Score One for State's Rights!Follow

Since it's absolutely impossible for someone to convert to another religion, I see your point. I'm fairly certain he attended both Catholic and Muslim schools. His father was a Muslim, yes, but he moved back to Kenya when Barrack was 2 or 3. His mother was an atheist.

LeBron signed with Miami, where there's no state income tax.

Edit: And the Knicks basically forfeited their past two seasons to clear enough cap space to bring him to New York this year. But wait, they signed an aging power forward who's had micro-fracture surgery, a detached retina, and has never played a complete season! Why wouldn't he want to sign up for that?!

If that's the can't quit laughing moment, BD's got a touch or the Gump in him.

Obama didn't spill the oil. The moratorium on further deep sea drilling is about as proactive as you can get in fending off another such occurrence. Why even bring the former pres into this?

You were raised straight.

Yes, you can sweetie. Get it all off your chest here.

I usually don't intrude on political posts here; I prefer to grab a bowl of popcorn and just read them, but it absolutely astounds me that people are still saying things like this:


Do you even know what a radical Muslim is? I'll give you a hint: 9/11/01. Secondly, who cares if he was raised as a Muslim or anything else? I don't know Obama's faith, nor do I care, for even a minute. Not everyone of a certain faith is an extremist.. It's not like a Muslim president is going to fill the Constitution with Islamic laws. Last time I checked, there was still religious freedom in this country. If fact, even if Obama was a Muslim and did fill the Constitution with religious laws, it's not like you'd have a right to complain. Based on this:

It looks like you have absolutely no problem with imposing a religious law on an entire nation.

Her*, but thank you, Sir.

I'm not entirely sure you have a jib, then...

But if you did, I'd like the cut of it.

Let's abolish our state income tax so we can sign LeBron! Go Knicks!

It's the nature of the beast. Most of the big, technical, expensive, rare pieces of equipment that are necessary to stop and clean up this spill belong to the industry. We need them. If the incident gets federalized, BP take their toys, goes home pouting and waits for the bill. The response would suffer greatly.

What form would you like tax to take?

Timey,

It's called the fair tax plan.

New York's taxes are so high because of the social services the offer. Offer fewer services, require fewer taxes. You can't do that, of course, because there are too many people relying on the services. The result is people who can, leave. It's like a microcosm of America. Too many people with too much dependence on government to vote out the people who keep f'ucking the "rich" people.

What form should the tax take? A significantly smaller one. People who can't afford to live in New York should move somewhere cheaper.
