I removed the idiocy from the end of your post, it was just left wing drivel anyway. The rest of what you said is true, $10 a week is $40 a month. That is quite a bit of money to the poor, and not an insubstantial amount to the lower middle class either.

I merely stated the truth, which is apparently in contradiction to what you believe. If the income distribution of today were the same as 1980, median families would be earning a lot more, and the wealthy a lot less. They'd still be rich by middle class standards, if not by their own bloated sense of entitlement.

As Colbert says, facts have a liberal bias.

It does not hurt to say Colbert is a comedian. Now actually LISTENING to Colbert is painful. He should give up his day job, he is not really that good. Maybe it is just that they put him on after The Daily Show...and the awesomeness of that show simply exposes the suck that is Colbert.

Oh wait, you meant the truth that Colbert is a comedian hurts Jhhnn? Nah, doubt it hurts him either.

How do you know that's where I live? BoberWelfare Queen you can't afford to pay attention... LMFAO

It's under your name and is a town of around 250K. Feel free to correct me though. Show me the error of my ways. What is this large city where everyone is in the top 5% of the country?

And seriously, that's the best insult you can come up with? I'm beginning to doubt that you're even an adult.
LOL Major ownage.

I doubt there's any city where half the workers earner over 100K, but you could find neighborhoods or suburbs like that - especially around government.

Being from dirt floors Tennessee I can see how you would believe this.;)

So you're claiming census data is wrong then? Where are you pulling your facts from? How do you know how much half of the people in Madison earn?

This whole thing started because you claimed this would put $26M/yr into your local economy. Given the median income, it sounds like this will put closer to $10M/yr into your local economy. Still a fair chunk of change, but it doesn't change the fact that you're an ignorant liar.

If that truly was the claim he was making, regardless of the dollar amount, it's total bull.

Money taken away from new home purchasers, and spread out amongst the employed through payroll tax cuts, is not an influx of money.



As for the whole "Republicans cave in" comment, we all know politics. The Democrats have determined that they have the upper-hand when this topic hits the media headlines. Democrats wand this to be the headlines as often as possible, while Republicans do not want this to be the headlines.

That's why the Republicans want a 1yr extension, while the Dems only a 2 month extension.

Why the resident left is declaring a partisan victory that doesn't mean anything positive for the country, I don't know.

Yep in 2 months the Dems will be trying to fuck another goat...

Can you rephrase this in another way so the rest of us that don't fantasize about bestiality can actually understand the point you're making?

So you're saying that tax cuts don't stimulate the economy? :hmm:

Are you saying that quitting your job and charging an extra $3-5k a month onto your credit card doesnt stimulate the economy? Are you askign whether that is relevant? Because to me it dont matter one damn bit how stimulative it is to the economy if the US government is replacing real jobs and real incomes by charging up the credit card faster than a 19 year old girl.
