Open Question: What makes republicans think dems. are against people being rich?
I just saw a question that assumes this. We have many rich people like Oprah, Buffet, Ted Turner, Gates, Hollywood & we all want to rich. We support the poor in this country cause we are for equal opportunites for all. Most poor people do not even vote. I know I grew up around poor people & they don’t have cable & don’t have the time to worry about politics. They need to relax when they get home from work…..so please tell me if you believe dems are against rich people why do you think this…….I am agaist them not having any competition. I would like to have a health insurance company that could sell me health insurance for less than $1200 a month why shouldn’t the gov. offer that?….I would love to buy my auto insurance from an agency where the owner doesn’t make half a million dollars a year so I could actually pay people a decent amount but also pay a decent amount for my insurance…………….don’t we all want fairness?
Slip: this is why we want to tax the rich. They make all that money off of everyone so they should pay higher taxes so the working class who might not even be able to to pay $7 still gets to pay less on their taxes. Plus, the poorer guy who doesn’t even have a car to see Springsteen benefits.

Resolved Question: What would you be saying if President Palin had done what President Obama has done to date?
President Palin’s First 100 Days

WASHINGTON (AP) — The first 100 days of the Palin presidency, according to a consensus of media commentators, have proven a near disaster. Perhaps it was Palin’s scant two years’ experience in a major government position that has eroded her gravitas, or maybe it was her flirty reliance on looks and informal chit-chat. In any case, the press has had a field day, and it is hard to see how President Palin can ever recover from the Quayle/potatoe syndrome. Here is a roundup of this week’s pundit mockery.

LET THEM EAT MOOSE
“Ted Stevens may have gotten off,” wrote Bob Herbert in the New York Times, “but he taught our Sarah something first — like using $100-a-pound beef for her state dinners. And what’s this $50 mil for her inauguration gala? Since when do you fly in your favorite pizza-maker from across the country on our dime? Or send the presidential 747 for a spin over the Big Apple for a third-of-a-million-dollar joyride? Does Palin think she’s still in Alaska and has to have everything flown in from the South 48 by jumbo jet?”

WASILLA CHIC
Also in the Times, Gail Collins weighed in on the already-tired yokelism of the new commander in chief. “What we’re getting is Wasilla chic. That’s what we’re getting. She arrives in the Oval Office, and first thing sends back Blair’s gift of the Churchill bust as if it’s a once-worn Penney’s outfit. Then she gives the Brits some unwatchable DVDs as a booby prize — as if she idled the old Yukon and ran into Target’s sale aisle. Did Sarah send Bristol into Wal-Mart back in Anchorage for that ‘engraved’ iPod for the queen? And what’s this don’t-bow-to-the-queen stuff, but curtsy for a Saudi sheik? Maybe that explains why she brags to Stephanopoulos about her ‘Muslim faith.’ So far, the best things going for her are Todd’s biceps.”

IT’S THE MATH, STUPID!
“Well,” lectured Paul Krugman, again in the Times, “we were worried that they didn’t teach math at Idaho U., and now we know for sure they don’t. Is it $1.6 trillion, $1.7 trillion, or $2 trillion in red ink this year? Are we supposed to be impressed that she offers ‘fiscal sobriety’ by cutting 0.003 percent of the budget? She gives out money to those who don’t pay taxes and calls it a tax cut. And now Queen Sarah tells us that in four years she’ll ‘halve’ the deficit, as if she hasn’t borrowed another $5 trillion in the meantime. Does she think we’re morons? How many ‘Drill, baby, drill!’ oil wells can she tap into up there in Alaska to pay for the extra $11 trillion in debt she’s saddling us with?”

