One quarter of 1 percent who earn more than $1 million a year got 62% of the tax savings from the change in the law. People with incomes of over $10 million a year got 28% of that group's savings at about $1.9 million each. Citizens For Tax Justice Committee released this and found that the rich are indeed getting richer , thanks to the new laws.

If so, then shouldn't we take away the profits of entertainment and sports? They make too much money off the people. Their salaries are too high just like the CEOs.

Alot of people that I have spoke with said no because they say that woman are to soft and arent cold hearted enough to demolish a country if needed. I htink that she would make this a better living enviroment for everyone, I too do think that maybe she might not blow up a country if needed but she will be willing to negotiate <-- (i dont think i spelled that right) to make things right but then again woman get stronger and stronger everyday so maybe she will do what is needed to be done.

The commies in Russia passed gun control laws, disarmed civilians, and the communists seized control of Russia because no one could fight back. Hitler disarmed the Germans the same way and went on to kill anyone he did not like because they were disarmed. Japan did not attack the US because they knew Americans were armed and that Americans have a history of not being afraid to fight anyone.

I should easily be able to buy any weapon I want except for a nuclear weapon, including autos, or semi-autos. I will never, ever give up my weapons, so I vote for Republicans most of the time so this will not happen. Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want to ban the sale of semi-automatics, so that proves right there they have no backbone and they would make weak leaders. Bill Clinton did enough to destroy the Second Amendment when he put a ban on the sales of automatics, and I never want to see another Clinton in the White House.

It is not worrying enough that Russia has started its air patrols (using bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons), or that they are thought to have started sending submarines close to UK waters, but in one of the recent interceptions, they are flying planes with the red star again.

The red star was used by the USSR, Russia is meant to be different, a democracy instead of a dictatorship. Is this a worrying sign and are you concerned about these flights?

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday called the Bush administration's decision to tighten restrictions on relatives of Cubans who want to visit the island or send money home strategic blunders and promised to reverse the measures if elected.
The Illinois senator leapt into the long-running and often bruising debate over U.S.-Cuba policy with an op-ed piece published in The Miami Herald.

"The primary means we have of encouraging positive change in Cuba today is to help the Cuban people become less dependent on the Castro regime in fundamental ways," Obama wrote.

"Unfortunately, the Bush administration has made grand gestures to that end while strategically blundering when it comes to actually advancing the cause of freedom and democracy in Cuba," he added.

Hi,
I'm now in the USA on a tourist visa,
when I entered the officer in the airport told me that it is necessary that I report departure when I leave the US.

My flight is from New York, but there's a connection in Detroit, then from Detroit to outside the USA.
It's written in the paper he gave me that I should report my exit at the FINAL port of departure, so that is Detroit...
however the time between my two flights is almost 1 hour, (and I have to be on-board the plane 20 min. in advance)

Is 45 minutes enough for arriving in Detroit, going through security (again?), go to CBP report my departure, then run to the gate to my flight?
If I'm late to my flight Because of delays in reporting my departure, will the airline understand this and offer me to be on the next flight (the next day) for free?

Booking another flight at this time will cost me a fortune,
your advice is appreciated.

Thanks

I do hear a lot of democrats who are saying they think we should continue fighting in afganistan and look for osama bin laden,

my question is, are there any elected democrats this decade who said on the record we should stop fighting terrorism?

Anyone who said we should stop being the United States of America and let osama bin laden run this land?

Or are you just playing the we're good the other political party is bad game?

I'm old enough to remember young girls having to resort to the "back ally" or a European holiday. I suspect that the pro-life advocates are promoting unenforcible laws, unless they are planning to resort to police state tactics. In my opinion, the cause of most abortions are of two kinds. Fear of public censure i.e. loss of status and loss of income i.e not enough to support quality of life. Unless the pro-life advocates are willing to deal with cause and effect, their efforts will be fruitless as well as destructive.

It seems like bush keeps pissing off countries, so is he going to cause another war with another country? If so, can america hold its own against them? Cause I really doubt any of our allies are going to help, if we even have any allies left.

Also if anyone has a site that lists U.S. war allies I would like to see it.
