    47% will pay no federal income tax

    Except it's not correlated to income. The top earners have a higher amount of wealth because they can accumulate it without spending all of their income. Yet taxation, particularly in the top percentages follows the percentage of wealth owned, not the income earned. To look at wealth as the...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    Dude, you're going to lose this argument badly if you keep up with the malignant is not cancerous track. Malignant does not mean metastastic. those are separate concepts even though most malignant tumors have the capability to metastasize. Nor is a life-threatening benign tumor considered...

    47% will pay no federal income tax

    Yes. But they make up a big percentage of them. And in that same study by the TPC, almost a quarter of population has ZERO tax liability even accounting for payroll taxes like SS and Medicare. The only federal tax liability these people have are excise taxes like gas and telephone which are...

    47% will pay no federal income tax

    Try again. In 2007, personal income tax made up 45% of federal receipts, employment taxes 34% and corporate income tax 14%. Excise taxes only made up 3% of federal receipts. It's a flat out lie to say that income tax is only 15% of so of the budget. Between corporate and personal income...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    Don't need to. You did say she specifically claimed it was malignant. Tell me what the difference is between a malignant tumor and cancer. What assumption? I'm going off exactly what you have stated. . So did she claim she had a malignant tumor or not and if so, do you not know that stating...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    Where did her doctors say this? Rathke's pouch cysts can be associated with diabetes insipidus which in rare cases can be fatal. Like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if she is lying and the case unfolded exactly like you describe. But you seem to be making stuff up like her doctors saying it...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    Where? I thought she claimed she had a brain tumor. She did. She also claimed it would have killed her if she waited too long. That too can be totally true even it the tumor was non-cancerous. Like I said, she might be lying. I wouldn't be surprised if she is. But since you seem so sure...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    I draw the line at a life-threatening illness. I don't know if hers was or not. None of us do. What I do know is that even benign tumors can be life threatening. She might be lying, but I have no idea how anyone can possibly make the claim they know she's lying simply based of the fact that...

    The truth about Shona Holmes

    Benign tumors can still kill you. Not knowing the details of her case, you can't make the claim she lied simply because the tumor she had was non-cancerous.

    47% will pay no federal income tax

    Roughly 47 percent of households, or 71 million, will not owe any federal income tax for 2009 Okay. I'm all for a progressive tax system. But how can it possibly be good for the country when so many voters don't have to pony up any skin in the game? The problem we have with our government is...

    Harsh Hill rhetoric breeds angst in party caucuses

    Who exactly wants to agree with the collective group of jackasses we have in Washington? Washington politics has become the favorite sport of the unattractive and unathletic. It's root for your team no matter what. Every call the ref makes is a horrible one if it's against your team and a...

    Should Roman Polanski be punished for his crime?

    But they settled. If the case was that weak, then Polanski could have forced the trial knowing he was going to walk. Instead, he not only broke the law by having sex with a 13-year-old, he broke the law again by fleeing the country.

    Which Network Is The Most Biased?

    There's a difference between bias and propaganda. Most of mainstream media has has a leftward bias. Fox and MSNBC produce propaganda.

    N.Y. Health Care Workers Revolt Over H1N1 Vaccine

    What a lot of hospitals have done is more reasonable I think in that they have required those that don't want the vaccine to wear masks. Asking personnel to wear masks is completely within the rights of employers and truthfully, most health employees just end up getting the vaccine anyway since...

    Liberals seek health-care access for illegals

    It's things like this that show how incredibly screwed up the health care debate is. Not because illegals may or may not be covered. But because its stuff like this and freakin' death panels that we want to go on and on about. We spend twice as much per capita as almost all other...
