Ok I don't drink alcohol cause I have a stomach thing and it upsets my stomach..Ok so yea I like to smoke pot. Whats the big deal? I mean go to Denver and it's pretty much legal, as long as you don't have a large amount..I think it's the same in California..Ok so I smoke pot sometimes..I'm in my early 20's like I said I DO NOT DRINK!!! Lots of people my age get drunk everynight, or even every weekend and act like idiots, have sex with random people and drive cars risking peoples life's..But it's legal to drink so whatever most people don't care. Why is it a crime if I wanna smoke a joint when I get home from work? Seriously I mean it's so not a big deal. So why do people rag on people who wanna relax and smoke..I'm an educated person with a good job and my own car ect..Why do people care what I do, Yeah I smoke some pot but it's not worse than drinking..Why do you care I mean seriously can someone explain please

What is the point of anyone who is working and is under the age of 50 to pay taxes into Social Security when there isn't even going to be enough Social Security to pay for the baby boomers?

And to make things worse the Govt. will have to increase Social Security taxes on everyone under 50 to pay for the shortfalls because of the boomers.

I am 26 and have lived away from home since I was 18....I talked to my Mom tonight on the phone (she lives in another state) and she said a police office rang her doorbell and asked if I was there.
My Mom got scared and just told the police officer I did not live there...He then said "Well, I will just send this paperwork back then." And my mom shut the door...(she didn't know what to do).
She said maybe it was because I have late bills....I have a school loan out in the amount of about $1500 and a way overdue credit card account but if you add it all up the total is under $4000....It seems pretty drastic to me to send the police for this.
The only other thing I can think of is during high school I had a older man that stalked me....I had to get a restraining order on him....although this was years ago, do you have to renew it?
I have not been in trouble....
So any ideas why the police knocked on my moms door? Thanks!!!

Apparently, they have more important issue to concentrate on: abortions, immigration and - o my god, I'm so sorry to have forgotten it! - Iraq. The latter has so far cost us how many billions? For what purpose, exactly? So, next time you hear somebody b.i.t.c.hing about where to get $$$ to insure everybody in this country, just ask him or her to look at the funds spent (and very well spent) on Iraq's "liberation".

Six billion people on a world that can hold a half-billion at a non-impoverished (industrialized) lifestyle level. How long will the earth last if we try to industrialize other allready overpopulated nations? At what point will we be forced to put caps on the populations of allready industrialized nations?

"If progressive taxes soak the rich, and regressive taxes soak the poor, why do we almost never hear the term, "soak the poor"? Perhaps that is a "loaded" question?

Let's imagine two frugal traveling salesmen. They each have to buy a new car every four years to (say) keep up appearances, and they need reliable transportation.
(One guy makes 20K, the other 300K)
Run the numbers on a the RATE of total income each pays on on 5% sales tax.

Poor Boy buys a $20,000 car pays $1000 or 5.0% of his income.
Rich Boy buys a $60,000 car pays $3000 or 1.0% of his income.

Poor Boy has 5 times the tax bite, or rate of tax on a car. Rich Boy hardly feels sales taxes.

Then run the numbers on a $30 pair of Levis, and the tax rate discrepancy triples.
Sales tax is NOT a flat tax. ""

In 1913, Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve
Act. A few years later he wrote: "I am a most unhappy
man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of
credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The
growth of the nation, therefore, and all our
activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come
to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the
civilized world no longer a Government by free
opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the
vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion
and duress of a small group of dominant men."
