Jim, I was talking about this forum specifically, not Stangnet in general.
Do you believe higher tax rates = more tax revenue? |

I’m all for charity but I damn sure don’t want the Govt in charge of it. |

That just earned you an infraction.
This may be Fight Club but, that's no reason to be disrespectful.  |

Jim man, in all honesty there's some things that you've said that I agree with but you've got to cut this stuff out or else you're going to get banned. |

Not so fast.
You seem to be overly hung up on the "a vote for McCain is a vote for racism" issue to the point where you mention it 3-4 times in a single thread. Do you honestly believe it is that wide spread? So much that you just can't seem to get over it?
Anecdotal evidence is the worst form of "fact" to base an opinion on. |

I respect your views and agree somewhat but you will not be disrespectful of our rules or those who post here. Simply stated you are close to violating the confrontation of staff in an open forum rule with this post. That is a rule of the TOS and while I'd hate to act further, and know you could care less from previous posts about this particular site, you could tone it down a bit and make things easier on all of us. |

I'm sorry, but $250k is not wealthy here in Ca...It may be where you are, but the wife and I who make a pretty good living cant even afford to buy our own house...but you know who gets to rent nicer homes than we can afford for $100 or less...Section 8....Welfare recipients. Wow, that sure does seem fair.
Lets not forget that anyone who makes over $25k per year is considered by many to be wealthy...Should we tax them 50-60%?
I really just dont understand how people think Obama is gonna crap out healthcare for everyone and it is going to be free. Nothing in this world is free, and if you dont think in some form or another it is not going to cost you anything, then you have another thing coming to you.  |
