Fine. That means since my fellow Americans and I pay your saleries then I'm your boss. Since I'm the boss then every one of you assholes is so fucking fired... Incompetence is not welcome in my "business".
I'll tell you what, if Bush, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Brown and Chertoff are still in office when the year is out I'm not paying any taxes. I'm not kidding. This is what my money supports? Sorry fuck you and the fake horse you rode in on.

4. Been entertaining the same idea.....
...as an 'Independant Contractor' (stupid title so a lazy boss doesn't have to fool with taxes and shit) I just might be able to do that.....

6. We never hired them to begin with.
They stole the 2000 election, then they stole it a second time, imo. They came to power in a hostile takeover.

Still we the people (the equivilent of stockholders) need to boot the CEO and his crony staff hires.

9. Nice thought at least
We're their boss. They work for us.

Not really true, but a comforting thought.

10. If you are running like a business - that War on Terror is really not
paying dividends. You could save the 100,000 Americans terrorists would kill if you just diverted that money to alternative energy sources. Global Warming will kill many more Americans as Category 5 hurricanes become normal.

11. Y'know, I think they are running it like a business...
... one specific business, in fact.


Union Carbide in Bhopal.
