Funny, I didn't call you stupid, but you obviously feel you are by your guilty conscience.

You simply can't justify taxing more because you have no idea how much tax is actually needed. You just have a hatred for those who have been successful for some odd reason. Probably because you know if you could get to where they are, you would not do anything different than they do.

It makes zero sense to raise tax when you admit there is waste in what is being spent now.

I'm absolutely with you, in that the government should first start looking to cut spending before they start digging into my pockets for more, but it's not a matter of IF they need more. It's how much.

My question is simple,

I wonder how many of the thousands of people who have already lost their jobs, and the thousands of those who are going to lose their jobs due to layoffs, voted for President Obama?

I wonder if they would have reconsidered their votes if they realized their jobs were at stake?

It's no longer "Ask what you can do for you're country?", it's "Hey country, what are you going to give me?"

It's a shame that this point has finally come where there are more people who want the government to take care of them, than there are people who actually believed in "The American Dream".

These laws have regressed taxes so that middle class people pay a much higher percentage of their income than do the wealthy. Is it fair that one man pays taxes on all his income because he does physical labor, but a propspector pays much less money on income from his investments? Yeah, that would be a no.

As for your little attempt at understanding me, the only thing you have right is my disdain for the wealthy - because a very high percentage of them have had it handed to them. Anybody that has actually "built it" without any help has my respect - but then there aren't alot of people that pulled themselves up by their bootstras now are there? The sperm lottery winners have and keep control, but according to this election - that is all slipping away now isn't it? And that's why the Republican establishment is going out of their fricken minds right now - and I'm loving every minute of it.

fiscal cliff 


There is what is going to happen Jan 1 which talks about all of the tax hikes coming for everyone of us. How they will be cutting unemployment back to just the 26 weeks, which in turn will kick millions of people off of unemployment. Ahhhh just read the article talking about what is going to run this country into nothing.


As far as the Canadian healthcare and being 40 was just an example and was taken wrong. Basically the idea of if you are older and have a non curable disease you won't get the help. They would rather use the money to help someone where it will help.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

How in the hell is democracy suppose to work in a society where women literally have to cover their faces in public. It's a total snowjob and it is time to bring those young men and women home.

Why don't they start with cutting back the salaries and benefits for the government employees aka President and congress and the senate? Take away there life time money and college funds for the kids and grandkids. Or even why all the private jets for these officials, make them fly like everyone else on a public plane. Remember the auto bailout and everyone was throwing a fit how the ceos were flying private jets, well the government is basically a huge company so start with the employees.

Ok just a thought cuz we know it won't happen.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
