Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 06:57 PM by Stuart G
How is that going to get through congress. Just asking.
Is it negative to ask for the truth?
I hope he can, and I want that to happen, but will the Pukes even allow a vote?..Just asking.

11. Of course he should offer ideas, and of course he needs to use the pulpit.

3. Oh, probably not.
But for one bright shining moment there was Camelot.

Notice how that rhymes?

Blessings to all,

13. Why do you think U.S. tax code is 71,684 pages in length?
Answer: So that they can have more of these § and these ¶.

If you are rich and powerful, you get to write the tax code and K-Street will ensure that one of those little thingys above, that was written by you and for the benefit of you, is on one of those 74,624 pages.

Another question: Why do you think 1% of the population controls 38% of the wealth?

Answer: Because our fedgov Representatives let them have it.

Now, do you really think Obama and the rest of the boys and girls in D & R of DC Group are going to do anything about it?

14. Will he fight to do away with some and keep some?
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 07:10 PM by Stuart G
and when the pukes try to destroy him,
will he fight back, and kick ass?
I sure hope so..no matter if the code changes or not. Cause these asshole pukes don't play fair, like Obama alludes to.
sure, I want this passed, but if they don't allow a vote or even a discussion, what then?

20. He is going to pretend like he is fighting for the People..,
However, he his eyes are focused on the prize of a second term.

It's really quite amusing to watch as each side, endeavors to blame the other. Even so, both sides are right; for both sides are responsible for letting K-Street have the run of the store.

16. Will the simple threat of closing loopholes trick the ceos into repatriating their
international profits? Cause they could be rightfully worried that if Obama wins in 2012, and wins the House, the ceos would be up the creek without a paddle.

Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 11:17 PM by kenny blankenship
So watch your back, waste, fraud and abuse - we're coming for ya. Yup. Then we'll be able to afford our obligations again, plus a few extras too, and all lwithout having to do something crazy like tax the rich.
