  • once again , you don't buy me a new car , i can't aford it , but i need one ,the gov owen's GM ! I need health ins , so the gov should give it to me !

    wait they don't own the ins bis yet ! Health INS is a perk not a right !!!!!! the day i pay for your health ins is the day the government makes me take a flue shot , lol wait cdc has that on their books ,enjoy your flue shots this fall!!!

  • @fletcho11 you can't use straw-man arguments - HEALTH CARE is a basic human right in all 1st world countries besides the U.S !

  • Comment removed

  • BTW 53% of people now oppose this government takeover of healthcare.

  • Italy has the second best healthcare in the world under public healthcare. Why wouldn't someone who patriotic and loves their country want such reform for America?

  • Why would you want this country run like ITALY???

    BTW how many years did you live under socialist medicine? I did for 22 years.

  • Perhaps the reason for me wanting to run the US like those nations that use Universal healthcare is because its a proven system and I expect the best for my fellow Americans. This debate is not about you or I its about the American families.

  • Italy has the second best healthcare in the world under public healthcare. Why wouldn't someone who patriotic and loves their country want such reform for America. Its clear that what is best for American families is not in the interest of these detractors.

  • If you think you will get timely treatments with a government ran health care system you better find someone from Canada and ask them how quickly they get seen. If government ran health care is the answer why do so many people from other countries come to the USA for treatment? Government is never the answer!!!

  • So we should create a massive tax, that will cost tens of thousands of people their jobs...... I would rather have a job, than health care.

    Drastically lower taxes, and millions of jobs will come back in months.

  • One main reason why health care cost are so high is becuse those with insurance have to pay for those who are not covered and still get treatement. The illegal immigrants have taken the lions share of the funds. (Direct words from an employee responsible for non paying patients).

  • bullllllllllllllshittttttttttt­ttttttttttt

  • Having a federal job is even worse! The fed wanted me to pay for my school'n and support a family while in school for many semester's with no federal pay. The state of NC denied my repetative

    unemployment claim's! We were bad off and getting into debt and then they terminated me in dec. with no reason why! I made good grade's and job review's! I really could care less about my country.....

  • This health care/cap trade is a very big tax on us that they will make money on ruining america's greedy corp's! They need those to get fiat money taxes!

  • If your a single man in college and you get hurt in college and need surgery because of the poor safety condition's in college you will not get any help from the college or from the social service's! They only help women and children first. They do not help healthy white single men.......

  • doctors need to lower their rates. All medical services need to be lower so people can pay for them without insurance. thats the way it ways in the 50's and earlier.

  • The private insurance companies are criminals. They bumped me off of coverage by doubling my premium when I became ill. They want it both ways, they want to collect premiums when you are well, but not pay out when you are sick. My cousin also has insurance and they only want to pay for half her chemotherapy treatments. They don't provide any value or utility to customers. There is no capitalism in the U.S.; there is only corporatism.

  • We should have the same thing that Congress and the President has. The SAME plan......But of course, their health care has absolutely no relationship to what the rest of America has....unless you are very, very wealthy.

  • I think that if you're employed and have a decent income then getting reasonable health care isn't a problem for you.

    If you have a life threatening condition, have children with chronic mental disorders, are of a lower income, unemployed, or dropped from your insurance company because of a "pre-existing condition" then you're either in debt or dead.

    That sounds pretty shitty to me. Something needs to be done but I don't think a gov't run plan should be our only option.

  • The state already provides medical assistance for uninsured individuals. There are programs in place. I have an uncle that has cancer and he was uninsured but he still received the coverage WITHOUT Federalized health care.

    This Federalized health care is a power grab that will take private control from EVERYBODY and put it into control of the government's hands. It is unnecessary. It is unamerican. It is WRONG.

    Everybody should contact their representatives and make their voices heard!!!!

  • If I had a catostrophic illness, the state and federal govt may help....but first I would have to sell everything of value that I own, including my home. If I had nothing, I would have free health care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are 1000's here that never work and get free healthcare and free food and free lodging and on and on......but if you work hard and get sick....you first have to lose everything you worked your entire life for...better to be poor and sick than middle class!

