THIS TIME it will be harder for John Kerry to have it two ways He cant be for and against a presidential campaign

Posted in Politics at 12:30 am by Michael Johnson

otherwise it is something other than a sales tax

do you know how much tax that is!!

CryHavoc Chevy will have to pay extra 23% for thie steel extra 23% for thier plastics

nor would you be.,….only for new goods and services

extra 23% for thier wiring

CryHavoc.. ALL my goods are new

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

extra 23% for thier leather

KoBushi…the steelmaker no longer would have th tax compliance costs under the present days sytem system

it would have been taxed 48% before I bought it

So, the cost of said chevy would go up at LEAST 23%… and THEN they would have t add an other 23% CryHavoc the have no tax costs either!

Harry Pothead and Load of the Rings are no-fly-zones for me. Geek material

lol

You keep claiming there are all these “imbedded taxes” but that just isn’t reality

23% for all their raw materials and then the end customer buying the car doesn’t see this 23% tax??? they just see a bottom line price as though there is no tax? that’s not a consumption tax! that’s totally misleading.

Chevrolat does not eat corporate taxes KoBushi…they pass their tax cost donw the line

that’s not going to help people reduce their consumption

down

that will only ruin businesses!

manufactures don’t pay shit in taxes CryHavoc, their supplies are tax-free CryHavoc why can’t you read what I type?

nope

CryHavoc “corporate tax” is on INCOME it isn’t som mysical phantom tax that increasts costs

corporate tax is not sales tax cry

he supplies they get already have tax imbedded in them

NO THEY DO NOT

bu they time the customer bought something the cost has gone up 79% + their 23%

CryHavoc no they don’t

Yes they do

WHERE?

cry no they do not

where it the tax coming from and where is it going to?

*sigh*

where cry?

if you have a resale number you are not taxed

where’s the tax coming from?

do too … do not … do too … do not … what is this? 1st grade folks?

Chevrolet or the acme pencil company are NOT goingg to eat the taxes TEHY pay as a corporation…

where is the embedded tax?

CryHavoc “corporate tax” is on INCOME

I already explained where it is

no you haven’t

12• 11Thanks for the +v 12•

Chevrolet pays income taxes…

YOu said income tax goes away

channel vs cryhavoc

its under the hood - hidden in the left corner

battle of the century

YOU SAID NO MORE INCOME TAX

you ca’t pass INCOME tax on to anyone CryHavoc… all it means is you have t pay MORE income tax

they pass that cost on to you

so that’s gone!

i agree with fairtax but there is some problems with it

the biggest problem with the fairtax is its opponents…. ;-)

you can not charge for products you by.. to sell to the public

CryHavoc is saying the corporate income taxes are considered a cost of doing business and calculated into the price of the goods. That can certainly be done.

they would have to fix that

errr, pro-ponents

Yaakov….yep IMBEDDED

CryHavoc so then, even if what they save in not paying “income tax”… it isn’t going to offset what they hav to PAY in supplies sales tax (which they currently don’t pay)

and you’re saying under the new system all of that goes away that there is no income tax

So, at the very LEAST, a new vehicle will cost 23% more than it does now

and now there is just a consumption tax so is Chrysler going to pay a national sales tax on their raw materials?

Since thier current supplies are tax-free

the Fairtax is a substitute for the Corp income taxes they would be paying…

or does the car buyer pay it when they buy the car? or both?

i sure as HELL would love to pay 25% more on a new vehicle and pay no income tax :P

the prices of goods would not be affected…

if we taxed cell phones, and legalized prostitution, we’d be so in the black, we’d have to expand into mexico

KoBushi.. no 76%more and then the 23% tax you would pay thats 99% more

you’re not answering the question

the market would straighten that out if needed

Where is this 23% charged

It is also true that manufacturers pay tax on equipment used in production (with depreciation worked in.)

on Chrysler’s raw materials?

Yaakov not anymore

or the car buyer at the dealership? or both?

ajofi…the same price they would more or less under the old system…

that does not answer the fucking question

but they would have 100% of their pay

Yaakov under the new tax laws since bush came int office, all such equipment can be written off 100% with no depreciation

At what POINT in the sales transaction does the 23% occur?

