Here are some quotes somebody sent to me. They could be funny if they were not so true.In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.John Adams ***** If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.Mark Twain ***** I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.Winston Churchill ***** A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.George Bernard Shaw ***** A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.G. Gordon Liddy ***** Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian ***** Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850) *****Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few shortphrases:If it moves, tax it.If it keeps moving,

regulate itAnd if it stops moving, subsidize it.Ronald Reagan (1986) ***** I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.Will Rogers ***** If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!P.J. O'Rourke ***** Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.Anon ***** The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings.The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.Winston Churchill ***** A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.Thomas Jefferson

What they'll say is, "Well it costs too much money," but you know what? It would cost, about... It -- it -- it would cost about the same as what we would spend... It... Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us... (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We're going to... It... It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about -- hold on one second. I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up, though. I'm glad.

Pottsie, you have made it abundantly clear to anyone reading these boards that you are as crazy as a ****house rat. You do not care about facts or reality, you whine relentlessly, and are on these boards 24/7.

You are a joke.
