When Popeye blows through his pipe,
I love how these people were protesting obama's "tyranny" on the fifteenth of a three percent tax hike.
When the british empire was at it's apex of power, they killed 30,000,000 Indians, took over half the world, tortured, and killed anyone who disagreed with the government, and enstated sky high taxes that left people dirt poor, by 1700s standards. (No offense or insult intended to current residents of the UK, this is simply an example to make a point)
Americans don't know what tyranny is anymore.
I don't support the government, I support common sense.

sad because thats how alot of people in the world view our nation, as money loving hicks.
He has a million dollars in a matter of a few years.
Look at me and my mother. Seven hundred a month, that equates to less than 12k annually and look at this. Our Rent is $1200 a month. And the seven hundred is going to two people. $350 apiece. That's under six thousand a YEAR. some people make more than Six thousand a DAY. It's like holy shit, dude, do you really think you're THAT poor? Have you met anybody who makes less than a quarter million dollars a year?

Do you know what taxes pays for? Education.
Don't kick my kids out of school.
Pricks.
And yeah. These people are claiming it is "taxation without representation"
I'm not socialist or anything. But we live in a great country, the USA. We can do a lot of things other people fight and die for around the world. We have access to stuff only the super wealthy have access to in other parts of the world. And god damn it, it's an honor to give a piece of my pay to keep it going.
With state and federal government in such severe debt to other countries, and the current weak dollar (just as an afterthought), the last thing we need to do cut government income. That won't stimulate the economy, it'll just force government to borrow more, which will kill us in the end, like the fall of Rome.
If it weren't for that national debt, do you think we could have universal healthcare?
Damn straight.
Pay your taxes, people. Support your neighbors. Don't be greedy for the sake of greed.
Taxes won't kill you. >D
Debt will.
I fucking hate Capitalism as far as a pure economical system. It's greedy, and is the reason "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer"
I would like to see a combination of communism and capitalism. If a balance could be found, then it'd probably be a good system.
