NO ONE ESCAPES taxes in one manner or another. NO ONE!
People who imagine others are missing out on ALL taxes in America are delusional and in serious need of medical help.
I'd let Michelle figure out how to answer the question about hidden taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, and the many hundreds of other taxes that are ever present eating out the substance of this country just to keep some fat cat school superintendent in office another month before he retires at 10 times his agreed upon salary.
I'm sure she can do it if she puts her mind in gear, but she seems stuck on this "SOMEBODY'S NOT PAYING TAXES I CAN SMELL THEM" ~ which is so typical of a professional IRS agent.
Probably not officially, but proof of citizenship will probably not be required, allowing illegal aliens to take part in the system. An amendment requiring proof of citizenship to partake in Obamacare was one of many that was repealed.
Cain goes 9-9-9 again...his answer for everything..even the 14th Amendment...
Remember the old rhyme?
I don’t get to blow the whistle
I don’t get to ring the bell
But when the train jumps the tracks....
Guess who catches HELL???
He would be great if being POTUS only involved debating.
Lol. Some forms of attention are a little uncomfortable!!
Honestly, I see strengths and weaknesses in all the candidates, but I also know that any one of them would do a better job that what this country is presently dealing with - team Obama.
I dont like Ron Paul, but please Ron, dont make me hate you by going to the “minorities dont get a fair shake in the courts” crappola.
So why hasn’t Perry stopped the Mexican Cartels, and the Mexican Police, and the Mexican Military from coming across the border?????????
Perry just bitch slapped Pooter.
This audience is clearly for Romney - they boo every time Romney is attacked.
“Didn’t that sniveling little homo Cooper coin the teabagger phrase?”
No, that was DAILY KOS.
But it’s funny how so much from Daily kos becomes the “Accepted” meme among today’s largely gay National MEdia, isn’t it.
Perry is first to slap Anderson — you can ask your question and I’ll answer like I want to.
Still supporting Cain, but that raised you in my eyes.
The Yuma section has worked very well.
perry
cheap shots and argumentative.
Yeah, I noticed that Cain has backed away from a fence along the whole border, now a fence or sensors and boots on the ground.
true, but they have a larger Californian population
