Maybe BV can back me up based on his opinion (and if it's different than mine, you are an emo fag )
If you create a secure infrastructure to support voting (no just put up a website called votehere.gov) then use the appropriate measures to ensure one vote per registration like a security token system, then take it one step further and include a time sync for each persons vote as a key pair, I would say that is far more secure than showing up at the YMCA, flashing a fake ID and pulling a lever. Or worse yet like the hack with the Diebold machines where valid votes are converted to anything but the original.
It's really no different than the absentee system when it gets right down to it. And just like the absentee system, not everyone would want to do it online, but it should also be an option for those who do.
After seeing how easy it was to hack the Diebold system and then seeing how insecure and secret squirrel their operation was, I have little faith in the electronic machines in use.

this is where i'm at.
there are too many ethical hackers who could quickly & effectively demonstrate a standardized system couldn't both be easy to use and secure.
Aren't virtually all business operating expenses deductable? Thus income is not the same as gross receipts and you don't pay taxes on it?
I'm not 100% sure myself I just know that a lot of operating expenses are deductable and it was my impression that it would not affect a lot of small businesses because their actual net income is much, much lower than their gross receipts.
I'm not an expert on Obama's tax policy, but it seemed to me "Individuals who make $250k". So for Intel, Andy Grove makes $1 a year salary, not unlike Steve Jobs. But then if you consider his dividends as income, he makes far more than that.
But a small business, much like a guy here at work has with his wife, the business makes over $1M a year, but after paying for the space, salaries, operating costs, and other things, she makes less than what he pulls as a software engineer ($80k a year?). So as a business owner, her taxes wouldn't go up, neither would the employees.
Now if they expand, increase sales, blah, blah, blah and she takes home $300k, THEN her taxes would go up.
At least that's my understand based on a breakdown of JTP and his $250k business.
