When the music stops who will be left without a chair?

Have you been listning and watching the garbage going on in DC? Now the slime balls have got to get up and be counted and the rats are heading for the dark corners, IRS problems galore, cheats and thieves. The greenies want fur and O'BS is demanding a waiver for environmental damage so a stimulation project can be started in under 3 years. Don't ya just love it when idiots come out to play in the real world. Missing is the whaling from Hollyworst, their hero is stuffing the spotted owl in the but-x and it is just OK and wonderful.

PS: A hundred billion there and a hundred billion here and pretty soon you are talking about real money..... give em a tax credit who knows they might actually pay a tax one day.

Don't get me started about Obama and his "clean" administration. He has nominated 4 people that had tax issues, and Daschle is about the only one I think could have possibly not known he owed the taxes, but it was such a huge amount that he lost that appointment. What I am really upset about is Geithner because he KNEW he owed the money, and then he was appointed as the head of the US Treasury, which oversees the IRS. I really have to laugh at that. Kind of like stealing from a company and then being hired by it afterward.

The billions of dollars being spent in Washington is utterly nuts. Our children and grandchildren will be paying for our screw ups and lavish lifestyle. The music has already stopped, we just have not realized it.

[Larryjk]

fabsroman, Tom Daschle was on the committee that wrote tax rules. He did know; just thought they didn't apply to him!

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Well, since all the jails are overcrowded, I guess we have to start putting the crooks in D.C.

[berettadouble]

Don't apologize for our "lavish lifestyle", make the bastards taht didn't earn theirs (Daschle) apologize for his...

[Rapier]

That is OK, if Pelosi and O'BS have their way, our "lavish lifestyle" will be sliced and diced into portions for the illegal aliens and the poor. Everyone can help the less fortunate and feel equal, warm and fuzzy standing by the fire barrel under the overpass. Just don’t look for Pelosi, or the other crooks, they will be counting their unpaid taxes in the back of the limo, as it speeds by. Each one is just one of the people...... just scum to which the law does not apply. Teach your children well.

What post do you think you might get appointed to if you do not pay your taxes? How about the corner fence post out in the exercise yard at Leavenworth?

If I do not pay my taxes can I be the Treasurer of these United States, Daddy?

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I wonder: do I just have to be a Democrat to not pay taxes, or do I have to be a member of Congress as well?

I have been told (by my brother in law) that I make too much money for what I do (I'm in the medical field)....If the goverment feels that I make too much money, then fine...I'll quit and they can find someone else (maybe an illegal who can't speak English...after all, communication is a major part of the job) to take call every other week, be available on the weekends (even when not on call), work long hours without a break, be exposed to communicable diseases such as HIV, hepatitis C, ect., put up with incompitent surgeons, ect.
....after all, the goverments giving away free money.

Hmm... No doubt we've passed the point of TARFU and gotten to FUBAR. The biggest issue is, when are we going to say WE'VE HAD ENOUGH? I personally think that things are unconscienable, but hey - what's another pile of BS in the dump? The time to start over is here. Can we get rid all the extraneous red tape and the misanthropes who created it, and start over with the Constitution and Bill of Rights? If the Founding Fathers could see this mess, they'd be rolling in their graves. A special thanks goes out to FDR for starting this train wreck...

My personal favorite was Pelosi's 30 million to save a wood mouse in her district...its all so pathetic you gotta laugh ...otherwise well I dont even want to think about it..

[PJgunner]

I received an E-mail today with a video that's about two minutes and chnge in length dealing with a bill in the House granting amnesty to ALL illegal aliens. This bill will allow them stuff that we the people can't even get including not paying back taxes, total amnesty for illegal alien gangbangers and more. The Democrats want their guaranted voter base.
I don't know how to put it on here, but I feel it is important that this should be passed on.
If someone knows how to do this, E-mail me and I'll send it to you for posting.
I cannot express how much rage I felt when I saw this and there isn't a smiley strong enough to epress my feelings on what I saw and heard.

Hey Paul,
Why not just copy and paste in your response.

I just got out of the truck after hearing a Dem Congressman admit that the members of the House never even got to look at the new wording of the compromise portion for the 800 Billion bill was passed without them even reading the wording!!!!!

The house just pissed away 800 Billion and do not even know if they sold the farm or not. That to me constitutes a violation of their oath of office and any common ethic you can think of. No one in this country needs money enough to do something like that, no one. They signed you up to pay 800 Billion back and never read the note for you. Now I know exactly what being taxed without representation feels like, and I never even got kissed.

Ed

[Steverino]

Over 1,000 pages contained in that bill and Obama is rushing to get this bill passed before anyone has had full measure to read/review. This is as close to tax without representation in this modern age as I have seen. Downright scary...

[Rapier]

Steve,
Even if you are the most liberal person in this country, what happened should scare the crap out of you. Congress voting on (in mass) and passing a bill without ever reading what was in it. That is how people get to visit places like Dachau.

There is at least one provision that the senate stuck in at the last minute, a records keeping law that will affect your medical care. That law gives the feds control over your medical treatment, ala Britain or Canada and creates a new huge federal medical gang. Now it is just for information, without penalty, for non-compliance. But, hospitals and doctors have a license to practice and coercion is very simple. The effect of that law will be to determine what procedures are allowed based on expense. If you are 26 a transplant is not too expensive, but if you are over 50 a transplant is way to expensive. The camel has his nose under the tent.

WHAT'S THE RUSH?
"URGENT" $TIMULUS ON HOLD FOR BAM'S WEEKEND OFF

After pushing Congress for weeks to hurry up and pass the massive $787 billion stimulus bill, President Obama promptly took off for a three-day holiday getaway. Obama arrived at his home in Chicago on Friday, and treated wife Michelle to a Valentine's Day dinner downtown last night. The couple was spotted leaving upscale Table Fifty-Two, which specializes in Southern cuisine, with the first lady toting what appeared to be a doggie bag.

The president plans to spend the Presidents' Day weekend in the Windy City, and is not expected to sign the bill until Tuesday, when he travels to Denver to discuss his economic plan.

Both the House and Senate passed the bill Friday night.

The push to get the bill through before the holiday weekend was so frantic, members of Congress didn't have a chance to read all 1,071 pages of the document before they could vote.

"In a perfect world it would have been nice to have had more time to process it," said Ilan Kayatsky, a spokesman for Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

Meanwhile, Gov. Paterson called yesterday for fiscal restraint with the massive influx of federal aid. His budget office estimated that New York will receive $24.6 billion over the next two years, $4 billion more than first believed.
