    Intade shows move for John McCain !!!!!!

    My brother tried to convince me to go, but seeing as how I'm not a supporter of Obama I passed. But looks like I missed quite a spectacle, I have to give the man credit.....I haven't seen an individual inspire so many in such a short amount of time. I remember the demoncrats being contained...

    LOL...gimme a break. You asked for an association and I gave you an association.....and I've never had Kool Aid in my life....get some originality. The great O'Reilly already brought that phrase to the mass media.

    I'm just curious.....what exactly do you expect the "real Obama" to be IF (Still plenty of time for McCain to pull this out) he becomes president? You think Obama is gonna be planning terrorist activities against the US from the white house? Or maybe he's gonna finally get even and force...

    What is the fallout of cheap oil?

    We're starting to see some fallout from the oil price plummet and just wanted to get ideas on what people think the economic impact of this could be. The first glaring thing is the market. Financials and Energy are a major part of the S&P. Financials got destroyed earlier this year and Energy...

    Palin allies report rising campaign tension

    Thats true but in an election this tight she has to know that she is a media target and anything she says to anyone will be broadcast everywhere. I understand that she is trying to play to her current audience, who at the time was a pastor....but you can do the butt kissing in a way that isn't...

    Palin allies report rising campaign tension

    For being a small slice, the independent voters sure seem to have a big impact on the elections so I would consider them important. This Gods hands thing was pointed out to me by a couple of people at work that are independents, they are joking about it. The point is that she is giving plenty...

    Palin allies report rising campaign tension

    This has nothing to do with the existence of God. This has to do with winning a presidential campaign. The presidency hangs in the balance on which candidate can convince enough independent voters and independent voters don't want to hear this religious BS. So she is basically putting off...

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    I'd love this as this would make the tax system significantly easier. I guess some potential problems I see: - Further house price depreciation because people will lose the tax benefits of writing off interest. - People whining that have kids who can't get their dependent deductions...

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    Didn't most rich people rise out of the middle class or lower class....therefore technically they benefited from the entitlements while they were "working to get rich."

    I don't get it. House worth less than mortgage=can't pay mortgage??????

    Yeah they tried to pull the similar kind of schtick with me when I was getting my mortgage. I went in to qualify for an fha 30yr fixed 5 years ago and I had my payment in mind and how much I wanted to spend on a mortgage. Then we came up with my numbers and then I told them that I would like...

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    I'm still interested in a consumption tax. It would be interesting if the only tax you paid was a sales tax of 15% on all items purchased. The more you consume the more you pay, hell you'd finally snag the drug dealers and the black market into paying taxes. Illegal aliens would now be paying...

    I don't get it. House worth less than mortgage=can't pay mortgage??????

    You're mostly right but you are generalizing. There were also a lot of people that weren't counting on home appreciation. There were also people that had taken out the ARMS because they had limited down payments and were making payments on time thinking that after 5 years they will have built...

    I don't get it. House worth less than mortgage=can't pay mortgage??????

    I agree, the banks should have done more to work with their borrower to work out something like refi the owner if they were paying on time, maybe give them a fixed with negative amortization or just a fixed mortgage rate amortized over 40 or even 50 yrs. I just don't see why a bank would prefer...

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    I'll start off by saying that I would LOVE a 15% flat tax. That is one of the best ideas which I wish would get embraced. I'd love a consumption tax if there was a way to make that work but doing a little devils advocate here.... Isn't it in the best interest of the rich to have a strong...
