Remember that those people who make the most in this life are reliant on the most .
Its the roads we all pay for they use to ship products .Its the shopping malls that need waste water run off systems and waste water treatment . Its our entire infrastructure that supports businesses .
Today they choose to run out on us taking the Jobs where new offices and factories are cheaper to build and the jobs they want us for is building vacation homes and serving them dinners in 5 star eatery's, washing their laundry and cars and clipping hedges and mowing lawns .
Nursing them back to health and working for them for the lowest wages possible based on the number of available workers willing to do the job correctly .
I do not feel bad about taxing others at a higher rate then the vast majority of people .
Billionaires will not lose sleep and their kids will not skip a meal or miss out on dental care If we tax them more .
You think people would stop because you tax them more .LOL

I would agree with this statement if it was a hundred years ago. If this were true abortion would be illegal, no rated R movies or porn, no explicit lyrics in music, no sex education in schools, being gay would be a crime. and this lists could go on and on. Each generation becomes more liberal in their beliefs as a whole. I am not a religious person and do not see this.

Do people, anywhere in the world, have a right to enter the United States irrespective of our laws pertaining to immigration? Do people, anywhere in the world, have a right to enter the United States irrespective of our laws pertaining to immigration? Unless one wishes to obfuscate, there's a simple "yes" or "no" answer to that question. If a "yes" answer is given, then why should there be any immigration requirements, such as visas, passports and green cards, for anyone who wishes to visit or reside in our country? Why not abolish the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services?

If your answer is "no," one does not have a right to enter the U.S. irrespective of our laws, what does that make a person who does so? Most often we call a person whose behavior violates a law a criminal. If people commit criminal acts, should there be an effort to apprehend and punish them?

The United States is a nation of immigrants from all over the world. The resulting ethnic mosaic goes a long way toward explaining our greatness as a nation. Immigration has always been a blessing for us, and it still is. But yesteryear's immigration and today's differ in several important respects. For the most part, yesteryear's immigrants came here legally. Because there was no welfare state, we were guaranteed that they'd work as opposed to living off the rest of us. Furthermore, they sought to assimilate and adopt our culture and become Americans. That's not so true today, where Hispanic activists seek to impose their language and culture on the rest of us. At some public schools, they've raised the Mexico flag atop the U.S. flag. They've announced that they seek to take back parts of the U.S. that were formerly Mexico

To me, lobbying is just a euphemism for bribery. Why not have a set amount of money funded by taxpayers for campaigns? This way the disparity between the haves and have nots would not be so great. In addition, influence by corps would not be such a big factor come time when the candidates vote on legislation. Thus they will hopefully make decisions that are influenced by the people they represent and not those that made the largest contributions.

After all, noone seems to want the poor, tired and restless in this country except as scapegoats and cheap labor....

Perhaps we should just tear down the Statue of liberty and erect a huge sign that says "AMERICANS ONLY, ALL OTHERS GO TO HELL". It seems as though we might as well...

30, would he replicate his former ambitions? If he did, what demographic group would be his prime target market for support? Which country would he seek out as his host? Would he try to form para military units as his core once again or shoot for backing from international politicians/business professionals? Would his oratory still be the same pathos impregnated nationalistic theme, or changed more to a ethos based one world order type of "logical" message? Finally, would Adolph use an imagined & trumped up scape goat as bait once again to promote his agenda?

I've heard much talk about experience as it relates to the current crop of presidential candidates. What past job do you think is the most relevant on a candidates resume? A look at the past several presidents reveals usually governors and vice presidents get elected:
George Walker Bush - Former Governor of Texas
William Jefferson Clinton - Former Governor of Arkansas
George Herbert Walker Bush - Former Vice President
Ronald Wilson Reagan - Former Governor of California
James Earl Carter, Jr - Former Governor of Georgia
Gerald Ford - Former House Member/Succeeded to VP and then President (Never elected)
Richard Milhous Nixon - Former Vice President
Lyndon Baines Johnson - Former Vice President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy - Former US Senator

The leading current crop of candidates in both parties are either present or ex members of Congress and even one former city mayor is running? Is there such a thing as experience for President? Or is vision and intelligence more important?

I recently posed a question for global warming deniers - if humans are not the primary cause of the recent acceleration of global warming, then what is? I provided evidence that it's not the sun, cosmic rays, volcanoes, or water vapor. I was provided with not a single valid alternative scientific explanation.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070711133901AAvvAXX&r=w

Also, the scientific consensus is against global warming deniers. In 2004 an article in Science magazine discussed a study by Prof. Naomi Oreskes in which she surveyed 928 scientific journal articles that matched the search [global climate change] at the ISI Web of Science. Of these, according to Oreskes, 75% agreed with the consensus view (either implicitly or explicitly), 25% took no stand one way or the other, and none rejected the consensus.

Is science the arch enemy of global warming deniers? How can anyone be in such denial as to ignore all evidence?

We are growing as a nation faster then we ever have and we already have over 300 million people here. Although our standard of living is much better then most immigrant nations if we don't control how many come here we will lower ours. We already face record prices for every commodity that is driven by supply/demand market factors. Gasoline, electricity, natural gas, fresh water, land, etc are all skyrocketing in price due to the increased demand that more citizens naturally make on limited supplies.

Obviously more people wish to immigrate then we have room for. Yet many people believe we should somehow find a way to "EXPEDITE" the immigration process so that we won't have so many illegals.

So if you believe in open borders do you feel that current Americans should just accept that our standard of living should be lower so that we can accomidate more immigration. Or do you have a viable solution to the problems that record immigration fosters on this coutries citizens?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - President George W. Bush suffered a fresh blow on Iraq Wednesday, as another Republican senator joined a growing party revolt against his war strategy, declaring it at odds with reality.

Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine decided to co-sponsor a proposal written by a senior Democrat that would set a binding deadline of the end of April next year for US troops to be brought home.

"We have arrived at the crossroads of hope and reality, and we must now address the reality," Snowe said, after a period of reflection on whether to support new Senate challenges to Bush war policy. ( Note: Four years ago all Republicans were close. What happened?)
