Much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
ABC just reporting that Clitons support of Obamas stance on the tax “cuts” was effusive.
In other words Bill is begging the dems to take the deal.
These things are horrible at anytime let alone this time of year.
Oddly they often bring us closer.
My husband and his family buried his mother on 12/24.
It’s always bupkis to the working family.
I am so sorry.
I always say “speak of me in the same easy way, I am only in the other room”
It eases me to speak of the joy that has never left out hearts.
Remind him of the things his Mother loved at this time of year.
I know it must be difficult for him.
Who is this caller?
Do not worry about it, as long as the Mark Levin thread is up, that is the most important thing.
I am no constitutional lawyer but the intent of our founders was clear.
“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live.. We have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers. Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with penury, obscurity and exile.. private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance.
This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it’s train wretchedness and oppression.”
Thomas Jefferson on Public Debt And Taxation
I’m no expert on finance.
All I know is that you should keep your hands off the fruits of a mans labors and that public debt is a serious problem.
It’s hard enough to come to a reasonable conclusion about finances with your spouse.
Now Public debt adds jackles to the mix.
oh - that was a response to ‘who is this caller’ question
This is where we are America. Folks taking government jobs on the taxpayer dollar to tell other Americans how to live.
I figured as much.
Your right. Carry on.
I want a better burger
We have lost something in the franchise.
I cant get into a franchise for under 2 mil
And for some reason folks love them franchises. familiarity
I have had so many ideas for good places, but I dont have the money to float them through all the folks that go to the franchises because that is what they are familiar with.
I should have taken GWB’s deal on the free 75k for startups and bought an old house on the strip. Use the 75k to knock out walls, put in a kitchen, pave the yard and open a breakfast house
Buried my Father on 12/24... my sister in Germany decided not to come. She would have been on PANAM flight 103 (blew up over Lockerbee, Scotland) .. which would have made for an interesting Christmas.