  • I'm the kind of guy BO and the dems fear the most. I was not born into a wealthy family. Yet somehow I managed to get an education, develop a career, Raise a family which by the way has ever been w/o healthcare, I have a mortgage payment I can afford because I didn't borrow beyond my means and I have planned for a comfortable retirement. . Thank you Mr. Obama but I don't need your handouts and your control of my life. I can get along quite well on my own.

  • YES SUDDENLY IT'S TIME>> NOT LIKE YEARS AND FUCKING YEARS AGO.

    fuck this. I hate this country and all you fucking morons in it.

    NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THIS> HELLO!???

  • i really hope people hear more about this than what the dem robots want to be heard. this is crap. welcome to the USSA.

  • do you know why there isn't a socialist party anymore in the u.s? simple. the democratic party took over their agenda, making them redundant.

  • How about we limit what laywers get in sueing heathcare providers aka John Edwards.

  • I'm with you brother - deport the illegals. Why should we pay our hard earned tax dollars on them????

  • Because not that long ago your ancestors arrived here and killed who ever opposed. If you know the real history of the area of where the problems are right now. You would realize they were here before you and no matter how much you want them to leave it's there's by birthwrite.Kick over an ant hill and the ants will return to the spot were there home has always been.We are not leaving go back to europe faggot.

  • Screw the DNC - Obama wants to tax us to death!

  • If we use CO2 sequestration Nevertheless, one should keep in mind thatthis is an end-of-pipe solution, and should therefore be considered only once amaximum efficiency improvement has been achieved on the power production process first.The net reduction of emissions to the atmosphere will be costly!

  • The loss is in overall efficiency of power plants or industrial processes due to the additional energy required for capture, transport and storage! CO2 sequestration is an advanced Technology and is being used a tax vehicle for the Obama Administration! America is simply not ready for Cap & Trade Sham's!

  • The question on the minds of many people? with consciences who are so aghast at the sudden savagry of the new Democratic Marxist-based policies of the U.S. goverment is how has the American public so silently and willingly acquiesced to the dishonest and Freedom Robbing attitudes of Mr.Obama and his criminal Wall Street Cartel.

  • the media was bought out and when you only hear one side of a sitch..especially the young and stupid, well, you get B.O. and his merry band of idiots. there were many of us crying & screaming against this man (B.O.) we were either ignored or ridiculed. remember joe the plumber? yeah...there you have your answer.

  • Allow me to translate: "My nigger son is retarded to bright lights and anything that moves, IT MUST BE THE DOING OF THE WHITE MAN (devil)! I guess'm gonna have to sacrifice him to black Jesus (A.K.A. BARRAY BRAKKKITY OBAMA) FUCK THE WHITE MAN, NIGGA!"

  • Sheeple is often used to denote persons who? voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived authority, or suggestion without sufficient research to understand fully the scope of the ramifications involved in that decision, and thus undermine their own human individuality or in other cases give up certain rights.

  • Your fiat money system is Broke!

    Your party is in power now and your realizing the economic mess was caused by crook's and fiat money! The monitary finical sytem will go on because the fiat money is only backed by taxing the people's! Cap and trade is also crazy! It resembles the defunct (71') Bretton Woods system and will fail only after the Republicanism put's their foot up some democratic ass!

  • FUCK OBAMA he's a fucking LIAR!

    Why should we pay for illegal immigrants to get free health care? FUCK THEM! DEPORT THEM!

    I was for this healthcare plan until I read this provision was in the bill.

    I hate you Obama you fucking LIAR!

  • Joe Libermann has received over $6 MILLION from the Health Insurance Industry.

    He's now not working for what's best for most Americans but what is best for the Insurance companies - he will not support "the public option".

    We must work to see that Joe Liberman is replaced by a GOPer or Dem who'll work for the American Public.

  • just get us out of iraq like you promised you cock sucking dems.

  • check out "DENNIS KUCINICH tells the truth about healthcare"

    on youtube. government has done such great work with mortgages, lets' give it heathcare. Barney Frank can run it (into the ground)

  • Wow, that's great...I'm pretty sure all Americans are for Health Care, but We're not for a plan that is gona cost 1 trillion dollars and it's gona spend more than we save, specially when we are broke right now.

