The people of Michigan want fair wages and a clean environment to live in. How dare they! They'll eat poision and breath coal dust and LIKE it or else all the companies will leave and they will die.
You force people who built their business in the USA to stick around even if it means less profits.
If the business owners don't agree, freeze their accounts, raid their homes, put them in prison.
If they have money overseas, use leverage to get those funds.
You seem to want to give these people the ability to do whatever they want by crying that the sky is falling if they are regulated and made to play fair.
You've crafted a false dichotomy, and all your concerns can be addressed by new laws. These companies get very rich off of our nation, they will be forced to give back to the people who made them rich.
It's not quite the same, is it? People are held to much higher levels of accountability than corporations. Either hold the corps to the same levels, or make them accountable by taxing them and spending the money to right their wrongs.
Please hand over an addition 20% of your income to help make up for the national deficit.
I don't care about time shifting when they play the shows over and over. I care about skipping commercials. Commercial skip is often disabled with these provided DVRs, so I won't use them.
I'm sure some content will be disallowed on their P-2-P systems, so I won't use that either.
Nobody seems to care about this, but some fat American girl who by all accounts was a douchebag to her classmates offs herself....and human life is 'sacred' or some such BS.
And why does a 40-year-old woman not get the breaks this girl's peers apparently get? Don't we try children as adults when someone ends up dead (more hypocrisy in our legal system)...why aren't the other classmates who teased this girl getting part of the action.
It's BS, plain and simple. People are sad and angry that chubbo ended it all and want someone to pay....legality and sanity or not.
I'm glad that your family hasn't gotten worse, neither has mine. The numbers do show that the wealth in this nation is trickling up, and that ain't right. All of us work together to make this system work, those at the bottom of the pile deserve to share in it.
It's not the level of taxes, my criminal friend, it's the distribution of taxes.
Tax burden in the USA has shifted significantly from the rich to the middle class. Sure, the tax rates tell one story but loopholes and dodges let the rich guys avoid most of their responsibility.
You know, the ones repealed and/or not passed in the late 80's and 90's in order to help the economy grow...which then led to shady banking practices that begat our current 'credit crunch'.
Yeah, I've heard this story before. I like the regulations, they are necessary for capitalism to work in the real world.
Many of the talking heads and hate-radio personalities get a good response from hating on Hillary. They've been doing it ever since Clinton got roped into an impeachment for a non-issue. Ooooo...so he didn't run the government improperly but he did cheat on his wife and lied about it under oath! Oooooh!
I know they think that McCain can beat HillDawg more easily than he could beat Obama...but I'm not sure why.

...don't pay it!
That's what I did. Cellphone free for well over a year. Don't miss it. Still have broadband and land lines for communication.
So...uh...Yeah I'd rather have the fewer annoying commercials.
You were saying?
It seems we agree.

It was probably an amoral, dishonest and unethical 'republican' sleeper agent who registered as D in order to screw them over from the inside.
Very honorable.
...and all politicians are liars so why not pick the new color option being offered in 2008?
Nearly all the ideas on Judeo-Christian religion were 'copied' or 'stolen' from previous cultures and religions.
I think the only original idea was that there was but a single god who did it all.
I prefer a distributed religion myself...

Your anecdotes are interested, but irrelevant.
I hope someone you care about is wounded or killed by an Iraq Freedom Fighter. Trash like you makes me sick.
Decades of laws sponsored by and benefitting the wealthy make it quite difficult to put a value on someone.
We should just start trying things. If they don't work out, we'll deal with the problems as they arise.
If that kind of logic and planning is good enough for invading a nation and killing it's people, it's good enough for our tax code.
You'd rather not get your fair share from rich people, because you think some day you'll be rich?
Trend analysis shows that the 'american dream' is bullshit. More people moving down than up. Good luck with that.
The lack of regulation which allowed commodities securities of dishonestly described risk to permeate the market was the final straw.

There is a large stack of evidence showing that warning labels don't work, and may in fact inspire more people to try the thing being warned against.
More developers is a good thing.

He crashed numerous plains in training and if his Admiral daddy hadn't pulled strings, ol' Johnny might never have flow in the Vietname Fail.
McCain was also one of the Keating Five. He's not the kind of person I want running this country.
I'm not the one afraid that signing a petition will put me on some governmental 'black list'.
I signed the petition, not that it'll do much.
If they're going to come for me, they're going to come for me.
Why be a pussy?
Plenty of religions advertise, plenty of religions require their believers to go out and sell the religion or not get to the promised happy place.
Ever seen ads in a newspaper? Big signs outside a church?
I'm an 'idiot'? You are a fucking imbecile for 'believing' in something with no proof or even decent evidence. Not only that, but you are a liar.
It's cheap and black and white and even if it sits for weeks it fires up and prints perfectly. Much more than I can say for inkjets costing more.
Maybe some day they'll make a cheap color laser printer that's as reliable, and I'll buy it.
