Don’t you realize that you are playing right into the hands of the power hungry politicians who seek to control you with an iron fist? Left wing, right wing, Democrat, Republican—it doesn’t matter. They are all the same. Birds of a feather seeking to control your mind and actions. Idiots who play into party politics—instead of dealing with real issues—are the big time losers!

How is taxing the AIG bonuses American?

bigwheels1031 asked:
I thought in capitalism you were allowed to do what you pleased with your money. AIG was not breaking any tax laws and was in the right to hand out bonuses. Why make new laws to make something perfectly fine illegal? This goes against the principles that make America the great country it is.

Something like “ignore politics and it will turn its back on you” something like that, I think it might have been at the end of the HBO movie Recount, but I can’t find it anywhere!
i’m not asking your opinions…I’m just trying to find this quote. I didn’t include my political views, what makes you think I want to know yours? If you don’t know the answer…no thank you.

racingdiego@sbcglobal.net asked:
Did I hear wrong? Or did Senator Charles Schumer (NY-D), threaten the bonuses of those AIG execs to “…we’re going to take it back by taxing them.” Is that ‘taxation without representation’? The reason why the colonies broke away from England?

You know in America, the Democrats are the “good” party, and the Republicans are the war-mongering, greedy party that sends jobs overseas. What are UK politics like? What are the main issues, and who takes what sides?