    If you want a REAL healthcare reform, tax Pharmaceutical companies who sell a drug for $50 when they could sell it for $25. But no ofc neither dems or reps will do that because they get paid for their campaign funds by these giant companies.

    We will never get TRUE healthcare reform.

  • Let's start with tort reform.

  • The US government has had control of our healthcare system for over 30 years. HMO's, PPO's, Medicare, from mandates and regulation, to sky-rocketing inflation caused by the policies of the Federal Reserve System.

    People don't realize that in the United States 30 years ago (or from the beginning, for that matter) no one was denied healthcare from hospitals. No one. Things were so good that people didnt even need insurance for check-ups and small expenses, either.

  • Hey how bout you back that up with a source?

    30 years ago was 1979... not famous for being an era of plenty and contentment. Then again it WAS the last days before Reaganism swept over this country (CA excepted) like a disease.

    Frank Rich's Op Ed today talks of the 'death throes' of the Reagan generation. I'm not so sure. The names Alex Jones & Ron Paul show remind one that there are still plenty of gullible lumpen populists in this country, even among the younger generation.

  • "Jesus tells a story about a rich man and a beggar who lies outside the rich man's gates. The rich man dies and goes to hell, while the beggar dies and goes to heaven. This is one story Jesus tells in which somebody is actually in hell after they have died. What is the reason? The rich man refused to be generous with the poor man, letting him live a hell on earth right outside his front door. "

    Christians my ass man. This is from Velvet Elvis (A great book on the Christian Faith).

  • Do we really want these shitty bills to pass? The public option is watered down to impotency and the private insurers get more money.

  • It seems none of these people cared about health care, that is, until they did not have it, if laid off or fired there is COBRA, but it is not free, The UAW gives laid off workers 95% of thier salary and pays for thier health care, so a lot of this is democrat bullshit, Nobama wants socialized medicine, he now controls the banks, the auto industry, the teachers union, the SEIU, ACORN, if he gets the health industry, he will have America by the balls, and it is the voters who gave it to him.

  • who keeps slinging this socialist crap? Why don't U put getting the tyranistic gov under control. This is just propaganda at it's finest. Anytime they say "it's for the kids" it's not, it's for more control for them. "no child left behind" was an ad campaign to attract illegal families to off set the crimes being committed by men w/ nothing 2 lose. Placing a greater burden on the state so they can demand more tax $. HANDOUT RETARDS

  • lets put our kids 300000 dollers deeper in dept that they will be born with. Thank you Democrats for screwin me, my kids, and probably their kids to pay back crap that wont work and supportind our insane taxation an our endless stimulus money packages.

  • ...It's time to quit taking my hard earned money

    Time to quit spending my money on stupid shit

    Time to get your noses out of the pivate sector...Democrats don't care about people, only their vote.

    But it's all good because they let the power go to their head and screwed up like I knew they would

  • OKAY DUDE, start saving every fucking dime you make because when you have a medical emergency it will take all the money you have earned and then some. Even if you have insurance it won't be enough. You might as well file for bankruptcy right now!!!

  • Oh, so you make over +350K/yr, then? Not bad for a 22 y/o.

    Forgive me if I don't weep for these people. I just don't share your fawning Uncle Tom attitude.

    The median household income in this country in 2007 was $50,000. "Household" median. And no doubt sinking daily.

    ACTUALLY small businesses will do better by not having to offer (or more often fail to offer) crappy workplace-based insurance policies.

  • You must have one of those "crappy workplace-based insurance policies." Otherwise you wouldn't want to deny health care to others.

  • Perfect nonsense.

    This is reform to EXPAND health coverage. And even though this'll be much more expensive than single payer (though still much better than the status quo), the public option is just that: an OPTION.

    Those with the sweet gummint-job benefits packages or whatever can stick with exactly what they have.

    In fact the risk w/ public option is that private insurers will cherry-pick the healthier & wealthier demographics, concentrating more expensive individuals in the public plan.

  • Private insurers already cherry-pick the healthier and wealthier demographics. They leave the insured costs to be picked up by emergency rooms, which we all pay for. This reform will definitely expand coverage. that is the point.

  • I feel bad for these people to, I think they should be covered....But I don't wanna spend $1 Trillion that we don't have.

