I can't believe what I'm watching

I guess I should have paid closer attention during high school when I took "Political Ideologies and Theisms"...I do remember the final being an essay, but that was way many beers ago.

This is no great idealogical political victory. It was a coincidence of timing. This was just the first window they've had since the 60's to slip it in. They almost had this window in the 90's, when George Bush made the mistake of being president when it was time for a recession. But there was too much latent conservatism in the country.

This is going to be expensive for the Dems.

I'm truly interested to know the rationale behind this statement.

They didn't steal the money. They didn't even write the check. These CEO's are highly recruited by the boards of directors of every major American corporation. Their skills are highly sought after. These same boards set their salaries and bonus/benefits packages. If you own shares in this corporation, you voted for the Board that brought this person in. If they don't manage your investment to your liking, you're free to vote in others. Or get your fellow shareholders together and put your own boardmembers in place. or divest yourself of the interest in the company. Beyond that, it's a private business- if you have no financial interest in it, your opinion on what they do is invalid.

Governments interfering in the financial matters of private corporations to the extent of controlling the wages and salaries is textbook Facism.

No doubt Chris. Amazing the accidental Marxists among us.

What happened this weekend was a constitutional abomination. What they did against the will of the American people will not stand. It is nothing that the supreme court first, and 5 boxes of cartridges last... won't fix. I hope that we can employ the former, although Mr. Jefferson reminded us that the latter is also a possibility.

I love the way you leave an escape route about validity at the beginning....but post the crap anyway.
Cute.

I don' expect Canadians to understand this. Your country was built on treaty, apology and appeasement. While I respect the civility of all that, I really do.... That's what makes your country great...
You must understand that our country was built by force. The will of the strongest will overcome the will of the weak. That's what made us great. Not fair. Not perfect. Just great. Life isn't fair anyway. Any attempt to run from that and pretend we are Canadians will only dilute our nature.
 
Watch... they are about to ROCK us on the death tax/inheretance tax.
It was rolled back to.... wait for it.... zero.

The fundraisers are planning for a 1 million dollar exemption, a double digit jump in estate tax and a gift tax of as much as 48%.

But that doesn't impact liberals. Their parents are poor anyway.
They don't want to create an aristocracy or anything by letting me inherent my parents wealth. They'd rather take it from me and pay for some never-grew-out-of-being-a-hippy-non-producer.
 
Yeah shocking...not; and our new to be healthcare bill is also a gov't takeover of student loans...remember how well Fannie and Freddie are doing?

So why is the takeover of studnet loans in a healthcare reform bill???? Dishonest, lying, bastrd crooks...that's why.

I agree.............no one person understands it...on the side that voted FOR it or the side that voted AGAINST it.

And its garbage in total if the controls on spending, lawsuits and wastefulness dont go hand in hand with it as it is rolled out to the public.

Despite what side of the fence you are on.


And Steve

I made that comment with respect........cute.....well done:USA:

I have to disagree with this a little bit. Yes the USA was born out of force (with lots of help) but what really made us great is our natural resources. We also made it through WW2 with barely a scratch compared to Europe and in the end they all owed us for supplying them during the war.

Anybody have the readers digest version of what this is going to do to my student loans??
 
FWIW, Nancy Pelosi is one of the wealthiest people in Congress with a personal net worth of over $25 mil. Now, she's been in politics her entire life. She's not like Bloomberg who got rich then went into the biz. So how does a lifetime public servant end up with that much cheese? And do you know any municipal sewer workers, cops or plow truck drivers with that kind of wealth?