WORSE THAN ‘NUCULAR’
ABC’s Katie Couric summed up the general disappointment with the president’s communication skills. “I tried to warn the American people in that interview a few years back what they would get if they voted for her. Let’s face it: She’s a walking embarrassment. I mean just count ’em up: The mayor of Wasilla thinks Austrians speak some lingo called ‘Austrian.’ Then she tries her hand at Spanish and comes up with some concoction, ‘Cinco de Cuatro.’ Next thing she’ll walk into the window of the Oval Office and expect it to open — oops, she’s already done that. No wonder that when her Teleprompter stalls, she shuts her mouth until it catches up. I’m surprised she managed to get sworn in. And did she think that tasteless ‘Special Olympics’ slur was funny? Or making fun of octogenarian Nancy Reagan’s séances? No wonder Wanda Sykes feels at home.”

ANCHORAGE STYLE
A “dragon lady in heels” is what President Palin is, according to the NYT’s Frank Rich. “Don’t fall for this pageant nice-girl stuff. Our former beauty queen is a ward hack. Look at her nominations. Can’t Palin find anyone who has paid his taxes — or do they simply ignore that stuff in no-tax Alaska? Does ‘No more lobbyists’ mean ‘More lobbyists than ever’? Her chief performance overseer doesn’t perform too well herself — and, like Daschle, Geithner, and the rest, skips out on her taxes. When Palin brags about fiscal sobriety, it really means record deficits. In Sarahland, not wanting to take over banks and car companies translates into, ‘She already has.’ Highest ethical standards equates to ‘There are none.’ Calling herself the VA president means she’s just told vets to use their own health insurance.”

GUTTER TRASH
“Pretty crude, pretty petty,” Sally Quinn sighed in the Washington Post. “No manners at all. Does our new mom in chief think it’s neat to laugh when her court jester at the correspondents’ dinner calls Michael Moore a traitor and a terrorist — and hopes he dies of kidney failure? Is that funny? Ask those on dialysis. Is that what Alaskan hockey moms do — scream out at every talk-show host who hurts their itty-bitty feelings? Limbaugh, Hannity — who will it will be next? Poor old Jim Cramer?”

NEOCON CON
“She’s a Bush clone,” the Times’s Maureen Dowd chimed in. “Bush is out, Palin is in — but we keep getting renditions, military tribunals, wiretaps, e-mail intercepts, Predator drone e

Resolved Question: Do I really owe my father much respect?
Yeah, sure, he helped give birth to me. After that, it was about it.

My mom is only married to him for his life insurance (over a million dollars) and the fact he’s making a lot of money.

He treats her like shit, and he treats me even worse. Yesterday my mother was getting a tumor removed from her uterus and guess what? He shows up at the hospital drunk after my mom begged him to not go out and get wasted before her surgery.

He is usually drunk on holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and MOTHER’S DAY. How does he repay my mother for giving birth to two girls? He goes out and gets wasted and torments her when she comes home.

He’s barely ever around and he believes he has a right to try and raise me after my mother has already done the job. If my mother asks him to do something, my dad always pushes the work on my sister and I so he can lay around and get drunk some more.

He says it was a horrible mistake marrying my mother, he’s told me that since I was about 4! I’m 15 now! He tells me that I’m greedy and lazy and he doesn’t know how me and him are related. He enjoys making my mother, sister, and me upset.

My mom’s mother though says I should respect him anyways, after he’s put her family through shit. I don’t see why I should pay him much attention anymore.

He’s texting me and trying to guilt trip me, complaining that my mother is mad at him for showing up at her hospital bed DRUNK!

I really don’t feel much sympathy or respect for him, and honestly, why should I? Sure he provides money, and he’ll be providing much more when the alcahol kills him, but really, what much else has he done?

My mother has been stressed to the max these past few years, and she’s brought me up fine. She always has a meal fixed for me, she praises me constantly, and she helps me earn money through ebay.

Is there much else a reason I should respect my dad? I can’t stand living with him, he won’t stop drinking, I don’t know what I should feel about him. He’s AN ASS.
Sorry this is more of a rant than a question, but I really don’t know how to feel about my father!
