  1. That he made a lot of money, that much of it was not subject to the highest tax rate in the land, that he has too much money and that he is hoarding it which prevents others from the better standard of living that they so deserve.
  2. Have him suit up in pads, helmet and jersey. The fans would go wild.
  3. Yes and he dished out some his too.
  4. Me too. I really expected the Bears to win. I was at the game today. On a local Chicago sports station post-game, Doug Buffone was ripping the Bears for losing to the lowly bills. He referred to this game as a "tomato can" as the Bills should have been easy to crush.
  5. So Mitt during his career should not have been permitted to save for retirement in the same manner as everyone else? Or once people get to a certain net worth the government should tax what they have saved for retirement in a different fashion than someone who hasn't saved or earned as much?
  6. You have no idea what his retirement account balances are or how we accumulated it. You also don't know much about retirement savings because if you did, you'd know that there are a number of ways to save fore retirement and no people aren't limited to $5500 a year contributions. Simple IRA's, 401K's and defined pension plans all allow for higher contributions to name a few.
  7. Me too. Your hero Buffet I guarantee pays the lowest tax rates possible and has a team of lawyers and accountants that make it so.
  8. Sears/Kmart had a plan a few years ago to begin making shoes in a plant near Chicago. They held negotiations with local officials to get some incentives in place and their analysis was that even with low paid labor and the incentives it was still more costly than making them in China. However, they were willing to do it as they felt they could capitalize on the American made label and they really wanted to do this. As plans continued to evolve, a union was introduced to the project and suddenly the incentives were tied to a requirement that the factory had to employ union labor. After plugging in some new labor cost numbers to their spreadsheet, the cost to operate became to high. They walked away from the project. Sure low paying jobs were lost but so were many of the better paid positions such as designers, supervisors, managers and all the construction folks and equipment suppliers that would have built and outfitted the plant.
  9. Obama is quite the political operator. First he allows the area to be flooded with future democrat voters and now he'll let ISIS exterminate a bunch of Republicans.
  10. This could be nominated for post of the year.
  11. Obama lifts ban on Libyan's flight training in U.S. but Give Barack credit, Hillary wanted the ban lifted in 2010. http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2014/08/obama-ignores-congress-lifts-ban-libyans-training-u-s-pilots-nuke-scientists/
  12. We're watching a commander in chief who is not prepared for that job, nor does he want that job. This is nothing more than a giant distraction from his passion for government provided social and economic justice for all.
  13. Been in the Chicago area for 20 years after living in Buffalo for longer than that. Tried hard to stay close to the Bills but about 5 years ago my patience with the team ran out. Watch the Bears more now. Going to the opener. Hate to say it but I'm rooting for the Bears. The Bills haven't given me much reason to stay with them.
  14. Well, we simply need to add diet and health club coverage to Obamacare for lesbians and with no requirement for citizenship or even coverage. Obviously the stress of living in a society that doesn't treat gays fairly is taking its toll on lesbians.
  15. If people don't like the product or the cost of it, they don't have to buy it.
  16. Hard to respect a President who is so dishonest, inept and political. He's earned his disrespect. The writer of the article is clueless.
  17. So apparently in some communities you have to be like-skinned in order to get some people's vote and support. Being like minded is not enough.
  18. Sadly, The Bills offense will make the Bears a top 5 defense after week 1.
  19. Gasoline for molotov cocktails is pretty expensive.
  20. That line will endure for decades.
  21. Expect new owner to clean house, again.
  22. Matt Blanchard did some nice work with the Bears pre-season in 2012 I believe then had an injury and got cut. A lot of people liked him. He's on Carolina now?
