We did not even have an income tax till 1913. Did people survive? Hell yeah, they did.
Nah, I'm good. You're the one who isn't happy with the way we do things in THIS country.

While I'm sure that 1913 was great time, the economy of that era is so far removed from what we have today that it's irrelevant.

You may think that comment is irrelevant but Obama's reverse racism is not. I cannot believe more people are not ticked off by this blatant crap.

That's sad, really really sad. The platform he ran on, which was Unite One and All, and Hope n' Change is garbage!

I didn't find moving_pains commenting on the U.S. not having income tax until 1913 irrelevant; I found it illogical to compare the U.S. of 1913, with its relatively little infrastructure and slow moving economy, with the current fast-paced and highly dynamic world economy, and the taxes collected to sustain said eras. Also, while there may have been no income tax, taxes were definitely collected.

As far as Obama being racist, I can assure you that the people whom believe Obama has been racist are either hypersensitive or looking to *****. If Obama were truly racist we wouldn't have a few people trying to convince the rest of us that he's racist, we would have a majority of us trying to convince a few. In the U.S. we have a long history of open and legal racism; if anyone can recognize racism it's Americans. Obama is not a racist.

So by your reasoning it would be perfectly ok for Romney to pitch a video to White Americans exactly like Obama's but with whites only in the video?

I would need that video to judge. But, from every pro-Obama video I have seen, none have been racist. Misleading, possibly, but not racist. Not even close.

*Just a reminder, Obama is white. He's black, too. But, he is white. I'd be willing to bet the farm that he's not racist against himself or his quarter-white kids.

You better hold on tight to your imaginary farm. You might consider him white but I don't and either does he.

Racists have a way of looking for racism in others with hopes of justifying their own racism.

If that's the case, we're all racists.

One would have to be pretty stupid to not recognize racism when they see (or feel) it.

Obama is the Racist-In-Chief.
