Income taxes are more progressive under Bush than they were under Clinton!!!

2000: Top 1% earned 17.8% of national income, and paid 36.5% of income taxes. The bottom 80% earned 45.7% of national income and paid 18.7% of income taxes.

Now fast forward.

2004: Top 1% earned 16.3% and paid 36.7%. The bottom 80% earned 47.3% and paid 14.7%.

For a quick recap for those who couldn't keep up, "the rich" are earning a smaller share of national income, yet paying more in taxes, whereas "the poor" (the bottom 80%) are earning a larger share of national income, yet paying a smaller share of taxes.

Anyone who argues that Bush's tax cuts helped only the rich have absolutely zero credibility.

How could anyone think that way in the face of overwhelming evidence, and even deny that the Iranian President said these things?

Because besides the 21 killed, and additional 20 were wounded. If ten more of them die, would that be enough to consider banning the sale of Automatic rifles and machine guns in America?

How about 50 more? Do we need to have a school shooting every week before you gun nuts realize that not all people should be trusted to own an Assault rifle?

About a month ago I was sharing a house with this lady. She moved a bunch of stuff into the garage that she didnt want. I was moving out and into a new house with a friend, and we decided to grab some of the stuff she DIDNT WANT since she was getting rid of it anyways. I guess she noticed, so i just came clean and took all the blame bc my friend (x friend now) told me she had a warrant out and would go to jail if she said she had anything to do with it. SO i got a ticket for stealing and I have court may 3rd. Im only 18. I understand what I did was wrong but the lady got all her stuff back and i apologized...woo woo woo. I dont know if its the same everywhere, but when people get charged the court puts it in the paper for EVERYONE to see. My parents and family are going to end up seeing it, so I guess Im going to tell them soon. BUT- someone told me that if the lady who filed the police report doesnt show up to my court date that the charges will be dropped. This doesnt sound right to

USAF 1991-1999, and I'm a liberal.

If you served.........A BIG THANK YOU! No matter what your party affiliation!

If your an adult male that loves endless war, but didn't serve, your a chickenhawk....and you should be treated as such.

Who in their right mind tries to blame this on Republicans or Democrats when we don't even know why it happened or who did it ?????

There are NUTS, CRAZIES, and WACK-JOBS out there and NONE of them represent either the Democrats or Republicans

I , for one, will not answer any question that intimates responsibility and blame towards any party !!
And I suggest you do the same !!

What is your opinion ?

I keep hearing how he's picked on Imus but has said nothing about offensive Rap lyrics. Thus, making him a racist for just picking on a white guy.

WHEN IN FACT, he has been speaking out against the violence and sexism in the Rap industry for years.

PLEASE READ THE LINKS BELOW BEFORE YOU RESPOND!

How come the white press never mentions his efforts at cleaning up rap these days? Seems that NOBODY has bought up his past protests against the rap industry. I wonder why. Seems like they only want to cover Cosby when he does something good.

I suppose it's just much easier to be a bigot and hate the man instead of getting the FACTS straight about him!

He misquoted a study by the Max Planck Institute about solar activity - falsely claiming it said the sun was the cause of global warming.

LIMBAUGH: "The Truth About Global Warming. Global warming has finally been explained: the earth is getting hotter because the sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research."

http://mediamatters.org/items/200509230005

In fact the Max Planck Institute said "researchers at the MPS have shown that the Sun can be responsible for, at most, only a small part of the warming over the last 20-30 years" and, "the Earth's temperature has risen dramatically in the last 30 years while the solar brightness has not appreciably increased in this time"

In my estimation there exactly 0 religions that are any more believable than the other. They are all nonsensical and should be wiped from the planet. Strong views for a weak topic.
