I don't belong to either party but I would most likely join that party with you.

Hold the lettuce, Hold the pickles, Special orders don't upset us, All we ask is that you let us serve it your way..

People that don't vote should shut up if they don't like whats being served. This aint frikin Burger King.. This is a Democracy.. Nobody gets everything they want..

You frikin sheep that don't have enough common sense to choose from our current menu deserve to live under the Rule of a frikin Dictator.. God I hate stupid people..

I hope that was sarcastic alci...
1.  People should not shut up if they don't vote, that is absurd, 2.  this is a republic, not a democracy, and 3.  true, no one gets everything they want.
4.  I will not choose from a menu if I don't like the options, that being said, I have only entered a write in vote once or twice, and 5.  yes, I hate stupid people too.

From what I have seen, the Republicans have thrown the whole country under the bus. They did this just to SHOW, WHO, runs this country. The wealthy win again. We are nothing but food to the Republicans and the wealthy. Do you really think the wealthy are taking a hit on the stock market?! :rofl: They drop stocks, buy them back after the turmoil they caused hits. Billions made just like that. It is just a game to them. They have TIGER BLOOD. WINNING !:rofl: Maybe just huge amounts of money. That's what happens when too few people hold all of the chips. :(

I can tell that your definition of wealthy is much different than the DNC and that of the Obama regime.

Without specifically mentioning Republicans, S&P senior director Joydeep Mukherji said the stability and effectiveness of American political institutions were undermined by the fact that “people in the political arena were even talking about a potential default,” Mukherji said.

“That a country even has such voices, albeit a minority, is something notable,” he added. “This kind of rhetoric is not common amongst AAA sovereigns.”

In reaction to the statements by S&P on Thursday, however, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said the firm had misinterpreted the GOP position.

Stop Coddling the Super-Rich
By WARREN E. BUFFETT

I would leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged and continue the current 2-percentage-point reduction in the employee contribution to the payroll tax. This cut helps the poor and the middle class, who need every break they can get.

But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate.

My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.

So what's your point?  Why doesn't Buffet lead by example and cut a couple billion dollar check to the IRS today.  Nothing says he can't, so why doesn't he?  I mean, it is what he believes in...right?  Better yet, you should write him a letter demanding that he does.   :dunce:

All eight Republican candidates in the Iowa debate said they would not accept a budget with a 10-1 ratio of spending cuts to tax hikes..

Chalk one up to the crazies. If Congress wanted to get rid of tax exemptions and exclusions amounting to $100 billion in new taxes in exchange for $1 trillion in cuts, Republicans would turn it down.. :crazy:

This is why S&P Downgraded the USA.. The Teabagger Pledge..
