  1. you need to have people go and arest those caught on camera and we really don't have enough to arrest them all, to much ground to cover. but by putting in bases it would reduce the ground that imigration would need to cover.
  2. yes but there would be a fence with cameras on it.
  3. you are bitching about banker salery and you can afford that house? kinda makes one wonder if you are getting paid to mauch also.
  4. If the banks had done there job you wouldn't have even got the loan, no down payment no loan is what they should have said to you. But you wanted the house so you got it, along with the responsibilty of the contract. Now you have a problem and are mad the banks for charging you to fix your problem. The banks getting tarp money has nothing to do with your problem or charging you for sevices rendered. If you are mad you should be mad at yourself for not continuing you marraige contract. You should be mad at yourself and your lawyer for letting the divorce contract put you in this position. Seems to me that you must be the problem, there are 3 contracts that you entered into (marriage, divorce, and loan)now that you are mad about honoring and looking to others to bame and try to weasel out of. maybe you should read and understand the contracts you enter into, shouldn't be hard I heard you have a MBA or something.
  5. several military bases cover more area that ten miles when you add in the area for testing weapons. the notion of getting blown up would make a couple think twice about crossing. It would make those crossing go to other areas but that would just make those areas easier to patrol.
  6. A thought I had and would like to get some imput on. Why not build 2 or 3 military bases along the border and use the desolate area for training and could double as border protection. then close a few other military bases in other areas that could be developed into something useful?
  7. No, he is not. Bershire-Hallaway is in this dispute. While he is the leader of it, he has a fudiciary duty to the shareholders that trumps any views he may or may not have on paying his share to the government. since he hides most of his earnings in companies like berkshire he is avoiding tax and it is his money.
  8. Trouble is that you make assumptions about my financial status because you assume I'm motivated by jealousy. You don't need to be a billionaire to be in the top 1% of wealth owners in the USA. I made no such assumptions, Oh yes you did. I suppose you think Warren Buffett is also motivated by jealousy since he wants the rich to pay more too. And you wrote of taxes: "Taking is wrong and the last I heard is that taking is theft and that is a crime." How exactly do you think we should pay for raods, schools, police, and the military? The right should stop projecting its selfish motivations on the rest of us. Warren Buffet is not paying the taxes he owes, he is in a court battle for taxes he hasn't paid over some of the last 10 years. why would he care if the taxes are raised? Selfish? the only selfish people I see are those that want to take what isn't theirs, as in the left. they want to keep what they earn and have a cut of what others earned, that is selfish and your education should allow you to understand that.
  9. Trouble is that you make assumptions about my financial status because you assume I'm motivated by jealousy. You don't need to be a billionaire to be in the top 1% of wealth owners in the USA. I made no such assumptions, and I don't care if you are or are not. I am just saying you don't deserve to pay higher or lower tax percentage no matter what level of the scale you are on. I personally feel that a percentage should be set and all people should pay that percentage. If you make $10 or $10 billion you should pay that percentage. What the left doesn't understand is that jealousy is a bad emotion and that is what is tearing this country apart. Instead of trying to take from those that have, people people should be trying to acheive a better life by working harder and smarter. By setting goals for themselves and working towards those goals. sitting around trying to figure out how to take it from someone else is what this country is obsessed with. While people are spending energy trying to take from others they are not contributing to the future of the country, they are sucking the life out of it by draing the recources with not putting anything back into it.
  10. I am actually torn about this proposal. Guys like you keep claiming that the "rich" need to pay their fair share and that a little regulation never hurts anyone. Hate to break it to you.... but a guy like you with a toy car and a private plane.... You are "rich" to many people. And all of us that spend money to jump out of planes for fun have a little bit extra disposable income than most people. This is a fine example of you being good with additional taxes EXCEPT when it comes to the things YOU like. Really? I think the existing tax on aviation fuel is a far more efficient way of financing the system (as do most people who actually THINK about it) and have no problem paying an appropriate amount in proportion to my usage, even if it means fuel tax rates must be raised. Experience in Europe has shown that aviation as a whole suffers when user fees are imposed, with no noticeable improvement in aviation safety. It's not like I'm asking you to pay my fuel taxes, I'm quite happy to pay them myself. Before running off at the keyboard you should do a little research. So you are ok with paying your fair share of fuel taxes, so why are you not ok with paying your fair share of income taxes? False assumption. Find a single post where I have complained about paying income tax. probably can't find 1, but I can find alot that you complain that many need to pay more than you. kinda selfish on your part.
  11. It's not about balancing the budget, it's all about wealth redistribution. The modern day Robin Hood. No, it's about paying a reasonable contribution towards the cost of running the country based on what the country has given them. Oh, ok...so kinda like Indian giving? The dormouse has woken up. Why are you so upset that someone has more than you? The green monster has consumed the left. Why do you think I'm not in the top 1%? Why? because you failed. just like the other 99%. You failed to do what the 1% did to achieve the level of sucsess they have. Just because you and I have failed to achieve what the 1% did does not give us the right to take it from them. Taking it from you, me or the 1% is the same. Taking is wrong and the last I heard is that taking is theft and that is a crime. Try again - what makes you believe that I am not a member of the 1%? I don't care if you are or are not in the 1%, even if you are there I would not raise your burden on the federal spending just because you are in the 1%. What the left can not seem to understand is that I am not jealous of, or sorry for you status in the financial community. All I would hope is that when I see you you say hi to me and lets go enjoy a skydive or a beer.