I just answered it ajofi…

no you didn’t where in the sales process does the 23% get charged?

the Car dealership would pay the 23%

I think i’ll have a chinky for supper tonight hell yeah that sounds good

oh my god

CryHavoc well, they’d have 93% of thier pay… employeers would lop off the extra 7%, so I guess businesses could save some there

so the dealership pays to chrysler $20,000

I would be all for going back to tariffs to sustain the federal government. It would make the chicanery much more evident.

what’s a chinky?

the price would not be affected..it would remain as it was under the old system…

nharris, a racist way of saying chinese food

ohhhhhh

depending on how many times the product changed hands, you could have HUGE tax bills

sounds good.. I may go for mongolian BBQ

and then has to pay to the government $4600

because the people in the production chain no longer have to pay the crorp income tax

and then charges the customer $24,600? that’s insane

nharris….yummy!!!!

the customer comes along and pays no tax? they just see a $24,600 car? what if they negotiate down? they end up paying more than 23%!

the XCustomer would pay TT & L ..at state level just as they do now…

but no national tax

but they get 100% of their pay as take home… no more with holding

the national tax just gets “built in” you never see it on your receipt

(don’t forget, the 23% is in addition to the state sales tax)

everything just gets 23% more expensve

it is a substitute for the taxes I spoke of earlier nope

people will bootleg stuff

it will never happen

and smuggle

people want their mortgage write off

ajofi has not heard a word I said

more than 23% more expensive, depending on how many times it changes hands

and business need to be able to write off health insurance costs

peolle will have 100% of their pay…

if there is no income tax there is no way to write these costs off and make them tax free otherwise they’re effectively taxed

with more money in the infra…Interest rates would drop

with all these taxes getting collected, its time for universal healthcare anyways

they muber of people filing tax would alos drop…

won’t ever happen

the tax stream to the government would become more transparetn it will happen…. oh..the IRS would be gone too

say in my business by the time it got to me, there would be a 48% tax paid on it.. then after I paid it… 96% tax and then when I sold it,, another 23% thats 119% tax

the current system works too well for too many people

10 billion a year savings right there

CryHavoc with no IRS, who will check to be sure this 23% tax is being charged and paid?

JanetB..it would be like this for you

“We are not calling for elimination of federal taxation, which would be irresponsible and undesirable. Nor does our endorsement call for reduced federal spending. The tax reform plan we endorse is revenue neutral, collecting as much federal tax revenue as the current income tax code, including payroll withholding taxes.” Fair Tax website

lets say you had a 1 dollar basket…

thats would put small business OUT of business

**nor does our endorsement call for reduced federal spending**

JanetB I agree absolutely

12• 11Thanks for the +v 12•

im blind

the asket maker would pay the 23% from selling you the basket as a new good hey Peace

which means her basket would cost 23% more

but he no longer has to spend time or hire people to do his payroll…

does Chrylser get its raw materials tax free under this plan or not?

and she’d have to pass the 23% on t her customer, PLUS 23% of that total

what

he only pays tax on new goods and services

Um…

the payroll will still cost money to do

no she would not..

RAW materials!

He’d still have to hire people to do his payroll CryHavoc

does Chrysler pay 23% on any NEW raw materials?

she would pay the same price as she does now for the basket…

so if Chrylser uses used parts in its vehicles - no tax!

cry.. one is goes from the supplier 23% to the wholesaler 23%.. to me 23% to the customer 23%

CryHavoc no she wouldn’t

cry no I would not

CryHavoc because her basket supplier doesn’t pay tax on the materials h uses

3Joes…Daimler Chrysler is not under the insane US tax system anymore.. they are incorporated in Germany

traitors

it would cot me 3 times more cost

now i get it

td..nope..I do not blame them… better tax deal for them

so non-US companies would not pay the 23% tax? so all imports are suddenly 23% cheaper

no no no guys he’s saying because the corporate tax goes away, a company would REDUCE their raw materials price effectively by 23%

JanetB actually for most stuff more like this… Manufacturer 23% Supplier 23% Distributor 23% reginoal sales distributor 23%, ten to customer 23%

so that when they charge the national sales tax of 23%, the raw material costs the same as it does now

you would be the end user of the basket…..same price as you paid before..

