You keep dreaming, philcski. Maybe someday you'll wake up and smell the coffee.

I'm done on this topic. Said all I have to say. To say anything more would be in defense of what I've said already, and I'm not into defending my opinions.

I've got some bigger things in my personal life that I have to attend to. I've been a member of this forum for nearly 4 years. I hardly ever post to it because frankly - 3/4's of the time I don't know what the heck people are talking about. It seems like a secret society, at times. And, analyzing all that's been said here, the same thing applies. I don't understand what a lot of people are saying, and they accuse me of the same.

The difference is - I couldn't care less. Right is RIGHT.

I shall drag my knuckles back to my cave and leave y'all with smart azz remarks to say in response. Some of you need the last word. I do not.

What am I dreaming about? What do I need to "wake up and smell the coffee" on?

Picture FROM TODAY!
Looks like China is ready to push the button

I am not accusing you of anything other than having misguided information, nor am I trying to get in a "last word". A lot of the stuff you have said just simply isn't true and I've given you the facts to dispute them, but you don't seem to care. You said you're an "informed voter" but then when presented with the facts you don't seem to digest them. It goes right back to what you want to believe.

Right is RIGHT alright- the extreme Right doesn't seem to listen or care to anyone else, even when presented with factual information that conflict their beliefs, just like the extreme Left.

Well,Philski, I hope you're right about the VAT not being passed. As far as America being socialist...it's not now but it's moving that way with the redistribution of wealth projects that Obama has going.
Oh, about China.....they don't have to attack us militarily...they just have to call in all our debt to them, and it's over.
About the healthcare reform and it's cost to us...if they indeed do start to count our insurance as wages or income, there will be no wiggle room at all for most people economically.

What 'redistribution of wealth projects' are you talking about, specifically?

Edit: I just re-read this thread (in general), comments about where the country is going, the President, etc. If you look for reality, fact, and take out all the "could, might, maybe, if's" ... there isn't alot left. Fear: it's what's for dinner in America.

You've heard about the US going after the people who have wealth amassed in other countries? The guy who heads this has said that this is an application of redistribution. I think I saw it on Drudge. I haven't found the specific link yet

Yes, the IRS going after US citizens hiding wealth or assets in other countries for the purposes of tax evasion was on all the major news orgs a week or two ago.

Please, bring that quote here. You are saying that the IRS head of this department actually said that?

There are links all over the internet news organizations regarding this. It was pretty well publicized.

OH. MAH. GAWD.

Timmi, do you have a Bermudan or Swiss bank account where you store all of your racetrack riches? Didn't think so.

This is NOT "redistribution of wealth". It's going after people that have used their economic status to cheat the system for many years, causing the rest of us to have to overpay in taxes. It's tax evasion, flat out illegal, yet for some reason has been semi-allowed for too long. Good for the government to finally say "enough".

i think it's great that they're going after scofflaws. i pay my taxes, why the hell shouldn't everyone else? tax dodgers and cheats get away with this, but the rest of us can't-or won't. you call it re-distribution, i call it tax evasion-and illegal.

If I think your house is on fire, I'm gonna tell you. People can add one problem or scenario together to find a possible unfavorable outcome. That's all
I'm sayin

I would prefer people only tell me my house is on fire when there's actual signs of smoke, flames, embers, the smell of burning ... not just when there are matches in the house

If one wants to discuss the potential fire safety hazards of matches, that's a good topic.

But the presence of matches not the same thing as the house being on fire.
