More greed, less obamacare, poor economy, Benghazi and IRS. Maybe it'll make the difference this November.

Nothing wrong with tax breaks for the rich. They earned it.

In fact, the newest ones are the child tax credit and earned income credit, but they only effect the lower half.sardis wrote:Those deductions have been around for everyone for a long time. Not sure what you are getting at with that chart.bluetick wrote:

Did you really need to quote your own post before replying?

You still could've deleted the whole offending part, i.e., the reprint of the whole post, and then just posted your additional comment...

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
I knew I'd heard this BS somewhere before.....
YORBA LINDA, Calif. — Documents released Friday by the Nixon Presidential Library show members of President Richard Nixon's inner circle discussing the possibilities of global warming more than 30 years ago.
Adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan, notable as a Democrat in the administration, urged the administration to initiate a worldwide system of monitoring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, decades before the issue of global warming came to the public's attention.
There is widespread agreement that carbon dioxide content will rise 25 percent by 2000, Moynihan wrote in a September 1969 memo.
"This could increase the average temperature near the earth's surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit," he wrote. "This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter."
Of course, this prediction met the same fate the gobblers are seeing today.

Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor.
“While the Koch brothers admit to not being experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, one of the main causes,” Reid said.

UMass's Political Economy Research Institute ranks Koch Industries as the tenth worst air polluter in the U.S. and is estimated to release 200,000 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide annually.
They may not be the worst, but they certainly spend more than anybody else trying to cover their tracks.

Heh, tenth worst in the most industrialized (although Brock is trying to change that too) country that just happens to have the cleanest air on earth.....yea, I know Tinnysee would LOVE to be the tenth worst CFB team in this fall's top twenty-five poll. Tenth worst in China or India any you're the proverbial blind squirrel, but keep grasping.
