Scotty,
I do understand the religious context of your reply. Maybe you can inform us about it.

Scooty,
Mis type. I mean I do not understand religious context behind your reply. I am one of those people who doesn't believe in mixing religion with politics.

Did God really say that you're not to eat the fruit of any tree in the garden?

Put it this way. Visit a marina. There they are in their large boats, while you float by in a dinghy. They patronize the best restaurants, while you scratch out a few bucks for the Dollar Menu. They furnish their expensive homes with gold toiletry and jewel-encrusted umbrella stands, while you can't replace the carpeting the dog vomited on. They wear Calvin Klein and Armani, while you dress in stitched-together rags from a Chinese sweat shop.
It's time someone said it. It's time some politician faced what the former Middle Class of America is experiencing. I think John Kennedy proved that a President can be very rich, but still have compassion for the public. I think Bill Clinton showed the same traits, despite the baying of the hounddogs on his trail. I think Hillary is intelligent, educated and liberal. To me, those three words are worthy of Shakespearean status.

Yes, she did say it. It's about time someone does something for the middle class and stop letting the rich have a free ride. At a fund raiser for hillary, billionaire Warren Buffet stated he paid less taxes than his receptionist. We need some big changes in this country, some honesty, and elected officials that we can trust.

Sounds like my girl... we need a good Robin Hood in this country... and if you think the voters will disagree... well...
The only thing I don't like about AMT is that Rich companies get off a little easier than Rich PEOPLE....
I would rather see Walmart get taxed more than Sam Walton... get it?
But I guess they think that would be bad for the economy somehow...

She said it; she meant it and she was correct. The Alternative Minimum Tax has been twisted from it's original intention to the point that it now favors a drill bit.

Yes, she did. Hooray for Hillary! It's about time someone does something for the hard-working & underpaid middle class.

Of course she said it.
And she meant it and believes it.
And the only change she would ever make to it is to have more people pay more.
