Nah. You'll never understand that fact.
I'm not a republican, but whatever....keep it up with the partisan personal attacks since they make your argument much weaker, I appreciate the help.

I'd like to see whatever statistics you have that show that more money is spent on police protection for Romney's neighborhood as compared to some high crime areas. And BTW, unless you live in the same state as Romney, your tax money does not get spent on police and fire for him...federal funds do not pay for state/local police and fire.

Yeah I'm sure that Romney's neighborhood is only safe because of Romney's magical superhero powers and not because the police make sure that the common folk get nowhere near his estate. And I'm equally sure that no federal funds are ever spent on the military so that no foreign governments don't invade and take his house.

Yup.

Yup.
So no stats or facts on the police spending to back up your claim?

And foreign governments attacking Romney's house is just a ridiculous argument....federal funds protect the entire US from coast to coast, not some special land mass with just the rich on it. ANY attack by a foreign government on US soil would be an enormous negative regardless of what income segment is hit...foolish argument at best.

The more stuff you have the more need protection to keep it. I realize this basic fact is hard for a Republican to understand but do try to keep up, please. If the government gets attacked I lose a bit. I don't lose my twelve million dollar house and my 200 million dollar fortune. That's why Romney and his ilk should pay more: they get more from the government and they lose more if it topples.

Obama never really created jobs either, then. Any politician for that matter.

Given that with very few exceptions, every child born needs to work after childhood, I could argue that only parents create "jobs". Every child born is a future job in waiting.

I've already told you that I'm not a Republican, so how about YOU try and keep up?

And as I said, Romney and his "ilk" (sorry you hate people that are successful in life) do pay more because if they pay the same % as you and I, whatever that percent is, is most certainly going to be a much larger dollar figure than what you and I pay...probably combined. How much more do you want from them? What about the people that pay no income taxes? By your logic, they are a drain on society because they are using up more resources than they pay for. You cant have it both ways.

Yeah, I thought that liberals were all about "progress," but when it comes to business, efficiency, productivity, etc., they want to stay in the stone age. They're too naive to understand that if all those little mom and pop shops served every one of their needs, their cost of living would increase dramatically...

Hey liberals - you don't like Staples (or Wal*Mart, or <insert big corporation name here>)? Come up with a better business model and execute that idea. Until you do that, quit your whining.

Don't forget - Staples will be having their back-to-school sale soon!

The last thead I started was about harvesting Dandelions. You think I need help? I think someone that thinks I hate Dandelions needs help. As for hate, I see you attacking the messenger, but not the message. Yeah. Guess that's all you got. A Big Bag of Nothing.