So you are ok with paying your fair share of fuel taxes, so why are you not ok with paying your fair share of income taxes? You are saying that you have no problem paying the same percentage of fuel tax according to the gallons of fuel you use, shouldn't you pay the same percentage of income tax as the rich people compared to the income you make?

Why are you so upset that someone has more than you? The green monster has consumed the left. What is someones "fair share"? Isn't it fair that you pay "your fair share"? To be fair, all people should pay the same, that would be "fair". Since it is not possible that you can pay your "fair share" because you do not make enough money, the rich have covered most of your "fair share". If I was on the left I would keep my mouth shut and show some apreciation to those that have helped me pay my bills or face the fact that the rich will get fed up with all the whining and stop helping you pay your "fair share". When the rich move all thier money overseas and say fuck the whining people, let them pay ALL their "fare share" what will the left do then?
  15. The hilton hotel charged $16 a head for breakfast per person including tip, breakfast included muffins, cookies, fruit, candy, tea, and coffee.
  16. more expensive? than what? keeping him in jail for up to 60 years? From your favorite news network: www.foxnews.com/us/2010/03/27/just-cost-death-penalty-killer-state-budgets/ They didn't look at the high profile of the case causing the costs to go up. they cost more because of all the media and oposition involved in the case not because they are looking for the death penalty. why house them in seperate cells? save money there also. They also did not add in the cost of housing them until natural death occurs.

  18. But why would we talk about gross missuse of tax/pension money by the left?
  19. Obama is so bad that joe the plummer still has a chance
  20. An excellent example of grade inflation, then. no an excellent job of understanding how liberals think and adjusting to satisfy the liberal teacher to get a good grade.
  21. You got F's in social studies, didn't you? no just B's, but I Got A's in math and business
  22. Not the reference I used ** At least you admit the USA looks bad, so I guess that's progress. USA is still in lousy company, no matter whose source you use. Other countries that we keep company with: Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Nigeria... What lovely people. ** I used Amnesty International Look bad? no I think it is good that we eliminate the worst element of society.
  23. you should have worried about "the company you keep" 3 years ago when it could have made a difference.
  24. The gov should not be building houses they should be governing.
  25. You do like to spin things, except 3.4 tril is not for just those progects. We need to eliminate all gov money for special interest groups, eliminate tax loop holes and lower the tax rates. budget should be about 2.5 tril. There are way to many unneeded programs wasting money. The rich don't mind paying more, they mind paying all.
