And who should be apointed to decide how much too much is?

Recommended Posts

Pirana -

I decide how much
Give that excess to me - if unsure, round up to be safe
I will ensure it goes to a 'fair' cause

thanks for asking, glad I could clear it up for you

rehmwa - Don't be ridiculous. I am forming a committee. We'll publish the complex guidelines eventually. Meanwhile, there will be fact-finding missions to fun places to SCUBA, hang glide, skydive and such.

I'll get back to you. For now, just send money so I can conduct this very important work.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

It's interesting that the head of the US government talks about at some point making enough money. Meanwhile, the government can run yearly deficits higher that the market capitalization of Walmart.

Also amazing if that the Federal Government can bring in $3 trillion per year in revenue - and it's not enough. Seemingly all people on the left favor raising taxes to increase revenues. They don't say, "at some point doesn't the government make enough?"

Nope. No way. The government can bring in each year what the top ten of the Forbes 500 are worth and it's not enough. Which of you lefties will say, "I think the government, with trillions in revenues, makes enough?"

Libs will say the gov't makes enough when it has solved all the social problems.

So, it will never make enough
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I guess in the US, I would be considered on the "left". I have stated before that I don't see a way out of this for the US other then to get expenses below revenues.

Really doens't matter how you do it, but history would dictate that spending cuts alone will not do it. There just will never be enough political will to cut that much. Hence, the only road leading out of this mess I see is to raise taxes........and cut spending.

Scary shit huh
And then, those on the left say we are moving right and becoming radical. when if looked at properly all should realize the only reason the right looks radical is because of how far left they have moved.

That said, I dont think the political right to be much better than the politcal left

Sad they don't realize even an unlimited supply of money can't stop all social problems and ironically could make them much worse.

yeah.... I don't see how the rest of that changes the meaning much.



So why did they clip it?

I thought it changed the meaning significantly, which is exactly why they DID clip it.

No, time is very valuable, so quotes are routinely limited to the minimum.

The context is not changed whether is was clipped or not.

But since Kallend can't dispute what was said, or how it was said-he must whine about the editing. It's his nature, pat him on the head and walk away.

It changed the context, which clearly is why it was snipped.

IDENTICAL to the tactic used on Pelosi a few weeks back.

We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money, but you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or you’re providing a good service.

He says at some point HE thinks a person has made enough money. How much is that, EXACTLY? Should everybody live by the amount he personally thinks is enough?

To me, the rest of his comment made it clear that his opinion is counter to how the system works. How many people here disagree with how the system works? You like taxes? Laws about drugs? Gun laws? Speeding laws?

So the context made all the difference -- it says "that's my opinion, and it's counter to the way things work in America" instead of "that's my opinion and it's going to be enacted into law." Now that's a big difference.

Were he just a private citizen I'd agree.

That's a scary opinion of capitalism for the most powerful person in the free world to have. :o:S[:/]

Your excuses for bad behavior are getting lamer and lamer. Clearly you know in your heart that it was a hack job to change the meaning (otherwise there was no point in making the hack) but can't bring yourself to admit it.

Oh yes, bandwidth on Realclear is SO restrictive their clips are limited to 30 seconds (oh wait, they're NOT:o). That must also be why they clipped the preamble and the applause (oh, wait, they DIDN'T clip that either:o).

LAME-O excuse.:P

look

I totally get that you think the meaning context was changed. And maybe some fucknut actually was trying to change the meaning by editing it the way he did.

But I still don't think the meaning changed. What was edited, to me, was a backpedal.

To you it changed the meaning context and that's fine. I, unlike you, won't pretend to think I know what you "know in your heart".


Have you decided if it changed the meaning or the context yet? Or are you backpedaling too now?
