This implies that we'll take in enought to cover basic services. We won't. What's wrong with keeping more of your own money? Well, for one thing, its NOT YOUR MONEY. It belongs in the paycheck of the cop who keeps people from robbing your house & the fireman who keeps it from burning down. PS- I Love that analogy of the fireman & nurse. It uses NYC fireman's pay with overtinme for 2001 and a NYC nurses salary with the same overtime in the same time period. While hiding behind the flag and 9-11, the Dirty Tricksters (who are more than likely are Paid to post here) carefully avoid mentioning all the work involved in the aftermath of the twin tower's collapse. (then again, if it can't be twisted into Republi-Nazi dogma, just discard it, right?) Now if you take those two people's salaries and compare them with the National Average (cost of living Might be a tad lower than Manhattan in places like Alabama, ya think?), then they are in the top 10% of the National Average of 2001.
But they still are not in the top 1% that own 68% of all the businesses in America.
As for the speech and his sincerity, a Blank Mind can say anything with convictions. As for Bush's Convictions, I expect they'll follow shortly once he's out of office. The speech itself is a throw-away...a nothing. It means nothing because there no longer are checks and balances: The Executive, The ruling Legislative, and The Majority Judiciary are ALL ONLY FROM ONE PARTY. (Sig Heil der Homeland Defense)

Interesting,
1st It is my money I make it not the Cop, He makes His own money for the job he does it's called a paycheck.
2nd Cost of living is TOTALLY irrelevant because U.S. citizens are taxed on the income they make not on where they live. (You bet the cost of living is cheaper in Alabama thats why I live in small town Alabama, and not a major city. But "Hale", "If'n" you want to pay more for stuff then I do Be My guest, It's no sweat off my rear-end)
3rd 1% own 68% of the businesses (Bulvine Feeces). 1% may own the busineeses make 68% of the total revenue generated by businesses. But there is "NowayinHale" that 1% own 68% of the total businesses in the U.S.A. There is a differance, even this "ole country boy" can tell there is a differance, "Shootfire" there are even different words with different meanings used, in the statements. But, perhaps in a city-fied edumacation they skipped over that part.
4th It was a fireman and a teacher, not a fireman and a nurse nor did I state which city they lived in, nor did I write how long they had been on the Job. I'll bet you that in most major cities a fireman with 7-10 years on the job is making in the upper $40k same for a teacher with the same amount of time. In "little Ole back woods" Northport, Alabama the starting saliary for a fireman is in the 30K range. And we be just dumb "poor country bumpkins", surely you "High Faluteing city folks" are paying your Firemen and Police more with that cost of living "do-mahitchie".
So what were you saying about throwing stuff away? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]
