    Tell me, where does it end? Stop the whining about being "poor". Instead, use the freedom you have and go get it. Or not. No big deal, really.

    Or, in other words.... Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
    But I have used the freedom I have to go get it. And I have paid my employees fairly because they have enriched me. And I have paid my taxes with no complaints because I know that the taxes I pay will go to build my country and provide for those who never had the opportunities that I have had.
    Why would I want to make more money than I could spend in 3 lifetimes like some people do ??? There is plenty here for us all. No big deal, really.

    Do a little homework dear.... Find out how many jobs were created after Bush signed the current tax rates into law. What was the unemployment rate in 2006? Hmmmmm......


    THEN look at what happened after the Democrats gained control of the purse. (Congress.....)


    Tell me what you find.


    I will give you one thing though.... Cutting tax rates, but not spending, is insane. Thus what we have now. So I am not really defending Bush here.... FYI. Basically, the people know how to spend our money better than .gov.

    History, in a huge way, disagrees with you. If "bottom up", or Kenesyian economics worked.... What gives? Bush did it.... Obama did it.... Look where we are.

    I hope you bring up the mortgage crisis as an example of your point.

    I dont see Jon Kyl's name on the list of signers. Me thinks you group all with some with your forked tongue.

    So I again ask, why do you hate Native Americans?

    Isn't the Pledge a Tea Party idea? Maybe he isn't a member. Kyl was
    an avid supporter of a earmark ban as were other members of the Republican
    Party.He made his position very clear in his press release on the subject.

    He didnt sign the pledge, so he is no better then your socialist heroes when they say one thing yet mean another. He is as adept at twospeak as your Democratic Party leaders and your Messiah Obama.

    We want our land back or rent paid with interest for all the years it's been taken from us.

    Here are some thoughts on the latest 'bomber' in our midst.

    Why is known as the Christmas Tree Bomber?

    The only one I know who has 'bombed' with a Christmas tree was Charlie Brown....

    Why does the Muslim religion have such a problem with drawing the Prophet Mohammed yet, some approve of an idiot named Mohamud Mohamud trying to kill innocent people?

    I am no expert on the Muslim religion, but feel pretty comfortable saying there is no link between the former and the latter outlined above.
