Nobody has suggested that. The disagreement is whether to raise the top tax bracket from 36% to 39.6% (like it was the last time the economy was booming, BTW). Is this enough to make you take to the streets (or even rant & rave like a clueless, impressionable fool)? From the way you write, you have a long way to go before you have the earning potential to be concerned with this debate.

I see you've cornered the market in aluminum foil futures. Please tell us how you really feel about all us American hatin' commies. Should I look into beachfront property in Havana for my retirement wishes before you paranoiac bunker denizens haul me out in front of a firing squad? I heared healthcare is pretty cheap too in Cuba. Hell I would rather spend my SS there.

Do you see the humor in what I'm saying to you? Do you realize just how fucking wacked you sound. If you want conversation you are in the right place and let the games begin. If you're here to show off your comical bit of swagger and bravado that you most certainly learned from Breitbart or the likes of Rush Limburger? Get ready for the insults. The members who have been here for a while tend towards (somewhat)polite and more or less intelligent positions but You aren't the first rude adolescent screamer to have walked in the door.


So do you have a position on any particular issue? Take a couple deep breaths and repeat after me Ommmmmmmmmmmm.

THX338;

I love coming here and being called a "so************************t" and getting accused of being a slacker or freeloader, or whatever........on the tail end of an 80+ hour work week. It really is a wonderful thing.

Dude, I'm just tired of watching the rewards of working, for so many common Americans being slowly eroded away as the politicians suck up to the financial elite with tax cuts, bailouts, contract favors and other goodies paid for at our expense. They are taking compensation and benefits away from us and giving the money to people who don't-even-fucking-need-it. And, if you think any of that is only attributable to one party, then you, my friend are every bit the damned fool that I suspect you are.

When are you going to figure that out? Seriously, I want to know.

With a strangely skewed originalistic bent John.
All congressman should give up all those per diems and rampant perks and go back to that imaginary fairytale that was Washington D.C. in the late 18th and early 19th century when every office was for sale? Except for G.Washington of course.(but he did strip the White House of most of it's furnishings and carted most of it back to Mt. Vernon after he left office.)

We are kind of repeating the march towards the enlightened Gilded Age of the mid to late 19th century.

Which gave birth to the very turbulent social and labor unrest of the late 19th and 20th century.

It'll be too little and too late for the likes of you and me brother. These greedy motherfuckers will have you and me livin' out in the weeds if they get their way this election. I always had that apocalyptic vision of a retirement after a hot war with them Russkis or the Red Chinese but it would appear it's going to be worse than that. We're headed for the very worst parts of the 19th century with no escape valve of a frontier to escape to. We've already got the reincarnation of the Know Nothing Party.

You and Barry McGuire would be quite a pair.