    The CBO (appointed by Pelosi and Reid) said that this wouldn't lower costs...It would RAISE costs. Reid then got pissed and said some stupid comment.

  • I do not buy more taxes for Democrats to distribute any way they feel is necessary to get a vote.

  • you can't sell us on this garbage

  • zoopolitikos.wordpress. com (without the space before com)

    for an objective commentary on Palin, Obama, foreign policy and American politics

  • fuck all the political parties bitches

  • this is the best thing i have see all day.

  • I cant wait till we all beg the Feds for every scrap of food, every drop of water, every gallon of fuel, every form of medical treatment. You fools that want this need to wake up. This is not the answer. More government control in your life is NOT the answer. IT IS NOT TIME. The time has come for us to make these treasonous leaders in Washington accountable for what they have done to this country. We need to audit the Fed, we need to expose 911, we need to take back this republic.

  • Do you know who controls things if the government doesn't step in? The insurance companies, the oil companies, the banks, and all of the other multi-billion dollar companies that would rather give corporate bonuses to their executives than not lay off workers. The entire purpose of a government is to control things FOR the citizens; who can not and are not willing to do it themselves. The government is there to control the people that want to control YOU.

  • how old are you? you sound very naive.

  • justhesh,

    You made the statement, "The government is there to control the people that want to control YOU. "

    Why don't you take a good hard look at who contributes the most to political campaigns in this country.

    I'll give you a hint, it's not we the people.

  • open secrets rocks.

  • justfish; If what you say is true, then the government has not done its job, people in Washington do not care, the only time they mingle with the peons is when they want votes, we have congressmen and women, like Mike Castle, a republican from Delaware, who after recieving calls not to vote for the cap and tax, and "agonizing" over his decision, although not reading or knowing what he was voting for, went against the people of Delaware, and voted for the tax. THE VOTERS WILL REMEMBER.

  • anyone looked into how they will pay for this? they are taxing the hell out of the rich. now a guy who worked really hard for what he has will have to go without so that a non-english speaking family of 8 from guatemala on welfare can see the doctor for free.

    the bad thing about socialism, is eventually you run out of other people's money.

    obama = trickle up poverty = FAIL.

  • We are already paying for it in higher premiums and emergency room costs. The goal is to do it more efficiently, through getting more people insured and getting care that way then emergency rooms. Yes taxing someone 1% that is making over $300K a year is income redistribution. But so is paying higher premiums and emergency room costs.

  • This is just a way for democrats to give health care to illegal aliens so they will vote democrat and keep these people in power

  • boo fucking hoo

    this isnt reform this is taxing people who produce things in this country and giving it to people that do not.

    this is socialism plain and simple and it

    is noit what americans want

  • Crb4059, you are a fucking idiot, I was recently diagnossed with a rare form of stomach cancer. I have been with the same HC provider for 14 years and they refused me treatment insisting it is a pre existing condition! Where is this government interference you talking about moron?? As it is we are going to have to take a second morgage on our house, one we can't afford. I need health care not fake statistics from know nothing assholes like you.

  • This is total bullshit, the dems are just as bad as the reps.

    9/11 was an inside job, we are moving closer and closer to a NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

    These commercials are clearly communist propaganda.

    "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, including their own government."

  • working so dam good for Massachusetts legal immigrants being denied health care can't wait to see the illegals freak out when obama tells em no

    Spend our money on WARS not HEALTHCARE.

    Fox News June 2006

    The real cost to the US of the Iraq war is likely to be between $1 trillion and $2 trillion (£1.1 trillion), up to 10 times more than previously thought, according to a report written by a Nobel prize-winning economist and a Harvard budget expert.

    Spend our money on WARS not HEALTH CARE.

    They estimate that continuing the previous policy of containment with a deployment of 28,000 troops in Turkey, the Middle East and the Persian Gulf would have cost $14.5 billion a year for many years to come. And they say containment eventually could have failed.

  • National health care is a bad idea.

  • you will get a health care program which will kill you!!!

  • The dem cwards are attemptoing to pass thru the still of night with no scrutiny no oversight no dissent nothing, they will control 1/6 of our entire ecnomomy?!!?!? and these cowards want no oversight? This will push taxes to nearly 60% of income for many Americans. The Dem cowards also are attaching the hate crime bill (that will FURTHER illegalize FREE SPEECH) to our annual defense bill and anyone who votes no will be blamed for abandining our troops. Dems are such hypcorites, cheats & liars.

