Were is Wade at with his... I want an average person in the white house argument?... So did you just say the government should only represent the top 5 percent of the population? That doesn't sound like democracy... more like feudalism...
Negatory my good man. What I want is a good cross section of representation. As for what the G represents, I think its safe to say that the government has always had, shall we say, an affinity for the top 5 percent.
Let be real about this Ruff, I get the feeling that Mr. Obama wants me to help out a little more. His website said that taxes would be back like they were in the 90's. Well, no one has pointed out that my earlier post was bogus, so I guess when we "go back to the 90's" I'm gonna be paying more in taxes. I don't make 250k, I thought the deal was that people who make more than 250k were gonna get whacked? Here's what the deal is - plain and simple. Take no offense from the font size, but I want to make it crystal clear.
From each according to their ability - to each according to their need. (PERIOD)
I don't mind being charitable with my fellow man, but I'll do it on my terms. Its not charity when its at the end of a gun. I don't need to give the feds any more than what's fair, so they can "redistribute" it to the less fortunate. The "less fortunate" don't know WTF to do with their money in the first place. If the did they wouldn't be less fortunate. I don't want to hear about the poor family that lost their home. We all stumble at some point, thats why we have a safety net. However, if I contimually repeat the same mistake, why should I get more dough. What this comes down to is throwing money at people. Whether its "assistance" or a loan bail out. People did shi'ite that got them in trouble and want the "man" to bail them out.
We can go into the minutia (sp) but it comes down to being responsible for your choices. Pull a boner and you should pay. Mr. Obama wants the G to solve all the ills. We've seen on few occasions where the G can do a better job than the private sector. Aside from that, most of the things claimed on his website are going to have to go through congress. Good luck with that.
No more answering a question with a question? Ruffy, Milehigh, he!! cmantle, help me out. Under Obama's plan off his website - I make 32500, single, am I better off then (1995) or now (2007)?
Hope all or part of this is coherent. Long day at the end of a long harvest season. .
G'nite