Most of my parts that I sell customers go through at least a 5-company chain before thet get to me

and presumably they are building in some of their payroll costs into that part

you sell yer flowers……you would pay the 23% on the new goods and services…only for new goods and serives though…..

ko right

because payroll costs them money

you would no longer have payroll tax expenses

end payroll and the cost of the part is less

no more cap gians tax..

but now you pay it in sales tax instead of income tax i get it

Restraunts would be more exspensive

CryHavoc.. and all those before me would ADD that 23% they paid

but it’s still not going to work

Because they have to pay 23% for their food, which they currently don’t

no more sole proprietorship tax..

the cost of goods would double by the time it got to me

no more april 15 blues

no janet no no

CryHavoc april 15 blues? I pay quarterly :P But restraunts

ajofi..it will work….

will not only have to pa 23% more for thier supplies

it will not work

but they will have to pay 23% more to have thier equipment repaired

because it will never have an opportunity to work

Consumption tax beats a capital and labor tax….

AND the restraunt will have to add 23% for the sale to

because capital will flow to the US to be invested

Just think if they got rid of the irs how much money they could save by getting rid o all the paper work

what it does, is it shifts the costs

CryHavoc no one is going to invest in a country were the businesses are falling like flies

KoBushi..offset by their svings…

you would need something as big as the IRS to collect teh sales tax!

CryHavoc there is ver little savings CryHavoc they might save the 7% less that they pay per employee

yes there would…

big deal

you make $100,000 on paper but you only get to keep $60,000. And you buy a car for $20,000.

no more corporate tax filings ala 1040 no more payroll deductions for FICA and Medicaid

CryHavoc thoe are only paid on income

YOu make $100,000 and you keep $100,000. You buy a car for $24,600.

no more Double taxation for the conmany

CryHavoc companies don’t pay taxes on supplies, only proffit

Everything you buy is 23% more expensive

ajofi more than that

ajofi…nope

because most thngs yu buy go thru multiple distributors

you don’t get something for nothing cry

so let’s say you pay $1 for somethng now…

it has to cost more because there is no income tax

and it goes thru 5 distributors first

Cost of Doing Business taxs would be replaced by the Fairtax… so it would not ber 23 % nmore

there are no “cost of doing business” taxes only income tax

yes there is… yes there is

well and in some cities like a small $500 liceanse

you didn’t follow me earlier, those five levels of distribution have significantly lower cost under Fair Tax because there is no income tax for the corporation and there is no FICA which they have to pay on all their payroll.

insignificant ajofi no they don’t ajofi income tax isn’t a cost

sure it is

income tax is paid after the cost

it’s a cost of doing business payroll taxes are a cost of doing business

When Chevy makes a car…the the taxes they pay on the profit from that vehicle…are passed on to the consumer in the price…

they are deductible against income

fairtax does _not_ get rid of FICA or medicare taxes - those payroll taxes would remain

Fair Tax *DOES* get ride of FICA

ajofi okay 7% on low wages, big whoop

read it

3 Joes..yes it does

but they are still paying SS… employers do not pay income tax now… it comes out of the employee pay

NOPE not under Fair Tax

you match SS which you would still have to do

SS and Medicare tax go away NOPE

Social Security and Medicaid would be funded from the consumption tax

no matching

no he said income and medicare

FICA tax is gone there is no payroll tax NONE no income tax and no FICA

the matching would alos go away no more

So, that $1 product, the manuf maybe can cut the price 7% with his savings… so now it costs $0.93…. but

KoBushi do you not have to match SSI deductions?

but I am still by the time the product gets to me paying 100 % or more… for the product for the consumption taxes passed on no thanks

CryHavoc nope CryHavoc all subcontractors

i fired all of my employees

well most businesses do….

cause I am not a comsumer, I am a seller

not small businesses

CryHavoc but that “match” is the 7% I was refering to

they would no longer have to pay that matching sum

most small businesses use contractors

CryHavoc because you will still have to pay them the other 7% that is currently withheld

that’s 14.65%

KoBushi…there is the matter of the producers of the supplies to you pass their tax liability along to you in the price

Now then, this $1 item, saves 7% from not matching funds…. now it costs 0.93… now it goes thru *5* distributors … and costs 2.618234286 $2.62

I do the same….albeit on a smaller level

15.3% sorry

You ned to read the book…..

it has no chance people want deductions

yes it does

you need to look at ho supplies are actally changed hands CryHavoc

exactly zero chance

clearly the book has nothing to do wit the supply chain especially on new products

the current system encourages cheating and hiding assets…

cryhavoc is making excuses for his cheating ways

the new system will also

remove the tax on capital…and capital will arrive

the new system encourages cheating and hiding sales

hey fish

lol _3Joeys

except that it will penalize consumption

3Joes…yer right…

yeah, and the new system makes cheating EASY because there is no IRS

so anyone in the business of making money off consumption will make less money

so no on can catch you

that’s the point of a national sales tax and why it is called a consumption tax

but remember I said the fairtax would drastically reduce the number of filers??

