I don't like where this is going. I envy the American's current government. I can't fathom why they would be upset with it. | ||

Happy endings are already illegal in every state, including las vegas, nevada. I know I been there and the fucking sheriffs showed up saying no happy endings allowed because I didn't give the taxi cab driver his 60$ cut on the happy ending. So he calls up the law enforcement cause he ain't getting his cut. mother fuckers just make everything illegal, seriously, hate this country. fucking nationalize fractional reserve banking, leeching off everybody like a big fucking samurai sword across the dick with no happy ending. | ||

(Infringing on pursuit of happiness) in this extreme situation. According to the conservative Heritage Institute, 28%. This conservative webiste estimates 30.4% which is the lowest since 1976. http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/downchart_gr.php?year=1950_2010&chart=F0-total&units=p You might say that this is still "too high!" and you are entitled to your opinion. However, claiming that taxes have recently increased or that they are abnormally high is a contradiction of the facts, and you are not entitled to your own version of reality  | ||

In all honesty, Tea Party members winning in GOP primaries is better for the Democratic party. You've got people like Christine O'Donnell who basically is too far right for any moderate of any stature to vote for her. She doesn't even have a platform. She just asked people to vote for her. Then you've got people like Sharon Angle who believes in the full on elimination of Social Security forever. Is anybody going to really vote for someone like that? I mean sure you have some people like Rand Paul who might have a chance, but the only thing that's going to go well for the Tea Party is that they're up against incumbents that have not generated good support from the American people. | ||

I was under the impression that they were just the mainstream GOP these days as everything they've said lines up with 99% of the Republicans that I know. The "Tea Party" confuses everybody. On the one hand, you have a lot of the libertarian, mind-our-own-business, limit bureaucracy/make it work right, crowd that followed Ron Paul two years ago. On the other hand, you have a lot of the old Religious Right, who also tend to be small government but are on the whole more moralistic and militaristic. On the other other hand, you've got a bunch of strict constructionists who would like a lot of the modern bureaucracies taken apart because they're not clearly constitutional. On the other other hand, you have the crowd that pays too much attention to Beck and Rush without thinking about things. Then, since all of these bits and pieces have tended to be part of the Republican party for the last twenty years or so (at least), you have all the Republicans who are piling on what they see as a bandwagon in order to get elected. I don't like this, partly because it's drowned the "original" Tea Party, and partly because you know these guys aren't actually going to make any effort to pass "Tea Party" legislation once they're elected - like the Democrats, the Republican party profits from the system the way it is. Republicans want higher moral standards, Democrats want more social focus, but the mainstream parties don't disagree about the structure and role of government that much. Basically, the "Tea Party" never managed to get off the ground as a separate party; it started as a "movement" and no longer really exists, having devolved into a rallying cry for Republicans who just know it's "conservative". /Requiem for the "Tea Party". | ||

They pass an enormous bill that most of their members haven't even bothered to read, and the thing comes with a mandate that, regardless of what it aims to achieve, is blatantly unconstitutional. Okay, so for one, if they didn't read it, it is a) their fault because I certainly read through the vast majority of it and b) they passed it by voting, like EVERY OTHER BILL EVER. And also, that isn't what unconstitutional means. Unconstitutional means it actually CONTRADICTS the Constitution. In fact, this is the very definition of an issue that the government has every right to decide. Because it does not impede on ANY constitutional right and falls clearly under the jurisdiction of the appropriate articles of the document you are referring to. The government says kids can't just work all they want. They say health care has to meet a), b), and c) to be 'legal' and they sure as hell can say everyone needs to actually have a way of STAYING HEALTHY. What is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without the LIFE part? Based on traditional legal precedents, expanding that little ol' "life" bit to include right to HEALTHY life is well within the reasonable realm. LEGALWNED | ||
