for those of you who are too lazy to use copy/paste or too stupid to know how to.

Another thing, his ignorance of the Tax Day Tea Parties was probably the most arrogant move I have ever seen. To totally ignore protests in hundreds of American cities across the country is just insane...maybe it's because the tea parties were largely peaceable and respectful, unlike most left-wing protests where shit gets destroyed and people get hurt. How can you have that many people demonstrating in that many cities on the exact same day and the president has no idea about it? I'm calling bullshit on him, he said he didn't hear about them because he does not want to step into the real world and acknowledge that a good amount of people are unhappy with his policies.

And to the moron who said bush's first 100 days were worse, Obama's approval rating right now is below  what Bush's was after his 100 days. I know approval rating isn't everything, but all you bush bashers constantly referred people to his poll numbers while he was prez.

I don't know how much I can't stand obama, I'm sure I can't stand him a lot, but I have zero tolerance for Geithner and anyone from Obama's cabinet. If there were an olypics for tax cheats, Obama's cabinet would be representing the US for sure.

Last One: Obama had airforce 1 fly very low over NYC the other day for a photo op and had a fighter pilot behind him. In a post 9-11 NYC, I'm sure you can figure out why that is a fucking idiotic move. People in NY were shitting bricks because they thought it was a hijaked plane trying to crash into a building.

Last One: THIS IS GREAT: 72. On Earth Day, Obama took two flights on Air Force One and four on Marine One to get to Iowa, burning more than 9,000 gallons of fuel.

don't forget, for those of you who actually work, that money for fuel comes right out of your paychecks, so does the money from this obscene budget. People who don't pay taxes (which is now half the country) are pumped about the stimulus because they have absolutely no stake in what happens--they aren't paying taxes, none of their money is going into it, yet they are benefitting from it. Lots of people are paying for this bill even though nothing in it will benefit them. They are paying for it but getting nothing in return. How is that OK?

Definitely agree with that point.

I pay hundreds every month in taxes, and someone else is getting a $300 check for it because they don't have a job.  I feel robbed.  I work hard, and pay the lazy?  Not everyone who lives on the welfare of the nation is lazy of course, but I highly doubt there is much accountability in the system.  Many members of my family are perfect examples of people who simply exist on welfare and don't pay taxes or look for work.  It's ridiculous.

I feel you man, I live in Mass where there is a ridiculous state income tax. With federal income tax levels rising, I'm going to be getting half a paycheck. I don't even care about myself, my family could potentially get raped here as well. My parents own a small business and his small business tax plan could prove to be ruinous. This is how extremely hard work is rewarded--those of us who actually work and exert some form of agency in our own lives are taxed and forced to pay the way for people who don't. The War on Achievement, under Obama, you are evil for making money, so they are taking it all away from you to benefit the people us "greedy" money makers "oppress." bullshit

His logic is that (quote for realz) "spreading the wealth around" will put money into the hand of the consumer, who will give it back to you!  I would rather get the money I earn in the first place.

I don't hate Obama, but that specific philosophy pisses me off.  Other than that, I'm still watching to see what happens.

i did it to some kid in a kendo black belt rank test...  he charged forward, i did a throat strike, smacked his head on the gym floor pretty good and he had to get dragged out by EMTs...  i passed though.


ugh...  and whoever that said Obama being elected makes us look good to the rest of the world.  yeah, thats great.  but i dont really care how we LOOK to the rest of the world what i care about is how we survive here, in this country..  im sorry Canada, Japan, and whatever other countries people on NS are from....  i dont give a shit how we look to the rest of the world, i just want to be able to survive and with this tax plan, im scared.

my extended family is the same. its crazy how people who  had the same up bringing.. then a couple end up in the "wealthy" and more than 2 end up collecting welfare checks from the rest of us. some made good choices, some worked harder, were more innovative, and they all had the same level of education.

i feel u too, my dad is a part owner in a small business, and my mom just cuts hair and stuff from our house. I am in college and so is my older sister, and i have a younger sister who will be entering college within the next four years. I am fortunate enough for my parents to make enough money working, and then had to sell a house they first lived in to help pay for my siblings and my schooling. But i live in NJ, and the taxes here are insane, i can no longer attend the university i go to, because of what is going on. My school is expensive somewhere around 43g's i have a 12g scholarship, but between my school and my sisters my parents told me they can no longer afford it. So no i have to transfer to an in state school, I have no problem with this because it will give me a chance to work and make some money while i go to school to help pay for grad school. I just feel bad for my father who has worked so hard and now alot of that will be taken away from him and given to ppl who dont deserve it. And by no means is my family rich, like i said i am fortunate for my parents to pay for school, and i plan on paying them back in the future. This whole tax thing just really pisses me off, and the whole "spreading the wealth" sry for the rant

there are hundreds and thousands of people out there in the same situation. This is destroying the middle class. America was built on the backs of its middle class. I feel so terribly for the country right now. People who really work hard to support their families are being taxed to death. The mentality of hate people have in regards to people who make money is sickening, I can't stand it. Keep at it though man, I respect you for standing up my friend. We need to elect responsible people in the mid term elections and again in 2012-take back your country before the government bleeds you dry.

