tax ammunition severely in order to pay for all the armed personnel

we will need to protect people from guns.

What tax rate is required to pay for 2 armed guards in every school in the USA?
Well it will be good for the unemployment rate.
But I can't see why the people who are causing the expense shouldn't be made to pay for it.

SS should be a progressive tax rate.

currently it is a regressive tax due to the cap.
But higher income is associated with longer longevity...since higher incomes will collect longer, they should contribute more.

Leave it to the people

in terms of what our national budget should be spent on.

We should be able to designate where we want our tax dollars to go.
If its added to tax returns, this is what I am willing to fund with my tax dollars, then the government would have a specific survey and initial budget based on the national priorities.

I'm willing to bet that the actual voice of the people would be greatly different than how it is currently being spent.

Anyone entering any seat of Government: federal, state or local

should be required to carry a weapon....
in case the government officials inside are threatened by insane people.
(Smirk)

Whats the odds lawmakers would agree with that rule.
But they want to impose it on children in schools?

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety

deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin

In what sick mind is giving up guns an essential liberty.

I would argue that going to first grade or going to a movie theater is the essential liberty that is being given up
in order for the gun nutters to have the temporary safety of their phallic substitutes.

What gun control?

Demand that the Congress and Supreme Court cannot have more control of guns in their environments, then we have in ours.

After Newtown

reasonable people worried about their family and children's safety.
If you worried about your guns instead of people, seek help.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Yahoo News Illustration of the great and powerful grover

Check it out.
Didn't expect YAHOO to call BS when they saw it. They are usually more conservative than that.

President Obama should meet with Romney and give him an opportunity to prove

he can work for America.

His task will be to fix the situation at Sensata Technologies.
After Romney addresses that task, then PO will consider what post he might be helpful with.
Perhaps Ambassador to AngryWhiteMenistan.

No reason not to raise taxes on the wealthy

after all money stashed in the Cayman Islands doesn't help the US economy.
