I don't understand peoples' notions that because people are rich, they should always be forced to pay higher percentages. What does that do for the poor and middle class people, other than make them feel good to see the rich getting taken? Dice it up all you want man... the fact is the top 1% of earners pay 40% of the taxes, and the top 10% pay 71% of them. The richest top percentage has increasingly been paying a bigger and bigger share. They are about 15% of the nations total income, and have gone from paying 25% of the taxes to 71% in 18 years. Having tax breaks for them are necessary because without it, the rich will not invest their money which will stagnate the economy and stunt job creation.

the top 10% also own the majority of assets, while the rest basically work to survive.
middle class works to have a vacation once in a while. the middle lower and lower class work to survive.

top 1% holds 35% of all household net wealth and 56% of all stocks
top 20% owns 85% of all household net wealth and 80% of all stocks

What about a Spanish last name and a science degree? Do they draft people with educations?

FUCK Olbermann. He is the biggest cocksucking no talent spin doctor hack on TV. The FULL version, not edited like the MSNBC version... take it in the context of what the woman is saying. The people circulating it understand perfectly well what happened here. After all, if they’re willing to accuse him of lying about the POW cross story based on no evidence, why would they cut him a break on this?

In a nutshell: A woman asked him a long question about veterans’ benefits, then punctuated it by saying we should bring back the draft. McCain responded by saying “I don’t disagree with anything you have said” before proceeding to give a long answer about … veterans’ benefits. I.e. he simply ignored the bit about the draft, which stands to reason given that he’s said repeatedly that he opposes conscription “unless we were in an all-out World War III” — which, of course, is precisely what the left believes he’s plotting. Don’t call this fearmongering... only the right is capable of that (sarcasm). Rather, try to imagine how Obama might respond if pressed on whether he too would consider a draft in the event of “an all-out World War III.” He never fails to say in the context of Iraq that any Commander in Chief worth his salt always keeps all options on the table. Is there a “World War III” exception to that rule or is he also a warmongering conscriptor in waiting?:




Here's a nice clear example of McCain saying he's NOT for the draft.



Fucking Olbermann... you'll be in a better mood if you ignore his hate filled lies.

Are you sure they wouldn't force me to do research on weapons?

I dont know about US, but such polls are usually conducted outside shopping malls, colleges and other public places.. via form filling..

Do they do such polls over phone in US?

I see them at the mall but most of the time they are not doing polls but marketing research. I do know that they cold call home phone lines.

About sixteen years ago, a surveyor approached me while I was hanging out in the mall. At the time, their "arcade" consisted of about ten arcade machines bunched up in the middle of the mall.

I remember playing a game of "Street Fighter II" (the ORIGINAL) there. I was digging through my pockets for some more quarters when this big black lady came up to me and asked if I would like to take a political survey.......










I was ten years old, at the time.








I remember being very close to yelling out the "safety words" that I were taught to yell in the event of a person I didn't know came up and started talking to me and not leaving me alone:

"STRANGER! STRANGER! DANGER! DANGER!"





I shit you not. After that, I never became interested in politics.

Now these days that don't work..

"I DON'T KNOW YOU MOTHER FOCKER!!!!" would work better now.
