the education level in liberal states means nothing because in these states everybody gets a passing grade,yea there very smart!!not I will give the per capita in liberal states. is higher .that is because most are working for the government. since the government is using everyone else's money they don't care how much they pay out.some cities in California have official making 5hundred thousand dollar any normal cities that same person might be making 80 thousand dollars.that is what I call stealing some people think because they can steal they are smart not so

Not true. Services funded by taxpayers when it comes to "entitlement programs" are not available to society at large but only to specific populations, many, if not most of whom, have not paid any taxes at all. It is a system of unequal distributions from the producers to the non-producers (sometimes parasites).

The government does with the IRS what the thief does at gunpoint. The thief faces prosecution if caught, the government does so under threat of further taxation with relatively little accountability to the citizen taxpayer or recourse from.

Bush allegedly bought land in Paraguay in 2006, a roughly 98,840 acre parcel in the Paso de Patria area called "Chaco", close to the intersections of Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. Apparently, it's a gorgeous spot. The land is close to the Bolivian wetlands, is situated near natural gas reserves, and sits atop one of the largest aquifers in the world, the Guarani indigenous water region. Part of the property has been designated an ecological reserve. And wow, they think of everything, it's close to the US Mariscal Estigarribia Military Base. The U.S. officially denies having troops there except for "exercises", and vigorously denies rumors of having its own base there.
Jenna Bush was sent on a "family mission" the first week of October '06 to seal the deal, accompanied by 10 security guards. She met the President of Paraguay and the U.S. Ambassador and "officially" traveled with UNICEF to see a few of their projects, a "strictly private" tour.

Apparently, Bush Sr. owns roughly 173,000 acres in the same area, although there are no confirmed reports. But, here is the strange part: none other than the Reverend Sun Myung Moon was the first to buy a huge chunk in 2000, in that very area. The Moonies have big plans: they want to develop ports, universities, an eco-tourism resort (will his an Bush's intersect?), and reinvigorate the timber trade to Asia. They are in Argentina already, but it seems they are branching out. And it seems like the Bushes followed him.

Bush, Sr. is a big fan of Rev. Moon, and is quoted as calling Moon "the man with the vision," in Argentina in 1996 while helping him hawk his news publication "Times of the World." As you know, Moon also owns the Washington Times. It helps to be a sycophant to someone who donates significantly to one's coiffers--Bush made
$100,000 for the endorsement, and some sources say Moon has given the Bush family approximately $10 million dollars over the years. I won't go into the implications of Bush II's Faith Based Initiatives and how much money Moon has undoubtedly made from American tax dollars either directly or though tax credits. But, it seems as if the entire Bush clan has a friendship, professional or otherwise, with Reverend Moon.

Okay, pretty obvious, (soon to be, but not soon enough) former dictator scopes out property, flees to a South American location to avoid prosecution for war crimes, and gets into business there. Now, what businesses are the most profitable--ie, the most volatile in the region? Oh yes. Natural gas and water. Where is Bush's property? Oh yes, on the Bolivian border where there have been numerous coup d' etat's in the past 100 years, and several national incidents in the past ten years over said natural resources. And, who is hanging out in the Washington, D.C. area as we speak, after fleeing Bolivia from prosecution? Ex-President "Goni" Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, friend of George W. Bush, who wishes to overthrow democratically elected Evo Morales and reinstate power despite the tremendous hate the majority indigenous population feel for him.

I guess if were an Obama supporter, I would not be casting dispersions on anyone else's presdential selections, as current circumstances would suggest that your "decision" was a very poor one. Given that particular vote, it would call to question your ability to evaluate who would, and would not, be a good president. It appears as though the ill informed "sheeple" elected Obama, and we are paying for thier poor judgement.

You can just refuse to take your Social Security check, if it makes you feel better.

The greedy fat cats support whoever will give them the biggest boost in their wallet - traditionally that has been the Repubs, but Dems are just as culpable.
