Nobody ever got a good job from a poor person and no government bureaucrat ever added value to any product.

You would think Liberals of good conscience would be up in arms over the 0bamacare provisions that are forcing companies like Walmart to cut worker hours to less than 30 so that they do not have to provide massively expensive health insurance.

This is putting millions, if not tens of millions of US workers even farther behind economically, and all because of a callous Leftist health care power grab.

I cannot regard any Democrat who isn't concerned about this as a person of good conscience.

Hahahaha! I'm just so thankful my kids are so much smarter than you.

I simply do not believe you are for real.

Teabag for brains...

I think he's a fraud...getting paid by the word.

That's okay...living well...and sane...is the best revenge.

Got to admit...this: Arky is as bad as JAH but with less excuse was meant to be a double sting; a cut above his usual drool.

I think the actual source and my own understanding show the truth better than that article

I don't know who Alexander Eichler is, but his interpretations are just that. Guess work, without facts. I don't find any data from the CBO listing any income distribution beyond 2009. We know that all lands on Bush. Bush caused the disparity and his tax cut is the reason. Denying this is futile, there is no data at present to argue otherwise.

The only reasoning I accept is that which shows the data, gives the account of context and is reliable over time. The CBO qualifies. If by some chance, there is data from the CBO, which I couldn't find, please show it.

Re. 45469 -

Then they would have to be genius level. From the level of your posting, an impossibility.

45476. concerned - 12/3/2012 6:09:53 AM

A poster elsewhere did a good job of describing how uncritical you Lefties are of 0bama:

Obama could forcibly sodomize, cook and eat a blind puppy on national TV and his supporters would claim he was the first person ever who was smart enough to simultaneously promote alternative sex lifestyles, animal rights, paleo-diets and the plight of the seeing disabled.

You're hardly the sharpest tools in 0bama's drawers.

Ho-hum.

45478. Wombat - 12/3/2012 5:27:57 PM

Sun rises in the East, Concerned posts nonsense.

i You're hardly the sharpest tools in 0bama's drawers.

Talk about tools! If you are being coddled at sites where people post like THAT (45476) then I suggest you've found a new home and one to which your lofty intellect is much more suited.

Sheesh...no wonder your ego is so underservedly big. You must feel like a MENSA member at THAT site!

In a room full of Tea Partiers, the half-wit is king.

45481. judithathome - 12/3/2012 7:46:37 PM

A-effin'-men.

Let this be true. Please.

WASHINGTON -- Nearly two years after Wall Street waged a successful campaign to keep consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren from running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the incoming senator will be tapped to serve on the Banking Committee, according to four sources familiar with the situation. It's a victory for progressives who battled to win her a seat on the panel that oversees the implementation of Dodd-Frank and other banking regulations.

Heh. What goes around comes around.

Senate Rejects UN Treaty For Disabled Rights

A United Nations treaty to ban discrimination against people with disabilities went down to defeat in the Senate on Tuesday in a 61-38 vote.

The treaty backed by President Obama and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kansas) fell 5 votes short of the two-thirds needed for confirmation as dozens of Senate Republicans objected that it would create new abortion rights and impede the ability of people to home-school disabled children.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) argued the treaty would infringe on U.S. sovereignty, an argument echoed by other opponents.

“This unelected bureaucratic body would pass recommendations that would be forced upon the United States if we were a signatory,” he said.

Remembering Jack Brooks, LBJ protege, Nixon executioner, fierce partisan, Texas patriot

Longish obit. My Texan soul weeps reading it and thinking of some of the pathetic creatures we send to Washington nowadays.

Blue Texas in 2020. Pass it on!

Well, I botched the link. Will try again.

While puzzling over this I learned of the death of another admirable man. "Take Five" to remember Dave Brubeck.
