Re: Military Expenditures

Imagine if other countries had the technology we had, they could use percision missiles to take out any rebellion (Libya/Syria) and not worry about some UN mandate that says you can't hit civilians. Seems only Europeon (NATO) can hit civilians, call it collateral damage, and suffer no consequences....

Re: Military Expenditures

I have an innate, and real problem with working to feed the kids of other men, who have no intention on feeding their own kids. Call me extreme if you like.. but in my book, that's stealing. And not paying for that, in my book, is murder. Wait a minute. You're saying, you're guilty of murder for ev...

Re: Military Expenditures

Medicare is paid for by payroll taxes isn't it? I've been paying into it all my working life, just like SS. I don't quite see how you can call it free. Because current users paid next to nothing back in the day when they were working -- if they were working at all -- since the tax rate back in the ...

Re: Military Expenditures

It's not free; for women, it's a 229.8% return on every dollar you put in. That kind of is the whole point of insurances. A lot of people all pay a relatively small amount of money into the system so that a few can benefit from it (to pay expenses that are far in excess of what anybody who is not b...

Re: We paid for this study?

I just question the results...lets blame it on the decade because there was turmoil? Ummmm....The US experiences great trumoil every decade thanks to politicians, the economy, and Mother Nature. If the '60's caused all these problems its only reasonable to assume that 2000-2010 has caused even grea...

Re: Republicans tax plan

After news organizations reported that GE might pay no corporate taxes for 2010, the company stated that it expects a "small U.S. income tax liability" for that year. I really wonder how they manage to say this stuff in public with a straight face. Because they are paid (and paid well) to...

Re: When is it even going to be too much for Fox?

Fox "News" is an opportunistic capitalist corporation and is in it to make money, not report the News. Election coverage (on Fox) is about making money and slinging mud, not reporting the News, something The Fox Corp. (& Glenn Beck) is good at doing. The exact same thing is true for C...
