Osama Bin laden said he wanted to bring the financial sector and the government of the United States to its knees, and we labeled him a terrorist; the Tea Party has said the same thing and they call themselves "Patriots." This is the most effective messaging we can proclaim and unfortunately for the GOP TP Clan, it will be believed.

Stan, after the GOP is through with the tea baggers, they will no longer need them, Look around----do you seee thier leader Dick Army any where anymore? where has he gone to? there has even been cancellation of TP conventions and gathering. Afterall no one is showing up to hear the rhetoric they spout and even the buses have disappeared. And where has thier leader ship gone to? Zero to near none show up at the gathering anymore or at least only the ones that came to do the speaking. Its getting lonely out there for tea baggers. the glass has run dry.

why should you single out the rich? They earned their money why should they pay more than they now do when 49-51% of the people in this country pay NOTHING! How about a flat tax for everyone, that way everyone pays taxes.

Agin I say, ask the rich and the privileged be sked to help pay off OUR NATIONS DEBT. We shall not know the answertill the asking takes place and how would one refuse such a request of our nation. Should not the question be asked and answered?
Why not ask "all" Americans to pay off the national debt? Why should 49-52% of those that pay NO TAXES (but benifit from all this country has)get a free ride. Tax everyone with a flat tax. Why should only the rich be taxed more (again). Why do you think it is OK just to take (tax) a portion of the population and not all of the population? Just because I have "earned" or "have" more than you I should give it (via taxes) to someone else?
Half of the people in this country pay NO federal income tax! Is that fair? Any income should be taxed, if it is an unearned
entitlment it should be taxed the same as income.

The poor didnt creat jobs the last time I looked, and what America needs is to have a Flat Tax so every one pays the same percentage in taxes. Not just singling out one group of people.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Virgo

Matters of the heart take an unexpected turn today. You might be strongly attracted to someone you've never looked at twice until now, or you could fall for someone who's much older or younger than you. If you're already involved in a relationship, either you or your partner will want to make it more exciting and spontaneous. Is this a suggestion that will go down well?
