AMEN...
i`m not an american, but what you said is what i would want if i was an american..
it`s pretty much the 'sane' approach for all countries [and people] in this insane planet...

'common sense politics' is a species under extinction nowadays... all around the globe...

The problem with Obama and our Democratic government is that they want to kiss everyone's ass and send billions of dollars overseas to people that hate us. And then Obama and Pelosi travel the globe saying I'm sorry and turning America in soft queers. Its a damn shame that we have to pay this activity.

When Thomas Jefferson was president, he petitioned Congress and asked them to provide a horse for him to make his way around the country. Congress stood up and said sorry Tom, you'll have to buy that horse and carriage yourself... Now Pelosi is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fly her arthritic finger ass all over the country and the world. Why are we paying for this? Why are my hard earn dollars being paid in tax are paying for this nonsense bullshit? In the spendulous bill, why were we buying new golf carts and cars? new pigs for research? a new lawn around the Jigga-Boo Igloo? Why?

Why is it that Obama is priding himself on creating 15,000 new jobs from the spendulous bill? Doesn't he realize that he created 15,000 new government job? Doesn't he realize that he's just helping Aunt Sue, and Bonquisha, and Latoya screw up the government? Hell if these new jobs are going to be anything like the Post Office is, we should just pay these workers off now and let the go. The "created" jobs are going to do nothing for the economy anyway, they don't pay the same taxes we do....

I guarantee he could stimulate the economy like no other right now by doing one thing. CUT THE CORPORATE TAX RATE IN HALF! Plain and simple. The US has the highest Corporate tax rates in the world! No wonder why more and more companys are moving their headquarters out the country and to places like Dubai. By cutting the tax rate in half, it will give companies incentives to want to stay and start productions here. It will inturn result in lower prices to the consumer, thus giving the consumer more buying power. More buying power means more spending we the consumer will do. It will start the business life cycle in full speed mode again. Plants will need to higher more workers to handle the demand as well as other parts of the delivery processes.
Why is that so hard to see?

No they want to stimulate the economy by pumping money into the wrong places with money we dont have. They want to issue bonds for the government that no one will buy. They want to print trillions of $ just to spend it. Don't they see the dollar value dying? Don't they realize someone has to pay for all of this? Don't they realize inflation will comeback to haunt us for years and years?

And while I'm spittin my game here...

WHO the HELL wants nationalized health care? Did they see what happened to the Post Office when that was nationalized? Sure it will give everyone health care but Idon't want to wait 7 days in the ER with a broken arm because there's 700 other people there waiting with colds and sneezes, and herpes and warts. O and did I mention I can't wait to see the attitudes of the nurses and doctors that will help me with my broken arm. The lack of competition and standardized pay will make the healthcare "professional" normal peole again. There will be no need to rush and get more people healthy again, There will be no consideration for those in need. Patients will just become a number in a line and recieve the same level of care as everyone else.
People will die from waiting on waiting list. People will abuse the system like they abuse everything else. And they think this is a good idea because 40 million American don't have health insurance? WOW isn't it a coincidence that its also the same 43.3 million Americans that dont pay taxes? Hmm... Sounds like Socialism to me... So what happens when we do nationalize health care? Lets see those same 40 million Americans that don't have health insurance now will flood the doctors offices and hospital for no apparent reason but to get free shit. SO I'll have to sit there with these 40 million American while I have a broken arm and my health insurance cards are no longer good anymore.
But wait... Whats going to happen to those health insurance companies when we nationalize health care? I guess we'll add to that 43.3 million American that don't pay taxes...

And when the hell does the President of the United States have the authority to demand a corporation's CEO resign and be replaced?

Where the hell has CAPITALISM gone? Wheres the free market society that has made America the most desired place to live and work?

Ok I'm done for a while...

lol, I see someone else is at least as frustrated as I am about the state of the country. I am proud to say I didn't even vote; why vote when you are choosing the best of evils? So I get someone who will rape me but smile and say thanks, as opposed to someone who will just give it to me dry?

And a side note about taxes (nothing to do with Feds, but still an annoyance): In Iowa (maybe other places too), if I get cash out of an ATM that is not a member of my bank. I get charge a $2 fee. Fair enough. But to apply sales tax on the fee?? WTF! As I recall, I don't get anything from the fee (except a lighter wallet) - it should be the bank that charged the fee that gets charged the tax. I just don't get it. :neutral:

Getting brutal around here, Good reading !

Wasnt there a discussion about buying our own island a while back?

Yes, I think there was. No one had enough cash to make it a reality, so the idea died.

Time to get Richard Branson on the phone. He bought his island for 30 grand or something stupid like that. That was back in the 60-70s... Damn I wish I had an island. I have about 4 acres, but it is split up into 3 different locations. And I have to pay tax on them all. I think I will start a church. The Church of Pimp, sounds gangster to me.

If I join can I go on the pig hunts? BYOA (bring your own ammo) is fine with me, I've got a large safe dedicated to ammo alone.

Anyone seen 'The boat that rocked'? If not an island, what about an old warship and turn it into a floating island as such? First stop, the carribean....

No prob, bring friends.

Will do, just gotta convince my buddy to let me borrow his M2 so we can build that Volvo 240 technical :tongue:

M2 as in the big 50 cal browning? Building technicals is fun, always wanted on on my truck roof, just in case I ever needed to do a drive-by or something like that.

Yep "the big .50" as we call it. Fully automatic and 100% legal (collectors thing). I think a Volvo 240 would make an excellent Technical :yes:

Hmm, 2 bucks around or more, gotta love it. Better make sure the bastard on the receiving end is worth it though! 10 bucks woth of diesel and fertilizer go a long way...

The volvo would look good, but it would need a camo paint job to get the full effect.