  • Health care costs have skyrocketed because of so much govt intervention, the HC Provider cannot so much breathe w/o bureacratic red tape, not to mention how much care is given out for FREE,we all pay the costs of the indigents, HC provviders exist to make a profit and its best way to keep hc alive in this country. Why do foreign leaders forgo their own nationalized HC tro come here for better quality care? I ma warning ppl that MANY MORE will die under a socialized system this is VERY dangerous.

  • because LEADERS, have the phucking money for it, dumbass.most of america doesnt. were not leaders.

  • Yeah, its time representatives....quit taxin the hell out of me and redistributing what little money I have left!

    Screw your national health care!

  • Note, almost none of my questions were answered except with radical leftist talking points.

  • First of all it's YOUR side that has the talking points, not ours; O'Reilly has a segment called talking points. Second we do but you never answer ours.

  • Now you will provide proof I even watch that guy. I thought not.

  • Its time for our government to tell us the world will end if we dont get this approved (again) Just like the limp stimulus package..

    It's time to go further into debt.

    It's time to tell our old people they are expendable (read the bill).

    It's time for the Gov to select your provider. (Read the bill)

    It's time to pay more income taxes for less choices.

    Get off your ass, Read the bill and stop being a tool.

  • WAAAAHH

    WAAAAH

    WAAAAAAAHH

    it's time my next door neighbor pay for my lazy ass to go to the doctor because i gots the sniffles!

  • No mention of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and all the rest of the Wall Street Mafia Criminals?

    Why do Democrats love Banksters so much?

  • For the same reason republicans do.

  • The Democrats are taking bribes from crooked bankers like Republicans?

    You're probably right. Think I vote against Democrats.

  • Public health care= higher taxes+lower quality care

    Why don't people see that? We do need reform, but if your best idea is to have the government take over it, then you are an idiot.

  • you're the fucking idiot. government would be handling insurance for those who choose not to go with corporate insurers.. ITS THE SAME DR YOU MORON. If people like their corporate insurance so much, go ahead and stay with them.

  • It doesn't mean higher taxes if you take the money from somewhere else. It actually translates into less taxes when they go to a doctors office this way, than if they go into an er like the currently do.

    If this goes thru keep the insurance you have and go to a private hospital. That's what I'm going to do. Why would you purchase this plan if you don't agree with it and can afford something better?

    That is an idiot in my mind.

  • So you plan to foist crappy insurance on everyone else then avoid it yourself by going to the same "evil" insurance company you just demonised for a whole day.

    HYPOCRITE!!

  • What makes you think that insurance company or private hospitals will exist in this country except for the ultra-rich???

  • I just found out that my employers dental plan will not cover any major dental work i.e. Crowns or bridges until after a full fucking year of coverage. GET THE DAM JOB DONE DEMOCRATS OR YOURE DONE.

  • Do you think your government will cover your dental plan? Can we pay your mortgage as well for you? How about your credit cards? Your car? Yes, you see that's what George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton and all those guys had in mind. Any bills you have just let us know and we will all chip in and pay them for you. Do you believe these people? This is the mentality of a liberal with their hand out thinking the government will take care of them. Pathetic!

  • You don't ever have to worry about paying for anything of mine. If you took the time to learn what the words you are saying ACTUALLY mean, you wouldn't vote republican. Well, unless Paul ran again with an R next to his name.

    With republicans you are paying corporations trillions, with the democrats millions, and most of the 3rd party candidates hundreds. Corporate welfare is more expensive than social welfare. Yes, I'd rather pay for people than corrupt banks.

  • You're the pathetic loser. Without govt. intervention we would still have black smoggy skies, children working in unsafe conditions, and giant monopolies. You dumbass rednecks are so naive, buying into commercials and thinking corporations are on your side.

  • Yes, your government will save the day led by your messiah Obama. They really fixed welfare, hunger, public schools, medicare, etc..... So, national heathcare is something they will provide like a well oiled machine. Keep on believing in your government as they really fixed things good. How about the quadrupled national debt your kids and their grandchildren will be paying for? You are such a wise man. Let me guess GED? Do I have this about right?

