you do realize that the US federal government is the largest and most corrupt corporation in the entire world right? you wonder why jobs go overseas? corporate taxes in this country are disgraceful. no one wants to do business here. I always find it ironic that those begging for welfare, call someone who wants to keep the fruits of their labor "greedy." the "rich" already pay a higher amount. all raising their taxes does is promote complacency. why work harder if they are just going to take more from me? why should I work harder to benefit someone else? that's what charities are for.
I don't have a clue what you are talking about...
Just who is begging for welfare???
Why was the economy so much stronger and stable under Clinton's higher taxes than under Bush???
changing tax rates to punish rich and help the middle class is welfare. you can call it what you want, but I am going to call it what it IS. the economy under clinton was probably stronger because he balanced the budget. bush is a freaking socialist. he spends money like a maniac. taxes were never the problem with bush, it was his liberalesque spending and expansion of government.

I have a solution I would like to propose. It will help to keep government from growing any larger and still facilitate the distribution of wealth. Please provide me with a bank check for $5,000 drawn from your personal wealth. In exhange I will provide you with a cetificate validating your having already having been distributed from that you can present to the Federal Government which will be good for one years worth of distribution protection.
Being the good poster on here that I am, I will offer this opportunity to 49 other fellow citizens. By limiting it to 49 my spouse and I will be avoiding putting us into that dreaded 250K and up category. All of our personal wealth will be placed in trust that we can't access or that will be taxable until after Obama leaves office. This should make everyone happy and you can prevent government from getting their hands on your wealth

Well, then by your definition - I'm a proud sponsor of welfare!!!
Transfer that loot from the rich to the middle-class - yeah - swweeeeeeet!!!
I already know how to keep governments hands off my money. it's called a roth IRA. although, I am sure that democrats are foaming at the mouth to get their greedy hands on those.

Hate to burst your bubble - but the contribution limit to a Roth IRA - and IRA's in general - is pretty small... Soooo, unless you're in your 20's or 30's, you might want to go a different direction...

Hmmm I will forward a not to my Obama contact letting them know. I will also be letting Nancy P know by the usual communication flow. Since we are CD friends I will be willing to buy you that beer I owe you with funds that were previously part of your portfolio. I think that is only fair. That rep point you just got was from me. I forgot to signature it.
I'm just curious about who you think has been paying for the war in Iraq, a pretty pointless war that was insinuated in the beginning to have something to do with Osama bin Laden yet he is still at large.
You are aware that the US keeps hemorrhaging money on this war while Iraq builds up a surplus??
the rich will stay rich, and the poor will stay poor.
On a lighter note did you ever hook up with John's daughter?
