Facebook Bans Google+ Ads

Barbara, not Barbie writes "Not content with making it hard for people to export their Facebook contacts to Google+, Facebook has now banned all ads from app developer Michael Lee Johnson, who ran an ad saying 'Add Michael to Google+.' Facebook sent him the following message: 'Your account has been disabled. All of your adverts have been stopped and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Generally, we disable an account if too many of its adverts violate our Terms of Use or Advertising guidelines. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the specific violations that have been deemed abusive. Please review our Terms of Use and Advertising guidelines if you have any further questions.'"

Re:Job-killing Tax Hikes

The "crazy left" you refer to tend to be very middle of the road. Many of us in other country would term the Democrats "moderate conservatives." Last time I checked, you don't have the Greens or Social Democrats - they've been run out of town as leftist extremists. That said, e constant barrage of attacks against the "crazy left", "socialists" and "liberals" seems to be an effective approach to painting middle-of-the road policies and voters as undesirable and extreme.

As far as raising taxes goes, it seems only rational to conclude that the USA can't keep increasing borrowing forever. At some point, the nation will either have to reduce the deficit or default (hopefully not by triggering a world war and legislating a default). Your taxes don't just magically disappear - they go to pay for operating the county (salaries, construction, defense and federal contracts). And, honestly, you're likely to send the majority of your disposable income out of the country in the form of electronics purchases, fancy German cars and "made in China" purchases.
