1. There is a radio ad here in Santa Barbara county put on by Orchard Supply Hardware.
The ad starts out by saying that the store understands how hard it is to make it after the current tax increase. They are advertising a no sales tax sale.

But even though everyone got a tax cut even the dip shits in ads are saying we got a tax increase.

2. I know but its what Faux News keeps telling them.
I work with a bunch of these Idiot Teabagging repukes. They won't listen.
Faux News tells them their taxes just got raised and they believe it.
Hook Line and Sinker.

Granted though our taxes will eventually have to be raised if we ever want
to pay this deficit off, but that is not now......:patriot:

12. I think it's the Illinois state income tax
I think I read an article about this saying that Kirk was referring to Illinois Governor Pat Quinn (Blago's replacement)considering increasing the Illinois state tax from 3% to 4.5%

5. When these idiots start taking a look at their pay stubs and see...
that they have MORE money now, will this crap finally stop or at least slow down? Seriously! I am about to pull my hair out with all the ignorance being sold as apple pie. I remember a line from a Lewis Black stand up routine that you all are probably familiar with. "If it hadn't been for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that last year in college." Every once in a while you hear someone say something so stupid, so ignorant, so non based in our current dimensional reality that you risk an aneurysm if you think on it too much. Well now we are seeing this on a national scale with teabaggers protesting "higher taxes", "tyranny", and "fascism" while being silent for the last eight years. Really, at what point does the human mind begin to regress back to lower primate?

It hurts....

It really really hurts....

I need a nap

9. Don't understand the Lewis Black line...
however, I have to agree with you 110%. The mind-boggling stupidity is just amazing. Immigrants in Paris rioted over the killing of one of their own; we have dumb asses rioting over paying lower taxes.

16. I always figured she said, "Mike Horst," not "my horse."
Thereby making it Lewis Black's own stupidity that threatened the structural integrity of his cranial arteries.

8. they should ask this dick, Kirk if HE is going to shoot "somebody"? And by the way since Obama is
Edited on Fri Apr-17-09 03:06 PM by JohnWxy

the man where the buck stops, this constitutes a threat on the presidents life. A very serious matter. He should be interviewed by the Secret Service.

Get this dick to commit HIMSELF. also, someone should put those facts to him. When 95% of the households are getting a tax decrease what do you mean by an allegation of a tax increase? HUH? When the temporary (ostensibly) tax-cuts for the top tax brackets is not continued and the highest brackets return to the rates they paid before - are they calling this a tax increase?

I think somebody should look into whether this constitutes inciting others to commit a crime. Personally, I think it does. He should at least be questioned by authorities. If he knows someone who has threatened to shoot someone he has a duty to report this to the proper authorities. If he doesn't then he's a dick.
