That is why we need a FairTax system not a income system.

You don't know how to use "the google"?

First, you place your little arrow in the Google space bar. Then you type in the words of what you are trying to find...

Ya know those brainiac types kinda look down their noses at us average folks, especially if we're not their kind. :D Ya gotta learn to chum, to get them to rise to the bait. :laugh:

you gotta be careful with that google thingy,

one time i was trying to locate an old friend, so i typed in hippie chick and big hair, like how many of those can there be out there?

you'll never guess what all popped up, pretty sure it wasn't her, couldn't really tell though, hard to see the faces, things have never been the same between us since.

tip: don't try this on a work computer.

I thought he didn't like the Bush tax cuts, so why does he take them? I thought he wanted to eliminate deductions to charities, so why does he take them? He's not a big fan of leadership by example, is he? He should have paid the amount of taxes he thinks every "rich" American should pay under his tax plan. This is yet another missed opportunity by the President to demonstrate his leadership.

James, I'm really glad I saw this because the one that stuck out to me was another one showing AGI - $5,505,409 and the huge business write offs.

So I thought he's using the Presidential Office for 'Private Business' and putting his Interests over the Interests of the People. So I came in this morning anxious to see the Details. THIS I can handle and in fact this all the more saves his ass. If it had been what I suspected then I would have all the more shown how he was NOT fit to serve.

BTW -- I could care less who you are -- (Chenny for instance) -- there are LINES you do not cross.