KoBushi, there would have to be something as big as the IRS to make sure the new tax was collected

transparency…

12• 11Thanks for the +v 12•

3Joes..not even…

_3Josephs easily

HR 25 has a companion bill with it…

CryHavoc it might reduce the number of filings… but the size of each filing wll be larger

it would strike Amendment XVI

just think of how many folks it would take just to check every single ebay auction

The real issue is total spending by government, not tax reform. bullshit cry Real Tax does NOTHING about the 16th amendment

ajofi…to rein in the spending by the government….. you need to determine what they are spending and how much

a law cannot repeal an amendment

and knowing the government, they’d exempt themselves from pay the tax anyway

2 PM): it would strike Amendment WRONG

ajofi…I said a comapnion bill that would kill XVI..and the IRS listen

a law can’t do that

are you really that niave? here is a clue: second amendment. Tons of laws effectively repealed it.

3Joes….no place they could hide with a streamlined tax system

if the gov’t wants to, it can crap all it wants on the bill of rights.

bill of rights is different

our budget OUGHT to be strictly percentages..

Lupine….it might take a con con to strike XVI…

bill of rights takes power away from government

streamlined? the federal government would suddenly need info on every single purchase in the US - that’s a lot of data to deal with

16th amendment gives power to government they won’t let that go

but once the governments revenue stream is made more transparent…then we will be more clearly be albe to see the wastee

total budget OUGHT to inherently equal total intake. No debt [ except when war is officially declared ]

waste with Holding is a way of hiding what they do

FORCE them to make decisions if they want to boost funding in one area.. where to cut funding.

that makes no sense

don’t you mean “no deficit” ?

the 16th Amendment was illegal….

You understand that no matter what, debt is going to take decades to repay

well it’s not now

e-her: well.. both ;-)

power to the people…

withholding is a way to keep from having to borrow huge amounts of money to keep the government running until the next 15 Apr

an amendment by definition is legal

e-herP No it would not.

e-Hernick generations and generations

e-hernick: stop every single socialist program tomorrow. Use the money to pay downt eh debt.

your children and your children’s children, etc. etc. will be in debt

with holding is a way the government has of hiding its true spending habits

e-hernick: every single last god damn program not listed as the domain of the federal governmen tin the constitution.. stop spending a single dome on it.

that’s the US way

so you want government to run a massive budget surplus, that is, to tax us way more than it spends, right?

no govt. but spend spend spend

3Joes..we got along with out it until WW II….

tax’n'cut

military doesn’t fund itself

e-hernick: no.. SCALE the budget with tax intake.

“The consumption tax, on the other hand, can only be regarded as a payment for permission-to-live. It implies that a man will not be allowed to advance or even sustain his own life, unless he pays, off the top, a fee to the State for permission to do so. The consumption tax does not strike me, in its philosophical implications, as one whit more noble, or less presumptuous, than the income tax.” Murray Rothburn

e-hernick..thats the dems dream…. but piss away the extra for more bottles of Malt Liquor

What is fair about allowing the government to confiscate 23 percent of the value of every new good and service?

this is the start of a boston globe article THIS TIME, it will be harder for John Kerry to have it two ways. He can’t be for and against a presidential campaign. The pressure is on to choose: Will he run for president or Senate in 2008?

we have consumption tax, it makes a lot of money

survivor horror is my favourite type of singleplayer shooter game

tax’n'cut? By that I mean, you keep tax stable or raise taxes, while cutting on spending in order to achieve a budget surplus that will be used to pay the debt

ajofi..I thought for a second there you got it…but apparently you don’t

service is not exempt

e-Hernick that’s crazy isn’t the what the republicans were supposed to stand for?

e-hernick..or grow the economy while shrinking or halting government growth

SUPPOSED TO

grrrr`, nah Republicans are supposed to stand for CUT and CUT not TAX and CUT

yeah the republicans are real good at cutting back on spending

the GOP stands for “We will not steal as much”

in theory?

