If this doesn't totally make your blood finally boil, you're in a coma.

That aside, anyone with that style of haircut has gotta be believed...

That's helping...........I just finished filing my taxes this weekend. I can't believe how much money the government is stealing from me to give to those people!!!!!

I like his haircut, I like his words, I like his suit. Now what?

 

[1978 NYB]

Pisses me off how carefree the government is with my tax dollars.

 

[commando1]

I have never asked for one penny in handouts. And my SS?
I paid in over 41 years more than I'll get back in 20. If I or SS last that long.

I like his words...

Not one word could be said that he took facts out of context or spun anything in a biased light. He was concise and totally accurate.

yes you do, otherwise you wouldnt have said anything

I can't remember what program that I watched about some SS stats, but they claimed in order to keep the system alive, the average worker that pays in through retirement can only collect for 2 years, and this is another reason that they want to increase the retirement age.

It seems they really like to beat down the working stiffs and milk them for everything that they possibly can.

This was a chain email (spam Email-address collector) supposedly from Warren Buffet which has some good points, but it will never happen with a direct conflict of interest, having the leaches themselves calling the shots.

1. No Tenure / No Pension.​

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.​

Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work​

More than half this country voted for President Obama, TWICE!! The game is already over.

 

[polara71]

I still dont believe that. When W won the first election I knew the fix was in. Then he won the second and I knew the party was over

 

[70NPORT]

I don't agree with many things that "W" did, but I don't get half as angry when I see him on TV (rarely these days) as I do when I see the current president.

 

[polara71]

I got Ill when I saw W on the tube when he was in office, he appeared to be an idiot who got where he did because of dad and old money. If I see W on TV now I just shake my head. This pres? again I just shake my head because it cant be true

 

[70NPORT]

I can only speak for myself, but financially speaking I did way better under Bush than I have these past 4 yrs. Doubt anything will change by 2016.

 

[polara71]

That was a carry over from the Clinton years, you do realize that? NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!
