov regardless of the party etc. If you want truly lower taxes you have to have less gov and less gov organizations, all are included. Our favorite gov groups increase the needs for taxes period no matter how much we like what they do. So until/if/ever people decide they can expect less from their gov the cost and taxes are not changing anytime soon, last I checked the IRS, Whitehouse, DOE, DOL, EPA, DOJ, Homeland Security and on and on have all grown. Ohhh wait the DOD and their expense has been reduced so there is one, not that the DOD would be one that would give you the warm and fuzzies to see go. [/QUOTE]