  • So you are a bigot as well.

  • No, I NOT asking the dam government to pay for a dam thing, but what I am asking them to do is to level the dam playing field. And by the way I'm not a liberal I'm a republican so stop judging books by the cover. Pathetic!

  • You are a republican like i'm a monkey's uncle! NO republican looks at a preseident to "level the playing field". To what level? By what definition of unfair? Because you are a loser? So, the government needs to step in because you don't know your arse from your elbow? How about you get off your couch and find your own success in life? How about that? You expect to be handed your fairness on a silver platter from the government? Get a job and stop your whining! You are a socialist drone!

  • Oh yeah, the government will fix everything! They sure do a swell job at medicare, social security, welfare, etc.... Why would anyone think they will totally wreck national healthcare? These fine efficient "job for life" government employees will be on your side and fight for you during their banking hours. Trillions of dollars of your taxes will be so free! I can't wait to wait 2 weeks to see a doctor and months to get treatment! I cant wait when they tell me my treatment is too costly!

  • Think health care is expensive now? Wait till it's free.

  • It is time.. but not this plan. Why do I have to pay for everyones health care??

  • rhickle... Because in Obama-land it's fair and just. You see if you are average or higher in the wage scale you must of trampled over less fortunate people in your life to succeed. Thus it's time to be punished and Mr Obama will see to it that lots ot your money will be redistributed to those you trampled over. You see, everyone must be equal. Not not equal in riches, but equal in poverty. While your President flys to Broadway shows, you must come to terms that your money does not belong to you.

  • The poor pay a higher percentage tax than the rich. Asking every citizen to pay the same percentage is unfair?

    Dallas? That is in the state asking to succeed like whiny bitches 2 months ago and just asked the federal government for millions of dollars last week? Why should I have my tax dollars in Chicago sent to Texas because you guys don't know what the fuck you are doing or what you want?

  • I'm sorry billions of dollars.... Dr. Evil moment.

  • The bottom 50% pay NO income tax. God you are dense.

  • Jophus82.... You would make a fine government accountant. the poor pays higher percentage of taxes than the rich? What a dumb comment! That tax rates from the IRS will easily point out how stupid that comment was. 2nd the poor gets whatever taxes they do pay back in most cases and some poor actually get back more tax money than they ever paid in. So, your wacky math doesn't compute. Try going to college. What the hell are you talking about your chicago taxes going to texas? You are on meds!

  • When they spend 60% of their income on goods and the sales tax is 8%, and the rich spend .001% on groceries and goods that 8% is a higher tax on the poor person. Get it? You probably don't have sales tax in texas and that is why i'm getting back a fraction of a dollar per dollar I pay in taxes in chicago.

    Dumb fuck states receive more/dollar they pay in federal taxes, and blue states get less. it is transferring wealth from us to you.

    Who needs an education?

  • Hello again. Please see my response below prior to reading this one. It will help to clarify my position. As stated before, your arrogance combined with your utterly nonsensical position amuses me. When my girlfriend and I go to a restaurant and we run up a $300 bill I am most certainly paying more in taxes than your fast food extravaganza on an average Saturday night.

  • If you only knew what a drain your ignorant ass is on society, whether you get welfare or not, you'd slit your wrists. Look into what happens with the taxes you pay after you send the check. It is your civic duty to know how this shit works. After you learn how taxes work, take a basic math class and be sure to ask about fractions.

  • jophus82.... I didn't know mental patiens like yourself had access to computers.

    Hey dummy 8% of $1 equals 8% of 1$ for everyone. Did you get your GED online?

    This is why dumb people shouldn't be allowed to vote!

  • Good job. Now if both people bought 100 dollars worth of groceries they both pay 8 dollars. I'm not going to explain fractions to you, but that 8 dollars is a higher rate on someone making 30k a year than it is for someone making 800 million a year.

    They don't teach fractions in red states?

  • 8/30,000 > 8/800,000,000

    Do you know what the sideways v means? Think of an alligator. Alligators want to eat the biggest thing they can. So the mouth points to the big number. Do you understand why? Because it is greater than the other.

