Social spending is higher than the Pentagon and the military IS a REQUIRED duty of the Federal Government, NOT bus service in Detroit.
The tax system is a mess. It is a mess because, in part, Washington has taken it over. They are NOT meant to be in control. The power where I live should be at...
PJJJJJ I do think you are missing many points. The current system is set up to insure that a very large percentage of people pay no taxes. NOT the rich as most believe but the low end of the pay scale. That same low end uses most of the public money. In this country you are rewarded for doing...
Well son of a bean picker, I thought that was what you meant!! I got one right for a change!! WHEW!! All I know about PeeWee Herman is that he does things in movie theaters. I tend not to pay attention to the entertainment world.
WE have stepped back? Don't include me. It does NOT matter where it is built. I believe that they are foolish to build it there. I also believe that they are just trying to be in your face too.
The FIRST time that someone runs up and starts beating girls or killing them because they are going...
OK, this one makes NO SENSE to me at all. I cannot come up with a valid reason. Maybe someone in here can.
We have been sitting here in Denver, CO since Tuesday. Twice we were offered a load that picked up in Albuquerque, NM. Twice we turned it down. It would have been a good load had we been...
What do you call a "Fair Tax"? To me a "Fair Tax" would be NO income tax of ANY kind, everyone pays the same rate and everyone pays taxes. No more freebies. The IRS is cut back to almost nothing. The main taxing authority MUST be the states NOT the Federal government. I believe that the bulk of...
You know better than that Greg. These forums are NOT public policy or law. They don't even represent but a TINY fraction of the people who live in this country. There are many countries where even participating in these kinds of forums could get you killed. Just as there are countries what...
Eliminate the income tax. Go to a straight Nation Sales tax, NOT a VAT. NO double taxes. If there is a tax on an item now, like the Pittman/Robinson tax, NO sales tax on that item. Keep it to 10% or LESS. Put the burden of MOST spending and taxing on the STATES as it was meant to be. Washington...
Well, I don't want to lower our standards of religious tolerance to that of most of the rest of the world. As to that mosque, it will not be at ground zero if it is built as planned. I think that they are hurting their own cause to build it that close but I don't think they care about that. I...
"You may be right, but it's hard to take seriously the views of someone who hides behind the persona of an ancient philosopher."
It can be equally as difficult to take seriously the views of someone who would belittle, ridicule or lampoon a man's personal beliefs just because that person might...
There are complicated and historical reasons why the Constitution was ratified without the Bill of Rights. No document is perfect but our Constitution is about as close as it gets. Every problem can legally be fixed within it's confines. The problems arise when our politicians, like Obama, go...
At least this one turned out ok.
Plastic jar removed from Fla. bear cub's head
OCALA, Fla. – A black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as "jarhead" can finally enjoy a good meal.
A clear plastic container was removed from the 6-month-old cub's head after being...
Don't wait for the youth. It is going to be up to us old, fat guys in our 60's. We are the last to remember even a touch of freedom. Today's youth, generally speaking, is already fat, lazy, dependent on government and enjoys it that way.
