Perhaps you shouldn't be so averse to those who can afford it (including corporations) paying a bit more. Would it be so bad if that then resulted in better roads, schools, healthcare...?

Perhaps they should spend what they have more prudently, you know like paying market wages instead of bloated union wages.

All those government buddy system contracts that are completely fraudulent, union pension spiking to a point that no amount of taxes will ever be enough. And now they want to add another tax for it.

Enough is enough we are all already overburdened with taxes!

Sure puts Ukraine situation into a different perspective.

Unless you're a freegan and have found a way to live entirely off the grid, you probably need some sort of steady income in order to survive. The traditional way to earn money, of course, is by having a job. You work for a company or start your own, and the work you do earns you money, which you spend on things like a mortgage, rent, food, clothing, utilities and entertainment.
Most people typically work from their company's central location, a physical space where everyone from that organization gathers to exchange ideas and organize their efforts.
But a few lucky souls have found ways to make money within the comfort of their own home. With the Internet, an ever-changing arena for businesses, some people looking to earn money are finding ways to do so. Some forms are best for part-time endeavors for those looking to make a little extra money on the side, while others can lead to full-time jobs and Internet success stories.
Ion Nemerenco put together a list of our top 10 ways to make money on the Internet, in no particular order. On the next page, we'll start with an old favorite.

GREAT!

WHERE DO I MAIL MY MONEY TO??

Everything you say sounds great!
Unfortunately, however, your HTML skills reveal your incompetence.
How can I trust what you or your company say, if you cannot even get a simple 'bold' command straight?
This indicates you either:
a- have not proofread your post, in which case I must assume you are lazy and have not really researched the positions you put forth, or
b- you have proofread your post, in which case I must assume you are lazy, since you failed to take the time to correct your mistakes. How much of this laziness has poisoned the position you put forth, I don't know. I do know that it's not worth my time or risk to find out.

I'm torn: these illegal aliens are clearly liberals, but they will boost house prices. It really comes down to whether gay platinum excreters can have anchor babies.

Are they only coming across the galaxy for free health care and social services?

Ah, but will the pope and all Christians accept Plateu, the one true god as evident in the holy book Yertimu? When the aliens come down to the Vatican, their first words will be
Have you been saved? Have you welcomed Plateu into your heart?

The pope is in for a big surprise. The aliens will be missionaries trying to convert humans into the "one true religion" by force if necessary. Better to gouge out a human's eyes and anally probe him then to let his soul fall into the Great Wormpit of Andromeda.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Is a bump up in home prices so vital we'll encourage pederast rape from space aliens in cassocks?

Any reason to believe the human race has yet to care about pederast rape?

We have such a poor track record of preventing it, that I'm not sure we really give a damn, except for scoring political points after the fact.

Ever since Vietnam, our government has been committing despicable crimes.

It's a depressing reminder sometimes, because I know in our "Democracy" we don't have any say in this.

Is it derogatory to call them "platinum packers"?

Why do you hate TBTF? roflmao

To paraphrase the great philosopher,AF. DIE TBTF,DIE!

George Carlin:
"Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls."

Attribute that to my public education, those history books white washed everything, and I wasn't around to judge. But Vietnam, I got friends who were in Vietnam and they tell it like it was about free fire zones, etc...

The entire north american continent was a free fire zone when the indians had it and the colonists wanted it. Nothing changes.

Check this little wikileak about Ukraine, we are trying very hard to get there:

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW265_a.html#efmBTnBfi

Ukraine and Georgia's NATO aspirations not only touch
a raw nerve in Russia, they engender serious concerns about
the consequences for stability in the region. Not only does
Russia perceive encirclement, and efforts to undermine
Russia's influence in the region, but it also fears
unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences which would
seriously affect Russian security interests. Experts tell us
that Russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions
in Ukraine over NATO membership, with much of the
ethnic-Russian community against membership, could lead to a
major split, involving violence or at worst, civil war. In
that eventuality, Russia would have to decide whether to

intervene; a decision Russia does not want to have to face.

bgamall4 says

Our crazy neocons in both parties will lead us to WW3 if Russia perceives the encirclement is not manageable.