  • Hello Jophus. I'm all for being intellectually arrogant when it is called for. In your case, it isn't. Your above math is correct. However, your formula does not represent eight percent of either 30,000 or 800,000,000. Percentage is calculated by multiplication, not division. An 8% tax on someone making 30 grand is $2,400. 8% of 800,000,000 is $64,000,000. Your self confidence is misplaced. Went to a public school to learn your math, huh? No offense to anyone who got a GOOD public education.

  • Hi. I'm glad you called me out on my arrogance, because I was for sure being an ass. I was in a very bad mood last night.

    I was talking about a specific sale on a single purchase and comparing that amount to their overall annual income, hence the fraction. $8 out of (insert income).

    I personally use fractions to compute percentage versus multiplying a decimal. Personal prefrence.

    I did go to public high school.

  • You're burnt! I can do that with every fucked up piece of your "logic." Now just trust the adults to take care of business and stay in that sandbox you call Texas.

  • jophus82... Don't go away mad. I didn't mean to call your hero and messiah Obama a marxist! He can't help it, the Soviet Union was just his symbol of a great way of life. People singing in the wheat fields working for thier government making government wages and buying meat in their government stores (after waiting in line 6 hours). I'm sure he thinks government healthcare is a step closer to his desire of a government nation and soon he will pronounce himself el Presidente' for life!

  • I just sent you a peace offerring in your private messages where I gave you the information on Texas and taxes I was talking about. I also went ahead and told you all about how I don't like Obama. Democrats are generally too corporate for my tastes.

    I like how you changed the subject to more shit you don't know anything about, after destroyed your last brilliant observation.

    I have a condo in River North and North Miami Beach. I've probably paid more taxes than you'll ever earn in salary.

  • Oh so you are not only stupid but arrogant too! great combination! Who gives a rats about your condo? For a guy so vested in Chicago taxes you now seem to live in Miami Beach. I need to put my boots on talking to you. I suspect you are a typical liberal who feels it's easier to have the goverment pay you and also send you cheese than to actually have a job. So, I smell serious BS here! Anti corporate too? I'd never guess! Yes, the government will fix everything in your utopian world.

  • he is a liberal progress who has no idea what progressive taxation means.

  • River North is chicago.... winter in miami. you asked if i wanted you to pay for my mortgage. I don't have a fucking mortgage. I did work for a living and I left that career to pursue another degree.... where i'm currently at.

    Clearly I'm the one with the bs. I'm the only one giving facts instead of spouting the party propaganda I've been fed

    Give your money to GM and AIG. I am anti-corporate. Under capitalism they are only supposed to take my money when I pay for something, not my taxes too

  • Yeah Joshua82 you are a rich liberal. That's your story and you are sticking to it. Let me ask you something. Simce you are so rich then you must of gotten that money from trampling over others according to your god Obama. So, it would be only fair to give up that money (before the government takes it) and hand it to the poor since you obtained the money by taking it from them in the first place. So, rich man, hand over the money! Or are you a tpical do as I say not as I do liberal?

  • Yeah, my business is my business... You guys are always wanting to know what it is, to the point that you would even sneak legislation thru congress to wiretap illegally to find out.

    I'm not rich. I can just take care of myself the way I want to live. Am I to assume that since you turned to personal inquiry and insult that you are out of ideas (like your party)? Should I expect to be called a faggot next?

    I'm gunna go find a blowjob now. You bore me.

  • Wiretap? Oh so now the Bush government wiretapped you huh? You are so freaken important that Joshua82 needed to be wiretapped. If you arn't the dumbest guy on youtube you are in the top 10 for sure! Your not rich but you don't have a mortgage man from Chicao who lives in Miami. Let me guess you live in a 1 room rental apartment eating a TV dinner wtaching Southpark. And now you are with your blowup doll. Case closed!

  • You got me. Ouch.

    Alright, I gotta go cash my welfare check at the liquor store before my dealer runs out of crack and all the good hookers are taken. My baby should be ok if it is sleeping right??? Damnit, I should have just had that bitch get an abortion.

  • Sounds like you've done this before.

  • That asshole wouldn't shut up, so I left 1000 comments. I don't know which one you are referring to. :-) Hookers? Pay Taxes? lol.

