    Default This country is going to hell in a hand basket

    It really is between the new law they just passed on college students, Congress getting in the middle of a football game, and being taxed now so that people who can't afford to watch tv will now have money coming to them so that they can seriosuly WTF?!?!?!?!?! Obesity is up and people know the health risks of that so when parents don't feed their kids they get DFCS on them but they don't if their toddler is 20lbs overweight? People making stupid decisions on their mortgages and they want the government to bail them out?


    It's ridiculous. The only way to get ahead in this country is through an education yet college students are now being held to the same tax rates as their parents who make 5x(in my case 50x) so that in the end they really can't afford it. Yet at the same time the stupid people who can't even get a job are now getting checks for the governments so that they can watch tv? And now congress is saying that the NFL channel is interfering with ANTI-Trust laws by not allowing other networks to show the Pats vs. Giants game? I mean come on What's next Pay Per View will be outlawed.

    This Country NEEDS A WAKE UP CALL!

    Wow you really are as stupid as you seem copied from my other thread.

    It's gotten ridiculous this year as far as taxes have gone. People don't understand a lot of things that are going on right now and you can thank the media for that. The media complains of large unemployment yet we are at the lowest unemployment rate ever? The media says that college graduate should consider weighting tables yet corporations are fighting with eachother over up coming graduates creating higher wages. I did some research the economy has increased 20x since the 80's yet our ecconomy sucks? Sorry someone has to call bull****. Did ya'll know that corporations in the U.S. pay higher Corporate taxes than anywhere else in the world and yet in the first quarter of this year Exxon posted the highest grossing quarter for any company in any sector EVER and Hillary Clinton came back and said that they made TOO MUCH money and wanted to RAISE corporate taxes? Yet we live in a free market ecconomy


    Now after reading that do you really think that corporations are stupid enough to believe that someone is really going to lower taxes?I don't think so

    stupid? nah...copied from your other thread? no i didnt look til after i written what i did here. attempted insults....hold those.

    back to topic. they may be paying higher taxes but from the way shyt looks, gorging is what is happening with most corporations. hey dude, go google me the total amount of corporation that hire ONLY american workers and dont outsource or run sweat shops. let me know how many of the products that american consumers buy, are made by american hands, thus ensuring those that buy the goods are helping keep americans working.
    oh...and instead of trying to insult me, how 'bout creating some worthwhile organization that will bring your googling power to the forefront and these fact you spout to light.
    like what i seen growning up in the 80's, i'd rather pay a little more for good if i knew those things were made in this country, by american workers.

    but here's what protesting normally gets.

    Sure, your first ammendment right's allow you to whine and ***** just like everyone else. Sad truth is, nobody is listening. Americans are sheep and the government is the shephard. We do what they say, we think what they say and we live the way they say to live, but we complain under our breaths but never DO anything.

    The difference between America and the rest of the world is this: In the rest of the world, the government is scared of the people, in America, the people are scared of the government. Our government knows they can get away with damm near anything up to and including: Double and triple taxing, censorship, election rigging and many more. You don't think elections are rigged do you? You think that whoever gets the most votes wins right? Wrong. Electoral college determines the lions share of who wins an election.

    Until Americans stop being led by the short and curlys and rise up against one of the most corrupt governments on the planet, nothing will change and we will continue to be the laughing stock of the entire world.

    Which REALLY pisses me off. It is PRISON. I think the only luxury allowed in a prison should be a library and a rec yard so that you can get educated and stay in shape.

    like i said in the other thread,. we need to hae some one tell the public what is really going on, the truth. and tell them of ****ing stupid america is and the people in it. they need to see reality and quit living in a dream world. but if someone actually did say everything like it needs to be said.. they would be shot.. because there are certain people that do not want to have the public woken up because of various and OBVIOUS reasons...

    but beyond the fact, **** that. poor as lazy mother ****ers who dont have jobs make more money than i do [only because i dont have time to work more---im overloading in school]. now i have to pay the same as you becasue the parents that claim me both make 100k+ combined 250-300k. yeah pretty much taxes are going to ruin me. thank you lazy bitchy liberals.

    ps. dont vote for hillary clinton[stupid liberal ***** is only going to make taxes worse]. im voting for guiliani, that man said he could end illegal immigration.

O btw, AMERICA IS FULL OF SOME OF THE MOST ****ING STUPID PEOPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND THE PEOPLE RUNNING IT ARE EVEN ****ING WORSE." then i would pretty much get shot... lol

    Fair tax..

    Devin, Giuliani is about as crooked as it gets.. the idea here is to elect a candidate that is for the people.. just because you were at ground zero doesn't make you a humanitarian.

    Too much government intervention going on but the only way to fight it is to educate yourselves, question EVERYTHING and elect the proper candidates.

    lol only half of me is. i am almost half Cheerokee Indian. but ot sure on the other half lol. my way of ending it would be to just simply go take over mexico. it would be a hell of alot cheaper in the long run think about it. plus they all wanna come to america, guess what they don't even have to leave there house, cause they would be part of america.
