Word of the day "FUCKWAD" I laughed my ass off when I read that. I going to use FUCKWAD at least once tomorrow in a conversation.

Chicago really needs it's own dictionary.....
 
The word's been around. Fuckwad was a favorite come back of a high school buddy of mine and I lived in the sticks in a small town in New Mexico. Reading that brought back memories of goofing off as as a high school kid.
 
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Hey FUCKWAD: McCain spoke about cutting taxes, cutting entitlements, cutting EVERY NON DEFENSE PROGRAM in the Federal budget. Period. That was in response to a question about What's Changed. Obama didn't mention ONE SPECIFIC ITEM that HE would cut. I'm sure it pisses socialists like yourself off but no McCain isn't going to RAISE taxes. Nor is he going to INCREASE spending. That's Obama's gig......

"Hey FUCKWAD" as an opener probably doesn't advance your case all that much.

"McCain recklessly floats unfocused big ideas and leaves them hanging in the air without explanation. He repeated his pledge from the first debate to freeze federal spending except for defense, military veterans and other unnamed priorities. He also said he would order the Treasury secretary to buy mortgages of individual homeowners and adjust them to reflect declining values. That sounds desperate coming from a politician who argues against big government and only recently embraced more government regulation of financial markets. It offers false hope to Americans when Congress would not even allow bankruptcy judges last week to alter mortgage terms for homeowners facing foreclosure."

Looks a LOT like the plot line for "Read My Lips: No New Taxes" - Part II, doesn't it?

You probably shouldn't be making promises that your favored candidate can't keep.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

It's a question of whether or not you want to encourage investment and risk taking, ie the sort of behavior that has been proved over time in many different countries to grow wealth, or if you want to encourage passive, risk-adverse behavior.

Actually:
1) Higher marginal cap gains & dividends rates in upper brackets could push some of this passively invested "sit on your ass and collect dividends" money into more active investments such as creating new businesses.

2) Fair, progressive taxation would create opportunity for working adults living 'on the margin' to embark upon their own saving & investment plan - working toward securing a retirement that isn't dependent upon public funding.


Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I doubt businessmen who are trying to create or grow small businesses consider their investments "sitting on your ass" income. The fact you do speaks volumes.

Collecting dividends & capital gains from financial markets is not the same as creating (or growing) businesses. Your attempt to equate the two is laughably fallacious.
