#3 losing to the #4 isn't the end of the world, the season is young, there could still be upsets in the future.

What is a fair flat tax rate? I am pretty sure most of you would probably pay more in taxes with a flat tax than what we currently have in place. This is any scenario like Libertopia where we get rid of the government.

What if she blew cigarette smoke in her kid's face? Some how I doubt she'd be facing a year.

Way to leave out all the Coke snorters Sly... Here's a code from a 2-liter: 67MVPMK KTW94FT

Social security holds domestic debt, essentially an investment in the US. They do not directly fund other programs, that is up to the Goverment to decide. I am sorry I have to rehash this too, but it's not just "social programs" that "waste money". Goverment is free to chose what they want to...

Yes, which Social Security has a lot to do with, a system that has been fully funded(w/ surplus) from it's own tax. Now if we want to talk about squandering that surplus, then yes there's a point to be made. If we want to talk about SS possibly needing adjustments in the future, yes that too can...

Well, I guess insurance can't work either under your logic. The idea that people contribute to a pool of money, some of whom will not receive full or any benefit from is ludicrous! Almost as ludicrous as saying that someone who's paid into something is getting it for free.

So when someone dies anything bad they did doesn't matter anymore? Hatfield was a mixed bag, he had some good & some bad. But yes he did have issues with taking "gifts" & getting special treatment from entities that he helped out. He also built a pork dam project which wasted a bunch of money...

Didn't he get in trouble for sexual harassment? Edit: That was Packwood, my bad... Hatfield took bribes, but did not sexually harass.

Ask maxiep. Solutions are not always simple. Politics is complicated. You have your constituents, your donors & your party to answer to. Usually your donors & your party are well above your constituents. Who makes up a lot of the donors? Private entities who want something in return & given...

You're the one saying that people are expecting someone else to pay for their lifestyle after paying into a system for 3 - 4 decades of their life... Seriously...

Some how I doubt that the young generation is going to get angry at their grandparents who have paid into the system for 3 - 4 decades, rather more anger is directed at the hoarders of wealth, oh wait, "Job Creators", my bad.

The Volt has sold 3 of every 4 produced so far. The Toyota Prius sold about 5800 units in it's first year in North America, the Volt is about half way there at 2870, half way through the year. It is currently in a sort of build-on-demand model, in fact no Volts were produced in June 2011. It...
