bebe53, I fail to see how Obama has control over that.
.
On a related note... if it's broke, Republicans think the POTUS broke it. If it's fixed, the POTUS and his fellow Democrats claim he fixed it.
.
We sure like to give a lot of credit (good and bad) to the POTUS, don't we?

donnaw, drop the friggin' jealousy crap. I'm do damned tired of that rhetoric. I don't need a boat or plane to make me happy. I just think we should be taxed at least equally.
.
And, youkillme, I agree with closing loopholes. But you're suggesting a single-pronged approach. I think we need to attack from all angles: Reduce spending, close loopholes, fairness in tax rates.

"it's the clear difference between liberals and conservatives."
.
I'm not so sure the difference is that clear. Unfunded wars... Bush tax cuts. How were those cutting down spending again?
.
I'm not disagreeing that spending is certainly a problem and has ballooned under Obama. But it's not the only problem.

Here's a thought. If you want to means-test entitlements, let's do the same with capital gains. Business who use the capital to create jobs get taxed at the current rate. Individuals (multi-millionaires) who stash the cash or buy luxury jets and yachts, you get taxed at 30%.

I agree with tax reform. I agree with means-testing for entitlements. But why do my wages get taxed at a higher rate than capital gains? Yes, investments are very important to keep the country running. Guess what... so are the middle class wage-earners.

Science is based on fact, while religion is based on faith. They are not interchangeable, nor are they interoperable. Faith does not belong in science anymore than facts belong in religion.
.
It seems perfectly valid to me, that someone could "believe" something to be true, despite scientific evidence to the contrary. Just don't tell me you "know" this to be true, since that would be mixing faith and fact.

Ah, but that doesn't sell newspapers, 3children. Controversy and sensationalism do. Haven't you seen Fox News and MSNBC lately?

Hey frogger, she's 4. She can cry if she wants to. That's why it's cute. If she were, say, 14, I think the story would be different.
