If we plan this out to hold it a year we'll get our profits taxed as long term capital gains which will be at a lower rate than Warren Buffett's secretary!

What if I prefer to pay my fair share to my government to help keep our country safe and lend a hand to those who need it but feel like I pay a disproportinate share?

I consider it a privledge to pay my share but I am tired of paying other peoples share too.

No more babies around here but I do enjoy a good nap.

Answer 1: You're wrong.

Answer 2: Get over it. You need to pay more.

Well, off the whole thing before the Kenyan King is shown the door! Put solar panels on the damn things and dance around with them...they won't resist...add som rocket launchers to them and wear that bedsheet outfit you got and talk in the funny voice and you'll have the CIA or the AG's office eating out of your hands!

I have to admit, I was a Johnny Come-Lately to the whole Global Corporatist swindle, but damn...when you can catch them coming and going...yeah.

I gots my mind on my money and my money on my mind!

....and then someone would poop in a park and scream "DO OVER!"

Or sell you a VOLT!!!!!!#-o [whip] 🐴 [frypan] [ram27bat]

....then we create a shortage of pitchforks and torches because we're selling them all the the US military to give out in Uganda and the price for a set in the USA goes from $25 to $50 and the OWS protesters can't afford this until their next check from daddy. Then we demand a free trade agreement with Sri Lanka so we can increase manufacturing capability and drive prices down. While there producing more pitchforks and torches, we drill and discover oil which we sell to China.

Game on!

I would say that is a legitimate concern and one that I think everyone in the middle to upper middle class feel, including me. For example my house. It's a normal house, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, garage nothing fancy and 40 years old. Property taxes are @ 6,500. We don't have garbage pick up either, we use a private company.

There is much fraud and waste on that we can all agree. But the answer is not to dismantle our government and ignore the poorest, sickest and neediest amongst us at the expense of corporate interests and the wealthy feeling as if they are being 'punished'. We live in a supposedly civilized society where we all are supposed to have equal rights and an opportunity to succeed and now the rules have been written in favor of the powerful putting the rest of us at a disadvantage.

The answer isn't to give the 'job creators' even more breaks since that obviously hasn't worked over the last 30 years. It's time to try a new approach that focuses on the needs of the people. We have the resources, we have the power, we just don't have the will, or at least those who make the rules don't have the will. The powerful will never and have never given it up willingly. The people have always had to force them to give it up and it usually needs violence if history is any indication.

You have mentioned the OWS movement needs a leader. Those opposed to the movement love to say that because it would be much easier to focus on that one person, find flaws and just pick at that flaws over and over to dismiss the entire movement. People did that and continue to do that with MLK even. "Adulterer" "plagiarizer" anything to take the focus away from a righteous cause. To not put a leader forward is a brilliant move.

what's gonna happen when the OWSers find out Lydsay Lohan was taken back to jail in cuffs..?? 😕

oh the horror.... 😨

"Give" the job creators breaks hasn't worked but neither has "giving" anyone anything. Allowing the job creators to "earn" breaks by actually creating jobs is a different story and one that hasnt been tried before. Jobs first - breaks second. Once Americans are back to work contributing to the tax base then and only then "give" the job creators breaks.

Dude, this is hilarious. The 'news' article you posted was a report of someone else's report and rewritten so badly and with such a bias it's freakin hilarious. It leads you to believe things that the original article in wired never said.

Read your linked article first then the original.

I guess that would make it a "wag the poop in the park dog" operation.

Yes, yes it does. The original article never claimed that, showed evidence of it or even hinted at it. The entire insinuation that this Maher dude was involved with uprisings throughout the world is nonsense when he was said he was 'inspired' by the movement that over-threw Milosovitch, you know, the guy who died in the Hague? The second article makes it sound like this guy was over-throwing democracies all over the world or something when he had nothing at all to do with the start of this movement only as one of several inspirations with regards to peaceful tactics.

Get real he's a low level employee.

lmao, no, but the article you linked sure made it sound like he was now didn't it? Come back to reality with the sane people if you ever were here to begin with. We don't bite and we love to share.
