Gentlemen, I suspect an agent provocateur of a sort, in Mr V Kmetz. A literary foil, and someone's hoax to draw out a contrasted discussion to attempt to bring out the great debate of the occupy movement, and an election year trick to try and draw unsuspecting folks into a debate on the merits of all these ideologies.
Mr. Kmetz, even in your student poverty you have a camera or cell phone cam; I request that you go to your caddieshack or whatever they have at WF or just the front door to the clubhouse, and cell phone a photo of yourself with a current NY Times front page clearly in focus. Then post it! If you don't know how, e-mail it to me and I'll post it for you.
Should this be the hoax I suspect, it may on one level be a funny story all us GCA.com cronies have a drink over at some future convocation of our elite golfing clubsters. On the other hand, it may cause some troubling questions as to how far some would go to manipulate political discussion under a false cover to lamely make some half truth propaganda points.
Perhaps it is the old copper in me, and perhaps I know and have seen these sort of counter measures of agent provocateur methods employed by a fearful establishment before. But, I ask you to consider some to V Kmetz's ramblings about his harried life as an stereotyped university post grad in search of academic validation, and all that irrelevant 'stuff' of the ivory tower rigorous pursuits of liberal arts fine arts studies interjected into long essays of phony class warfare talking points.
As for these Mucci-esque series of half baked tax law distortions and laughable anxt that guys who hang with Mucci are paying 65% effective rates on their incomes, if you believe that, you should be taxed for gullibility! On one hand Pat quotes the Supreme on how it iis darn near your patriotic duty to ply all the lobbied tax favoritism that only the upper ranges of wealth can buy, and on the other he claims that all those breaks are to no avail and how these same folks are being decimated by the lowest tax rates in modern history. GMAFB!
Where is Tax Attorney extraordinare, Mr. Goldstein when you need him to add a little fact to these teahadist fantasies.
But, you go V Kmetz, I highly suspect you are a phantom... and many idealists on both sides have been had.
