Reply to Illegal income and the IRS in Politics JoeUser Forums

yeah...what's your point? from straight dope.com IRS has been listing "embezzled or other illegal income" for years, but they don't really expect the nation's criminals to comply. It's just that income-tax evasion is often the only thing prosecutors c

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose -- and you allow him to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, t

that 5.6% unemployment rate is spin. clinton had at the start of his presidency MUCH higher than 5.6 unemployment and it went DOWN to 5.6. bush had lower than 5.6% and then it went UP to 5.6. take a look at this graph to see what i mean: graph .

ok kharmagirl, they both mention the 50 cent gas increase, that sounds pretty similar to me. so i am going on the assumption that the newsletter (which i don't have) said something similar. from the calculator (which you say has the same info as the newsletter): John Ker

i am not sure if the same gas tax is talked about but without seeing your bush campaign email: factcheck.org : A Bush ad released March 30 attacked Kerry for once supporting the "wacky" idea of raising the gasoline tax by 50 cents per gallon. That was a deca

Reply to What caused the recession? in Politics JoeUser Forums

the recession start date is in dispute. the NBER(a non partisan organization that is usually the one that people depend on to "declare" a recession) originally said it started a short time after bush was president. bush's economic advisors claim it started before. NBER is currently reviewing the data. not sure if it has said anything new. spinsanity.org <TABLE cel

Guys like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and the king Rush Limbaugh are undisputed in their arenas. They motivate and inform the faithful and the unsure alike.

seriously, i don't think insulting the man is doing anyone any favors. if someone doesn't know who he is reads this they will think you're the bad guy. at the least, avoid the insults and explain why you dislike him. i don't like his past opinions (and think they are wrong), and i know i won't like his other ones, so i just don't read his easily identifiable all-caps titled articles. people who read his stuff will figure out on their own what
