What is the prevailing wisdom, here on EO, what real money is? Hint: What if the value of oil didn't go up; but the value of the dollar went down?

I can see a liberal commune buying it; but nothing would ever get done. :D

Exactly! WE pay corporate taxes! Every time my dad complains about corporations needing to be taxed more, I tell him corporations don't pay taxes... we do, when we buy stuff. Any raise in their taxes goes directly to price increases. Profits WILL stay the same. Remember a couple of years ago...

Jet fuel does not burn very quickly. It burns HOTLY. Both the heat from that fuel, plus the weight of the planes made the support beams buckle. How many building fires in history do you know of were the result of a plane crashing into them? I didn't want this thread to go this way, dammit.

That's your problem right there, my friend.

The tea party tried sending Peter Schiff to the Senate, but Connecticut wanted another failure to fill Chris Dodd's seat.

In the 50s, the top marginal income tax was 91%. BTW... we're the 2nd highest in corporate taxes. Japan is first, and their recession (depression) is going on 25 years. Think about that, for us!

Build a house of cards, then pull the middle foundation card out. You'll see it fall straight down. I have no doubts the planes took those buildings down. Jet fuel burns super hot. Even the asbestos coating on the support beams wasn't enough to resist tankfuls of fuel.

Sorry, AMonger... but that would end affirmative action. And affirmative action is BIG business!

So... if you aren't doing anything wrong (as defined by your government), you have nothing to fear from your government. If you don't look the king in the eyes, you don't have to worry about getting beheaded, IOW... if you're lucky. Society will deal with them when the problem is apparent. Too...

I'm not familiar with the book you site. I'm not overly interested if this was an act of terrorism, or one of demolition. What I'm trying to convey is the losses of liberty as a result of 9/11. If it was a terrorist act, our government clamped down on liberties as a reason to "protect us". If...

I've been thinking about my position of what happened on 9/11. I honestly don't know if the government could kill 3000 of its own citizens to further its own agenda. Correction... yes, I believe they would. However, I don't think Bush, who I honestly believe is a decent man, could give the go...

Nah... New York is, itself, a welfare case. It has no ambition to get itself out of debt, other than by raising taxes. It's strategy is for OTHER STATES to pay its way out of debt. As for Dubya... the Republican congress was playing charades, and for some reason kept acting like donkeys. Not to...

Nah... as much as Republicans and Democrats sukk, I'm afraid Americans sukk too. Americans are the ones who wanted hope and change. Well, they sure as hell got it... good and hard.

We have multiculturalism here. It just hasn't invaded our political system as it has in Europe. However, the problem of political correctness is a problem here, as in Europe. I would say crap like the Islamic chanting in Hamtramck and the prayer rooms at UofM are special rules. Illegal...

I think he's right, for the most part. Same could be said for immigrants coming here... You are welcome, but I don't have to embrace your culture. I have my own. It is my country's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj1ahvh_jYY

I'd rather we get someone in Congress and the WH who would leave us alone so we can afford that crap ourselves! I don't need squat from da gubbermint.

That's because they aren't trying to appease the millions of zombies with their hand out to the government.

BRiLLiANT!!!

Yeah... welcome back! We've been keeping your seat warm for ya. :D
