I just thought i'd ask this, as i've always wondered. Im from Ireland, and I always wanted to work in the U.S in the police department. Is that possible? or do you have to be a full American citizen?

This is a serious question and it has nothing to do with LIBS/CONS (believe me I have been reported by both of you guys). I get violation notices for responding to very abrasive questions where the questioner is not, in any way, trying to understand another person's viewpoint... Sometimes I get sarcastic but never in any way do I use offensive language... the worst that I did was type out "YAWN" to a question and asked the questioner to define the term he was discussing (this was reported and I got a violatiion notice... that was it).

Does Yahoo automatically send out violation notices without even seeing the answer (and question) reported by average users? It seems that way but I don't know because when I asked Yahoo I never got a response.

I wish that I didnt have to put this question here but Yahoo has never responded. I am not whining, I am just really curious and am wondering if other people actually know the answer to this... or if they are as baffled as me.

Isn't it my right as a business owner to decide what deadly fumes I contain in my business? If people don't want to be exposed to them, they can go somewhere else. But the government shouldn't be allowed to make it illegal for me to fill MY business with pesticide if I choose to.

We all know that the congress almost unamiously voted for the war in Iraq and we all know that everyone in government was telling us the WMD story for years before Bush was in office so it doesn't seem right to me to blame him 100% for the war. I'm hard pressed to see anything else he has done poorly. I mean the economy is doing very well, we haven't been attacked on US soil since 9/11 and our schools are showing marked improvement. I just don't understand why people hate this guy. Yesterday I asked a similiar question and all I got was a bunch of nut cases talking about foolish things like "he was behind 9/11" or "he went AWOL 50 years ago" or "he is spying on us" (as if anyone calling over seas EVER had an expectation of privacy or as if congress hasn't repreatedly approved of these programs and indeed CREATED the patriot act) So if you have a lagitimate grip about the guy not wild interenet theories I like to hear about it.

When I became an Iamerican citizen I swore allegiance to USA and denounced my ties as citizen to all other nations. Many American citi zens some of them naturalized here were previous Israeli citizens and went to Israel to fight the latest Lebanon War. The media announced their going to war for Israel with pride. If I or any other US citizen would have gone to fight for Lebanon would it also have been OK .?

Can we see that a graduated income tax with high marginal rates enlarges the client base and reduces the funding base for a welfare state? Can we see that for a welfare state to work, you have to have a small minority client base and a large class of people who are financially well off enough to be able to fund it?

Politically many of the payors might resent it, and if there aren't enough people dependent on the system to form a majority, you aren't guaranteed that the system will continue to be voted into place - - - but have we forgotten the lessons of the 1970s, when the system worked politically but not financially and it all came crumbling down?

High marginal rates were the govt kicking you 7 steps back for every 10 steps you could - you couldn't get ahead. Do we deny that the increase in the proportion of our population that is affluent is due to lowering the marginal tax rates, enabling more people to get ahead?

had over 80% approval from Californians to do so. The California legislature votes to secede, and the Governor signs it into law.

1) What else is needed?
2) If al that was needed were in place, do you think the federal government would really allow it to happen, or try legal or even military means to prevent it?

If so, and they fail should they be cut off assitance?

Working people get screened for drug usage in public jobs, the jobs that support welfare. I could not keep my job if I were drunk or taking drugs.

Also do you feel that the number of dependents (children) in a given household that the Govenment supports should be limited? Would'nt this discourage people from having children for more Gov't assistance.

We could round the perpetual able bodied recipients of welfare and host what I would call “Monday Night Gladiators”. This would be where teams would battle for our tax dollars. The winners would stay on welfare and the losers would go into forced labor. What do you think any ideas, ways to make it better?

Yes we have less of a welfare state than we did before - though the top two candidates from one party have long opposed the policy shifts that have led to this result.

What we've done is reversed the vicious cycle - - the government's game of musical chairs with jobs - - taking the dollar I would have spent on a widget or invested in ACME widget company, funneling it through a bureaucracy that employs some campaign staffer's brother-in-law and then doling out 25 cents six months later to some guy who used to be on the 3rd shift at ACME when ACME had a third shift, which it would still have if people like me had bought those widgets.

But in the long run, financially, to maintain a welfare state, doesn't it need to be the case that most people aren't clients or potential clients - are well off enough to support a welfare state for a small minority?

We own a lawn maintenance company. Our employee, while using a weedeater, broke a window at a client's house. He hit a rock, and the rock hit the window. It was an accident.
Who is financially responsible? We the owners, or our employee?
Should the employee be responsible for the entire bill, or only part of it?
Thanks in advance!
