Bigmack's JournalHas there ever been an analogous situation...
.... a possible/probable shutdown over a law already passed and OKd by the Supremes?
By either party?
Anytime..? If the Dems have done it, I can stand hearing it.
(Sorry if this is in another discussion... I've been fishing pretty solid for the last 2 days.)
Tax experts... How can the Walton's inherit....
... all that money and not pay giant taxes?
How can they pass it on without paying giant taxes?
Yes.. I know they have tax lawyers and loopholes and all that, but... shit!... $6 Billion is a lot of lettuce to pass on. Can't the rest of the country get some of it back?
A broader question, of course, is why do we call the old lady with the 137 cats crazy, and the old guy with 527 wrecked cars in his field a nutjob, but money-hoarders who couldn't possibly spend a tenth of their money are cultural heros to many?
Can anybody explain to me the outrage...
... from the RW about Obamacare.
I have - foolishly - tried to answer FB posts and newspaper LTTE comments about Obamacare.
They use words like "freedom" and "socialized medicine"... so I know they are idiots.
But... what are the reasonably sane opponents of Obamacare saying is the problem? Lower premiums? Coverage for kids..?
I don't get it.
For the record, I'm a single-payer fan, and I'm on Medicare, so I don't personally have a dog in this fight... except that I want health care for Americans.
