Grow your own veggies grow your own tobacco Use powdered milk dig your own well make your own clothes You can even make your own diesel fuel Dont let this userper get away with it. He has no credentials as president!

You depend on any govt’ any You will be taken for a ride. They will take everything you got and then some! And youll scratch your head wondering why?

their not in …
their not in traffic court cuz they pay the 75 dollar ticket instead of losing money by taking off work. thats a no brainer.
life isn’t fair so instead of complaining about it do something about it.
obama fans the flames of class warfafe. have you noticed how all corporations are greedy nowadays. so what if the ceo is filthy rich and employs thousands of workers who also make money because of him/her. it bothers me taxes on cigs/soda go up. it should bother anyone who enjoys freedom.

Around here court …
Around here court is mandatory for almost all traffic violations regardless.. they don’t payment of fines in advance. I am not complaining about anything. They are the ones complaining about their taxes. I just said they should pay them. How is that a complaint?

you are stating an …
you are stating an opinion regarding their royalty status as your reason for paying higher taxes. i say flat tax it across the board.

Smartassawhip @ 6:48 pm

What I said is that …
What I said is that they get treated like they are above the law and they get lots of perks for doing nothing.. and that is true.. not a complaint. I just don’t think they should about paying taxes when they get things handed to them for free all the time. Not a complaint.. an observation.. that is true.

you could use the …
you could use the same argument for the poor too.

Everyone here using …
Everyone here using logic and reason should stop arguing with those who don’t. It just makes us angry. For those who believe that government health insurance will turn doctors into miracle workers, taxation will force Americas to be healthy and smart, dumps trillions of dollars into an endless abyss, and a government that performs routine hostile-takeovers of private businesses is good – then “Hail to the Supreme Leader”. For those who want a Gov. that uses logic instead of emotion… 2012.

a while back on CNN’s Lou Dubb, a guest was asked why obama was wearing out Air Force One going to jay leno and town hall meetings and the guest answered,” he is fishing, he is fishing for dumb fish.” When I see all those people him, I see a bunch of dumb fish.

… I thought we should not pay attention to On-Line stuff….we do not even know if it is a real, live meeting…another money grab!!

rebkeh @ 6:48 pm

Um… you do …
Um… you do realize that YouTube is a free service? That’s first of all….

Secondly, if our govt DIDN’T use technology, how is that good for us?

I think it is commendable that Obama is using modern techniques to communicate, and using every available avenue to engage the American People.

An analogy: would you expect government to not use the telephone because there is no way to verify who is REALLY on the line? So what would be the solution then? Pen and paper? Yeah, that’s efficient.

I cry every time I …
I cry every time I here Obama speak!! He is just what America needs!! Michelle, she reminds me of Jackie Kennedy! Now, lets fix Social Security! Why is it fair that a 62 year old retiree that receive a $4,000 a month pention, have $500,000 in a stock based retirement account allowed to receive as much as $2,000 a month in Social Security on top of that?? Can anyone tell me how this is fair?? The money needs to be given to the poor who need it!!

What is fair is …
What is fair is they paid into that system their whole lives – they are getting back what they invested with the government. Fair would be to ask them to volunteer to donate their some of their retirement money back to the needy.

The gov’t that …
The gov’t that couldn’t get water into a state after Katrina, bankrupted medicare, bankrupted social security, lost the war on poverty, lost the war on drugs, can’t control the US border is going to run a healthcare system for less money than private insurance does? Give me a break.
1/3 of the uninsured make more than 50k per year and 20% of the uninsured are illegals,

Change and Hope? Obama is a big DOPE!!!

runman1271 @ 6:48 pm

How is it fair? The …
How is it fair? The old lady paid into social security her whole life, just like you and I do. She worked for her $4000.00/month pension, she worked for her $500,000 in stocks.
Nobody gave her the pension, no one gave her her stocks, she worked for it, the gov’t gave her the social security, and she paid into it.

Why is it fair that people have the right to my money, they do not work for it, they did not get the education, no one but me pays for my stocks. y do u feel entitled to my money?

I thought Obama …
I thought Obama might be different. He fooled me. He’s just another London owned Wall Street prostitute that will blow any rich shareholder to get ahead. THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION NOW. YouTube Search; Webcast Excerpt A Monetary vs Credit System

Obama makes total …
Obama makes total sense to me. I know how ed off I got when I looked at my last medical bill and saw that I was charged 30 dollars for a stupid bandage. BRING ON THE PUBLIC PLAN, BABY. MY WALLET NEEDS IT!!!!!

The wealthy are the …
The wealthy are the biggest givers to great causes already, you just want to take more and more, because they’re evil and somehow not deserving of their own money. I’m done here. You can continue to spam all you want. It’s still a free country… but there are some people who are HOPE’ing to CHANGE that. Stop blaming others for your problems.

I once had a talk show on the radio and got caught speeding in a school zone with a gun under my front seat and I didn’t even get a ticket.. why? Because the cop was a fan… it happens.. get real. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

Smartassawhip @ 6:48 pm

I don’t spam anyone …
I don’t spam anyone. And the reasons the pantries are low on food right now is because the middle class and the poor actually give the most and they are the ones hurting the most right now so they are not able to give as much as they used to..

I have a lot of friends who have plenty of money. My ex husband worked for Lockheed Martin and flew all over the world. I know several millionaires and they all know that the rules are different for them.. just like I did when I was one of them.
