An excellent lesson in wealth distribution

[mhall]

I have a daughter in college thank God I rubbed off on her enough to not be like minded with most young people.

I still say the only way you should be able to vote if you are less than 25 years of age is if you are being shot at in a foreign country.

And of course it's not the same. It's also a lot different if you were to ask Blinkin Nancy and that Yard Noem Harry Reid to give up some of their salary and perks to.

Thank you for providing the link. Basically, the national debt isn’t just the government’s concern. When the government goes into the red, they use your money, taxpayers’ money, to handle the mounting costs, which are already prohibitive. Indeed, one of the most talked about debatable issue has been the mounting of national debt, and a popular sentiment on how to fix it is to begin taxing the rich at a higher rate. A majority of Americans support that idea including the students, according to various polls. Politico.com says most polls reveal that 50 to 70 percent of respondents usually are in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy. However, the wealthy make up a tiny part of the American populace. To add, America's Aug. 2 debt ceiling deal released $2.4 trillion in spending cuts but tax hikes apparently were not kosher, despite what some claim is a desperate need. According to The Economist magazine, this is as the common American citizen - a large voting constituency - fears the poor being brought near their own economic level, a “last-place aversion”.

I was just trying to make her feel welcome. I can get down and dirty with any of you guys but I think everybody has a right to their own opinion, however misguided, lol...

If you're here because you BELONG here.......fine, but if you're posting here just to be posting here......then there are plenty of other bs political boards for you to spew your garbage.

Most folks here are fisherman, hunters, sportsman FIRST..and just so happen to post on the OT board about politics, obama, sports, UL, UL, Indiana or whatever........but if you're here JUST to bash PUBS, then LEAVE.

NO NEED for you here.

Later,

Geo

Its sad man , You can spew it but when some disagree's you get paranoid. Your pure hate unfornuately shadows your reasoning some what . Of course thats just my biased democratic left leaning opinion.

Geo you are way outa line here this time. She has every right to be on this board, the last time I checked we still had FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND FREE SPEECH, but sometimes others want to take that away when they DO NOT AGREE with what you say. The remarks you made were very hateful and SEXIST. Not the MORAL thing to do, just saw u post about morals, kinda hypocrytical isnt it? The main thing that is wrong in this country is POLITICS. period. We should as a country work together to get these problems solved, but when some are so set in their ways and ideas and thinks that they are the only ones right, both sides mind you, then nothing will get done, so lets just go ahead and bash others and put down others and contionue to work AGAINST each other so nothing gets done.

It was meant to be extreme....this person posted to specifically bait folks. Personally, I'm not too down with that.

This is the primary place I visit and post........I have some other boards, but this the only one I use for OT stuff......ONLY ONE.....

I have no enemies hear, at least I think I don't but it really HONKS me off when someone posts a SINGLE POST and is directly meant to bait folks. Yea, it was way over the line.

Like I said.......it was meant to be.

Sorry,

Geo

Must have not been to out of the line, at least not in the opinion of the moderators of this board anyway. I know from past experience the mods on this site do a pretty good job of keeping the conctent G-Rated and filter out the B.S. pretty quick.

As for the troll comment....Bingo!! One post on a fishin' website and it has nothing to do with fishing? B.S.!!

Great posts Geo!

Geo, the ironic thing is, I'm 99% sure your sexist post was directed toward a spambot.
