    I love how everyone wants everyone else to pay taxes... how's about advocating an income tax increase for everyone in your income bracket? I didn't think so. What a bunch of hypocrites! So altruistic when it doesn't cost you anything. So pathetic!

    Yeap, I guess that all that Holocaust stuff is just a myth after all... I'm sure Ahmadinejad will be happy to book tickets for you and Rev. Wright, Obama and Farrakhan when he holds his next Holocaust denial convention.

    I guess I just have a problem with the idea to single out 5% of the population to buy the votes of the other 95%... isn't that how Hitler funded his brand of socialism?

    The joke of all this is that your tax dollars don't go to help the needy but rather to pay for all of the public employees. All of the states facing deficits are cutting back on direct aid to the poor and the disabled. What they are unwilling to do is take on the public employee unions with...

    QuantNet Picnic In Central Park on Sat 9/20

    Great idea Maggie! I would say that anyone who requires a lawn chair should bring their own. We'll need about 5 blankets / sheets for people to sit on. It would be awesome if the advance team could grab a few picnic tables. Sports equipment - just bring whatever you want. Like I...
