		<description>You be acquainted with that saying, it takes a village to heighten a child?

Manifestly, Kanye&#039;s village has failed him. He [url=http://zakreceni.pl]fotka penisa[/url] clearly doesn&#039;t demand a legal friend in the world. There does not rise to be anyone who can journey by past to him, to occasion him understand that he needs to repress his awful behavior.</description>

		<description>You be acquainted with that saying, it takes a village to frame a child?

Evidently, Kanye&#039;s village has failed him. He [url=http://jagodyacai.pl]jagody na przyrost penisa, acai poprawia wielkosc penisa[/url] doubtlessly doesn&#039;t have a existent adherent in the world. There does not play to be anyone who can stir past to him, to promulgate him get the drift that he needs to restrain his repellent behavior.</description>

		<description>That is such a brilliant idea. Here in our country, donating to charities is also one way of tax avoidance for the rich.</description>

		<description>Bill, I like so much of what you say, but you have to get your facts right *every* time, since your (may I say our?) standards are so high.

&lt;i&gt;The top ten percent, that pays sixty percent of the total income tax and which allows the bottom half – HALF! – to pay nothing&lt;/i&gt;

Two words: &lt;b&gt;Payroll Tax&lt;/b&gt;.  Also known as FICA taxes.

The payroll tax stops increasing at approx $100K.  It is therefore more regressive than &quot;income taxes&quot;, though otherwise it is indistiguishable from them.  *Everybody* pays this.

Loved the stuff about the Tribes, love most of your stuff. 

And if you wonder why the rich get damned, stop thinking about the guys you know and who built their businesses themselves.  I know some of those and they *are* the good guys, but they not the really rich.

Start looking at scum like Henry Paulson, Chuck Prince, Stanley O&#039;Neal and Dick Fuld.  Tell me about all the benefits that have flowed from these ass-wipes.</description>

		<description>Great post... was thinking similarly yesterday....

WALL-E and the Welfare State

Did you see Pixar’s animated movie Wall-e?

It’s a cute story about Wall-e the robot, the last Waste Allocation Load Lifter (Earth Class) still working to clean up the planet—hundreds of years after humankind had destroyed it. Wall-e is the little robot who could; though all the other load lifters had long since broken down, he ‘awakened’ each morning with only his pet cockroach for company and spent the day dutifully cleaning.

...

I very much enjoyed the film but as I left the theater I couldn’t get over the image of humanity it portrayed: universally obese, all with the same stupid look on their fat faces and unable to get up from the chairs they sat in as they were fed and clothed by the ship that carried them.

It’s an image of an advanced welfare state and in many ways, I think our post-modern infatuation with “fairness” and/or “substantive equality” puts America on a path that leads down this familiar road.

		<description>Yow. round and round it goes...
and it comes out here.

Some years ago, so the story goes,
two fighter jocks were discussing
the relative merits of the Navy F-14
and the Air Farce F-15.
Finally, one of them says:
&quot;Alright, lets you and me go up and
 settle this _right_now_&quot;.

But calmer heads prevailed. :)

Unfortunately, we are past that point;
The US is broke, the 2nd Great Depression
is right on schedule, and Peace will have
nothing to do with the outcome, which, if we
are more lucky than we deserve, will be a
_return_  to a society in which only taxpayers can vote.</description>

		<description>http://www.democracynow.org/2008/1/18/free_lunch_how_the_wealthiest_americans
just another viewpoint, backed up not with a heart-warming personal story, but with some facts about where the money really goes in this country and why we keep some of citizens undereducated and poor - and in for-profit prisons - if you&#039;re cheney &amp; can make possibly millions investing in them, why create jobs and opportunities? just a thought</description>
