Barack Obama Wants Your Money As You Tumble From The Fiscal Cliff

Quote from oldtime:

oh well hell, if you want to go that route, who was that guy? E.E. Cummings

I suppose you are the last word on correctness

Tell me, why should English be the official language of the United States? Are you English? I'm not, at least not entirely.

What do you know about the written language? Probably nothing more than you were taught in school.

I was taught in school that Christopher Columbus discovered America.

You have a lot to learn when it comes to the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

and yes I know you weren't replying to me

e.e. cummings and someone who writes and thinks like a texting tweenager are two different animals.

The point is that "freethinker" has no right to question the other poster's cognitive abilities.

You appear to be talking to yourself now. Time go get some fresh air outside?

No, he doesn't, but that's one of the primary features of modern-day liberalism. It says to its adherents "If you believe these things, even if you are a moron, you are actually intelligent". For someone who's insecure about his IQ, the attraction of this ideology is clear.

It's insidious because it makes people who are actually morons think they are Einsteins. In fact, if Einstein came back from the dead today and disagreed with any part of the Left's agenda, they'd call him an idiot.

There's no possibility of fruitful dialogue with such people. That's why I say, give 'em their own country and let them PROVE how smart they are through actually governing and prospering when there is no one to blame for their failures because their ideology will exist unopposed.

Say what you will, but I think the average Russian Communist leader during the heyday of the Soviet Union was a million times smarter and more capable than some douche like Free Thinker or Barack Obama. Yet, those Russians weren't able to make collectivism work. It's an ideology that will always fail. Those of us humans with half a brain and the ability to read a history book have already recognized that, but the humans who seem to think they've got twice the brain as the rest of us haven't and they keep trying to drag the rest of us into the mire with them.

well I will agree that free thinker is about as stupid as a human being can be, it's hard to understand how any man can be as confused and totally unfounded and pathetically deficient in all fields, intellectually, morally, and spiritually, but this is the internet and it is a low blow to demand that a hunt and peck poster live up to the same standards expected of a dumb kid trying .to get a masters degree. They probably don't even read his thesis, they just turn it over to their fourth grade teacher wife and ask her to check for grammatical errors.

and yes it was a good week but a very bad Friday and I could use something, not sure if fresh air will do it, but more than I am currently getting.

No, you learn something:

Raise the Retirement Age?
• Americans are living longer and spending more time in retirement.
�� Since 1940, when Social Security began paying monthly retirement benefits, life expectancy at
age 65 has increased 5.1 years for men and 6.0 years for women.
�� The full retirement age would have to increase to 73 for adults to have the same expected years
of remaining life in retirement today as in 1940.

I'm right -- SS hasn't kept up with life expectancy--not even close. Now move along.

God, you're both obnoxious and willfully ignorant. Not a good combo.
But I already knew you were hopeless as a trader.

Just an FYI: you can't debate if you don't even have a grasp of the facts.
Can't trade that way either.
Not that you ever knew how anyway.

Not one word of this response engaged with the facts of rising life expectancy and Social Security.

So, your claim that "you can't debate if you don't even have a grasp of the facts" may as well have been directed at yourself.

Quote from badvestor:

Am a little confused. Is the 15% dividend tax being revoked? Because anyone worth any money can set up a corporate vehicle through which they write off everything including mortgage and interest on loans and then pay themselves the net through a dividend.

You'll end up getting free room and board from Uncle Sam if you try that.