They'll probably start something in Syria and Iran first. I remember when Obama tried to sell that war to the public, didn't work out too well for him. They'll try again later I'm sure. Working hard to preserve that right wing budget.

I don't think so. There are too many factories in Ukraine that support Russian military. Russia will probably feel too suffocated, and you never know how they'll react, considering our involvement.

So can Hillary, Kerry and the rest since they voted for it.

Since there's no hell I am not concerned about it.

Wait, maybe "hell" will be the beach in Cabo with the bikini clad "personal attendant" serving me an umbrella drink. It's hot in the sun sometimes, almost "hellish".

How is this just a Republican problem? The Democrats are subservient to the military industrial complex too.

A LOT more people died in Woodrow Wilson's WW1 and Johnson's Vietnam.

Really? So why is it that when they negotiate, the GOP insists on cuts to social spending and the Dems insist on cuts to the Pentagon.

Strange way for the Dems to curry favor with a group they're supposedly subservient to.

Next you'll tell me that the GOP is actually unionism's biggest supporter!

On the plus side, we are getting time off from the saturation anti-Obamacare fusillades.

The troops await fresh marching orders.

For now, it's just the "Obama did what?!?!" horror stories over the usual quiet background of anti-Fed wailing.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Oh, yeah?! We need to paint JESUS ON ALL THE BOMBS WE USE TO KILL THE FUCKING RAGHEADS! RAPE IS A FUCKING SACRAMENT! THE 13TH AND 14TH AMENDMENTS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

See? These are mainstream Teabagger positions.

really ? i wasnt aware we were violating OUR constitution when shooting the Germans and Japanese in WW2...

after all, based on Liberal view, even Hitler had the right to " life liberty and pursuit of happiness " regardless which country he invaded.

The point of Benghazi is it was a lie to the public to suit Obama's political needs before an election. Some people take great exception at being lied to.

Susan Rice going onto 5 Sunday TV shows and lying about the cause of the terror attack was wrong.

Others object to the ineptitude of people like Obama and Hillary by ignoring the request from our ambassador for higher security at the place where he was killed.

Others wonder how we can have a GIANT military with a budget so huge it defies belief and they never sent a fucking PLANE to fly over and bomb the scumbags or shoot them up? We had plenty of planes and bombs when the pantywaist Brits and French asked us to bomb Ghadaffi previously.

The objection of reasonable people to Obama/Hillary/Rice concocting a lie about this terrorist attack is that they continue to cover up this entire LIE and evidently if you dislike the govt. lying to you it's your fault?

Benghazi is somewhat of a joke. When driving, for fun I turn on fox news on sirius, and then wait for a number of seconds it takes before I hear "Benghazi" Usually it's within minutes. It's similar to Obamacare opposition; focusing on the wrong poitns. Republicans could focus on so many other substantial foreign policy failures, and instead they choose Benghazi because they think it will hurt Hillary. For example. how about Nuland's "fuck EU" comment, or Kerry's mishandling of Ukraine's crisis, or the fact that we are still in Afghanistan wasting billions every month while not extending long term unemployment insurance here and cutting food stamps?

Clambo, I do agree with you that it was a lie before the election, but it's a small lie in comparison to other issues. Romney also did not have a real chance after the primary, his 47% comment, and not releasing tax returns.

A lot more Died in WW2, and we really didn't have to go to war with Germany until after defeating Japan, We just chose to so so to help Stalin get half of Europe quicker.

You can always find the middle ground win-win. With diplomacy like that, I'm thinking State Department instead of Comptroller.

Good idea, but can we say skip the bullhorns? Sometimes I like to sleep in. Maybe the police sketch artists could taunt silently with unflattering caricatures.
