Have you ever given it any thought?

Do you think the presidential candidates and our government give it thought?

We bought a home in January 2007. We have had many electrical problems, and now some flooding in the front of the house with no explanation as of yet. The house was a flip, and we wonder if there was a lot not disclosed and wonder if there is anyway to get out of this house.

I have a feeling we are legislating and regulating ourselves to paralisis. There are laws, rules and restrictions in ever increasing places. What do you think?

The top 5% of wealthy households in this country control 59% of the wealth (~$18 trillion). If the government confiscated half of their wealth, and redistributed it evenly to the poorest 95% of American households, each household would receive approximately $200,000. Then nobody would be poor, right?

Assuming the above situation, comment on the following:

Economically, what is wrong with this solution to poverty?

Morally, what is wrong with this solution to poverty?

Speculatively, how do you foresee the 'wealth gap' 25 years after the hypothetical "Great Redistribution"? In other words, after every family was provided a more than adequate chance at prosperity, would poverty exist 25 years hence?

should the government decide whether or not law-abiding individuals should be allowed to own guns?
does the argument that taking away gun ownership will bring better security to the public have a validity??
apparently in britain those who represent the country in gun shooting events have to practice outside of the country?

i'm just trying to get objective arguments for both sides.i'm personally neutral on this issue.

Where and what exactly does it state in the UCMJ about the navy not accomadating those with children/ child care issues. I am getting screwed by one chick in my command that feels a need to not stand mid-watch (we don't stand duty days, but do 4 days a week straight watch on shore duty) because of "child care issues." And I know this is not right, but need to back up my case with actual proof that she should be treated the same as the rest of us!

I see neither success nor progress in the so-called war against global terrorism. I am really doubting if this terrorism could be eradicated, neither it is being fuelled. Nothing could prove that progress is being made in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Bush,

I would like to know what it cost for you to come to Bellevue WA for the sole purpose of raising money for a Congressman. You did raise ½ Mil. That's impressive.

Now let’s look at what it cost.
Air Force 1. $60-70K
Security. Local and otherwise. $150K
The public’s time; holding the people up during rush hour. $50K
The pollution(making us sit in traffic for that extra time)

In dollars that's about $260,000. I would also wonder how much of our tax payers money you wasted by making a personal visit and not doing anything that helped this Country prosper. I didn't hear about you doing anything to bring our men and women in uniform home.

Please tell me how you justify spending so much tax payer money just to say give another citizen money?

Thank you for your time.
