Tax the companies within the United States who outsource jobs and import their products from foreign countries so that their goods would cost more than the goods of products made in America.

I guess one problem with this would be that the countries that we import from will no longer want to take our exports, but I think that there would be enough business within America and with other countries that we don't outsource jobs to that would make up for that.

1) Until Bush started throwing around words like "tax relief" last I heard, taxes WEREN"T considered a burden, wage conficscation, or any sort of government theft and impingement on the individual.

They were seen as an investment in the community and nation, an investment in ensuring that we all have police protection from those who violate society's laws, that the infrastructure is well maintained, that if you fall on hard times you will be given assistance until you can get back on your feet.

2) The only reason anybody NEEDS tax relief is beccause we are doing the opposite of common sense and intelligence. If we taxed most, those who had the most, which makes sense, then we could lessen the burden on the lower classes and thus, allow them more purchasing power and help them raise their financial status, and create increased fiscal responsibility and honest sense of duty in the extreme rich.

That's what I hear everytime I ask a liberal what qualifications do Obama or Hillary have to be running for president?

Have they run a company or been an excutive like Romney, Guliani or GWB?

Do they have experiance in the Military like McCain or GWB?

Have they ever managed an organization of anykind like Romney, Guliani, GWB?

They are simply two of 50 junior senators! That's it. Nothing else!

If your answer is "They Qualify under the Constitution."

Well, so does the Unabomber!

I don't know a lot about birth control pills but was confused about Portland, ME middle schools passing them out to kids and am looking for info.

I was under the impression that birth control pills were regulated by the FDA and required a doctor's prescrition. In Portland are doctors looking at these girls and writing scripts? Are hey ignoring the need for the prescription? Is it against the law to distribute these pills without a prescription?

I'm against this buit seems to make more sense to distribute condoms that aren't ingested and also protect against STDs.

I guess not everyone in Venezuala is happy with the tyrant Hugo Chavez trying to resurrect the horrors of Communism...pretty sweet, eh!?

Endless imperialist war to steal for the corporations.
Rubber-stamping identical political parties to serve the corporations.
Endless stream of media lies to protect the corporations.
Outsourcing, "free trade", unlimited immigration to enrich the corporations.

When do you want a government that benefits YOU?
And what are you prepared to do to get it?

if you believe like many now believe that the american govt doesnt have the american peoples best interest in mind, then is our own govt terrorizing us? granted they havent done anything violent yet (that i know of) but alot of their actions are diminishing a once thriveing economy, are they actualy robbing the american people? i think it would be a very effective way to conquer a country by silently infiltrating their own govt system and slowly draining the economy. do you think thats happening? or are we just in a bad limbo inbetween elections?

The Terrorists have hit London, Spain, Bali and others but because of George W. Bush's policies;

Wire Taps
Patriot Act
Cuba Prison Camps
Fighting them over there....so we don't have to fight them over here. Killing 1,500 a TERRORISTS a month in Iraq not USA.

The terrorists have not been able to strike America on her own soil.

Because of our anti-Soviet paranoia we didn't realize that Islamic extremism was a much bigger threat. Maybe we should have let the Soviet kicked Mujahideen butt!

The Left thinks Iraq is a killing field for Americans. Actually, it is a killing field for our enemies!

Just Listen our two term Commander in Chief, George W. Bush;

"In Iraq, our troops are taking the fight to the extremists and radicals and murderers all throughout the country. Our troops have killed or captured an average of more than 1,500 al Qaeda terrorists and other extremists every month since January of this year."

You don’t shoot poisonous fire-ants with a BB gun; you just set an ant trap. Instead, you destroy ant colonies by attracting hungry ants to a chemical bait, and then kill them all in one small place. Ant traps work.

That’s the Bush strategy in Iraq. Al Qaeda isn’t centralized, with big cities or steel industries like Nazi Germany. So you can’t destroy the enemy by hunting them one by one. Rather, you bait a trap — provoke them to come to you, and make sure they don’t get out alive!

Thank You GWB!

" Until and unless the U.S. government, the U.S. Congress, the Pentagon, and the mainstream media stop being willfully blind to the geostrategy of today, the United States will be lagging in the development of post-nuclear superweapons more and more behind China in its “strategic partnership” with Putin's Russia."

I've noticed that Americans tend to present their Presidents as larger than life, even though they are just people. Extremely lucky/ambitious/talented people (some of them), but people nonetheless.
