The second Obama term
I'll listen to gun control laws for citizens only after they're applied (in order) to the federal, state, city, and county officials. They're just as likely to snap, misuse their weapons, and kill people.

Very good video. Compares the US's violent crime rate with the UK's. Also, there's a nice finishing statement and stat that kind of shits on the entire gun control argument.

“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
"Assault Weapons" are the problem.
Not people. Not mental health. Not our society. Not our leaders. Not how we secure our schools or any public place where people gather. Not our culture. Not poverty.
Take away all assault weapons and we'll never have another mass shooting.

This could also go in the California Deathwatch thread, but since they mention the federal tax hikes, and since this stems from Dem policies...
Phil Mickelson hints at big changes
This is really interesting because Phil is a multimillionaire, an employer, and is famous. He's not hiding the fact that these insane taxes are going to force his hand and he'll be making some changes.
It appears that one of those changes will be to move away from California.
If your tax rate is 62 or 63 percent like Phil is saying, why live in California? You can get the same weather elsewhere and pay less in taxes. Florida doesn't have state taxes...

SocSec + Medicare = 15.5%
Highest Marginal tax = 39.6% (above $400k)
California Marginal tax = 10.3% (above $1M)
Although, SocSec caps out at $110k, so then that drops to 2.5%... so I think he's looking at "only" 52.4% on his income above $1 Million.
Although, he employees people, paying for his caddy (and others?) so maybe he's incorporating that.

It's not me, it's someone else.
There is no such thing as a left wing bias in the main stream media...

BBC and Church of England worship Obama
The anthem has been specially written for this service, to coincide with President Obama’s second inauguration. It’s called ‘Learning to Dream Again.’
