Calif* taxed food during the 1st savings & loan collapse to keep housing afloat. It's nothing new.

Poor Americans.
They will be taxed until they have no money left... and then the taxman will charge their CC accounts to collect a tax from future earnings from employment which they don't have yet.
And if ones existing CC accounts are drawn to the limit, taxman will helpfully open new for him/her and charge them to the limit to collect more tax etc.

And there will be no functional services left, only taxes to maintain them.
And there will be a 100% tax on all food spending, unless you are on food stamps - if so, then your food will be free.

Unlimited taxing freedom in land of the free.
Hey, if I am an American, I would study to become a taxman.

It will be interesting in 2012 to see what the Dems have to say about why we're in so much financial trouble. After all, since their (general) view of economics is taxes=nirvana, we should be in the chips by then.

By the way, I'm a moderate libertarian who voted for Obama, so don't assume this is Fox News ultra right wing ranting -- it is an observation from someone who wanted change, not tons more government.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rangerone314', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Olaf', 'S')o much lawyer hate. Hate a lack of integrity in everything, but it is just too easy to hate lawyers by putting them into a category like that. Races and religions get put there too. Lawyers suck until you need one.

I am not a lawyer, but did almost go to law school many years ago.

There has to be a set of rules by which people live their lives, a set of consequences for people who break the rules, and a system for insuring the the innocent are protected.

That requires lawyers, unfortunately.

I love your guys anecdotal stories of firemen getting paid 100,000 + year or sixty five million fire trucks sent for a small house fire.
