    Do liberals actually think the middle class and the poor pay more taxes than the rich ?

    "Congressional Budget Office calculates that the top 20% now pay 63.5% of the total federal tax burden, which includes income taxes, payroll taxes and other federal levies. It's true that the top 20% pays nearly 81% of all federal income taxes." "The top 1% of the population pays a much...

    Al Qaeda Should Determine US Election

    Wow talk about making an ass out of u and me. First of all you're forgetting that the vast majority of Spain's population was against the war (a small detail), so how can you possibly say that it was the result of the bombing that they elected a party that would pull them from Iraq. Well, you...

    Friendly Fire: The Birth of an Anti-Kerry Ad

    I like how you commend the thread for the lack of stupidity and childishness and then go on to insult Mr. Worthless and tell him that he deserves to die. How mature and intelligent of you. I don't mind you being a hypocrite, but if you're going to do it, don't apologize for it. If you're not...

    The "Digital SoundTouch Control Center", which is the little control panel has both a coax and an optical input. So it's as easy as running the cable from the DVD player's output to the input in the control center. Check out a picture of it here IGN Review :D