u said it all, its just everytime my dad comes to pick me up from school its like a 2 hour drive, and all he talks about to me is how fucked up the whole situation is, and i hate seeing him like this, hes always in a bad mood all the time, and i wanna help him out somehow, but i really dont know what i can do or if i could do anything, like yeah i have a job in the summer, and then once i communte next year to school ill be working at a ski shop for a good 8 months, but i wont make nearly enough to support myself completely which i would like to do. Just sucks, it just fuckin pisses me off sooo much that people that dont contribute to the workforce at all get a fucin check from the people to work. Fuckin deport all the illegals and make the ppl collecting welfare take their jobs

yeah, and Obama's ridiculous desires to grant amnesty to illegals is fucking insane. When the country is suffering, he wants to allow people into the country who will work for cheap money. With them here, how many AMERICANS do you think will be employed. The guy doesn't give a shit about the country or its people. He's an empty suit

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH first of all that quote you took was from an article by glenn beck among others. the one about him not knowing they were going on. i have no doubt that wast taken out of context. right, the president of the united states didnt know about the tea parties. think before you talk


liberal protesters are more violent? go choke on a dick. thats the biggest load of bullshit ive ever heard



of course he didnt respond to the tea parties, it was a bunch of morons screaming Obamas a fascist, and that its taxation without representation. its a bunch of grumpy ignorant old white people whe are too dumb to know what the original tea party was about, and buy into the fear mongering and bullshit spouted by glenn beck, sean hannity, rush limbaugh etc. there was no credibility to their protests whatsoever. for fucks sake most of the people there ARE GETTING TAX BREAKS. its the same douchebags that were all over palins proverbial knob, and though barack was the evil muslim terrorist.

honestly, think before you speak


now im out since this thread has become a conservative circle jerk. make sure you clean up afterwards.

haha I was waiting for you to show up, but your opinion on the demographic of the tea parties is vastly incorrect. And I'm not saying liberal protesters are more violent, but liberal-agenda protests tend to amount to massive amounts of garbage and broken shit with hateful messages like Bush=Nazi and Israel=Nazi. You need to actually look into the situation before shitting on it. These tea parties were basically family affairs, the only shit that went down was a fucking CNN bitch reporter going nuts on the protestors in a totally unprofessional and generally bitchy ass manner. Look into it.

i did. first of all, part of the reason liberal protests appear to get more violent, is because the police show up and start shit. your gonna call me a liberal screaming fuck the man, but its true. look at what happened at the RNC. i really dont think the hateful messages is true either. there were plenty of people at the tea parties calling obama a fascist, hitler, etc.

but for the most part cnn covered it fairly decently i thought. they gave it some coverage, and moved on. it beat the shit out of Fox egging them on, or MSNBC making scrotum jokes. honestly most of the people i saw interviewed by ANY network appeared to have no idea what they were talking about, they were just jumping on the no tax bandwagon, and doing the exact things they criticize liberals for doing. kids as props, celebrities, etc.

thats quite a personal question to ask, and im not gunna answer it, but listen to this, my sisters school is in the area of 28g's,my school would cost 43gs next year, with my scholarship it would cost 31g's, combined the two together and you get 59g's a year just for school. And i was refering to not only my family but others also. And who r u to say my father can afford it? I think my family is paying somewhere between 60-80g's in taxes this year.

my dad is a bit over 100 grand. not even in the highest tax bracket. yet he can afford to send me, and my brother to school no problem. im not trying to claim, or accuse you of anything, but honestly with smart spending habits you should be able to do just fine. if your making considerably less than that, well, obama will actually benifit you, if your making more than that, well, your losing a lot of money somewhere, and i doubt its taxes. esp since if your struggling right now, you arent even under obamas taxes yet. hes been president for what, 3 months?

my dad is looking into the future because he also has to send my younger sister to school soon, my dad is the cheapest guy i know, does everything himself, if he can do it he wont pay someone to do it for him. One of the smartest spenders ive ever met, he gets it from his father who was exactly the same way. 59g's for school this year combined with 80g's in taxes thats a shit load of money.
