It's simple. The cartoon means that if the administration had spent more money on health care, Saddam would have stopped killing Shi'ites and Katrina wouldn't have happened. Thanks Leakui, I was afraid of lsoing sleep on this one. Thanks for clearing it up for me. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" b
Here's a pretty easy to read definition of Trickle Down economics. Link Sure Gene, it's not near as fun as the class warfare you advocate, but much more effective.
Gene: The problem with the taxing the rich to death is as follows. Giving the government more money to spend is not going to solve anything. It will not create jobs, it will not lower the deficit, it will not end poverty. If you want to solve the problems, make the tax rate even, put more money into the hands of the people and guess what they will do? They will EMPLOY people. Sure, the government employs many people, but we all foot the bill.
Looking at the reasons WHY would not produce the simple answer - It is the fault of the poor that they are poor. These storms have shown just how many poor there are in this country and how little these people have to meet the BASIC needs of life. We should to help all the poor except for the LACK OF WILL group. Even the people i
As to your comment that 'liberalism' runs amok in Britain, you again betray your ignorance. Liberalism, as it was originally formulated by thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, was a philosophical doctrine advocating liberty of the individual and a State confined to the maintenance of domestic peace and the deterrence of
I think not, and you nitpicking about my colorful language is such a sissified display of anal retentiveness and obession with the insignificant, it makes me wonder if you are a man at all, "gentleman" aside. Sorry, for the delay between replies, my so
Glad I could expand your horizons. I've picked up quite a few colorful words from my British Hubby, like twat, twit, sot, pillock, tart, slapper, slattern, hussy, bint, slag, gobshite, toe-rag, eejit, chav, peasant, proletarian, pleb, poofter, swish, nancy-boys, and the much loved BOLLOCKS!! No, no LW,
Hey clown.....live anywhere near Pittsburgh,PA? No, I'm in Atlanta, but my dad's family is in McKeesport. I have to say that now you remind me of that famous
No matter which waste of skin we send to represent us, they end up representing their party. That's why I always tell people that you simly cannot vote for the "man", vote for the lesser evil of the parties. If, God forbid, Hillary changed parties tomorrow, I would still vote for the republica
You spew this and then wonder "why" I continue to stick up for the ladies here? It don't take much of a "man" to talk to or about "any" woman like this. Only a coward would do that. Whew drmiler, I had the honor of
Did you look at the link whip? The definition of you was it not?
Your right drmiler, I do get these wenches mixed up, but they are both so far up each other's asses, I need not differentiate. And after all is said and done, you sir, have still not touched on any of the issues. That still stands, regardless of
Actually, I have to admit that I am unsure what the rate should be, but the rate should be equal.
I'm in favor of a 3 tiered flat tax. 5% for those living at or under the poverty line, 10% for the overwhelming majority of the country, and 15% for the "very" wealthy, perhaps those making 500k per year or more. No deductions. No loopholes. No shelters. No deferred taxes. Flat rate right out of your paycheck or profit mar
Okay dammit, that does it, while I am a staunch supporter, Bush has simply crossed the line with this one. He has officially lost my vote.
Yeah, the link works fine. So does this one: Link (Large file, give it time) And guess what, they did not have to be a "photoshop" genius to "create" this video.
Now suffer your consequences in silence! I mean seriously, I just don't what to think of this. At first I laughed, but then it got kinda spooky. I feel like I'm at the dinner table and my dad is telling me to eat my vegetables.
And btw you are as bad as your sister. When replying, do try and keep track of "who" you're replying to. And you drmiler, are worse than my sister. <TD c
Since it is somewhat topical and as I am banned from Tex's post about how elitist people like me encourage welfare, I'd like to make an observation here. To the weak minded I may be an encouragemnet to over spend and therefore pepatuate their life on welfare. But to the right person, my family would be an inspiration to wo
Perhaps you're scared that your children will despise you so much when they're grown that they wont give you the time of day. Fortunately, my parents will probably never need my help, but if they ever did, whats mine is theirs, and
And you think that the benefits we get come easy? That it's a freakin' cake walk? YOU go get shot at and bombed every day, you spend years separated from your home and your family....then you tell me that what we've got comes easy. That is why I apologized and said I was not referring to you, I
Wait, I'm sorry dharmagrl, you are military as well right? Well you are in the same boat as Tex. Why are you we even discussing this? You have benefits that, while well deserved, make this conversation pointless. As my sister pointed out (although later deleted by Tex) your benefits package is such that most civilians could not comprehend. You don't have to worry about health care at retirement, it's provided
This si simple, no one, not drmiler, not baker, not whip, not Tex, not dharmagrl, none of you have addressed the issue of quality of life on 35k. The issue of preparing for your childs continuing education. Link The issue of retirement (well not you Tex): How much do you think you'll need? Here's an art
Yeah, and I have more experience than your sister, and I'm telling you Tex is right. Your sister tangled with me last night, and she backed off. Whatcha got now, dude? My sister was blacklisted and her post deleted, that's different from backing off. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" ali
Actually, I agree that Bush has been too fiscally liberal. On this we agree, Tex. It's called "buying some black votes."<B
