andy77e @andy77e (5156) • United States 6 Apr 13

I have heard at least a hundred times or more, for the past 5 years, that everything was due to Bush's tax cuts. If only we didn't have the Bush tax cuts, if only we raised taxes on the rich, if only blaw blaw blaw.... why Social...

Who needs more than one gun a month?

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 16 Jan 13

I don't know why anyone would need to purchase more than one gun a month. However, apparently some firearms advocates are having trouble with this legislation proposed by President Obama. I don't think any rational person who is...

thegreatdebater Burrito, you are 100% correct about the numbers, and the ignorance of right wingers. They want what they want, but they don't want to pay for it, and they want to reserve the right to bash those that gave them what they wanted.

Who Thinks $400,000/Year is "Middle Class"?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 31 Dec 12

I mean, REALLY, who thinks $250,000 is middle class? I just read that polls show that most Americans consider anything above $150,000/year to be "rich" and I tend to agree with that assessment. Sure, I know there are some places...

asyria51 unfortunately no matter who wins, if it is a close call, the taxpayers are going to foot the bill for them to recount votes etc. There will be no real change to the economy in the forseeable future no matter who wins.
