That money was going to the poor people until the government stole it to give to the 1%.
If you want to talk about economic theft, who do you think the government "stole" that money from in the first place?
Stole? Since when is taxing the same as stealing?
Who do you think pays most of the taxes?
If rich people are paying more than their share, how come we keep hearing about rich people that paid a lower rate then their secretaries, or none at all? How come I paid a higher rate last year than Mitt Romney?
Who do you think provides the jobs? Who do you think invests their money back into the economy?
Whisking it away to the Cayman Islands isn't an investment in the economy... though I suppose it helps keep the Cayman bankers employed.
Nasty stuff. When the Florida face-eating attack was in the news there was some speculation that bath salts were the cause, since (reportedly) they had already been implicated in some other flesh-eating cases.

The great thing about having your simplistic view of class warfare is the so-called "1 percent" will always be here for you to villainize no matter how prosperous everybody else is. Even in the most socialist and centrally planned economies there is a top 1 percent.
C'mon, Mitt. I know you're out of work, but surely you've got better things to do than post on Slashdot.
Might also explain his obstanance regarding the cosmological constant which he didn't abandon until observing red shif. Might not. I'm uncertain...
Keep in mind that when he introduced the cosmological constant everyone still thought that our galaxy was the only thing in the universe. Hubble figured out that that was wrong about a decade later (and half a decade before noting the correlation between red shift and distance).
Why there are so many 'crowdfunding' stories here on/. Exactly why is it so interesting how a company raises money? It was interesting the first couple of times, but now? Meh... not so much. By the way, its about time for a bitcoin / RaspberryPi story;-)
Then some smart Democrats should throw their support behind this paper, tout their bipartisanship, and wait for some Republicans who, wisely, don't want to be further marginalized so they jump on the bipartisanship bandwagon. Kumbaya! It could happen...
Yep. We've got to learn to deal with the fact that the world is full of assholes, just like they have to learn to deal with the fact that the world is full of people who aren't like them.
But then, I've never seen any indication that the internet was designed for use by grownups.

It was probably too long. When I replied I noticed that you've got two HTML rsquos in it, which, together with the ampersands and semicolons, makes your subject 12 characters longer than it looks.
It isn't a religious faith. Its science. Its writing on the wall, and serious people are finally starting to read it. The people polluting the Earth are already having an impact on our weather patterns - one that has claimed lives.
WRONG
It's NOT science.
Science WELCOMES attempts at falsification. It does NOT label doubters "denialists" or "heretics".
So, what do you call people who reject the heliocentric solar system?

Yes, that's exactly what he said in his closing sentence.
I replied to the wrong guy, didn't I.
Oh, well. Senility starts early in my family.
And the toxicology came back negative, and yet this case continues to get mentioned every time anyone mentions bath salts
I thought bath salts were not detectable. Am I misinformed?
Who cares? No one uses that. Do you use "thou" and "thy" and shit?
Of course, thou shit. Now get thy shit in order.
I'm guessing that his craziness is going to start ticking off the gang leaders he claims to have recruited. Gangs know how to deal with a rabid dog.
Google for "mcafee removal tool" ?

When you start defending yourself with the same phrases as OJ Simpson, you might be on the wrong side of the law. Looking for the real killer...
You know the old saying: If the glove fits, wear it.

*My* taxes are more than an order of magnitude higher than any benefits *I* get from the government.
So move to Somalia.
Oh, wait - maybe you are getting something for your money.
Here's a hint for you -- the $7500 tax credit is just that -- a credit on taxes. The car costs $100k.
Yes, people who buy $100,000 toys really need the tax break.
Here's the relevant bit on Wikipedia:

It's hard to imagine how different the universe must have seemed to them before that.

Star citizen has no procedural content generation. How are they going to fill a whole galaxy without that?
BYOPlanet.
Why there are so many 'crowdfunding' stories here on /. ;-)
Exactly why is it so interesting how a company raises money? It was interesting the first couple of times, but now? Meh... not so much.
By the way, its about time for a bitcoin / RaspberryPi story
Or an RP project crowdfunded by bitcoins.
Guess I wasn't logged in for that post.
Me neither.

"smart Democrats" is an oxymoron.
Looks like the blog is gone.
I guess tumblr was afraid of the slashdotting they were about to get.
Here's a map someone made a week ago:

That's right. You have to slow down first.
Kind of like when you fall off a building.
The dream of faster-than-light travel has been on the mind of humanity for generations
I'm guessing that that's 1, 2, 3, or 4 generations, since we've only known that the speed of light is a problem for space travel for about 100 years.
Someone should tell the authors that "a jump from around 1Mbps to around 7Mbps" is a 600% increase, not a 700% increase.
Why is this concept so hard for people to understand?
It isn't a religious faith. Its science. Its writing on the wall, and serious people are finally starting to read it. The people polluting the Earth are already having an impact on our weather patterns - one that has claimed lives.
