It would have to be my opinion because I know they dont keep those kind of stats. Lol
Pretty much all of the questions relating to facts can be found online. The problem is knowing how to ask the question. I googled 'Comfort Latch' a few minutes ago because I need one for the seat belt in my truck. I got a wealth of info on breast feeding...NOT what I needed. Took another 5 minutes for me to find out I want a 'Komfort Latch'. When you want the name of a book or place or to know how to solve a math problem, it can be hard to explain to a computer. People, on the other hand, understand words like 'thingy' and dont insist on correct spelling before they give you the answer (they just make dang sure you know you didnt spell it right-lol)
Many of the questions here are opinion and advice questions. A lot of them are basic repeats but the details are different. And the people are different so the advice is too.
Weeding out the questions of people just trying to stir up a fight and people just wanting to be heard, Id say about 45% are good and legit. 40% are people not knowing how to look up what they want to know. 10% are idiots trying to start something and 5% are perverts trolling and trying to get turned on.

labken -- I do comprehend out of your different postings which you're anti-Ron Paul, so not sure in case you made your end earlier looking out the solutions to questions like the single you're asking right here. besides, Ron Paul's tax plan isn't only excise taxes. this is that AND person expenses. person expenses, examples: a million. The Federal tax on gas is how the government pays for roads (R.Paul spoke of that it quite is abused, they assemble greater beneficial than what's mandatory for roads, and use the surplus for different unrelated issues.) 2. Passport expenses - you pay a cost for the appliance and beaurocracy 3. Stamps - pay to run the positioned up workplace / mail provider 4. Federal expenses on your airline tickets: pay for air site visitors administration .. an astonishing kind of those are just some examples of person expenses that are at the instant in result. Then excise taxes conceal accepted expenses not lined by ability of person expenses. the accepted result grew to become into quoted in some interviews. earnings tax represents 40% of all federal sales at the instant accumulated. Ron Paul plans to get rid of this completely. So result: Federal sales drops 40% Federal spending is cut back 50% (Ron Paul recommends reducing it in 0.5) Spending would be cut back greater beneficial than taxes, ultimate out the deficit. Now human beings would disagree with this: while you're a socialist and desire great government. classes, you ought to not vote for Ron Paul. additionally, in case you think we ought to constantly have great militia campaigns, you ought to vote for somebody else. yet his financial coverage would not recommend any variety of deficit, or any variety of unsound scam to make human beings experience good. there is not something imprecise approximately what he needs to do, in case you only learn the significant factors. it quite is fairly close-minded to think of that governments can't exist with taxing earnings. Many states interior the U. S. have not have been given any earnings tax: e.g. Nevada (final I heard they have been booming), NH, WY, Alaska, Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington ... and previous to 1913, earnings tax grew to become into not even area of the U. S. shape.
