Oh really..... do you have statistical data to back up the claim that you make more than most Conservatives or did you pull this out of thin air?


If you'd like to compare salaries, I'd be happy to oblige what I as well as other conservatives that I know make and we can find out for sure.

I live five blocks from the beach in San Diego in a house I own. Average price of a house here is $850K. Median household income for an American is $46,000. So, yes, I'm sure that I make more than the average Conservative (or Liberal, Libertarian, etc). So, yes, I pay more taxes than the average American.

The point, once again, is I'm more than happy to pay taxes and help others.

FUBARd indeed.

I am sure that it was just an honest mistake like when that cop shot someone in the back while they were running away and claimed that it was necessary because the dead man was trying to get his taser. The same taser that the cop dropped right next to the dead man's body.

How do you know what your taxes are spent on? You don't.

Watching the convention last night, it was clear many of those in the audience will no longer be with us in four or eight years time.

Oh, so it was the same cop as in your said incident? No? Let me ask you this, will you be ok with people assaulting or even killing innocent blacks because they are fed up with other's thuggish mentality and actions even if they had nothing to do with any of it? I hope you are to be consistent.

Well, then. Of course your opinion matters more than all us obviously poor and uneducated Republicans.

If I was a betting person, I would bet you are also employed by the state/taxpayers or a state funded institution, like the majority of middle class people in California, and didn't pay any where near $850,000 for your abode.
