Especially poor people. Make sure they pay. Don't put an extra tax burden on people that actually use the government (system) like business and elites. Make EVERYONE pay. Yeah that's the ticket!
You want to exempt the first $10,000 in earnings for everyone? I could support that. Those that don't work clearly would pay nothing, but neither would most students, some seniors, etc, etc.
Make all child support and alimony taxable income for the recipient. Make it non-taxable for the 'donor'.

Yeah, I know, we got a music forum, but this is too good to languish over there where 3 or 4 of you fukks might see it in a week.
Probably the best cover I have ever seen. They absolutely kill it. Chicago prolly watches this and says, "damn, wish we could play it that well".
They are from Ukraine.
Smackie, go ahead and consider this a tune town request. Infact, I would like to see you throw together a "cover so fukking good it's scary" set. That is, if you ever do get over your TT hiatus. Slacker. :)

That was 1000X better sounding than most anything on the interwebs. I think I have listened to it 10 times, in stunned amazement everytime. The only thing that convinces me that it is not just them lipsyncing the original is the vocals are a little different and minor difference in guitar tone. Otherwise, it is absolutely spot on. The horn section is phenomenal. Fukk, it is all phenomenal.

I'll play it and agree it's a good cover for a tribute band, but as I've said, I prefer a cover that the band makes its own. This one is played almost note for note like the original, and the attempt is obviously to try to make it sound as indistinguishable from the original as possible except for stretching the guitar solo out a bit. But the quality and musicianship is good, the band is tight, and it sounds good, but no points for originality, which I'm sure is fine with them since they made no effort to be original.

Yeah, it is absolutely unoriginal and I do appreciate bands that put their own stamp on covers as well. I just posted these dudes because they did such an amazing job at being unoriginal. Of course I suspect there are thousands of studio musicians that could do the same in their sleep.

I suppose you'll break out some stats showing that black ice comprises only, like, 12% of all ice but is responsible for over half of ice-related traffic deaths. You're such a transparent icist.

This is literally the most Rochester thing you will ever see. They don't call Rochester Smugtown for nothing.
