		<description>&quot;What&#039;s to prevent every righ guy from leaving Obummer high &amp; dry?&quot;

You&#039;re forgetting the Iron Curtain. Perhaps Obama is leaving that for his second term. Imagine the reasoning.

&quot;The rich made their money here. We&#039;re not just gonna let them walk out.&quot;

The possibilities boggle the mind.</description>

		<description>But given that the pay czar will slash the &quot;excessive&quot; salaries of CEOs and other executives, who will the &quot;rich&quot; be?

Oh...

The middle class...</description>

		<description>Pardon me, but when did I wind up in DC Comics Bizzaroworld?  Prices are too high on drugs, so we’re going to tax the drug companies.  Prices are too high on insurance, so we’re going to tax the insurance companies.  Prices are too high on medical devices so we’re going to tax the device industry.   And so on and so forth.

Seems as if the Dems are using most of the Seven Deadly Sins as a basis for their health reform plans.  Envy/Greed: “look at those rich people over there, we should take their money, for you and the children of course.”  Pride: “Look at all the good we are doing the country”  Sloth: “and you won’t have to do a thing to get this great health care, the Government will take care of it all”  Gluttony: “Fat people are the cause of all our health care woes, all we need to do is tax them (not you maam, the tubbo behind you) and it will cure our problems” Wrath: “Evil Republican racist sexist homophobes doth stand in our way, speaking great lies about our plans, because they want you to die!  Go forth and smite them!”

Only one missing is Lust, and that will probably have to wait until they find a replacement for Sen. Kennedy.</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t we take all money from all millionaires to give to the poor, and the Washington based program administrators. We can start with the members of Congress.</description>

		<description>She also no doubt got a nice little tax deduction out of it for &quot;donating&quot; her house to be use as a lab. No liberal in the Bay Area does anything out of the goodness of his or her heart.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see:  The Caribbean islands, Mexico, all of Central America, many in South America, most in the former Soviet Union--countries which would be more than happy to have every wealthy retired person in America and every wealthy businessman willing to move his company, as new citizens.  What&#039;s to prevent every rich guy and gal from leaving Obummer high and dry with no one left to fund all his programs?  Who&#039;d be left?  Oh, yeah, Michael Moore.

Man, if I had the money I would be so outta here.</description>

		<description>Give or take a few million in net worth:

  The Pelosi&#039;s = $450 million
  The Kerry&#039;s = $165 million
  The Lautenberg&#039;s = $130 million
  The Soro&#039;s = $9 Billyone

Do I need to go on? As John Kemp used to say, &quot;let me let you in on a little secret. The rich already have money &amp; they&#039;re rich because they know how to hold onto it.&quot; Pelosi et al pay somewhere around $400-800 AN HR for tax attorneys who will shield they&#039;re income while they reach down into the pocket of who THEY SAY ARE RICH. 

Yup, that be us folks. Like I said before, we went to war with Britain over much less.</description>

		<description>&quot;When it comes to paying for a health care overhaul, Americans see just one way to go: Tax the rich.&quot;

Well then .. I wonder if Oprah, Demi and her boy toy, most of Hollywierd, the majority of the sports folks, the criminals working/worked at Fanny &amp; Freddy, etc, etc, etc got the dem memo.</description>

		<description>At first, she offered her home to her Canada College space-planning classmates, to be used as a hands-on experience for beginning designers. Killoran gathered those ideas, which were presented in class, then set to work melding contemporary solutions to a turn-of-the-last-century home.

How much do you suppose her and her husband saved by not hiring a professional designer?
She could have helped save a job.
Sounds like she owes her classmates payment for designing her kitchen!
Somehow I doubt that she&#039;ll see the light and offer to pay her classmates though, liberals like to rob from the poor and give to the rich.</description>

		<description>-“You know, I mean, why not? If they have that much money, it should be taxed&quot;- It is not fair - the only truly fair thing tax wise would be - a flat tax -every single person pays the exact same rate no matter how little nor how much they make.  No IRS, no loopholes, no deductions, no gazillion pages/forms and Rangel, Geithner et al would be facing (and paying) the piper just as you and I would.

Bill - You did not go all Joe the Plumber on her - you simply did what any decent reporter/journalist should do - investigate, connect the dots and expose for the public news consumption the lies and distortions. You did not invade her private records via a public official.

And yes in NY and CA - the cost of what I live in - would be huge beside the amount we paid (and that I consider extortion already) - and in CA (I have too many friends out there) it is taken as normal  - and they see themselves as just struggling middle America - my a**.</description>

		<description>At least one poll has 40% of physicians saying they will retire if faced with ObamyPelosCare.

That number is probably high.  What will they do?  Flip burgers?

But still, many will retire, probably a majority of those in their mid 50&#039;s and older.

That will be nothing short of a national calamity.  Many times worse than 9/11 or Katrina, or the new national calamity....profits.

Liberalism, of course, holds that doctors have no special skills.  Nobody does.  It&#039;s all a just a matter of opportunity and training.

We will backfill the ranks of doctors with Acorn staffers who will have finally been given the opportunities they deserve.</description>

		<description>Goody. There goes my father&#039;s private business. It makes over $250,000 per year but make no mistake, he is middle class and a big chunk of earnings go to support 6 wonderful employees. These taxes will hit him and the staff hard. 

And by the way - he&#039;s a doctor and has promised to retire his practice if the country turns to socialized health care. As have many practitioners. 

Isn&#039;t universal health care splendid for all? 

I am tired of liberals expecting massive financial support from people making above a certain bracket of income each year. Who has the right to steal the earnings of one man and redistribute it to another, save for necessary government functions? 

There is apparently no excuse for success and it must be punished.</description>

		<description>The coming inflation will do four things the facists find useful:

- It&#039;s a massive tax.  They won&#039;t call it so, but it will be a crushing tax on people with fixed income.
- The economy will be wrecked.  Inflation destroyed the Weimer Republic and many other countries.
- When the economy is destroyed, our military power will collapse and we will become one of the 7 dwarfs.
- Then the Constitution can be shredded to complete the coup and consolidate total power in the fascist&#039;s hands..

After that, they can do the normal Politburo things.  Purges, total wealth siezure, thought control, secret police, etc.

And oh yes, they can live like the emperors they crave to be, with confidence that no one on earth can depose them.</description>

		<description>Perhaps I&#039;m crazy but I was wondering if the forced inflation created by this Administration in the name of &quot;stimulus&quot; is related to their mantra of tax the rich. When wages are readjusted for inflation people get paid more money but that money is worth less. Are these $250K numbers static? How long of this inflation rate until $250k is a standard middle America income?</description>

		<description>Envy is the most powerful emotion of all.

Lust, obviously, is more intense.  But it is transient, and easily satisfied.  Even teenagers know how to do it.

Love is powerful, but the natural course of life inevitably dimishes its power as the lover gradually learns more disheartening details about the object of his affection.

Hate is also intense, but again, one eventually learns that the hated object has sides that are not so hateful.

But envy never goes away. Perhaps the envied party has other attributes, but the reason for the envy remains. Once stoked to a fever pitch, nothing can satiate envy, because there is always someone else who has something else the envious craves.  Always.

And nobody is better at stoking the flame than the fascists.  Envy is the cornerstone of their strategy of absolute power.

And the facists themselves are the real beneficiaries of the passiion.</description>
