I don't know about what's it's like over there, but in this universe, words mean things.
Yes, they do, and whether you like it or not "zero out capital gains tax" means the same thing as "no tax on capital gains."

Deal with it.

I used common sense for that. What is your excuse?
No, you didn't. "Convicted" is not the same thing as "innocent", how does that grab you? Conviction logically follows being proven guilty. And guilty is the opposite of innocent, at least on my planet. -- Mr. Sam: member, talk.politics.misc troll patrol channel operator, #Sci-Fi - Undernet IRC sci-fi/fantasy channel http://www.cyberstorm.com/~rockd/sci-fi.html _____________________________________________________________________________ "Government is not a solution to our | "First of all, keep in mind that most problem, government IS the problem." | of our problem is with working -- R.
