All you Christian warriors out there best make ready for battle! Sean Hannity and the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue are now claiming that there is a war on Easter. “Oh no!” you say. “Who would do such a thing?” Why, Lady Gaga, comedian Ricky Gervais, and a few other dastardly demons—that’s who.
I even heard it through the grapevine that the CEO of Easter Bunnies, Inc., is hopping mad. I was told that he’s organized his bunny brigade and worked in co-operation with the president of Hatchling Chicks Corporation to devise a plan to go after anti-Easterites like Lady Gaga and Gervais.
Get your trebuchets ready! I’ll bring eggs. We’re planning to meet in Mister MacGregor’s garden tomorrow at the first light of dawn. We’ll shell the hard-boiled enemies of Easter ova and ova again until they surrender. They won’t know what hit them.
Are you ready to join me and my fellow warriors?

Do you realize that because unemployment is high and probably won’t come down soon due to so many companies over-seas, that our revenues will decrease and expenses will increase due to more unemployment benefits paid out. Raising taxes on the so called rich will not solve that problem. Extreme radical change is necessary and this looks like the best time to start.

Doesn’t everybody pay motor vehicle taxes etc? I’ll bet more of the poor do not have car insurance and other government requirements.
Jim, I was about to turn of the electrical computing machine when I noticed your comment. She could not sue us successfully for firing her. Our Republican run Legislature has made this an at-will state that favors the employer. Notice the irony? LOL
G’night.
I do not know what is more astonishing. HIR’s brutishness or the brutishness of those of you still trying to talk some sense into that idiot. Give it up will you? You can’t win.
Stamford,
Well said!
HIR,
Your idea of facts is twisted.
Good night OS.
HIR,
First – STOP SHOUTING
Second – Most American’s, not just the working poor, reap the benefits of the EARNED income tax credit so just saying that it is the poor that benefits from it is false. Most Amercan’s do not receive enough of a break to offset the additional payroll taxes they pay.
Do the poor don’t pay sales taxes? Motor vehicle taxes?
“If we keep providing for the poor then we sink just like the Titanic did.”
Lol – typical teabagger statement. The dog-fearing Christian thinks it’s the poors fault for the clusterfuck we’re in. Yup, it’s all the poor people’s fault. Thanks for confirming that facts and logic are foreign entities to you, sport.
Well, I’ve had just about enough. It’s late and I’ve got places to go and people to see tomorrow. But, please feel free to carry on with the Dingleberry. You can both bore the shit out of each other with your pathetic talking points.
Night, all.
Pete, If the military is poor, then blame the government because they pay them.

HIR would have probably sued you. You also didn’t acknowledge the unearned credit situation.
lets agree to disagree good night have to go to church tommorow
what about the poor military, hir don’t they get some cuts too?
why do only poor people get cuts
what do you make per/hr paid troll?
any benefits?
I am tired of the mindless talking points by someone whose understanding of economics, business and industry can be put in a thimble.
FYI, HiR, I am the President and CEO of a corporation I founded. We pay taxes and take care of business. The tax code favors the huge mega-corporations far more than it does us. They need to pay more and me less, but the US Chamber of Commerce does not speak for corporations the size of mine. It only represents corporations such as GE, Bank of America and Citigroup.
I understand business, I understand the tax code and I have some idea of fairness. I am pretty hard nosed, and if you worked for me, I would probably have fired you a long time ago due to your problem with facts and logic. Not to mention your inability to give a responsive answer that is not a non-sequitur. I do not tolerate that in my employees.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Good evening one and all.
HIR
To not contribute would be dishonest is what I meant to say.
HIR
You forgot to mention the importance of teaching the value of equality by everyone sharing in the burden to live in a free country and that it would be dishonest to contribute.
$25,000 sorry!
If a family makes $25,00 a year they should pay something. No one should go to a birthday party and not have a gift. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a moron and doesn’t know the meaning of the words fair and equal.
RAFFLAW,
I am stating facts! Liberals deal with ideology and can’t handle the facts.
If we keep providing for the poor then we sink just like the Titanic did. The ice berg is the debt and we better get a grip on it. Did you know that if you spend $186,000/second, it will take you 2.4 years to pay off the debt. Does that not mean something?
By the way if you get the uneraned tax credit, you probably get medicaid which means you are getting much more.
