And, lets remember that bill Gates has actually contributed something worthwhile to the economy while many millionaires working in the financial industry have created nothing of value-- nothing that truly makes our economy better!
Ummm.. I really do think bringing up the war is valid. besides...
It is a little disingenuous for politicians to suddenly be concerned with deficits when they had no problems with deficits incurred by the war and Bush's tax cuts. Oh, and Bush did not even include the cost of the war in his budget! Very creative accounting!
What third world country are you worried about becoming? Switzerland? Canada? France?
Actually, third world countries do not provide services, but you can find some of the richest people (and most corrupt) in the world in them.
yeah-- we're heading more toward a third world country in that...
I'm sorry you feel that way. My take is a little different. We owe taxes every year despite the fact that we claim no exemptions and make hefty contributions to retirement accounts. Our house does not provide much tax relief as we refinanced to a low interest 15 year mortgage about five years...
I understand and don't know what to say. I am so fortunate because our cat shelter is the type of place you go to and don't worry about the cats too much-- most are running around free unless they are on some antibiotics.

Ah, spring and summer-- love it-- so great to get outdoors. In fact, my main inspiration for carrying on video workouts in the dead of winter is so that I will maintain fitness for outdoor activities.
I loooove hiking-- our summer vacations are usually based on hiking.
Tennis is so fun. I pretty...
Oh-- and I wanted to say, for the case of the Shriner hospital. Yes, the care was good-- but if charities are the way to go why just one Shriner hospital? Why isn't this model used for all hospitals? Do you think this is feasible?
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the poster who said that charities are best for taking care of the sick and the poor.
Charities are not an efficient or effective answer for uninsured individuals.
Did you know that hospitals that are non profits are required to provide care to...
Hi,
Well, Obama, as part of the Federal stimulus bill reduced payroll taxes for this year, but I don't think they should have gone down by half-- that seems a bit much.
