Soul... Obama won't buy you chemo. sorry.
Sen. Barack Obama has a problem. And it lives in a hut.
His name is George Hussein Onyango Obama, and he is the 26-year-old half brother of Mr. Obama, the multimillionaire autobiographer who neglected to write that his paternal sibling lives on less than a dollar a month in the outer slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

What policies of Obama do you support, which will make this country better?
Do you think taxing anyone who makes 250,000 dollars or more at a higher rate will make things better? When business owners, companies, and small business owners have less money because they are paying more in taxes, they will pass the cost along to the consumers, and if that fails, they will have to fire people. When people are fired, there are less people to buy the products in the first place. Raising on taxes on the people who provide the jobs for Americans just furthers to destroy the economy not to help mend it.
Do you think taxing oil companies will work? When you tax an oil company, you make them less likely to trade in your country, like what happened under Jimmy Carter (by doing what Obama plans on doing) oil companies decide hey.. lets sell our oil to companies that don't want to tax us so highly and make more money for doing so, So they sold the oil to other countries which made America.. have a shortage in gas wow.
The point is you don't understand simple economics, and you even seem to agree with me that the people at the DNC looked like the homeless people that your city was supposed to buy movie tickets for. That is because, those people are the dregs of society, the useless, the people who rely on people like me to pay for their welfare.5:royst> i was junior athlete of the year in my school! then i got a girlfriend

It's also hilarious to call Mccain the lesser of the two evils, it shows no real understanding of the candidates or the issues at hand.
Anyway that was a lot of me griping about the media that I really didnt intend, but my point was that you'd have a hard time being a "sheeple" and still voting for mccain. I would venture as far as to say that with the way that it is now "cool" to be voting for obama if you were to vote for mccain you would really be the informed one
haha way to ignore the whole bulk of my other post though
oh god, i see wark has sparked the 'debate' that is about to come: "well they have enough money to give away they dont need all those millions and millions I should get all that money because I work every day!"I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan

He's talking about the American family and the general concern for another human being not being given the same rights and respect as every other American citizen.

Originally posted by kthx View PostNo, it doesn't work because people who start a business and make money off of it, deserve to keep it, who the fuck is anyone to say that someone makes too much money? That is America and always has been America. Do you know why these people are successful.. because they work hard, but some people would rather not work hard and live off the people who do. Nobody wants to share the money they make with people because that is COMMUNISM, and America is not a communist nation. COMMUNISM fails because if everyone makes the same amount of money and shares from the national pot, then why would you even try to be better than anyone else? Competition, such as America's free market is what makes America the best country in the world. Competition is why we are more technologically advanced, why we have the highest standard of living in the world, why we aren't a poverty stricken third world country. It doesn't take much more than common sense to realize this, and realize the primary flaw in Obama's way of thinking.5:royst> i was junior athlete of the year in my school! then i got a girlfriend

Competition doesn't really advance technology, mutually assured destruction can spur advancements but I would argue we've accomplished more in the last 20 years then we have in last the century. The sharing and proliferation of information and technology can advance our knowledge and better our world. Scientific discoveries and knowledge is not for the privy of one nation.

As for you fit of rage, if you had any clue what you were talking about you would know that what Obama is suggesting borders CLOSELY on communism, even if it isn't full blown. And many small business owners make around a quarter of a million a year, that isn't even that much money honestly. And yes they will be taxed more, and yes they will have to fire employees and raise costs of their products and services. And who really cares if Oil companies make 5000 trillion dollars a year, honestly? They made the technology to drill for the oil under the ground, after scouting out the area and finding that there was oil to drill there. After that they sucked up the oil, they get the oil refined into numerous products, and then they are in charge of shipping the gas and other products to the hundreds of thousands of gas stations in the country so that you can drive to work every day. What did you do to deserve any of the money that they spent billions upon billions of dollars to mine, refine, and transport? The US government gets 49 cents out of every gallon you put in your car, and they didn't do shit for it. Your state government gets 13-15 cents out of every gallon you put in your car. Maybe you should wonder why government makes 65 cents on every gallon of gas in America when they don't do anything for it. Of course, its much easier to just listen to an idiot speak and tell you how big business is ruining this country.Rabble Rabble Rabble

I'm sure I have long lost relatives all over the place. Ireland, Scotland, England and maybe even the rest of Europe, not counting the ones I know about on my Dad's side. Would I care to bring any of them home for dinner? Would you bring home a stranger you know nothing about, have no relevant experiences with besides the fact that you share some DNA? And who says he doesn't care, maybe he will contact that person I don't know. Obama didn't have such a good relationship with his father so I am guessing he wouldn't want to contact people of his family, just the same I have no strong attachments to my Father's family many of whom live abroad.
I never said that nuclear technology should be shared with anyone or that we should help in spreading it. Google "how to build a nuclear weapon". The tools and parts to construct such weapons is a different matter entirely. The USSR and the United States were looking to advance their technological superiority so one could, in the likely event at the time one attempted to destroy the other, the attacking party would not stand to live, or shortly thereafter their skin would be melting. This is mutually assured destruction, competing with the mind set of not doing so equals death. That is not competition that we have today in a free market scenario.Last edited by Kolar; 08-31-2008, 02:22 AM.
