I totally agree about everything else...especially blocking federal bailout of states.

A flat tax, particularly for corporations, would be laughed out of congress. Without the ability to give special tax breaks to special interests, the congress would have no power to raise money to get reelected.

In a long list of really pitiful things about our country, the fact that it is so openly corrupt is probably the most pitiful.

Except for maybe the chickenshit in the white house. I can't believe he had the balls to stare into the camera yesterday to talk about "ways to reduce expenses for medicare". What a piece of shit.

They count on people not paying attention. Then all they have to do is paint those calling BS as a bunch of crazy extremists. Back to business as usual.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways ,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't share this with anyone....Who cares?

Here the Pennsylvania secretary of public welfare shows that in light of various federal and state welfare programs, a single mother in his state is better off making $29,000 than making $69,000.

The new tax rates passed, but there is absolutely nothing about spending cuts. These guys are either a bunch of bumbling idiots, or too fucking arrogant to care.

I am seeing the GOP catching hell over this. I am not sure but it seems like many, not just normal peeps, wanted to go over cliff. Raising taxes on the middle class would have killed the GOP. I don't know what the answer is but things need to change in Washington and fast!
