wonder if we can buy this bumper sticker? great! best so far…

You may not feel wealthy but statistically you are in the top 4% of the income scale. You chose your high cost of living environment. After all you could have set up shop in Harper’s Ferry or some other more remote DC bedroom community. You made a trade off, a closer higher-cost neighborhood for a shorter commute or for other amenities. You are doing a hell of lot better than those poor slobs trying to get by on a GS-4 or GS-5 salary and you’re a prince compared to person working a Walmart Job. (By the way those crap Walmart and Target jobs are another reason your tax bill is so high–if they paid fair wages you would not have to support those workers with WIC, Welfare, Foodbanks, Medicaid, rent support, etc,etc,etc)

You’re correct in one respect; George W. Bush did you no favors. The tax cut you got was chicken feed compared to land-office deal the top 1/2 of 1% got. His fat cat buddies made a killing and you are getting stuck with the bill. But I never heard a peep out of you nor any one else about how reckless Bush was being with his tax policies. The only time I heard you say much as boo about tax policy during the election was when you supported the Libertarian candidate for president.

At best Larry you performed a drive-by shooting of the Bush economic legacy. You had eight freeking years to bring it to your readers attention. Every time Bush put the Iraq war off budget you had a chance to point out the chicanery. Did you? I don’t remember you doing so. Lots of love for HRC was posted but very little about tax policy other to slag Obama and how clueless he was in your opinion.

But now that Obama is president you suddenly get religion Larry. Hallelujah! you have seen the light of fiscal responsibility as revealed by the Libertarian party! Of course serious Libertarians like Ron Paul are for the complete disassembly of the US forward position and for a huge cut in the Defense budget. Call it isolation 2.0 or the abandonment of US Hegemony. It at least is intellectually honest as it slashes one of the largest line items in the budget. If you truly want smaller government you got to take an ax to the military-industrial complex first.

Please clue me in Larry were you have ever argued for a more restrained military. Other than your opposition to the Iraq war where have you gone against the interventionist mind set of Washington? What weapon systems have you opposed? What cuts in force structure have you championed? Have you ever pondered the wisdom of having ten Aircraft carriers when we have not faced a credible blue-water threat since the Soviet Union shuffled off its mortal coil? Did I see any hand wringing by you or your posters when the Navy completely flat-dicked the LCS program? Did you or any of you regulars ever give a critical glance to sorry and sordid Osprey program – a billion dollar lead duck strapped around the taxpayers neck? Did you ever question the need for the absurd billion dollars a copy boomerang that was the B-2 bomber? Or what about the joint strike fighter. Its designed to fight who again? The Chinese? who are killing us by subjecting our economy to the death of a thousand cuts by selling crap to us at Walmart? They don’t need to send up war planes Larry all they have to do is dump our T-bills and we are totally screwed. We spend more on the military than the rest of the world combined Larry and we still get punked by a bunch of nihilist jerks hiding out in caves.

Larry I will believe that you and your are serious about government excess when you come to the table with some serious spending cuts in defense. Otherwise if we can pour billions of dollars into pointless military misadventures like Iraq and Afghanistan we can sure afford decent health care for our citizens. Actually we can no longer afford not to reform health care. Health care costs were a large part of what bankrupted GM and Chrysler. The foreign car makers had a $1,000 a car advantage thanks to their nationalized health care programs. (In the US they had the advantage of a very young work force and thus no legacy cost from pension programs. But that is another argument for another day.)

I will point out Obama is right about healthcare and for the most obvious reason that he mostly cribbed Hillary’s notes during the campaign. As Hillary’s program was a watered down version of what John Edwards offered you could say Obama is offering nothing more than a denatured version of Edwardscare. As healthcare costs keep sucking up more and more of our GDP we will sooner or later have to come to grips with it. It is definitely part of your huge tax bill in MD. Your coughing up major coin for all those uncovered ER bills. Pay now and pay less for a sane policy on healthcare or pay much more later for all the costs associated with our broken system. It is not really a question of what you or I or our posterity can afford Larry it is a question of the size of the bill and what we get for that money.

William Wallace: You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And, I go to make sure that they have it.

They are the LONE STAR STATE…and I appropiate that they threaten leaving the UNION if the Fedearal has Government has gone TOO FAR Imposging on STATES RIGHTS..

In This Case…Control of Money..Spending.abusing Free Interprise and Capitolism ..and the WHOLE Banking System..

NBow the Credit Unions better watch Out…

I was pround of the turn out by The General Public Toady..exercizing thier Constitutional Rights and Freedom of Speech…We have seen this before by other “FREEDOM MARCH” Groups..in the 60s and 70′s..

We know from Obamas background that He suports a Welfare and Socialist and associate with gfoups for many Years that Hatefully and bitterly Holds The white mans government and the White mans Systems and the Wealty to BLAME for OPPRESSION..of “Minoritys..

The same argument used by Marxixts in other Countrys to take over the governments..

Obamas COUP may have been Less Violent But it was a COUP..anyhow..

remarkable how 9/11 Gave bush His far Right wing Coup to play off of..

And the Financial Crash which Could also have been manipulated by Sourches in London..that gave Obama and even more far Reaching Far Left Wing Coup for the Obama administration to Play off of..

They are not being SHY about it…and pretty much what you would expect from someone Like obama with his background and Clearly stated POSITION of Domestice issues …followed by He Foreign Policy Demonstartions and posturing at the G=20 meeting..

it willo be interesting to see how the Obama Administration and various Agencys like DHS respond to todays Peaceful Prototests..

That response may Rachet up the tesion Significantly..and I’m gald there was a Clear Message sent today at thw TEA Partys..

I met thousands of people in their 70′s, and 80′s at the anti invasion marches who had not been out on the streets since the civil rights era. Thousands of Vets, blue collar workers, teachers etc etc. What pisses me off about this is not that these folks are out there marching but the lack of understanding that many of them seem to lack about just why they are out there

also what really pisses me off is the disproportionate amount of coverage that Fox hell not only Fox all of the groupthink MSM outlets who did not give the millions of middle class working Americans who marched their ever loving asses off before that illegal stinkin invasion of Iraq.

Get out on the streets hell participate. But do it in an informed way. Not because someone told you to be there, not because you are pissed off over the last eight years of madhouse and irresponsible spending. Do it when it matters not when a new president has a hell of a mess dropped in his lap. Do it when your own party is in there screwing up.

Otherwise the actions are so hypocritical they reek.
