Wow, what is up with nut jobs calling everyone else the term which
describes them?

The patriot act infringes on my rights and freedoms, so do gun laws, so
does the limiting of free speech, etc., etc. ... it is my public
servants which do these things ... corporations couldn't pass a bill if
they wanted to, they can only bribe my treasonous public servants, nut job!

I don't understand you, Dave.

You say you're against power concentration -- but you're absolutely
in _love_ with the idea of taking virtually all of the money of the
wealthy dynasts and _combining_ it into one super-concentrated nexus
of power.


Puzzled,



Kevin.

Kevin.

I don't know about that, but those with the gold are going to have to
pay the bills, fix the roads, maintain public services, power, water,
medical, parks, programs, etc., etc., etc.

We have simply reached the point where taxing the poor has the same
result of attempting to extract blood from the fabled turnip ... but
that doesn't mean they still won't keep trying ...

Puzzled,

At least until we get caught up on the deficit and the crumbling
infrastructure. Good old fashioned millionaires are OK. People who use
money to keep score should have their legs chopped at the shins.

corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial
by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."

Only in Sweden. We, the people don't like high taxes. We don't like
taxes, period.

I wasn't talking about people. I was talking about Wall Street pigs.

Hmmm...we the people don't like taxes?

I'll bet they -do- like having EMS come when a family member is ill or
having the fire department show up when their house is on fire or
driving on a paved road, not a dirt two track.

Maybe the people that dislike taxes think all these services are free.

More and more U.S.States are going back to dirt/gravel roads, because
they are cheaper to maintain.

I remember dirt roads,,, QUICK!, roll the windows up! That was before
auto airconditioning came along, for most cars.That gravel is real good
for cracking windshields too, and the mud, when it rains.Those flat
plate windshields would blind you too, when the Sun catches them just
right.I always liked it when a piece of gravel would get in a hubcap.

Ain't no mud on Batman's cape, he can run faster than a spotted
ape,,,,,,
