Did everyone's "take home" pay just get smaller?
What was w/all the "crap" about the Bush tax cut extension in Washington? The extension of it didn't save my pay check from being $10.00 plus a week smaller. Jeez, and we thought someone was watching out for the poor working person.
4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWhy wouldn't Obama want a mosque built near "ground zero"?
He admitted to a "journalist" his faith was Muslim before the journalist corrected him. What a deceit the media has tried to pull on the American people.
2 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhy do so many people think Obama and his administration is doing a good job?
I'm not asking this for any Bush bashing, I'm just curious what he has done for the American People? He wanted the job, knew we were in the brink, promised to hold it together, but what has he done OTHER than throw good taxpayer $'s away?
3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoSo, a lot of you want government run health care? As in Medicare for all!?
I saw this the other day, medicare for all. Example of 83 yr old on medicare. Deducted throughout working years b/4 age 65. $1200.00 a year after 65 with $100 deductible. Supplement necessary, costing approx $1500.00 yr. What Americans need (to start with) is a reform in medical malpractice so hospitals & doctors don't have to charge the fees they do. We, Americans, have become a nation of greed. Politicians don't care what it cost for health insurance all they want is the power.
13 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy all the outrage w/banking bonuses?
We have a corrupt government, that lives on American taxpayer $'s till they die, that voted to give taxpayer money to the banking industry, so why shouldn't we be outraged w/government? This is a smoke screen for all taxpayers. The very ppl we elected to work for us have betrayed WE THE PEOPLE. I, for one, will vote against any sitting Congress Person, no matter party, in every election. TERM LIMITS for ALL.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoSo, Jimmy Carter, the worse President (so far) in history claims all the Americans against this admin?
are racist and it has nothing to do with the liberal policies pushed on Americans? Jimmy Carter's family, one of the biggest slave owners in Georgia should keep his mouth shut since he doesn't know what he's talking about. Liberal Democrats have held down the poor in this country for decades.
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade ago7 Gitmo detainees and $200 million dollars to Palau, isn't this throwing money away?
Tax payer $'s are going to Palau to take Gitmo detainees. Why not just keep Gitmo open and keep those $'s in the United States?
2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDon't you agree mandatory closing for car dealerships?
I find it odd that privately owned car dealerships are mandated to close. If a survey was taken wouldn't the ones that voted Republican be the ones on the chopping block? Obama's administration is controlling all of this, people wake up b/4 it's too late.
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhere is the media/Congress outrage w/Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac bonuses?

15 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoPOLL: Do you want US Government to raise your taxes?
This poll is only for working Americans. According to WSJ 49% say they wouldn't mind paying more taxes for everyone to have health care. That is just a stupid thing for government to think taxpayers should pay for our neighbors health care. MO
18 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhat do you 95% working class think of your extra $13.00 a week?
Be very careful when taking this extra weekly, at the end of the year, the tax code isn't changing, therefore, you will owe the $13.00 to government or at least a portion of it. LOL, everyone fell for another Obama lie..........
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy hasn't Henriette Hughes been investigated?
Joe the Plumber was investigated from top to bottom, why hasn't this woman been in the news and the 3 properties that her and her son own? 2 in Florida and 1 in Georgia.
3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAren't you tired of government knowing better how to spend your money?
Yes, Obama said this is a spending bill. Well, I for one don't want government spending, I want to spend my own money. If these elected officials would stop telling us they know better, our country would be much better off. Let the people spend their own money. Why is that concept so hard to realize. This STUPID stimulus bill only puts tax burdens beyond belief on every working person in this country.
6 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoCut taxes for everyone including business, who else agrees?
By putting money back into the taxpayers pocket will increase spending and by cutting business taxes will decrease cost of goods. Sending out stimulus checks does nothing, but increase the federal deficit that all Americans inherit.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo you think Obama will govern the same way he is picking a dog out for his girls?
As reported on the news he is conducting interviews with 2 stipulations, the dog has to be hypo allergic and it can't be a "girly" dog. Now, who exactly is the dog for?
