Please read this, you jerks who insist on forwarding all that crap to me and everyone else without checking it out first. It's pure bs and all you need to do is go to www.purportal.com or www.snopes.com and type in a few words about what strange subject your urgent email is about. Most of the time it's crap! If it sounds too good to be true, DUH!!!

Another thing everyone should learn to do is delete all that header garbage before forwarding and if the message has replicated 3 or 4 or 5 times, well hell, delete them too! I onlyneed to look at your stupid forward to me one time. And I don't need to see WHERE it came from -get rid of that crap! Its literally a waste of space !

Thank You!!

Are the cell phone numbers really going public today? There was a message circulating that said the numbers were going to be passed today and to expect calls from businesses, which would be charged to personal accounts. Is that true? Also included was a number to call to block the passage.

Yes, it's true. You haven't gotten any calls yet?

Please read this carefully and then read it again and again if necessary!!!
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below..........
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You are not going to believe this.
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is s true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening.
She quotes... " We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income,(didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest." ( I am not rich, are you)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'." (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. "Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it".
Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

I haven't researched the post above this one.
.
On the other hand, the heir apparent to the Throne of JFK wants to massively increase the dread "capital gains tax." You know, the tax that drains away the profits on your only major asset, your house, when you get old and want to get a smaller place. Increasing the capital gains tax, as Obama has promised to do, will mean fewer old people will be able to afford to sell their homes. That means, fewer young people who want to buy a home and raise a family will be able to find one. Ah, Obama! The answer to our nation's prayers!

Also, if you don't pass it on you are denying Christ and are a horrible Christian. And Oprah is starting a cult. And I STILL haven't gotten that check from Microsoft for passing on all those forwards...Seriously!!!

There is an e-mail circulating, supposedly from one of our troops, that Starbucks is not only supporting the war in Iran, BUT they are not supporting the troops. Is the latter true? Need to know.

Heads up, Diana!

There AIN'T no war in IRAN. At least, not yet.

You're probably thinking of the War in IRAQ.

Sorry, I meant Iraq. Too much on the mind I guess, however, I would like to know where Starbucks stands on the issue of not supporting our troops.