but the Damns are ramping up for a merry 2 years…

sure

Lupine heheh

lupine is calling jewish people cheap

as if the republicans haven’t been already and reagan before that funny how clinton managed to balance the books ;p

grrrr..no he sis not..

dems can’t raise taxes without bush’s concurrence

Pudgy penguins beat James Bond ‘by a flipper’

prohected surpluses do not count

actually they can.. by not ‘extending the tax cuts’..

ivy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wassup?

that’s not a raise that’s allowing the statute to take effect

yeah how about retracting some of the tax cuts the repubs made? that would be a good start

all the tax cuts from a few years ago expire automagically - no action means higher taxes

grrrr and watch the economy stall….

retracting tax cuts? are you out of your mind?

cryhavoc :????/ there was once outrage when a president did a veto for reasons other than constitutionality

no action = tax increase by the democrats.

Hasn’t tax revenue gone up since the cuts?

Lupine|, yep, but the media will never say that

why repubicans introduced tax cuts

Bill….thats a good thing…anything the damnocrats can do to ruin the economy…a good thing

Yaakov, yup

Yaakov…yep

I wonder how many of the poor the Democrats are going to put back ON the tax rolls by letting the cuts expire.

Yaakov, we set 3 new records this year for tax receipts

cry, yeah

yeah the poor got the cuts?

tax and spend

the poor do not create jobs…

The poor were removed from the rolls

instead of spend and spend

So here is what I suggest; we must move to a Tax’n'Cut economy. First, let’s lower the income tax. Second, let’s create a massive new federal sales tax system, modelled after FairTax, that will balance out lost revenue from the income tax, and increase total revenue through taxation of illegal aliens. Third, let’s become soft on crime; release a million prisoners in a year, lower law enforcement, end the war on drugs and the domestic war on terror. Fourth, let’s cut social programs and welfare to the minimum possible, and let’s stop encouraging women to become welfare queens by producing babies. Let’s offer free contraception to every person on welfare. Fifth, let’s start taxing churches. Sixth, let’s merge the smaller red states together in order to achieve economies of scale. Those states are huge drains on the federal government, and perhaps merging them with make them less of a burden to the rest of America.

Some of them anyway.

like the GOP

grrrr`, tax credit for kids - goes back to the old level

actually, the lowest tax bracket had the largest tax cuts [ percentage wise ]

really? lol

and many of the poorest GOT FREE MONEY, thanks to bush’s tax cut yes, the lowest bracket of 15% was cut by 1/3 to 10%

is that why the highest got the biggest cuts?

e-hernick…and diminish the states’ power and influence..no way

yes, I personally hate the EITC - its welfare - call it welfare - not a “tax”

tax rates are in PERCENTAGES, not in absolute dollars. indeed, it IS welfare

heh I got the EITC a few times…

give me all your Lupines

no, we’re not reducing the power and influence of states that deserve it.. the states that pay more than their fair share of federal spending, like california, need to stop subsidizing the red states and the farm states that consume all the federal funding without giving it back

amazing..I am white

one’s race doesn’t factor into the EITC

e-hernick…then return to the states their rights…so that not as much money goes to the fed to be redistributed 3Joes..I know..I was surprised is all single white male…EITC funds LOL

12• 11Thanks for the +v 12•

the red states are despondent and dependent on welfare.. they have low populations, low education, low income and they are a huge financial drain on the federal government. And they get hugely disproportional representation in congress.. well, this must stop. I suggest that we start merging the tiny underperforming states together.

the federal income tax is the #1 largest socialist wealth-redistribution in the world I believe.

then we cut on spending massively

(the whole “real” reason for the EITC is to make the tax compliance (% of folks filing federal returns) numbers higher)

e-hernick….crap

and use the newfound budget surplus to repay the debt

you want to reduce states rights…

lol

while implementing a national sales tax that is similar to fairtax but that complements the income tax

“you can’t handle the truth”

grow the economy to cover the debt…and constrain governmt

grow it in the red states?

in order to grow the economy you’ve got to stop hurting the best performing states

do we need redneck production?

e-hernick…thats what KoBushi thinks will happen

the national sales tax idea is dead … it always was … the government will _never_ permit the income tax to go away (but they’ll happily add a new sales tax :-)

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/19/rangel.draft.ap/ WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 if the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has his way.

look, the red states are pulling everybody down.. the farmers are getting subsidies and hurting the technologically advanced states by draining federal funding

e-hernick which means reduing the fed control..not increasing it

those states that are profitables are hurt terribly by the bankrupt states

I am for killing the subsidies…

I would LOVE to say “thank you, fucking idiots voters” for that!

