the wooden arrows thing just slays me

Only if the kids can hit you with them.

Here is a nice poll from MSNBC about this issue, the results seem to say that 70% or so think it will be biased ( feel free to vote while you are there, please )

The best for this is for Gwen Iffil to acknowledge to the audience that she has recently wrote a book about the topic and that it will not be out until inauguration day on '09. Plead mea culpa. This at the same time would promote her book.

putting a killer behind bars for life and costing taxpayers $50k a year to house the cock sucker is bull shit. Eye for an Eye. A .50 cent bullet would take care of that expense. Same for all capital crimes.

My property tax pays for the fire department/ Police department. That also funds public schools that I do not use nor would send my kids to if I had them. Call 911 and have the ambulance come out to you. ITs not a free ride, its more like $750 to go a few blocks!

Capital gains taxes, being taxed just for making a profit is bullshit. And to raise them from 15% to over 25% is insane! Thats $25k plus on a $100k profit, not counting all the property taxes and other taxes you paid to get to that point.

On and on and on!

No not really, I just dont like being told what to do or where my money is going to go. I do not like being taxed to help the lazy and those that choose to work a system. I believe rewarding the lazy and dumb does not promote hard work and big government only leads to ways people can take advantage of it.

I guess I was born a few hundred years to late....

Problem is that only 1/1o0 of 1% of your tax money goes to so-called 'free-loaders'. SO saying to don't want to pay taxes because you don't like people who take advantage of the system is kind of like saying you don't want to go outside because you're afraid of getting hit by lightning.

It pisses me off when people get on about how they hate paying taxes. Do you like having roads to drive on? And police to catch criminals? Do you like it when the fire dept comes tp put out your blazing house, and when the courts throw rapists behind bars? Guess what, that's all tax money. Paying taxes is part of living in a modern civilization. Without them we'd be back to living in caves and foraging for berries.
