[QUOTE="acsam12304"]

the tax cuts for the rich is stupid. if it is such a big deal GIVE everyone tax cuts.

what happened is no one pays the same amount of tax that the other person pays.

if Obama or anypresident wants to make a change in the tax cose. they should force the IRS to start charging a 10% tax on income FOR ALL Americans not just one type of class. that way everyone pays a fair share of taxes. that way no one can cry and moan about how its is unfair that they pay more taxes then the other person.

also Obama has spent the amount of money in 2 years in office and took George Bush 8 years to do.

Obama is making our country to fall. with the heath bill going to take us in the more debit. he wants to pass the green eco bill that will force a lot of businesses to go out of business and home owners to lose more homes.

i still can not believe that people are still supporting Obama with all the facts right in there faces it just sad.

What really angers me is, the health care, I paid, and I get none. I have being discriminated by the government and rejected by health care application. Simply because the private company did not reject me.

What is worse. My friend who is nearly broke with large debt on his hand......... is still not eligible to the health care because the private company did not deny him, they just charge him 600+ aMONTH cuz he is older.

And I seriosuly don't consider myself making enough money to be independent, 40k a year. I still need to live with my parents with my current pay check. California rental is too expensive.And 1/4 of my pay chack is gone before I can use it. My bro is about 70K and 1/2 of check is gone. I mean, Canada is flat 40%, which is less than my bro's 50%.After all that, we get no health care.

I am just not sure what's going on.

What? The vast majority of the law doesn't go into effect until 2014.

but alot did went to affect

Blue Cross to name a one just stop selling child health insurance because they are now not allowed to say no to kids that have a pre existing condition what does that say? i knew that was going to happen i sure alot of health insurance companys will stop selling health insurance to anyone. they might just go and sell car insurance or other kind of insurance instead of health insurance

Your criticism sounds too sane. Needs more death panels. :P From what I know of it, I don't like the healthcare bill that was passed. Now we have this weird middle-of-the-road garbage and I don't even really know who benefits from it. Single payer or public option for everyone, I get that. I'm not really sure what the hell the thing we ended up with is.

On another note, it seems like California has rather awful taxes on the middle class, especially given the cost of living there, but I guess you already know that.

I agree. Google 'Obama is a failure'. You'll get 33,000,000 hits and see lots of good opinions and reasons why people think he is destructive to America. I seriously doubt FOX employs that many people.

Obama is a failure: 19,700,000 results.

Obama is a success: 41,200,000 results.

Well then, if we're going by Google results...

I agree with this^^ Taxing the rich more (mostly the people who worked harder to become rich) is not fair. And yes, health care, welcome to the dmv.

LOL at the idea that the rich work harder. Yeah, they work harder to find ways to extract money from potential salaries of their employees and put it into their own. Then you get some of these CEOs that bankrupt companies and somehow walk away with a ton of money. What is that even about? They think the world is their playground.

Are you honestly going to tell me that a typical CEO works "harder" than a coal miner or something. It is not a matter of working hard. It's a matter of what one learned BEFORE working. I know which one I would rather do, even if the pay was the same. I sure have no desire to do hard manual labor. Who does? Give me a freaking break.

Google "the world is flat" and you get 89,100,000 hits. I think we may be onto a discovery here.

The only thing they're destructive to is his ability to manipulate public opinion. He doesn't like the fact that there's a news network that doesn't worship him.

I guess saving people everyday making a diagnosis of something that could kill them in the recent future is not hard at all. That garbage man couldn't do that. and many other people. And doing better in school = working harder! If you get a 100 on a quiz over a book you were required to read, the person who didn't read it is not going to make a 100, the person who read it is going to make the better grade or a 100. 100/better grade = WORKING HARDER!

Not surprising, both glorified him during the whole election. Newsweek even put a halo around his head.

While I disagree with Obama on most things, I agree with him on this. Seriously, Fox News is less reliable than the Onion.Fudgycakes
at least with the Onion people understand it's a comedy news site.

1). Physical Labour vs Mental, not easy to quantify. I know alot of docs though and they don't work all that hard 2). I got damn close to a 4 gpa in school and hardly put any effort into it. I've gotten 100% on tests I've never studied for, maybe I'm just smart but honestly high school is not hard at all.

