Winning according to who? I remember in '04 old John Kerry had it all sewed up according to those who were in the know. Walker was gonna get kicked out of Wisconsin according to those in the know. Apparently they don't know as much as they think. Know it all nothings.

Only think I know is folks can go vote for a "change" in the direction this country is heading which is down. I still have faith the American people aren't dumb enough to vote for 4 more years of this disaster. Now is it all rigged with Soros owning the company that runs the voting machines? That is a whole different discussion.

Fair?

It is a percentage of earning. It is completely fair.

If you make 100 dollars, and pay 10%, you pay 10 dollars in taxes.

If I make 1000 dollars, and pay 10%, I pay 100 dollars.

I don't see you having a problem with me paying your entire earnings in taxes.

The problem you seem to be having is that things are fair, but you want them to be adjusted in favor of a specific party. What you want is not equal taxation, you want others to carry more of the burden, and why? Because they have more than you? In fact, because they actually make more than you, they already pay more of the taxes. They contribute far more than you do, but you want them to pay more? Fair my arse!

It isn't healthy to live your life in such envy.

You know what would be completely equal and fair though?

Replace all taxes with the old head tax. This way EVERYONE pays EXACTLY the same. That is what truly equal and fair is, but that isn't what you want. It is astounding how greedy folks are these days when it comes to this. This system puts the weight of taxation on the top earners and you guys whine and cry about how you want more. That is greedy, selfish, and underhanded.

People aren't paying attention. I just saw a white girl from lakeland florida liking a black guys status. Here was his status.

Brian Williams
Mit Romney is da Anti-Christ. #HeHateBlackPpl (sound familiar?)

Jessica Barrington and Kiara Ladi P Strong like this.











And according to all the sites where you can bet on whose gonna win the presidential spot. They all clearly think Obama's going to win. Was Kerry really a huge favorite last time?

Yes it is. They earn that money and 10% is just more for them to keep, same as it is the rest of us.

I've seen plenty of stats like that and people liking them. I'm not basing it on that tho I'm basing it on the betting odds that the bookies made.

Bookies? They make money no matter who wins. They don't care just want to generate the most bets.