15th century Odescalchi Castle in Italy, where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have just been wed! Although not legally. You have to see this picture of the happy bride. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/graphics/2006/11/19/wcruise19a.jpg

cyberfr0g, note the ages - draft for men & women from age 18 to 42

yes, but right now those states wield influence that is disproportionate

poor thing

e-hernick you want to reduce state power in favir of the fed…

CometBaby she’s been set free by scientology!

no, I want to give more power to fewer states

thats why we have a Senate and a house

I want to give more power to the states that deserve it

a compromise

while cutting down federal spending, hence reducing federal power

they have that…more House reps

I want to make congress smaller less senators

no way 2 per state…100

you should become scientologists instead of christians better fringe benefits

we need to bring the number of states down to 40 at most

is an atheist….

you get to go to an alien planet

wyoming shouldn’t exist

nope…50 is fine

grrrr`, and a free personality test too ;-)

enforce #10

Xenu save us from a democratic led house and senate!!

#10 gets fucked around by #14 unfortunately

she looks so miserable in that picture

probably because she is CometBaby or should be

A Catho-Scientologist - Interpets Jesus Engrams

right

if she wasn’t high on scientology e-rays

when you’ve just been informed that you are gongi to be the mother to an alien child..

Well I made my turkey dinner today and its all finished and everyone has gone home

#10 still has power…

whew

States rights

wolfy .. lol

first alien birth

Lupine|, Michael Jackson is being re-born? ;-)

no wonder they were slow to release pictures

Wyoming, the Dakotas, Montana, Rhode Island, Idaho, Nebraska, the Virginias, Utah, New England..

the Raelians at it again?

merge down some of these states into bigger states

#10 would have a lot more power if states threw a fucking fit everytime the fed encroached on their rights

she look like she has lost 30 lbs

in the form of cruise/holmes

e-hernick NY is part of New England

Also, Alaska should lose its senators.. Alaska isn’t worth it.

e-Hernick, yeah, Texas isn’t big enough! - add OK & KS to it

Herzen yes

Why should Alaska lose its senators?

you’d be miserable too if you were married to tom cruise

e-hernick is farting out his mouth

New York State should be divide at roughly rockland county and south

I agree, California and New York could be split in to

AK has Billions of dollars of resources

so let’s make it a protectorate

save NY cut NYC free e-hernick it is a state…. so be it

yes, NYC, Chicago and LA should become three new states. each with 2 senators.

BillFrugg, well yeah, I’d be miserable married to any man!

Herzen…hehehe

set nyc adrift, cut the moorings and let her float off into the atlantic

lol! that’s not what i meant… hehe

I mean, we’re always talking about redrawing the map of the middle east

Bill .. the first time he gave me a direct order would be the last time

I think we need to redraw the map of America first

more red states e-Hernick?

cryhavoc what should we do with new jersey

grrrr`: no, the red states should be merged together

and I get the distinct impression that guy is a bully

into one, e-Hernick?

e-Hernick, lets make it metric - 10 states wide, 5 tall - perfect squares (except for hte coastlines)

and by red states, I mean states that drain the federal ressources without giving back

lol that’s the heartland

50 states is too much

remember when she gave birth to tom’s kid? he demanded absolute silence in the room, including from her

grrrr`: exactly, the heartland should be merged down into a few states

who else might vote republican

he could kiss his nasty business goodbye lol

e-Hernick, ok, 5 wide and 5 tall ;-)

unless they get all the kickbacks and pork barrel money?

j/k

do a lorena bobbit?

hehe

he should have eaten the umbilical cord

we need to identify failed states like mississippi and save them from themselves

like he said he would

maybe the feds failed MS

grrrr`, but it makes such a nice necklace

he better not go to sleep if I go to bed with a knife under my pillow

cruise makes algore look sane

mississippi failed itself

CB sleeps with knives!!!

with Katrina as a standard to live up to, we better hope nothing worse happens

huge amounts of federal cash didn’t help it

runs with scissors

cruise doesn’t like psychiatry for a reason people

dances with Wolves

grrrr`: because psychiatrists consider him mad

CB dances with Wolfys

grrrr`, quacks are nuts

lol

right e-Hernick

grrrr`, that one he got right

speaking of quacks, Dr. Bussard is a huge quack.

