fuck...we are now all gonna be taxed to no end...how bout we punish the rich for being successful...chances are thats gonna happen now...sweeeeeeet
Taxed to no end, huh? I've never paid higher taxes than I have with Bush in office. Period.
As for punishing the rich, I think its a fair statement to say that the more $$$ you have, the more write-offs you have. the more write-offs you have, the less taxes you pay. Yes, the top 1% of Americans income-wise paid 37% of income taxes in 2004, the lower 50% ($30,100 annual income or less) of wage earners paid 3.3%. However, the top 2% control 98% of the money so porportionally they should be accountable for that amount of the taxes as well.

Abe also stated "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics" as well as "if I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it."

"in such a ruling an echo of Abraham Lincoln's famous 1855 letter to his friend Joshua Speed, in which the future president lays out a necessarily inclusive understanding of civil liberties and human rights. "We begin by declaring that 'all men are created equal,'" wrote Lincoln, who was then fretting over the rise of the anti-immigrant, Catholic-bashing, white-supremacist Know-Nothing Party. "We now practically read it, 'All men are created equal except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'All men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.'" (Emphasis in original). Lincoln's basic point—that we cannot have different rights for minorities without eventually undermining rights for all—remains true today.""What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union. This is how I see my official duty. It does not change my wish -- as a person -- that all men everywhere could be free."

Who cares what Abe lincoln said, and what does it have to do with our national debt, homeland security, and the fact healthcare in this country is non existent.
Lets spend x amount of dollars on a war to save a few dollars on some oil (and take care of a personal vengence...)
You have to spend money to make money right?
Where the fuck is our money?...
Also in other news, politics is overrated. There is no end to it.
And another thing I do not go to church as so many of you bible banging repulicans do. Maybe there is some weird connection with religion and politics somewhere that does not alow me to give a damn anymore?
Some say morals, I say quit reading the bible.
Sorry for the rant, now back to work.
