you're outnumbered by vols.
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

I said all this after the damn Philly Debate with the PAH...

Obama’s spray-on hair of fiscal policy

If you loved leisure suits and Prohibition, the president’s budget plan will be groovy

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... #pagebreak

.........................

It has become increasingly obvious that to balance America’s national budget, we must cut spending and optimize tax revenues. The challenge is to find the tax rate that will best yield the necessary revenue. Consider these obvious scenarios: A tax rate of zero percent would yield zero in revenues, while a tax rate of 100 percent would also yield zero in revenues because no one would work for nothing. Americans aren’t stupid. Clearly, then, simply increasing tax rates will not always increase revenues.

This economic reality spares no political party. When Democratic President Kennedy and Republican Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush reduced income tax rates, total tax revenues coming into the Treasury increased because, as JFK explained, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” When Democratic Presidents Carter and Clinton and Republican President George H.W. Bush raised income tax rates, total tax revenues fell. The same holds true for other types of taxes. Reagan’s capital-gains tax increase reduced revenues, while tax-rate reductions instated by Mr. Carter, Mr. Clinton and George W. Bush yielded increased revenues.

Economics 101 students have long understood this concept. In fact, even John Maynard Keynes himself, the Democrats’ high economic priest of big government, acknowledged that “taxation may be so high as to defeat its object.” In a 2008 presidential debate, when candidate Barack Obama was presented with these undeniable facts and asked why he would possibly still favor nearly doubling the capital gains tax rate, he replied, “… for purposes of fairness.”

Islamic fundamentalist doesn't necessarily mean islamofacist.

Nobody wants to discuss the voucher system being pushed as a replacement for Medicare. Interesting.

Personally, I wish dems would quit dem-onizing the idea (see what I did there?). This could finally be the shove everybody needs to eat right and exercise and to quit smoking in the run-up to their golden years. Otherwise, elderly who are thick and smoking will likely need to do a reverse mortgage to finance their private health plan....that favors their private health provider as the beneficiary (sorry kids).

Yessiree - 4 pages of medical questions followed by a couple pages of estate and property pre-appraisals. Turning 65 will be a relief for some, and an absolute nightmare for others. No real winners, just different shades of how much you'll have to surrender nest-egg-wise to stay alive.

okay - the real winners will be private healthcare and the pols who are in bed with them...but you knew that already