“There’s no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft, and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm’s way,” Rangel said.

lol

cyberfr0g SO WE went to iraq for what

people will act more irrational and less on facts when they personally may be involved. well, no shit.

cyberfr0g for what did we go to iraq for

WMD

Mr Rangel, where did you think those volunteers came from?

fun

I doubt that would have influenced anything

oil? power?

grrrr` so we went to iraq for oil

We went to Iraq for the WMDs

where is the iraqi oil we got

BillFrugg didn’t you learn from Kerry? Only morons go into the military, as we all know.. they’re not related to washington elite

Operation Iraqi Liberation was to find WMDs nothing else.

you know what i find intresting, since democrats took over there seems to be a lot less tension and arguements in this chat room

and it did.

lol

not my fault if it’s so badly run gopp_ all i said was that was the motivation

imagine how angry Hillary must be right now

I do not concur with your assessment.

bah, bullshit

grrr what evidence do you have that we went to iraq for oil…especially seeing as how we arent getting any more oil than before

Republicans have been against the draft since we tore it down in the 1970s. (Eliminated the draft) we don’t want it back and it has nothing to do with making decisions to go to war or not.

maybe we went to war to shut down some oil supplies

i think we went to war to SAVE THE KURDS!

raise the prices

A democrat in congress has called for the draft, ostensibly as a joke, however, it means that Democrats support the draft. I heard this argument here the other day.

Its irrelevant. And Whats his face is a damn fool. (Rangel)

picotero, why would we do that?

lol! we spend more on taxes than oil

picoetero, we could shut down our own oil supplies if we wanted to do that

and why would we wanna spend more money on oil thats the dumbest thing ever

we went to iraq because we are on a mission from GOD

e-Hernick, Rangel has had this bill floating for over 2 years now

The war was right and I would have done it again knowing all I know now.

cut down on SVU production? god told me to declare war

Tailor, well considering oil prices tripled, I dunno

Thank God we don’t have Carter in office!

12• 11Thanks for the +v 12•

picotero oil is under 60

We went into Iraq because Saddam was a wildcard and a joker, and he was destablizing whether or not he had any direct links to al queda. They were still an enemy of the USA and the Middle east

freemrkt, is there anything you would change though ? Seems like the iraq has gone to shit because of our bad planning

picotero oil prices are down

oil is a bit under $56 now

FreeMrkts is that why we sold him anthrax at first?

Purpdank it has not turned in to shit grrrr` yes so what

tasty anthrax

we where figiting the russians grrrr` do you rember the cold war

You can bet Rhetoric aside, not one leader in the middle east cried when Saddam was taken out, they popped champagne.

and the kurds?

grrrr` we helped the kurds

gopp even our top politicans and military personal all agree the post war planning was bad and things are getting out of control in iraq

gopp, true, now the price is only slightly more than double instead of triple

by takingout saddam

you disagree with the military leaders gopp ?

Purpdank top polticans wrong

yes they freed the kurds

they have not said iraq turned bad

Maybe the turks didnt like it but then they fucked up our original battle plan anyway

Purpdank that a lie

that is why the war was declared

Many of our military leaders didnt like Rumsfeld.

Purpdank some qb arm chair generals said it gone bad

SAVE THE KURDS!

The turks wouldnt care if Saddam committed genocide against the Kurds.

but they have not been in iraq Purpdank stop trolling

dude im not trolling simmer down

But most the middle eastern governments considered saddam a threat.

yeah, just invade

in my opnion your saying stuff that unture

don’t know what to do after good stuff

or half true

that takes planning or lack of it

gopp you seriously think iraq is going good ?

yes

wow

not in bahgahdad

it’s going gggggggggggggggggggreat!

but in other parts or iraq sure

grreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaat

in baghada thier still some trouble but in most parts of iraq it oh k

’some’ trouble ? haha

only in bagdad? lol

iraq is turning into a civil war

sure as hell alot better than any other significant gorund war we’ve been in.

and you call it ’some’ trouble

thier lots of trouble in bahghad

nice

Purpdank prove it

Gopp, Its not going good. But thats a lot different than saying we didnt do the right thing we did. Saddam gone is worth it even if we dont succeed 100% on Iraq
