You ain't kidding brother. My dream is to work at Spago's in Aspen as a waiter or busboy.

Where will my dream go if they don't have all that disposable income?

Spend it on education, infrastructure, renewable energy research???....... Boring! Who wants to be a teacher, civil engineer, or scientist? Yuck.

So we on the same page? I agree with you. But please don't take my money and give it to a lazy incompetent leach who does not pay tax. What Obama will do is send "tax credits" ie money to ppl who don't pay tax. How does that build a road, all it does is gets the beneficiary new sneakers and cigarettes and beer!?

When we tax childless people and build/operate schools, we are taking from one and giving to another.

When we tax healthy people and fund drug standards, we are taking from one and giving to another.

When we tax people who don't drive and build roads, we are taking from one and giving to another.

When we tax vegetarians and fund USDA meat inspection, we are taking from one and giving to another.


Etc., etc., etc............................................... .

It's called improving our country.

That would horrible! Have you seen the Taxes on cigarettes and sneakers and beer?! If people spend that money it will be just like a stimulus to the economy and we really need to be saving as much money as possible.

Because voting for a 72 year old who's supported Bush policies over 90% of the time and an alleged 'maverick' who is obviously nothing but a typical power abusing politician (although less knowledgeable than most) would be an even bigger mistake.

You are right. We are all going to be one class of poor people in poverty. I just give up. I am just going to give in and start believing this BS too.
It's just their childish way of picking up the game board and tossing it across the room just before the game's over because they know they're going to lose.

This just in: "Obama kills bunnies for fun and will appoint Osama Bin Laden as his Secretary of State".

Oh well, luckily for you your wish will be granted and we will see if you right or not! Now only time will tell. I suspect Obama/Biden will be very quick to use military force. The next 4 years sure are going to give us conservative some good material. And when you guys dont get your free stuff it sure is going to make me laugh!
