    JW, you act like this is a bad when you do exactly the same thing. You haven't paid a nickels worth of income tax since you moved to the U.S. 10 years ago and to make matters worse, you want those that do pay their fair share of tax to pay much more while at the same time REFUSING to pay even a pennys worth of tax yourself.

    You are the WORST KIND OF LIBERAL HYPOCRITE!!!

    Sounds like Warren Buffet or the CEO of GE! Both of these fuckos are thugs and should pay they due just like the rest of us. You Liberals think again if you think the government is in your favor!

    Am I misunderstanding this whole budget mess. We are broke in Aug bleeding 160-200 Bill per month. The remedy (NOT) is a 90 day reprieve with a balanced budget commitee. We paid many more millions for these aholes to do nothing for 3 months. Then when forced austerity becomes us it appears it doesn't kick in until 01/2013. So, the result if I understand it is that we bleed another 18 months from Aug 11. Anyone else find it distrubing that in 4-5 years the deficit has doubled from circa 7Tri to 14-15Tri and now their answer is a 1.2 trilion reduction over 10 years. That's gonna get us far, right. A billion just ain't what it used to be.

    Anyway my rant for the morning ... now back to sports.

    Hey flip-flop .. you still telling all the Republicans to go fcuk themselves over this debt negotiation

    1. I am retired.
    2. I have never taken a single cent out of the system.
    3. I have put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the US economy and hired many many US skilled tradesmen over the past 10 years.

    If this is what you Republicans are fighting to stop .. you are in more trouble than you think you are.


    Now how about you go back to fighting for the re-introduction of slavery, taking away a women's right to vote and turning back any progress America has made in the past 200+ years ...

    You and your kind are everything that is wrong with the Republican party and you are about to get your ass handed to you once again in 2012 ...



    Keep on keeping on dreamer ... only you could support taxing retired people at higher rates than those with incomes in the hundreds of thousands ...

    PS morons. Getting you guys to argue over a two tiered political system is part of how they control you and then get away with robbing you blind. DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

    In some states .. on election day .. you only have a choice of two candidates ... R or D ... no independents at all ... the reason some of us argue over a two tiered political system .. is because that is all we get to chose from.

    I'd love to have a real left of center option in 2012 .. but it does not look like that is going to be happening.

    10K on the DOW is the depression floor - still have some 'correction' room

    if it breaks the floor and falls below 10k buy bullets and stock up on nonperishable food and proper water storage
