Ken Ham is ripping of Kentucky again:

[Stevicus]

Is there a buffet?

I think they have a cafe.

 

[Revoltingest]

I think they have a cafe.

Where they serve etoufee.

 

[ChristineM]

But convincing the spouse that one is 100% honest,
while eschewing the 1% which would cause discord
is indeed a hard won skill.

Men eh???

 

[Revoltingest]

Men eh???

With time, we sometimes learn.

 

[ChristineM]

With time, we sometimes learn.

Some do, some dont want to.

Election time will be just around the corner...

True, but I don't expect this to change.

I think they have a cafe.

Cafes are nice. Still, a buffet, you can really load up. It fits the crowd that Ken is catering to. Strange he doesn't have one on the ark. I mean, all those animals available, should be lots of entrees to choose from if there was a buffet. They could call it the Captain's Mess, Ark Buffet. That would be a great name. I should send him and his marketing guys an email about it.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Where they serve etoufee.

Would they be able to serve etoufee and keep the atmosphere authentic? I mean, they did not take shellfish on the ark. Then there is the unclean things laws that weren't revealed or in effect yet, but still somehow known and followed. Besides, all the seafood got wiped out.

There is always chicken, since seafood is out.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

So the taxpayer remains screwed.

It is the perpetual burden of the tax payer to remain in that condition.

 

[David1967]

True.

"Should be worth"?
That's not how real estate appraisals work.
It's about analyzing what they "are worth".

How would you like to pay income tax based
upon what the IRS thinks you should be earning?
See the problem?

But no one has a duty to pay tax based upon an illegally high assessment.
In this case, there's disagreement about value.
Looks like it'll be settled in court.
(Here, tax tribunals precede court.)

Tribunal. That sounds friendly. I would derive a great deal of comfort going before a tribunal for anything.

Child support is often based on what the court thinks you should be making. At least in the cases where the person paying support loses a job and cannot find one that pays the same. It is that person's burden to show that they have not found a position with equivalent pay and even then the support obligation may not change.

Noah’s Ark Encounter: Kentucky park should pay higher taxes, suit says

Ken Ham has undervalued his Ark Park by a factor of almost three. Isn't it amazing how some creationists do not follow the teachings of Jesus.

I'd say the factor is one million, since it's priceless to see atheists get upset by it. Go Kentucky!

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Multiple taxation is normal.
What really should be watched is what incentives taxation poses.

We used to have something here called the Single Business Tax.
It was based upon fed tax, but payroll costs were added back
to income. This incentivized getting rid of employees because
the expenses weren't deductable. Bad move in a state with
employment problems, eh.

I know it is normal, I have just never understood how it was legal. I have had some smart people try to explain it to me. I probably should find a bookie and have him or her explain it. They might be able to make some sense of it.

Our leaders come up with such grand and productive schemes that are the benefit of all.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Why would people lying for Jesus make you happy? That really should make you sad. Plus Ham is a first rate conman. That he has taken in so many of your faith should make you angrier at him than atheists are.

One could make a nice gumbo with chicken. Of course the Andouille sausage might be a problem.

I can just see the court telling a building owner....
"You should've paid twice as much for that building.
So your assessment will be based upon that."

It's legal because it isn't illegal.
I paid tax on the income I used for paying Social Security tax,
& then I pay tax on the benefits I receive. Double taxation is
very common.
Another nasty tax is capital gains.
Suppose....
You buy a property for $1 in 1970.
Inflation runs 7% per year.
You sell it for $2 in 1980.
You're taxed for $1 profit.

But the $2 you got in 1980 are the exact same
value as that $1 in 1970. You pay tax on currency
devaluation, ie, rise in nominal value because it
takes more dollars to to compensate for lost value
of the dollar.

So, everyone is upset because he want to pay less tax. Don't we all feel the same way? How how about churches themselves? I think they pay no tax. Why not try to change that?

The lying is representing a story about perceived value, which is different than actual value, as used in tax reporting.

Why does lying about Christians make YOU happy? I rarely ask you a question anymore, because instead of straight answers, you spout ad hom attacks, you know, like you're doing now against Ken Ham. YOU READ HIS MIND AND KNOW he's not an honest Creationist, he MUST be a liar.

That's closer to SLANDER than and ad hom to me and I'm unsure how you avoid an RF ban, you could bring down legal implications if Mr. Ham read the things you make up about his character--I won't tell him, but you should definitely lighten up on your lies.
