The Democrats have one guy who shrieks like a maniac when debate on a bill he's sponsoring doesn't go his way, and another guy who likes to jump up and troll things like "the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly"-- but they don't have any loons. OK!
People who earn $250,000 a year are not rich, and the current administration has already raised taxes on people who make far less than that: tobacco, tanning, and anyone who doesn't want health insurance. It's almost certain that taxes will be raised on nearly EVERYONE next year, as the W tax cuts will expire and Congress has not moved much on extending them. Even if the Republicans got out of the way as Obama wishes (I'm not sure how a minority gets IN the way), the Democrat plan does not extend the cuts for the top two brackets. This means that people making as little as $171,000 a year-- again, NOT RICH-- get a tax hike.
We'd all be a lot better off if we realized two things: one, that wealth comes from building assets, not earning wages-- thus "rich" people aren't people who just make more than you; and two, that money isn't a zero-sum game. We can ALL benefit from a capitalist, but lawful and ethical society.
Democrats want to "fundamentally transform" the USA. That's not right wing, any way you slice it. That being said, Republicans spent about seven years doing the same thing REALLY SLOWLY.
I had Double Dragon for the PC, and while it had EGA graphics that closely resembled the arcade game, I played it in CGA mode because the control was so much better. I assumed that this was because of my 10 MHz XT, but years later I tried it on my 486 and it was still sluggish. They clearly tried to make the timing cpu-independent, but in the end made it too slow to play on ANY system.
Check out the picture of the 2600 Adventure box on this page, then look at the screen shot of the dragon on this page. Somebody get this FREAKIN' DUCK AWAY FROM ME!
All kidding aside, the cover art on some of these games is worthy of framing in its own right.
It's not that every vehicle has been stuck in there for nine days: it's that the traffic has been crawling for nine days. Usually a traffic jam clears out at a later hour, but volume is too high even at night.
I know plenty of people who have sold their cars on second hand for ~£1500 - AFAIK not one has bothered to file a tax return at all (99% of people here don't have to, see my other post).
That's because almost invariably, the value of the car goes down. Cars are liabilities. You don't pay taxes unless it's worth more than you paid for it; then it's capital gains.
You're making a scapegoat of religion-- and what religion I don't know, because you seem to assume that all religions have the same values. The fact is, laws are made by both the religious and nonreligious. Both the people and their elected representatives are complicit when rights are violated. Your vague "religion" that values modesty over peace is merely a straw man you've constructed to distract us from the problem and allow us to recuse ourselves from it.
The Western lifestyle, which includes being able to drive one's fat ass down to Wal-Mart to buy some plastic shit for next to nothing, is predicated upon slavery, murder, and torture.
Ascribing moral equivalence between buying cheap crap and making a conscious decision to murder is false, absurd, and disgusting. If you really believed these things, you wouldn't live here because our entire republican system is contrary to your way of thinking. We cannot all take personal responsibility for the actions of other individuals. We do enough bad things all on our own. Clean up your own backyard.
Who is this "we"? The murder and torture perpetrated by Islam is by Sharia law. We have laws against harassment and murder. F***ing republics, how do they work?
And if you think water boarding is the only torture thats been going on or that it's only been a few terrorists, boy do YOU have a lot of reading to do.
Well, Nancy Pelosi says she had no idea! And who am I to call the Speaker a liar!

With the epidemic of Chinese guys knifing students, that seems frighteningly possible. Hope there aren't any school buses caught in this jam.

Maybe if we had economists, instead of socialists, writing articles about markets...
Like the article said, she will have to pay a minimum $300 tax on $50 of income.

As if they won't outlaw those sleeves.
d'jeet yet?
They probably mean bozo sort. You take two random items and switch them.
I sorta like it.
It's inherent in the visible light that we use to view it.

o-Zay!
How about... because you need to pick one?
You'll have to view source, I guess.
On the down side, you have to appear on The View so that Whoopi can personally award it.

I see you got a "-1, Disagree" mod there. Oh wait, it says "Troll". Shame we don't have a "Disagree" mod so that people can be honest.
