The Druids Grove

PS, all of the millionaires I know work 20 times harder than you do. They are always working, no smoke breaks, no lunch breaks. They are on-call 24 hours a day.

None. Is this going anywhere?

If I buy a house for 100,000, and it increases in value to 1,000,000. If I sell that house for 1,000,000 and donate 900,000 to charity I will not be taxed on any of it.

The question is whether they should.

Tea party supporters. You sounded as though you might be one of them.

If you agree with me that this "party" is a farce, that will make for a fairly boring thread.

Modern day Christians eschew the Bishop's concern, and are trying to use that as an 'in', if you will, for instilling ID and Creationism in curricula, as well as being able to hand out bibles on public school campuses, etc. And this is the background that O'Donnell comes from, so it makes sense tha...
