I think that only people who are rich pay a high amount in taxes anyway. And well they should, they can afford it.

I don't really care about it, since my tax bill doesn't seem to be bad. Last year I payed 0 and got back 0 (it was kinda weird to see my tax return say I made no money), but this was because I was deployed to a combat zone in 2006 (I'm in the army national guard) so the money I made was tax free.

But when I'm home, I usually get back $300-500 from my return. Taxes don't hurt me, except when I have to do that annoying paperwork.

I always hear republicans argue perpetually that taxes should be lower. Lower for whom? For the rich who can afford more and won't miss that money? Why don't we just not pay taxes at all, then?

It seems to me that Republicans are the party of people making high incomes.

Just got a text from the BBC News service telling me so.

AND I KNOW this isn't a question, but some people are interested.

I live in an old farmhouse, and there aren't many windows. The ones that we have are in bad spots. So there's not much natural light in my house and it feels gloomy.

Our living room has three white walls and one fake-wood-paneled wall.

Will just painting the living room make it brighter and less gloomy?

And are there maybe lighting tricks or something that i don't know about?!

Zachary Taylor (110.8), Andrew Johnson (110.8), Andrew Jackson (110.0), Ulysses S. Grant (110.0), James Monroe (109.0), and Warren Harding (107.8) are all estimated to have had lower IQs than Bush II (111.1). Two of these guys, Monroe and Jackson, are even considered to have been excellent presidents. Of course this suggests that Jackson's and Monroe's IQs may have been somewhat underestimated by presidential scholars.

Bush II's IQ compares favorably with that of James Buchanan (111.9), the previous unanimous choice for "Worst President in US History".

(King Hezekiah) would die soon. Then Hezekiah repented & God granted him another 15 years to live. But Isaiah's initial prediction didn't come to pass.

So? His Isaiah's initial predictions didn't come to pass, so did Isaiah hear from the Lord?

He was in for 3 years he was caught transporting weed and coke. He does not do drugs and was not selling them either--he needed money and he chose the wrong way of going about it. He has 3 kids --the mother is not in the picture--his mother has custody because he just got out of prison--he lives with his mother and is taking care of his children. He has a stable honest job now. He knows what he did was stupid--and has learned from his mistakes. My ex husband does not want our child around him. My child spent some time with him and his kids before my ex put his foot down. My child really cliked with him amd his children. I know that it will take some time for him to earn people trust back because of what he did. Everyone makes stupid mistakes. I don't feel he is any harm to me or my child.

regarding setting up a Palestinian state in the West Bank? This goes against all of God's teaching. The wrath of God will then come down upon us. We need a president with backbone, one like Ronald Reagan. He knew about helping Israel. We need to remember Israel as the chosen nation of God and do all to help them.

How much different ( better or worse ) would Dale Jr's life be today if he was dealing with his biological mother instead of his stepmother?
Him and his sister Kelley's mother was Dale Sr's second wife, Brenda Gee, daughter of a well know Nascar car builder Robert Gee.
I just think dealing with your real mother would be easier!
