But if you want to donate your money, please feel free to do so. That is called "charity". But it isn't the government's job to take money from others and pass it out. That is theft.
Just like the bank bailouts right?...

And people wonder why the President had to give in on tax cuts for millionaires. If he didn't, people would be going without unemployment benefits.

These guys are holding congress hostage. I only hope that the President can turn the tables after the beginning of the year.

You'd think the Repubiicans would at least sit down and try to negotiate a solution that would allow these first responders that were willing to give their lives for their fellow citizens some medical coverage whether it was through pay-go or some other means.

It's says a lot about the Republican Party that they would reject any solution outright. But extending the Bush Tax Cuts for the richest 1% of American NO PROBLEM!

Ahh no.. fail again.. The extortion bill would be the healthcare bill which DID PASS.. Allowing people to keep their money isnt extortion...

If you dont understand this, you cant expect to be taken serious on anything else..

Maybe we need to do something about THAT rather than do THIS then. I'm not a fan of "special person" legislation because no matter what anyone does they are no more special to me than the people I know and love.
