Politics & Government - 2 October 2007

I went to get my another illinois drivers license done cause I lost my. When I went outside I had found that some one scratched my new 2007 SUV. I was so pissed that some one saw that and didnt say anything. Luckey for who ever did it that I didn't see them otherwise the law wouldn't even be able to stop me from killing a low life like that. I respect everyones property cause every1 works hard for their money so that they are able to have nice things. The place was mainly old people and honestly I have respect for elders but when **** like that is done **** them all they shouldn't be able to driver pass the age of 60.

Congressman Paul Introduces "The Tax Free Tips Act"

September 27, 2007

Washington, DC - Congressman Ron Paul has introduced legislation that would ease the tax burden on some of America ’s hardest workers – those in the service industry.

The Tax Free Tips Act of 2007 H.R. 3664 would exempt tips and gratuities from federal income and payroll taxes. Tips often compose a substantial portion of the earnings of waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector employees. However, unlike regular wages, a service-sector employee usually has no guarantee of, or legal right to, a tip. Instead, the amount of a tip usually depends on how well an employee satisfies a client. Since the amount of taxes one pays increases along with the size of tip, taxing tips punishes workers for doing a superior job!

Not only that, but the IRS estimates how much in tips an employee should have received and taxes them based on that.

can you get fired for calling in to take off a shift, and get fired because the reason you had given wasn't good enough? i called in this past friday to let my work know that i could not come in for my shift that day because i had some school responsibilities to take care of. they "let me go" that day, because my reason for taking the shift off was not "reasonable enough". are they allowed to fire you on those grounds alone? otherwise i was an excellent employee and they are aware that i am a college student.

I'd like to ask a question of those of you who like to hit the report button. And the ignore button for that matter.
Would you just quit?
Grow up, grow some skin. If you can't give AND take, why don't you find something else to do?

I'm a military wife and we live in a VERY large military area. We also had family serving in Iraq. Not once have I ever ran into another service member who speaks against their duties and their country. Most generally express pride in their service, and know exactly why they were there and WANT to finish the job.

If you search You Tube you'll find over one hundred anti-military, anti-recruitment videos, some look to be professionally made. Some actually have people posing as "war veterans" that are spewing hate with the worst of them, and generally lying about all sorts of atrocities. I now see why Rush Limbaugh called them out on it.

Are they on George Soros' and Clinton's payroll too?

I just saw a question posted by a Republican female that was absolutely HILARIOUS! The poster agreed with Ann Coulter's assertion that it would be a good idea to take away women's right to vote, so that the Democrats would have fewer voters. Well, let's see here. Do most women vote Democratic? Yes. Do ALL of them? No. I reminded this female that if that if she and Ann Coulter couldn't vote, that would mean at least 2 fewer votes for the Republicans. Isn't such logic (or the lack thereof) astounding!:)

To me the Presdiential Election of Pakistan scheduled for 6th October is the 8th wonder of the world because there will be absolutley no current consent of the 160 million people of Pakistan in this election. Interestingly Bush & Company will legitimize and recognise this sham election. Do you have better candidates for the 8th WOnder of the World. Will you argue for your choice over mine?

Im an Iranian guy interested in American politics... Q. Who votes in party primaries? To phrase my question better: are only registered party members allowed to vote for a particular candidate in the party they signed up for? My other question is that if a current president decides to run for office again will he have to re-seek his party's nomination, or could he be challenged by a fellow peer?
