If class warfare, which is precisely what the left is promoting, is to be a part of society then why not use class warfare in a manor that will actually help the economy.
The rich do not pay taxes, they only transfer the cots on in the form of lower wages, higher prices of thier products and/or fewer and smaller investments.
This is why if we are going to embrace the class warfare strategy, it needs to be implemented in a manor that actually produces results.
Since the white male is as much to blame as t he rich, why not just increase taxes on white males?
If I supported class warfare , which I don't, this would be the only means to reach the desired ends using class warfare as the mechanism.
If this idea sounds crazy to anyone on the left, then you are only feeling what fiscal conservatives have been feeling since the whole class warfare began to gain steam.

It is not like there are less people in government who smoke.
You ignorantly assumed that the Vice Tax collections would be used in some righteous way, but in reality the monies collected will almost assuradly be used in waste.
I do not hold those in government in such high regard to think that they are able to emulate the self-righteousness they govern with.
Rather instead, they would incite a Vice Tax and use those monies to lobby for an unrelated cause of thier persuation.

Uh, that's money that wasn't there before, it doesn't take ANYTHING away from other government spending, it simply takes money from people too stupid to stop smoking and disperses it among a few government employees, who will inturn buy houses, cars, groceries, and other stuff from stores where we work.
I'm all for it. We need a big booze tax, too. 25 cents per bottle of beer.

I was astounded that over a week, 18 different men responded to my ad, enclosed pictures of their dicks and said stuff like, and I quote, "hello i hope u find ur girl if u dont id love to lick u all up."
So, I engaged and did my best to fuck with them and insult them and said stuff like, "I love men because you can insult them and tell them they're full of shit and all you have to do is mention sex and they are oblivious. Just like you. Wanna see a pic?" They may be reading this very post and still be emailing me!
I'm not one of those mean, man-hating dykes, really I'm not. I'm just a girl who grew up straight and now identifies as gay.
And I hate to say this, but damn! I want to post those idiots' pictures and emails so you can talk to them yourself and ask them wtf! Should I? I saved each and every one of their pictures and emails and phone numbers.
I can't be the only girl who's had this experience. I want to teach them a lesson for being idiots, but I don't want to be too much of a bitch.
What say you?

This election is probably the most important election in a hundred years. We must get out the vote.
.
We cannot let the Republican party win. If there is a Republican victory say goodbye to the middle class, say hello to a war with Iran. Say hello to more corporate control of our government, say goodbye to healthcare for everyone. You can also say goodbye to Unions and say hello to more tax cuts for the wealthy and elimination of many of the social programs for the poor and needy.

The secret technologies in question are covered by military/agency secrecy orders, mostly obtained under the US Inventions Secrecy Act, 1951. There are currently over 5,000 hidden devices, many computer - based and satellite facilitated, all with military / criminal applications. A list of known patents is available on the "Surveillance" page after the article on "Social Engineering". Neurophones, brain scanners and brain wave vocabulary software, directed energy and E-M weapons are amongst these as are technologies to affect the weather, cause earthquakes etc etc. Undemocratically, and to protect powerful criminals from scrutiny,various other Secrecy, National Security and Defamation legislation has been enhanced in recent years.

They say Carranza went back to the scene two hours later, as police were investigating.
Officers arrested Carranza and he was charged with accident involving personal injury or death.
Sheriff Richard Wiles relieved Carranza of duty and placed him on administrative leave without pay while they conduct an internal investigation.
Wiles tells us Carranza is scheduled to meet with internal affairs tomorrow to discuss his future with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.

Duh...well let's see here - he sure as hell wasn't standing on the street corner 10:30 at night with an ice cream cone in his hand.
He broke the law - someone called the cops on him - the cop came to the scene and found him behnind the 7-11 store - the dumb bastard ran from the cop - the dumb criminal threatened the cops life - cop shot his gun in self preservation mode - criminal took bullet to head which resulted his stupid criminal actions.
Any stupid mother fucker who runs from the cops sure isn't out going to church now are they?

Oh and don't think the police or society owes you gang banging uneducated low life bastards any favors. When was the last time you or your disgusting animal low life criminal thug friends ever felt sorry for all the people who you damaged, killed, robbed, raped, or destroyed their innocent lives in some fucked up manner? Well when?? Waiting? .... Still waiting?
Yeah That's what I thought!
Glad to see the police protecting themselves when put in a very dangerous life threatening situation. Frankly I encourage more of this since they will rid the streets of you scum bags that drag down society. Furthermore - our jails are crowded enough.
GOOD JOB TO THE POLICE OFFICER - HE SAVED HIS OWN LIFE ON THAT NIGHT!

What was "alleged "suspect "DOING" that was sooooo suspicious that the officer felt he couldnt mind his own business & felt compelled to "KILL" ????
Can I please have a gun and a tazer and a badge ... so we can start out from a even and respectful starting point. Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. How many people have to die so the police feel respected?

