i suspect that these people wouldve preferred the tories in 1776

Of course you are, you're the intended audience for Mitt's speech when he gave it.

Damn those seniors and military people and disabled people and working poor for not wanting to find a way to get out of their non-income tax paying ways.

Having tax-exempt income as a servicemember means you are in a combat zone.

So the wife and the kids back home are the losers then.  Swell.

Servicemembers are entitled to food so damn them too.

Christ, how much of that koolaid do you drink a day?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Just curious-does anyone else kind of associate themselves with the side they "look like"?  My father is medium height, big nose, broad-shouldered, (had) curly dark-brown hair, fairly thick beard with a lot of body hair.  I'm very tall, blonde, medium-width, massively long limbs, shit beard.  I feel like a Saxon, even though I'm pretty sure my dad (at least as far as phenotype is concerned) is about as purely pre-Germanic as you would get.

Was a little surprised to learn that Dutch came up with the Earned Income Tax Credit.  I had thought it was Bubba's idea.

Biscuit, were you being serious or hyperbolci with your hypothetical example of somebody getting back 13k on 4k taxes paid because of child care credit or whatever?

I look Jewish.  People frequently think I'm a Jew.  Of course I vote for Democrats.

:lol:  I've done this before too.  You get so worked up about this thought you just have to convey you completely space on where you're at at the moment.

Exactly. Obviously they don't care and are not interested in finding a way out.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
