It's right there: STREISAND Alert.
"destruction to our environment"
See the threads on this issue:
Streisand Sues Environmentalist Photographer for Website Photo (of her seaside home)
I heard some of candidate/exploitation tv show host Jerry Springer on Alan Colmbs(sp?) radio show.
He said that "payroll taxes" (he means social security withholding) shouldn't have a cap at $89k earnings (although he seemed vague if he was still going to set a cap, it sounded like he might).
He said that he would use this "revenue" to offset monies not contributed by lower earning people. He wants to cut "payroll taxes" for the first $10-20k (maybe even eliminate them).
Watch for this to be the next DNC issue. They keep wanting to give "tax cuts" to people who pay no income tax.
The Rats will be hanging themselves with their own rope if they go down this route. It will expose Social Security for the sham it really is. People will be seen drawing out money that they never contributed to the program and those who pay higher levels in will be paying money that they will never be able to pull out.
It will just make it clearer what's been going on all along. Politicians have wrongfully claimed that SS is a "savings" plan, not a tax.
Yeah, it's amazing when you listen to snooty leftists "conservatives have ALWAYS been on the wrong side of civil liberties" "We believe in equality and fairness, I was raised a Democrat because OUR party supports civil rights for all Americans"
It's like these loonies are living in an alternative reality and have never read a history book. Perhaps they claim explain why the GOP immediately disowns ANY white-supermistist Klansman discovered in the party (see David Duke, who has now left the party in disgust-- good riddence) whereas the 'RAT party not only plays down the hate-crimes of white-supremist Klansman in the party, but EMBRACE them as "party leaders" and proclaim them the conciense of the Seante (see Hugo Black & 'Sheets' Byrd) Maybe they can explain why the 'RAT party has sent decades trying to dillute and splinter the black vote in their primary while Republicans have always encouraged blacks to vote in their primaries. Why Democrats appoint their RICH (I thought they hated "the rich") buddies to top positions and give token black officials third-tier jobs, whereas Republican adminstrations often appoint qualified blacks to the best positions. I could go on and on and on...
The media tends to omit the detail that David Duke ran as a Democrat (and I believe as a candidate in another party) before he ran as a Republican. I don't think it looks good on us that he got on the ballot as a Republican (can the party stop a potential candidate from running the primary?).
If people cross party lines to vote in the primary (like is permissible in Texas) it is possible to get some bad candidates in the general election (makes it easier to defeat them).
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........ do ya think so, Yentl? Gee, who could those people be???
