reduce the defense budget of "cold war weapons that we don't use", eliminate inefficiency in the medical industry, and he is going to raise taxes.  and there is the $250K limit again.

The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
Ayn Rand
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

We have GOT to take over at least one house of Congress in 2010.

What checks? I thought there were no stimulus checks, just $13 a paycheck less on taxes paid?

I feel so much better now. He won't raise our taxes til we go over $250k. How reassuring.

The market will tank tomorrow. Glad we didn't buy any stocks today.

So, after we have a few cities go to 4000 degrees, we'll start researching and developing a response weapon so we can retaliate.....in 10 ****ing years.  ::)

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I always say, "great minds think alike... and so do ours" when that happens.  :p :p
