This is why I hate posting in the political section. People just spout of what they hear and don't think about it logically at all. Yea, just tax smokers and it'll be ok. Just tax people that like soda, it'll be okay. Just tax free air, it'll be ok. When is it not gonna be ok? You know what the answer is? When you either realize what's going on, or when they tax something you do/use. One of these days, you're all gonna wake up and be in the movie "1984" and you won't even have some place like this to cry about why you can't have this or do that. Once a freedom is gone, its gone forever.
Just tax whatever, it'll be ok, should be Why tax whatever and WHY will it be ok. |

I am not much for politics however, reading this sparked an interest. And well this maybe off topic however, how may of you think that the economy is actually turning around? We just keep losing money and getting further into debt. Most of us barely keep up with our bills. Single americans struggle to pay for healthcare and bills and food. If we have to go to the doctor and we dont have insurance then we either pay up or go on living with the pain or illness. Or we end up in the er with a bill that we can pay and we end up with terrible credit and cant get the loans for cars or houses due to our poor credit. Its am endless vicious cycle. Taxing sodas and cigarettes might encourage us to put them down. They tend to be more of a leading cause to our health problems. Obesity, lung cancer, heart disease, etc. An average american who drinks soda at least 3 times a day are drinking the caloric intake for half a day of nutrition. And people who smoke at least a pack a day take several years off their lives. So i mean when you think about it is Obama really hindering the poor by his taxes? As silly as it may seem, there's a luxury tax on yachts, high end luxury cars, lear jets, but the rich will fork over whatever they can to have these luxuries. Same with the poor. So if they tax cigarettes and soda, it'll make people put them down? What if they start taxing food higher and taxing water outta the tap? Do we put those down too? So what's next? Taxing air? Oh wait, that's what the carbon tax is gonna be! So lets see, we have to put down smokes, soda, food, water, and air, ummm, do you see the problem now? |

 A percentage tax is fair
Even with the spend happy politicians in congress, a flat tax of 8% on everyone, with no deductions whatsoever would pull us outta the Obama record high deficit in no time. But then they'd realize that and spend more and more on useless things. |

Oh and either doing away with social security or making the money in the social security slush fund is used for what its supposed to be for, not whatever new social program comes up.

The simple answers are a flat tax, less social programs, fiscal responsibility, and line item veto.

So I am told, but did you know that 18,000 people die in the USA every year as a result of not being able to afford health care? Scare tactics, old arguments, and lots of insensitivity for the people who are paying with their livelihood under this tax and spend health care system that they keep trying to shove down our necks. |

With enough creativity, you can do anything, if you put enough effort into it. |

Just goes to show you, anybody will say whatever they need to get into office. I work for UPS and would have had to pay 1800-2200 dollars a year in medical coverage tax, and I make way under 250K, but that right there is almost a months pay. So because I chose to get a job with good benefits, I almost had to work a whole month for free to get free healthcare for everyone.
First the cigarette tax, tax on the poor. Soda tax, tax on the poor. Higher end corporate taxes, trickles down to a tax on the poor. You know what we need is Gov't spending money according to what they have on hand, no what they "THINK" they'll have. |

so late last night on this site i had a conversation with a guy .. in my own town that was so awesome it gave me sweet dreams (get your mind outta the gutter). so its the next night... and i'm scared. i'm scared if i message him he'll feel weirdly smothered or whatever. but i'm scared if i don't ... he won't message me and it would have all been a fluke. its very hard to explain. what should i do? 
Club him in the head, and drag him to your Woman cave. |

I have a harmless yet annoying sickness of always editing my sentences everytime. Everything I type or write, I somehow can think of so many ways to rewrite a single sentence that I end up editing it over and over and over. What is wrong with me? OCD? |

Kinda like Max Payne, lotta stupid doors that you don't even get a the lock is broken, just a wiggling of the door knob. Come on, you're playing Max Payne, a bad *** sadistic cop, and you can't f'in kick a door in? Pfffffft

Thank you Gumby! Are you planning on watching any of these? I like REO Speedwagon and Styx Prolly get dragged to the Jeff Dunham show, but I'm kinda scared about Kid Rock and Skynyrd playing in the same night, that's just too weird, but interesting at the same time. |

The programmers got a lil crazy with decoration, and since every door in the game can't lead to some where, they have broken locks. Would be better if they said somethings like, the door is jammed, there's something blocking it from the inside, or its been nailed shut. But alas, without an open world format, you have to have limitations.

Conceal and carry permits are gonna kill more people, global warming is gonna kill more people, legalized abortion is gonna kill more people. If you say it to yourself enough times, you might just believe it, but the rest of us live in reality.
Letting the government take away our rights one by one without anyone realizing it, is going to kill more people than anything. |

I always find it funny that people equate conceal and carry to pissed off people packing guns. But criminals don't have permits and carry guns and are usually pissed off and looking to rob somebody. People applying for permits to carry guns aren't the ones you should be worried about, but if you wanna run to the hills, you go right ahead.