  • I was referring to your idiotic comments.

    Specifically, regarding the "You got me ouch." Statement.

    But being the troll you are, you knew this didnt you?

  • Earilier you said you lived in chicargo. LIAR

  • (final post of four) A final piece of friendly advice: Before you ridicule someones education or math skills.....check your work. Take the idea that you have expressed back to your teachers and I'm sure they will explain your error in reasoning and SIMPLE math.

  • My "work" was anecdotal -correct too by the way- not an annual report. Are you aware that multiplication and division are interchangeable? You are referring to your education as high school. Talk to me when you reference at least one degree.

  • (continued from above) The taxes I paid on my Lexus far exceed whatever measly amount you paid when you bought your used Ford Taurus. My property tax rate is higher as well. (I guarantee this one.) Do you spend a higher percentage of your income on daily necessities than I do? Perhaps. Regardless, the wealthy shoulder the vast majority of the tax burden in the United States.

  • I'd love to see you pull into the valet at my building with your Lexus. 19333 N. Collins Ave.

    What is with the personal attacks? I'm willing to have a discussion with you if you keep to the issues. The way you are trying to flaunt wealth is proof that you don't have it. I know the humility that people with money have when it comes to that issue.

    So from here on out, I'm only responding to issue based responses.

  • wow jake, u call people arrogant yet in every one of ur posts its YOUR arrogance thats bringing people down, talking about ur worship of money and materialism. nobody cares where u and ur empty vessel of a girlfriend go to eat or how much you spend.

  • Be sure to notice the results of the last election that MANDATES that we address the issues that are plaguing our country.

  • So obama winning by about the same as bush in 2004 is suddenly a "mandate"???

  • Ok. I thought you were reasonable when I sent you that pm telling you if you wanted to have a serious discussion do it where I wouldn't have a character limit. Obama has not come close to outspending Bush. You know where all that bank bailout money came from right? Bush. You that many people voted in 2004? You are diluted and just fighting against something instead of fighting for something... You're wasting both of our time. Get bent.

  • Not outspending bush. Hmmmm that explains why obamas defict in the first year is more than 5 of bushes years....

  • What was the deficit for 2009? Who wrote that budget?

  • Its increasing by the day and the democrats in congress wrote that budget, a majority of it was signed by obama.

  • Also what happened the last part of Obama's first year? I guess I fell asleep.

  • Republicans still don't like facts?

    2004 US Presidential Election:

    Popular Vote - Bush 62,000,000 (Kerry 59,000,000)

    Electoral Vote - Bush 286 (Kerry 251)

    2008 US Presidential Election:

    Popular Vote - Obama 69,000,000 (McCain 59,000,000)

    Electoral Vote - Obama 365 (McCain 173)

  • Obama won by more than Bush did in 2004 (popular vote) and by a landslide in the Electoral College. Obama's party also handily in congressional races. Yes, the 2008 election was a mandate. The Republicans were repudiated heavily by the electorate.

  • I'd also like to point out that Bush did not win either election.

  • Thus you are exposed as an idiot since he clearly won both. Fucking moron.

  • Clearly Bush won the election when he got less votes than Gore in the general election in 2000 and there was absolutely no question about the mass voting fraud in Ohio 2004.

  • Did you go to school at all? The general vote doesn't decide the election. The electorial college does.

    As for 2004, There is no proof of that and it makes you no different from the idiot truthers.

    Not worth talking to. You are beneath me.

  • no one, in all of you tube, is beneath you kiwi.

  • I'm sorry, Socialism is what we (liberals) are talking about. Not the democrats. They are talking about corporate competition. Similar to what USPS is to FedEx and UPS.

    Call your representatives and tell them you want single-payer at the table.

  • just a FYI the USPS is subsidized because it cant compete with FedEx and UPS.

    it's also illegal for FedEx and UPS to deliver mail.

  • Honestly, I had just heard that on another thread and didn't even look into it yet. It is still the best simile I've heard. The only one actually.

  • Also look up Amtrak & Tennessee valley authority (TVA). federally Owned & tax payer subsidized company's. GM will never go back to being a Private company

    if you have the time, the TVA is a good one to check out. it was built by FDR during the last great depression. it recently was in the news.
