Atticus Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just wish obama would tell me with specificity what MY share of the pie is going to be, so the wife and I can figure out how to live (and spend) through the next 4 years. Anyone know how I can get this data? I am truly excited about our new redistribution of "wealth". I hope to skygod that there is a place for me somewhere in there. I believe in eliot rosewater. The rest of all this is just idle chatter. With love, AtticusPoongoogler. Link to post Share on other sites
EliotRosewater Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't know that we've formally met, Mr. Poongoogler. But I, too, thank God that we're finally going to take money from people who've worked hard for it, and give it to people who choose not to work quite as hard. God damnit, you've got to be kind. edit: I should add that I'm totally fucking kidding. Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Seriously?!?Joe the Plumber open to 2010 runPosted: 07:17 PM ET From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney (CNN) – Could Joe the Plumber become Joe the congressman? Joe Wurzelbacher, the most famous plumber in America thanks to John McCain and Sarah Palin, told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham Friday he's considering a run for Congress in 2010. That would pit Wurzelbacher against longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur for Ohio's 9th district on the state’s northern border, which includes Toledo and Sandusky. "I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight, Marcy Kaptur definitely has a following in this area," he said of the possibility. "But, you know, I'd be up for it." Wurzelbacher's chances would likely be slim. Kaptur has served in the district for 25 years, and remains a popular figure there. She won reelection in 2006 with nearly 75 percent of the vote and is expected to easily sail through another reelection this year. But Wurzelbacher, who gained fame after he challenged Barack Obama on his tax plan earlier this month, has attained a certain rock-star status in the Republican Party and his entrance into the race would likely be greeted with instant excitement and media coverage. Ingraham herself said she would immediately volunteer for his campaign and help him with campaign advertising and PR. Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee said they would welcome Wurzelbacher's candidacy with "open arms.” "We support Joe the Plumber and people like him everyday with our support for lower taxes and energy independence," NRCC spokesman Ken Spain said. But a spokesman for Kaptur told CNN Wurzelbacher is already off on the wrong foot. "We just had another big layoff at the jeep plant, another 800 workers," Kaptur spokesman Steve Fought said. "So embracing Bush-McCain economics is kind of a strange way to launch your campaign. I'd have to question that strategy" Wurzelbacher's comments come a week after a group of college Republicans launched a Web site with the hope of drafting him for a congressional run. “Washington, DC is broken and it needs to be fixed. Joe Wurzelbacher has a real-world perspective and the right attitude to clean up the mess on Capitol Hill,” says the group’s Web site, which carries the slogan, “Plunge the crap out of Washington.” Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's a question of how hard someone has chosen to work. there are plenty of very hard working people who don't get paid enough and have ridiculous amounts of tax taken out of their check, when someone more wealthy gets a tax break. what kind of logic is that?

Well to me that misses the whole point of how ridiculous that statement is. Taxes pay for infrastructure. The infrastructure we need. No one ever says, "I believe my landlord will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would." Why? Because it is accepted that you pay for services. People seem to have this idea that government, military, roads, bridges and every other form of infrastructure that our taxes pay for just happens. And the government is just taking money for the hell of it because they don't trust us with our own money. I'm all for more fiscal responsibility in Washington, but BOTH parties have proven they aren't very good at that. Therefore our government needs funding and I'd rather pay as we go than continue to borrow from China. Link to post Share on other sites