I would say on a daily basis a garbage man does more work than a doctor. A doctor gets paid more and is arguably more important but their job can be pretty cushy at times.

Not surprising, both glorified him during the whole election. Newsweek even put a halo around his head.

And doing better in school = working harder! If you get a 100 on a quiz over a book you were required to read, the person who didn't read it is not going to make a 100, the person who read it is going to make the better grade or a 100. 100/better grade = WORKING HARDER!

Now this is just completely false. I did better in school than most, but I'm under no delusion that that's because I worked harder than most. I've been blessed with an above average intelligence, for which I am thankful, but I certainly did not work for it. That student who studied her butt off for a week and got an 80% worked far more than I did when I got my 90% after not needing to study at all, a fact that I am constantly mindful of.

[QUOTE="TBoogy"][QUOTE="Jakesta7"]Ok my father: making a 4.0 college (he is a doctor saving people like you) vs. a garbage man making a 1.0 in high school. You make sense bud.Jakesta7

The question is, is your dad the doctor working HARDER than the garbage man. Not if he did better in school

I guess saving people everyday making a diagnosis of something that could kill them in the recent future is not hard at all. That garbage man couldn't do that. and many other people. And doing better in school = working harder! If you get a 100 on a quiz over a book you were required to read, the person who didn't read it is not going to make a 100, the person who read it is going to make the better grade or a 100. 100/better grade = WORKING HARDER!

So then you stand by your argument, and therefore you assert that a multi-millionaire CEO works that much harder than your father.

I have ADHD and take no pills for it, and trust me, I have massive ADHD. And I studied from 4 to 12 every night. I worked hard, and I am striving for a successful job in the future. I guess i am not doing ****

Well, that is actually kind of the point. If you make less money than him, does that mean you worked less hard?

1). Physical Labour vs Mental, not easy to quantify. I know alot of docs though and they don't work all that hard 2). I got damn close to a 4 gpa in school and hardly put any effort into it. I've gotten 100% on tests I've never studied for, maybe I'm just smart but honestly high school is not hard at all.

I would say on a daily basis a garbage man does more work than a doctor. A doctor gets paid more and is arguably more important but their job can be pretty cushy at times.

Yeah what classes did you take? And when? And don't even say a garbage man does more work than a doctor, I want to see that garbage man go through medical school. Why didn't he then??? And how hard is it to stand on the back of a vehicle and throw trash into a bin. WOW I am going to be sore for weeks doing that!!!!!

Just a bit out of topic. Taxing more on rich and businesseswill just do the following. Hire less workers = more unemployees. Nothing has changed. The real concern is, does government really need that much of money?

Correction, out source is a more accurate term.

I dunno why you're quoting me but I guess I'll respond. The same sort of deal could be said about taxing the lower class and middle class more. They would have less money to spend which would decrease profits to business which would decrease the amount of people they need to/could hire. Does the government really need to the money? If China called in it's debts the US would be bankrupt. US debt is pretty damn impressive so they need to tax someone, or find another way to get that money. I don't really agree too much with outsourcing workers myself since it hurts the government of the country in which that company resides primarily in. Not sure if that's the response you were looking for.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"]Fox news is pretty terrible if you want to be informed. If you want to be entertained though they're good for a laugh.UT_Wrestler
The same could be said for John Stewart and Steven Colbert :)

They're comedians, not newsmen. However they are still far more reliable than any of the actual "news" networks.

No, but if you strive hard enough, you will make a lot of money, and it won't even matter. But people with more money often worked harder/do more than those who don't have as much money. Does not mean always, but a lot of the times.

[QUOTE="StopThePresses"][QUOTE="SeraphimGoddess"] And torn limbs and pools of blood! :D I agree. Not because Fox News in conservative, but they have just become horribly fear mongering lately, absolutely hypocritical, and completely unable to even give the other side a chance.GabuEx

Lately? :lol:

What are you talking about, Fox News has always been fair and balanced.

Since when does a giant montage of out-of-context screenshots prove that Fox News is as dishonest and biased as the liberals claim them to be? Most of those are opinion-based pundit shows anyways. What do you expect?
