You mean so they can do it again before the elections so they can try and use it against Obama.

Hah, I knew he was full of shit when he said Obama moved the goal posts. Boehner is a terrible Speaker of the House. He should go back to being an Oompa Loompa.And now we know why the Debt Talks have stalle donce again: Boehner add the Healthcare Reform mandate be repealed as a demand at the last second.
As an Ohioan, I am furious that this asshole was EVER elected. He's willing to throw his own constituents under the bus to appease his backers.

In a recent report in a JP Morgan memo to their investors from Michael Cembalest, the chief investment officer he says, “US labor compensation is now at a 50-year low relative to both company sales and US GDP.” Cembalest continues to explain why corporate profits are so strong while the rest of the working class are feeling the pinch, “reductions in wages and benefits explain the majority of the net improvement in margins.” 75% of the increase in profit margins directly correlate with the reduction in workers’ wages.
The reason for their speculation are that only Soros has the access, money and history to pull all this together. Yes, it's speculation, but it's pretty logical assumptions.Sorry, but the rampant speculation in that article is pretty disgusting. If it is true, obviously it is a horrible thing. The "if it is true" part is what I'm stumbling on. They really didn't present a strong case for it.
Clearly George Soros orchestrated the assassination of JFK in order to set the stage that would allow an African Communist Islamofacist turn the US into an economic wasteland so that he could be rich.I look at that conspiricy and I just think, if they want me to take it seriously it needs to be really out there. I want assassinations. I want major government cover ups. I want George Bush personally involved. I want it all tied in to the fake moon landing and JFK.
Call me when they start getting serious.

Read between the lines, man. READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Government sucks because people are assholes?! Who knew...I'm still busy as all hell with the work shenanigans, but I'll just pop in and remind everybody of one of the reasons why government sucks.
Or, I guess, to put it another way, "governments ARE people, themselves largely ungoverned," right?Government sucks because people are assholes?! Who knew...
Good thing everything else doesn't require people not to be assholes to work...
"It would be hilarious" would be the justification I would use for everything if I was a dictator. "Wait, you want him to wear a fur-lined, rubber coated chicken suit all summer in Texas? For jaywalking?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because," I would say, a smile cracking across my face, "It would be hilarious."The government should deport people who don't pay their taxes for two reasons 1. why pay for jail for people who don't pay their taxes and 2 it would be hilarious.
I guarantee you, there is not just "one story" about a government bureaucrat abusing their power. To assert such is hopelessly naive at best, and intellectually dishonest at worst.I was once bitten by a dog. Therefore all dogs should be killed.
I was once cut off by a guy driving a Ford truck. Clearly people who drive Ford trucks can't be trusted.
I once read a story about a rude government worker. Obviously every government worker is mean and incompetent, so we should remove the government.
No, I get that. But there are thousands of stories of dogs biting people, and thousands of stories of people being cut off on the road. Does that mean all dogs and drivers are bad?I guarantee you, there is not just "one story" about a government bureaucrat abusing their power. To assert such is hopelessly naive at best, and intellectually dishonest at worst.
As I said before to @Li3n (and yes I had to copy-paste that rot to get it right), the difference here is that the nature of government is that we implicitly give it permission to fuck our life if it wants to. Hundreds of dogs may bite people a day, but that's apples and oranges because a dog is a dog and a government is a government and dogs who bite get put down (usually by government). The abuse of power by a government powermonger need to be a BFD because otherwise freedom is an illusion, and the government that gives itself the ability to fine you $500 a month for obeying a conflicting government statute that actually could be argued to make sense... is not so far away from a government that can do a whole lot worse.No, I get that. But there are thousands of stories of dogs biting people, and thousands of stories of people being cut off on the road. Does that mean all dogs and drivers are bad?
My point is that the thousand stories you can come up with do not accurately represent the millions of times people interact with government workers every day. When was the last time you read about a clerk in a city office helping a guy out, or a police officer talking to a driver who's having a bad day and letting him off with a warning? You don't, partially because no one bothers to talk about the numerous times something good happens and partially because those don't fit into your argument.
EDIT: So before you pat yourself on the back for writing me off as naive and intellectually dishonest, consider that you instead have a particular agenda, and that you're ignoring contradictory evidence.
Gas makes hot sweaty love to the slippery slope fallacy. mmm hawt.As I said before to @Li3n (and yes I had to copy-paste that rot to get it right), the difference here is that the nature of government is that we implicitly give it permission to fuck our life if it wants to.

Yes, assholes are everywhere and are in everything... but government empowers the asshole to remove your ability to remove him from your life.
Imagine a messageboard where you were forced to read every single post I make whether you were even interested in the topic or not.
Slippery slope? More like slippery curb. It's not that far a fall.Gas makes hot sweaty love to the slippery slope fallacy. mmm hawt.
