Did you just cite "Life News" as "fact" checking?

Care to back that up? With numbers please, unless you're embracing the anecdotal evidence that you just dismissed.

Come again? Rubio would be the strongest candidate in the general but he won't make it there. The Jeb W. Romney campaign will salt the earth under his feet. And from a conviction standpoint it's difficult to be impressed. Rubio has made one big legislative effort in his career and he abandoned it immediately when the winds changed. Ted Cruz is an ideologue who has nothing but contempt for the intelligence of his supporters. Unfortunately, that seems to be working for him. It says quite a bit more about the far right than it does about ol' Ted. Oh, good lord. "Challenging the status quo" is probably the saddest spin that I've seen of a complete failure of a tenure that resulted in the firing of more than 30,000 people, a golden parachute for Carly, and a giant jump in stock prices when the market saw that she had been fired. If you want to believe that she'd be a good politician (and not just an anti-Hillary prop) that's fine . . . but you'd do well to not base it on her career in the private sector.

Could you name those 4-5?

You didn't vote for Romney, right?

So someone who makes $41,000 would take home $32,800 after your "fair tax" . . . while someone making $39,000 would take home $39,000? Might want to work on your proposal. That or come up with a new name.

Despite the hysterical claims by the conservative media there is no evidence of this.

Given your arguments in that thread and this one, I have little doubt that that would be a waste of time for the both of us. Have a nice weekend.

This seems to be popping back up again . . . so I'd like to propose that if we're going to drug test welfare recipients that we should drug test everyone who receives money from the government. That's fair right?

Why, indeed?

See TD Ameritrade and the absolute BS about the need to close Rosenblatt. Guess whose buddies owned that land north of downtown?

No . . . but my wife does have a standing job offer there.

Why would anyone want to hang out with them? I'd have a shooting range, a professional style kitchen, a nano brewery, and I'd take vacations. Haha.

Yeah. If you make $300,000 in Hastings, NE you can live like a king. If you made the same money in San Francisco you might have to rent a house.

I don't think that it's a matter of right and wrong. In fact, I'd argue that that is a strange way to think about taxation. No doubt. There aren't a lot of free tickets in life unless you're born rich or incredibly lucky.

That's because everyone thinks that they are middle class. ???? http://www.gallup.com/poll/159029/americans-likely-say-belong-middle-class.aspx

That's because everyone thinks that they are middle class.

It makes my head hurt.

. . . uh . . . yeah. I don't think that's comparable.

What?
