Brake pads are a bit high but their labor rights are low. Seems like you got a fair deal. www.FourWheelerHB.com

You do realize they are taxed on 20% of their sales right? When did it go up? It used to be 8%. You're right. 20% of liquor sales is taxed. Remember that if you're buying a lot of liquor. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Obama and the attempt to destroy the Second Amendment
downwardspiral replied to piper17's topic in Speakers Corner
That isn't working. Didn't you get the memo? It's funny that I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. But yeah....I wonder how long it will be before Obama attempts to make CA gun laws national. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
I figured you needed a new hub assembly rather than just a wheel bearing at $450 installed. Likely they also removed your brake rotors and turned them rather than just install new pads. It takes time to remove the rotors, turn them and replace. So no you did not get ripped off. www.FourWheelerHB.com

new hub is $200+ www.FourWheelerHB.com

Fantastic series I've read the first 4 (game, xenocite, speaker, children) 5 or 6 times. I read Enders Game when I was in highschool. A fantastic book. Hated the ending though. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Taxes are evil? Something is needed to run this country. Sure McCain can bring up Ireland and their Celtic Tiger & their low corporate tax (which I would like to hear him talk in depth on the 10+ years of history behind that growth and all it's details, but I doubt its more than a talking point to him), but he doesn't mention their VAT and that we have a lower personal income tax. Now we could lower the business tax rate if we closed loopholes that allow you to show a loss despite a record profit year and raised our personal income tax. You can't have it both ways, something has to give. Obama is proposing raising the personal tax rate on the rich to Reagan levels and closing lots of business loopholes. Once the economy stabilized he could then decrease the business tax rate a few points and we'd suffer no ill effects. It's just a question of the American Dream vs. How Much is Too Much. I'd argue that if you make more than $3mil taxable income a year, you can afford to pay a few hundred grand more a year. Because really, how much is too much? I'd argue that if a business is making more than, say, $10mil a year in profits, they can have some loopholes closed to pay more of that to the government for services to our country than to their shareholders. I think that's ok. Most of you, and most of the world, will never have a million dollars. The amount is so large to the average person it's literally staggering and beyond the threshold of reality. A million dollars would give you $50,000 a year in pre-tax interest earnings, in theory. That's more than a lot of people make at their normal jobs working 40 hrs a week. McCain is trying to harp on the point that Obama is taxing the small businesses and killing jobs, but it's total bullshit. The only businesses that would pay more are the profitable ones, and if it means they can offer good health insurance to their employees for less, it's actually a pretty huge net savings. Stop feeling bad for the rich because they might have to cough up a few hundred grand more so your kids can go to college for cheaper, have health care, and some day retire and send their own kids to college. I would just like to point out I brought up several points. Mostly about taxes and one very smart assed but quick remark about Ayers and what has been the focus here? If a politician want's to raise taxes I'm fine with that. Just fucking say,"I'm raising taxes." As soon as Obama said those making less than $250k per year would not see an increase in taxes I knew it was a lie. That's the democrats MO. Tax the rich? No....tax everybody. And I'm all for paying our way until spending is under control so we can see a decrease in taxes. However a Democrat controlled governmet ill not do that. They'll simply spend what they have until it's time to increase taxes again. www.FourWheelerHB.com

When have I ever said anything about the connection between McCain and Liddy bill? McCain's and Liddy's connection is another reason not to like McCain. And Liddy is as sleezy as Ayers. You know what? You're right. Obama and McCain are both fucking sleezy. I'm not voting for either one of them. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Oh I heard EXACTLY what Obama said and know exactly what he means. The irony is he wants the little guy to have a chance yet he voted to allow the tax cuts to expire. hmmmm. Doesn't he have a record of voting for raising taxes for all groups? I see right through Obama. Oh and Kallend. Ayers at one time said to kill the rich and kill your parents. His wife exclaimed,"Dig it!" regarding the Manson murders. Ayers and co. deliberatly targeted an Army officers' ball with a nail bomb. The saddness does not lie in downplaying Obama's connection to Ayers. I honestly think it's a personal matter whether one views their association as a negative or a nuetral....it certainly is not a positive. However to say Ayers is innocent due to not being convicted is pathetic and only shows Obama could be the devil incarnate himself and still garner your support. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Actually I believe there was a discussion about Obama's desire to redistribute wealth which in turn turned into an attack on Joe the plumber. I guess Palin's pregnant daughter is worthy of criticism yet Ayers is perfectly innocent for never having been convicted. Also most recently someone brought up Obama raising taxes for people making $42k or more annually by way of allowing the tax cuts to expire. So much for no tax raises for anyone making less than $250k. I don't have a doubt in my mind Obama is going to win and he'll certainly make history in one way or another. Let's hope he does something good for the country for once. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I don't get it either. Here we have a candidate with very limited experience, no accomplishments as a politician, and associations with extremists...yet people are going to vote for him because he's not a Republican. www.FourWheelerHB.com

The Rise of the United Socialist States of America (USSA)
downwardspiral replied to MikeForsythe's topic in Speakers Corner
Why? (should we all read it?) Curious as to your reasons. (Disclosure: I haven't read the book but have heard the author speak and am familiar with his arguments.) VR/Marg Just seems like an interesting read on one author's perception of the coming future world. I know little beyond reading the page I linked. If you have any light to shed that would be awesome. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
Oh I gotta hear this....and how exactly would that be untruthful? www.FourWheelerHB.com

The question should have never been asked. Newt Gingrich, and his rabid Republican colleagues, caused alot of damage to our country. I agree the question should have never been asked but he should man'd up and said," Look...Miss Lewinski is a delightful young lady and I was having a weak moment when she came on to me....and then I on her. Oh and the cigar wasn't cuban either. But I did inhale....wink wink" www.FourWheelerHB.com
