fuck...we are now all gonna be taxed to no end...

how bout we punish the rich for being successful...chances are thats gonna happen now...sweeeeeeet

Taxed to no end, huh? I've never paid higher taxes than I have with Bush in office. Period.

As for punishing the rich, I think its a fair statement to say that the more $$$ you have, the more write-offs you have. the more write-offs you have, the less taxes you pay. Yes, the top 1% of Americans income-wise paid 37% of income taxes in 2004, the lower 50% ($30,100 annual income or less) of wage earners paid 3.3%. However, the top 2% control 98% of the money so porportionally they should be accountable for that amount of the taxes as well.

Abe also stated "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics" as well as "if I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it."

"in such a ruling an echo of Abraham Lincoln's famous 1855 letter to his friend Joshua Speed, in which the future president lays out a necessarily inclusive understanding of civil liberties and human rights. "We begin by declaring that 'all men are created equal,'" wrote Lincoln, who was then fretting over the rise of the anti-immigrant, Catholic-bashing, white-supremacist Know-Nothing Party. "We now practically read it, 'All men are created equal except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'All men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.'" (Emphasis in original). Lincoln's basic point—that we cannot have different rights for minorities without eventually undermining rights for all—remains true today."

"What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union. This is how I see my official duty. It does not change my wish -- as a person -- that all men everywhere could be free."

Who cares what Abe lincoln said, and what does it have to do with our national debt, homeland security, and the fact healthcare in this country is non existent.

Lets spend x amount of dollars on a war to save a few dollars on some oil (and take care of a personal vengence...)

You have to spend money to make money right?

Where the fuck is our money?...

Also in other news, politics is overrated. There is no end to it.

And another thing I do not go to church as so many of you bible banging repulicans do. Maybe there is some weird connection with religion and politics somewhere that does not alow me to give a damn anymore?

Some say morals, I say quit reading the bible.

Sorry for the rant, now back to work.

I you too Parker...ewww

Seriously though, does anyone actually think that the words came out right when Kerry said that? I'm not saying he's Mr. Perfect, far from it, but the way the words came out would be career suicide if it was exactly what he meant.

[Parker]

well the fact that right away he said that he would not apologize tells me that he meant what he said...... and then finnaly apologized on his website..... he must be a real small man if he does that.....

[DaveH]

Come on now Chuck, this is as twisted as I've seen you post. LOL You are paying higher taxes because you are making more money than you ever have. Without GWB's tax cuts you would have been taxed more. Period.

When I see something like this I can only think to myself **"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" **The US of A has the very finest, leading edge healthcare there is. We are a little behind in getting some of the newer drugs, but thats just because the FDA is so strict on new stuff, trying to made sure everything is 100% safe before they allow it to the public. Not saying I agree with them, just stating a fact.

When I see something like this I can only think to myself "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" I was speaking of the lack of aid provided by our federal govt' helping people in need, or lack there of. Obviously we have more than enough "leading edge healthcare" sometimes more than enough.

For instance, its safe to say pharmaceutical reps are the devil. Without them Doctors would not push the next pill down our throat every time one comes out. Funny how about a year and half ago all of the sudden every one had acid reflux when no one had ever even heard of it before. The point I am getting at is the the "newer drugs" and older for that matter are a joke, and often used when not necessary. Look at the increase in the use, and number of different anti-depressants that plague everyday life for so many people just numbing the problem instead of getting to the source of it.

Lastly "natural" cures which are not even considered as they can not be trademarked could lead to a cure for cancer, aids, hepatitis or others. Reasoning is you cannot copyright, something that is classified as a natural supplement, so in other words, Doctors, The Devil (pharm reps), and pharmacies in general cannot make any money off them. So in other words, good job and you can thank DuPont for starting the trend in the mid 1930's when they assisted with the illegalization of the hemp plant. I am done on this subject as I could ramble on for pages about it.
