		<description>Sure jason as long as they don’t take advantage of any of the services that taxes afford. Like roads, and police and congress and the MILITARY because the rest of us should pay for these leeches so they can pocket all their money. Oh yeah, and when they come back without healthcare and don’t buy insurance because they’re out of a job, I hope &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/latitude-d430.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell latitude d430 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/xps-m1210.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell xps m1210 battery&lt;/a&gt; they won’t be showing up at any emergency rooms looking for care, let the freeloaders die at home.</description>

		<description>A Little History on Irving Kristol and Neo-Conservatismâ€¦
Neoconservatism is a mental illness. It originated from a man named Leo Strauss. Straussianism was brought to America by Bill Kristol&#039;s father Irving.
Straussians believe in two things: (1) The &quot;Noble Lie&quot; and (2) You and I need Kings to make decisions for us because we are too stupid.
Strauss,â€¦believed in the inherent inequality of humanity. Most people, he taught, are too stupid to make informed decisions about their political affairs. Elite philosophers must decide on affairs of state for us. Strauss believed that allowing citizens to govern themselves will lead, inevitably, to terror and tyranny, as the Weimar Republic succumbed to the Nazis in the 1930s.
A ruling elite of political philosophers must make those decisions because it is the only group smart enough. And it must resort to deception â€” Strauss&#039;s &quot;noble lie&quot; â€” to protect citizens from themselves. The elite must hide the truth from the public by writing in code. Using metaphors and cryptic language, philosophers communicated one message for the elite, and another message for &quot;the unsophisticated general population&quot;.
For Strauss, the art of concealment and secrecy was among the greatest legacies.

		<description>I don&#039;t quote Republicans often, but this one makes a lot of sense, and it is in my opinion from the LAST GREAT REPUBLICAN that ever lived. 


&lt;blockquote&gt;â€œThis conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experienceâ€¦we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persistâ€. -- Dwight David Eisenhower, Farewell speech as President (01-17-1961)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Youâ€™re all completely right, ANYTHING Republican bad, ANTYHING Democrat good. Anyone with an opposing point of view idiot, anyone agreeing genius. I especially like the ability to seal an argument with name calling. Worked on the playgroundâ€¦same mentality here.
Comment by jason54301 &lt;/em&gt;

This troll needs to get the message that if it doesn&#039;t like the playground here it is more than free to leave.  We could care less what it thinks about us.  Perhaps it can go over to redstate.com and post about how both political parties are rotten and for sale to the highest bidder.  How long do you think it would last there?  Probably 30 minutes or so.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Even if they DID require a SSN, they are for sale.
Comment by jason54301 &lt;/em&gt;

This idiot troll thinks the government is too stupid to know when someone is using a made up SSN or the SSN of a dead person.  Not likely.

On the other hand, our IRS does ignore the fact that there are thousands of people in this country paying taxes into it&#039;s system who are using SSN&#039;s of dead people.  They don&#039;t do anything about it because they know that it is pure gravy for the US treasury because all those undocumented workers who are working under the SSN of a dead person are never going to be able to get a penny of the money they pay back.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;My understanding is that it led to the current gender imbalance, as many families aborted female fetuses because they wanted a male heir.

It  has  been  found  that  some Chinese families have been  &quot;aborting&quot; females  after they  have been  born,  and then trying again  to get a male child.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;About Chinaâ€™s law, wasnâ€™t that enacted in light of a heavy gender imbalance, where boys far outnumber girls?

My understanding is that it led to the current gender imbalance, as many families aborted female fetuses because they wanted a male heir.  

&lt;i&gt;I would also venture a guess that it leads to fewer abortions.

Fewer abortions, fewer genital mutilations, lower STD rates, education is the wonder drug that works wonders.

Taxes are bad for corporations but employer funded healthcare makes them competitive?  I don&#039;t think so since taxes are only paid on profits but healthcare has to be paid whether they make money or not.</description>

		<description>In study after study, all three of these lead to later marriages, fewer children, lower under-5 mortality rates, and higher household income.

I would also venture a guess that it leads to fewer abortions.</description>

Hey toasterhussein!

Perfectly argued, as usual.

About China&#039;s law, wasn&#039;t that enacted in light of a heavy gender imbalance, where boys far outnumber girls?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;find out just how bad Social Security is for America&lt;/em&gt;

Soc Sec would not be in any trouble if they stopped paying my fcuking grandparents MORE than they ever paid into the system. Plus, they got plenty of dough, they don&#039;t even need the SS benefits.

Either pay us EXACTLY what we pay in, or you don&#039;t get my $$$.

That&#039;s really the ONLY thing that needs to change about Social Security. One simple thing, and it&#039;s solvent again.

WTF????</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;If this story teaches us anything, it is that when the Dems decide to over tax business, they move away from the USA. 

Comment by Roger_Roger â€” March 6, 2008 @ 1:38 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Of course! Why didn&#039;t we see it? The villain here is NOT the huge corporation sucking off the government teat while circumventing tax laws through sham subsidiaries!

See, the Democrats MADE them do all those things.

Because Democrats have been in control of the country and its tax laws for the last seven years. And because the tax burden on corporations has risen so much over that time, the poor corporations are FORCED to move their hiring operations offshore to shield their meager earnings.

Once again, to be clear: KBR is the VICTIM in all this.

Thanks for cluing us in, R2.

... to offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands.  So really what we need to do is close the loopholes that allow corporations to reap the benefits of being a U.S.-based multinational corporation without paying for them.</description>

rr, you don&#039;t even know how to read. the fact that all those companies are moving offshore has very little to do with taxes, and vert much to do with the breaks orchestrated by a corrpt Republican congress and administration. tax breaks have been handed all round, to the richest and least-desering, but htey&#039;re moving anyway. you are a liar and a fool, and y8our party will destroy America to line its pockets.</description>
