LOL...she was talking about those 9 people who were indicted in federal court on charges they accessed Obama's student loan records while employed for a Department of Education contractor in Iowa.
And I think that if something drastic doesn't happen soon, she may be right, this nation is just getting worse, not better.
I'm 52 in 19 days. I've heard that my entire life. The only time I have agreed with that statement was from 2002 until late 2006 when you morons who voted for Boy Blunder finally woke the fuck up. I just hope Obama CAN turn it around so much fucking damage was done.
It's real simple how it works...vote for the smarter one...it works 99% of the time.

First war, I am also in my 50's, and I've seen alot in my time, and it's getting worse, whether I am a part of it or not, it's there. I am among the lucky ones who live a quiet life away from most of what's going on around me, and I can choose to ignore it and pretend it isn't happening, or I can wake up to reality.
If you think Obama is the right choice for this nation, then you are among those who believe we should no longer be a Capitalist nation, but a socialist country led by dictators.
He has weakened this nation, weakened our military, weakened our leadership by bowing down to our enemies all over the world.
No one has done more to divide the races quite like him, you may not see much from where your sitting, but civil war, race baiters have become braver, Mexicans march and have declared war on this nation, a UCLA teacher is advocating war against whites and our country, a revolution is brewing....
I don't mean to rant, but there isn't enough room here to list everything that's gone wrong since he's been in office, you have access to the internet, you are one of the lucky ones, and yet you're still blind.

Milton Friedman and Pinochet proved that Capitalism (a word coined by Marx) is not synonymous with freedom for human beings, but can happily coexist with a dictator. Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system.
Its kind of ironic that Hong Kong and Singapore top the Heritage Foundation's list as the two freest economies in the world. Singapore has had one party rule since its inception and Hong Kong belongs to China.
Australia, number three on the list, has had universal health care since 1984. Canada ranks number seven; the United States, eight; and Denmark, nine.

Bush handed over a weakened nation to Obama.
Dwight Eisenhower said "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." With few exceptions, the world was on our side after 9/11; Bush took that good will, that "wants to do it" and threw it in the toilet believing that the world would accept the leadership of a strong bully. A bully can compel compliance, but not loyalty, and good will. It is the leadership style of the dictator.

Do you think we should do away with our capitalist system in favor of a socialist system?
Do you agree with the first wookie, we should 'share the pie'?
Murron: "Do you agree with the first wookie, we should 'share the pie'?"
Lucy's non-answer: "Do you think the upper 1% should get 90% of the pies while 99% share 10% of the remaining pies?"
Why are you complaining? Don't you have access to enough cheap donuts and potato chips? Isn't Tee-bee free? Are you safe and warm in your abode? Is your water hot?
Be happy - You live better than the royalty of 99.9% of human history.
It is irrelevant what what percentage of the populace is "rich"; "Fair" is NOT enumerated or described in the US Constitution and required of the citizenry. Is it?
The American economic system - CAPITALISM - is NOT based upon the tenets of socialism or communism.
But speaking of "fair," why the hell must Americans subsidize the lazy, militant unions, and illegal squatters?
Why must YOU insist MY slice of pie be confiscated and transferred to YOUR plate for anyone else's?
Why must I pay $50 for an aspirin so that Maria Hernandez-Jones can have her future anti-American gangster in MY hospital?

Please, ask that at a Tea Party event.

No, Communism and Socialism hadn't been thought up at the time of the founding of the US.

My father was a union member and anything but lazy. He retired at 68 and died in August at the age of 91.
Why must YOU insist MY slice of pie be confiscated and transferred to YOUR plate for anyone else's?
Why do you think you're entitled to the services of another human being at pay that isn't sufficient for him to support himself and his family?
Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor. Thomas Jefferson said that.
Why must I pay $50 for an aspirin so that Maria Hernandez-Jones can have her future anti-American gangster in MY hospital?
One reason is that everyone who has anything to do with the aspirin has to make a profit from the manufacturer to the hospital to the insurance provider who contracts to pay just a portion of the cost of the aspirin. Second, Maria Hernandez-Jones isn't paid enough at her job as hotel maid to pay for her own aspirin and the hotel doesn't provide health insurance.

Nice spin.
Your equation is spun thusly:
You want me to ask those at a Tea Party event why they don't like subsidizing you, illegal invaders, special people, the fat & lazy, and foreign debt nations with their already high taxes more than they already are?
Rich.
Communism and Socialism hadn't been thought up at the time of the founding of the US.
What makes you think the politicians and you Leftists have the authority to impose socialism and communism upon We the People?
My father was a union member and anything but lazy. He retired at 68 and died in August at the age of 91.
Big Whoop.
My father was also in a Union. According to him, it was a racket then, and it's still a racket.
Why do you think you're entitled to the services of another human being at pay that isn't sufficient for him to support himself and his family?
The market of services and goods speaks for itself; has ALWAYS.
Supporting oneself is a personal responsibility, Comrade. NOT a collective one. The Constitution guarantees the pursuit of happiness and opportunity; not a Cocktail Party and paying job.
Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor. Thomas Jefferson said that.
And thus this means Jefferson was an anti-Capitalist and pro-Communist? Or "the haves must subsidize the have-nots"?
Do you realize roughly half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year? Isn't this wrong??
Proverbs: "He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment" (12:11).
One reason is that everyone who has anything to do with the aspirin has to make a profit from the manufacturer to the hospital to the insurance provider who contracts to pay just a portion of the cost of the aspirin. Second, Maria Hernandez-Jones isn't paid enough at her job as hotel maid to pay for her own aspirin and the hotel doesn't provide health insurance.
And thirdly, Senora Hernandez-Jones is an unauthorized parasite from Mexico who is stealing resources and birthright from Americans who have paid for their own in blood and sweat...
And lastly, the hospital which is required by law to treat EVERYONE - including illegal invading parasites - must pay for all the doctors, nurses, drugs, maintenance workers, lights, and rent. This makes the $0.10 aspirin cost $50 bucks, and the hospital room cost $800 per day.
Do you realize roughly half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year? Isn't this wrong??
Thomas Jefferson didn't think so.
The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied. ... Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings. --Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811. ME 13:41
Apparently Jefferson was fine with progressive taxation too.
Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785. ME 19:18, Papers 8:682
That aside, it is just not true that "half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year". Here, in California, we have a sales tax that is darn close to 10%. The price of a gallon of gas includes a federal tax as well as sales tax.
Further, if you believe that "corporations don't pay taxes, people do" because the corporation's tax burden, including payroll taxes are passed on to the consumer in the price of a product or service, then all those little people you hold in contempt are most likely paying your taxes too.
And thirdly, Senora Hernandez-Jones is an unauthorized parasite from Mexico who is stealing resources and birthright from Americans who have paid for their own in blood and sweat...
How did Hernandez-Jones get her hyphenated name? Is she married to an American citizen?

That's not entirely true. For instance, if a surgeon charges $3,000 for a particular operation and the insurance provider contracts to pay $1,500, then the surgeon must raise his rate to $6,000 to get what he wants, $3,000.
