Knowing someone's essentially the main reason I got my current gig. That & the fact that the 30+ UI developers we have somehow can't even write one DB query competently. Why grab 10 clients at once when you could grab one client ten times?

Can someone dig up the quote where Barack Asshole said he'd never impose a tax on peeps making (changing dollar amount) per year?

If it's to replace the Income Tax, then that's not a bad idea IMO.

2 people voted correctly in the poll.
Obama = Carter.
The bad part is I think he wants to trump Carter as the worst president ever.

I saw absolutely nothing in that article that suggested eliminating the income tax.

"If, at the end of the day, we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes," he said.
He also said that Congress might also have to consider new taxes on carbon and energy.
I just waiting for the, "Why don't we just print more money," argument.

He's getting close. But he's still got a bit to go. When I'm waiting in line for an hour or two to buy gas at the pump, we'll talk.

Wasn't that a direct result of price caps on gasoline?
They've already passed price caps on medical procedures, haven't they? That will be the gas-shortage equivalent.

You do understand correlations, right?
Yes, just saying it isn't just intelligence.
But thanks to the Supreme Court, it's illegal to use IQ tests to screen employees. So you find something that's correlated.

This liar says he wants higher taxes, and thinks everyone else should, too.

Yes, and Volcker was/is a pox on us all due to those exact two people.

Hey dumbasses, guess what? The government ALREADY ACCEPTS ALL DONATIONS.
Send all you want!

Instead of sending extra money to the bureaucracy... buy another boat. Give your landscaper a raise. Anything.

I'm pretty sure if they write a big fat check to the government it won't be turned down. Until they've done that themselves they can shut the fuck up about making other people do it.

The only reason I don't take that chart at face value is that I don't think the man is intelligent or experienced enough to be that devious.

The idiots actually canceled their own health insurance when they passed the Bill.

And there's no doubt in my mind they will ignore the new law in order to get "theirs." Which is not an optional for us regular people, of course.

Your transparent government at work.
The only part of the summit, other than a post-meeting news conference, that was visible to the public was Obama's eight-minute opening statement, which ended with the words: "I'm going to ask that we take a few moments to allow the press to exit before our first session."
Yep. Those CSPAN cameras must just be invisible.

I'm OK with this. Doctors need more competition.
