  • Who REALLY gets Taxed when we tax the Oil Companies?

    WHO (exactly) "own" the Oil Companies?

    Elderly folks' pension funds, publically held stocks, .........are the MAJORITY of 'who" owns oil companies. So....would it seem that TAXING the Oil Companies is "doublespeak" for "Taxing Retired folks and little investors"???

    Would LOVE to see answers backed up by substantive citations.

    I have gotten back a rant on a previous similarly worded question without ANY BACKUP whatsoever. If you have facts to support or refute the above, please state them. If not, please refrain from your ranting; it;s not very intelligent and only gives the rest a clearer insight to your tactics.

  • Is YAHOO fooling everyone with Censorship?

    LOL Has Anyone seen this YAH0O scam ?

    If you post something conservative & provacative - yet completely polite and offensive (i.e. totally in line with their "Community Standards"), then it is mysteriously voted as the "Best Answer", even though NO ONE voted or commented on it.

    That way, it is removed from the database of currently Unanswered Questions - and becomes unavailable to anyone searching for that particular topic.

    That is one of the cuter censorship tricks that I've seen so far.

    WHO exactly do they think that they are fooling?

  • Americas True Unemployment Rate?

    It depends on who you ask, and on who is doing the counting.

    As someone once said, "Figures Lie, and Liars Figure"

    The best estimates are between %14.9 and 18.6% (real) as opposed to what the government publishes. (closer to 9%).

    Make sure that your source cites WHO they counted as "unemployed".

    Just because your government unemployment benefits ran out, does not mean that one has ceased being unemployed.

  • Have we ALL gone mad?

    So many special insterst groups, factions, religious zealots, folks looking for handouts, selfish, self serving, hating, name-calling, ....what are WE (Americans ALL) heading for?

    Can't we AGREE on anything?

    Are we to succumb the effects of the poor upbringing that the previous generation foisted on us...OR...will we resolve to learn the lessons of the past and realize that we SO MUCH STRONGER TOGETHER, than we are divided.?

  • Renewable Energy: Fact or Farce?

    Cant any 2nd year physics student can tell us that NOTHING is RENEWABLE ??

    (can anyone say" SECOND LAW of Thermodynamics"?)

    EVERYTHING has a price!!!!!!

    If any of your professors, teachers, instructors, etc challenge this LAW, (not "theory", not "Hypothesis", not "postulate", BUT LAW) feel free to Goggle it or reply back to me for supporting information.

    If they challenge this LAW, then something is REALLY wrong with the picture.

    If they try to "dance" around it, you will be justified in calling themA) ignorant, or B) Liars.

  • Let All Mexicans in to USA?

    Why not let ALL Mexicans from Mexico into US?

    Or why not cede Texas back to mexico?

    Didnt "we" take it unfairly 150 years ago?

    If we do that, shouldnt we give back all land to the Indians too?

    Even if our own houses are built on former "Indian land"?

    Would anyone mind working 80 hours a week so that they can give all their money to them as long as other people dont mind doing the same?

    Who would they elect President if 50 Million of them got to vote in few years? Suggestions?

  • How many Mexicans is "enough"?

    It is estimated that 3 Million Mexicans are here illegaly.

    There are another 100 Million people living in Mexico, most of them in squalid poverty, without education or skills.

    Does anyone oppose letting the rest of these Mexicans into the US so that they can "seek a better life"?

    If so, how do you propose to pay for their expenses (Free Public School for their kids, Medical-Emergency Room care at $3000 a shot, putting other Americans out of work because they are willing to work for less, spending little or no money back into our economy since most of it is sent back to Mexico, working cash jobs and paying no taxes, etc).

    Since most are unskilled, they would never qualify for legimiate jobs for which taxes are withheld. Landscapers assistant, domestic, or dishwasher at a roadside diner hardly qualifies as value addition, dont you think?

  • Illegals -how much do they really cost us?

    Has anyone counted the real cost of Illegal immigrants?

    Emergency room care?

    Free public schools for ther (many) illegal children?

    Welfare and Medicare fraud that has been proven to be committed by them?

    Violent Crime?

    Indocrinated to HATE WHite Americans? (La Raza, etc)

    Has anyone calculated the true "monetary benefit" of having them here?

    (i.e. what about some illegal who underbids an American high shool kid who wants to mow your lawn; you give them $$ which they send to their home country, purchase beer or basic foodstuffs, and pay a fraction of the rent normally injected into our economy because 15 of them pack a single rented room? And this is an economic benefit HOW?

  • Take, Take, Take...and then what?

    How much longer must the working taxpayer continue to fund social handouts to those who can or will not work?

    How many more free college scholarships will we subsidize because a university "needs" to balance their racial makeup (multicultural)?

    Since Section 8 (basically, free) housing has run out, what will become of the folks living there who now will NEVER give up their free apartment to someone else who may need it?

    If you are on the dole, what incentive do you have to get back to work?

    And, finally, how do we deal with the massive welfare and medicare fraud that is siphoning Billions from our support system. a system that we built with our broken backs?

    Will this compel the working white man to throw in the towel and join the unemployed (by choice?) because he is sick of supporting those seeking a free lunch while his own children cannot afford a good college?

    Will he be stirred to action by the rants of those who would call him "racist" for considering these (true) facts and excersizing his Freedom of Speech?

  • Do Liberals have an answer or argument for everything?

    Does anyone else find it impossible to have a logical argument with a Liberal Ideologue?

    Do they cite random or inaccurate facts as a matter of course?

    Or try to shout you down when they have nothing substantial so say?

    Are they convinced of their own propaganda?

    Does anyone feel the pure hatred coming from the Left?

    Why do they seem hell bent on destroying our way of life?

    I am I the only one who sees Marxist-Socialists as extremely dangerous?

  • Green Energy - a Hoax?

    How many folks are well versed enough in the engineering fundamentals needed to comprehend that most of this is BS?

    It is a cruel hoax, perpetrated on Americans who did not make it their lfies work to be scientists or engineers.

    None if makes economic sense, and most of the "equipment" needed usually wears out or breaks down compleely years before it has had the chance to pay for itself.

    If you want to pay $7/Gallon for gas, or have a $600/month electric bill, then keep on supporting "green energy".

    If you are sick of being broke at the end of the week, urge your elected representative to DRILL!!!

    We have so much oil and natural gas in America, why are we on our knees begging for oil from the likes of Ghaddafi and Saudi Arabia?

    OR we can wait until the Chinese set up oil rigs off of our shores and siphon off the remaing natural resources that we have.

    $7/Galloon?

    or DRILL?

    Simple, even for Progressives.

  • Taxpayer funded FREE college tuition just because you are WHITE?

    Isnt this a great idea?

    Talk about leveling the playing field.

    Tit for Tat.

    Of course, most blacks dont want to see "equality" - would mean the end of their preferential treatment.

    It's great to give of your private funds, but when you try to PICK MY POCKET, we will have a problem:)

    Not too hard to grasp, even for a Liberal or a Racist.