Both sides hope the president's position helps sway votes in their favor when the issue hits Maryland's ballot this November
I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Obama said.
When Obama announced that his position on same-sex marriage had evolved, it outraged some African-American pastors like Pastor and Del. Emmett Burns.
"He has said to his base, African-Americans, 'I am going against your beliefs and your thoughts,'" Burns said.
He's so opposed to same-sex marriage, he told church members he will no longer support the president and now predicts Obama will lose the election because of it.
He and many other leaders are pouring their energies into gathering the signatures needed to put Maryland's same-sex marriage law on the November ballot.
"I think it might be a call to action for people to really express what they believe," Father Erik Arnold of Our Lady of Perpetual Help said.
In Maryland, some of the strongest opposition to the law has come from the black community-- about 30 percent of the population. Some African-American religious leaders are preaching about it

Well, we've heard from the stupid people. Anyone with intelligence want to reply.
So, you'd rather have a thief who would steal all your money, reduce you to a serf, and make you work on slave wages for the rest of your life, over a communist. Yep, you're a Republican. You threw your brain away so that you can make your decisions based on 40-year old propaganda labels. You'd rather die than think. Republican to the bone.
Beats the shit out of the Communists, Marxists, Crooks and Terrorists Oblama put into HIS Cabinet. I'll take a Crooked Banker over a group that wants to subvert our Government any day.

Fuck you. You hit me, well beat me, on a regular basis broke my eye socket, gave me concussions, and abused me like it was your job. I stayed out of fear, love and a glimmer of hope that it would change. It didn't, and after I had our child I finally left because I loved him more then I feared you. I moved and tried to start over. What do you do? Sue me for alimony. Bullshit. I lost my fucking job because I was unable to manage raising our child and going to work with black eyes and a broken nose. I stayed home and hid from humiliation. They finally convicted you and put you in prison for what you did to me, but you never stop the letters and threats, but you don't scare me for me anymore. You scare me because I don't want my child to be hurt, he is young and he is my life. Now I have nothing, I am unable to pay my bills, my propane bill came today and I broke down and cried harder then I had in years. I struggle daily and don't get shit. I actually started to think about going home to you when you get out, which isn't terribly far away. Not to mention how humiliating it was to see you on the news when you commited your latest felony. Everyone saw you, how awful for our kid.
But I won't. I have almost nothing. My rents late, my car will probably be repossessed and I have no help with my wonderful child.
I finally have the one thing that matters most, pride and respect for myself. I have a beautiful don, and I will have a beautiful mothers day.
Hope you enjoy your cell.

If you honestly believe that the multi-millionaires in the democratic party give a crap about you, your family, or your financial situation, you are as clueless as the republicans who think that their multi-millionaires give a crap about them. BOTH parties are owned by the corporations and both parties answer only to their corporate masters. The democrats hide behind a mask of social consciousness while the republicans are a bit more honest about it, but both parties have the exact same motivations. Those being to get as much money out of your pockets as they can while filling their own pockets as much as possible. The middle class of this country is being bled dry by both parties and eventually we all will realize that we're being taken for a ride, but by then it will be too late. There will be no middle class. The rich will own us completely and we will still be blaming the made up boogeymen that they tell us to blame for our own mistakes. It's about time we all remembered that the politicians work for us and should answer to us. NOT corporations.

I will not give one cent more while we keep paying for all these illegals that are KILLING are economy. We give them more than we give our own citizens.

1. You were riding double and blocking traffic. And you knew it.
2. Not just riding double, one of you was fully in the middle of the lane of traffic. And you knew it.
3. Riding double is illegal. And you knew it.
4. You were blocking no less than 4 cars behind you. And you knew it.
5. None of the cars stacked-up behind you could safely go around you without crossing into oncoming traffic. And you knew it.
6. You were on a section of roadway with numerous blind curves and none of the cars could see around you. And you knew it.
After you flipped me off, this is what I SHOULD have pulled-over, stopped and said to you both:
1. You are each nothing more than spandex-clad wanna-bes with no manners, uncouth and have, apparently, more money than brains and absolutely no consideration for others.
2. Your Mamas somehow missed the whole child-rearing concept of "share and play nice."
3. What part of "Share the Road" do you not get as a concept?
4. The "Share the Road" sign that you had just blown-past was NOT just meant for cars. It was also meant for YOU (see the little bicycle on the sign?) and was put there primarily for YOUR safety, not mine.
5. If there were to be a car vs. bicycle accident, caused by you, you and your bike would get the most damage. Not any of the drivers or their cars.
6. If Darwin's theory holds any modern-day relevance, neither of you will be on this planet too much longer. And while, I'm thinking that probably won't be any great loss, there are probably loved ones that you'll leave behind who will miss you and spend the rest of their days wondering "why God, oh why did he have to be such an unsafe and inconsiderate rider?"
And still, with all this, you both decided that I was deserving of being flipped-off?
Riding like were today, one or both of you WILL cause an accident one day. And it's probably not the first time you've heard that, either. And, after hurting someone else, you will have to live with yourselves and that knowledge for the rest of your days. But, you are both so self-absorbed and discourteous to other human beings that you'll probably just blow it off and go on your merry way, ready to cause another accident that you will, of course, blame on someone else. People like you NEVER, EVER learn but, hey, you DID learn how to extend your middle finger, so what more life-skills could you possibly need to get-by in this world?
Self-entitled, self-centered, egocentric, spandex-clad JERKS. Oh, and "Happy Mother's Day" (and not in a good way).
