  • It doesn't take $50 million to make a point.   12 years 1 week ago

    Blow Hard Nonsense, What about the 85 Billion in debt each month we are getting stuck with Thom ?

  • It doesn't take $50 million to make a point.   12 years 1 week ago

    The Republicans have made a mockery of the democratic process by using the People's Congress as a tool to express their hatred for representative government. They have clearly violated the social contract that, "We the People," both pay for and expect. The will of the billionaires is not the will of the people. We need to expel by force of law if necessary all of those public servants involved in the desecration of our democratic process. There has to be a way besides voting to remove those whose only mission it is to obstruct the will of the people.

    I think we can recoup our 50 million by following the letter of the law and removing the tax-exempt status of all the Tea Party groups involved in the IRS Rovian like set-up. Randi Rhodes got it right today when she pointed out that these groups in fact didn't even need to apply for this status, they are only required to fill out a form each year at tax time. They set up the IRS for this fake scandal and Obama is buying right into it.

    By the way, ABC radio news felt it necessary to broadcast Bachmann announcing the results of the 37th attempt today. Funny thing is they failed to mention the 50 million bucks these nut jobs have wasted.

    Kend -- I thought those wealthy business owners were taking trillions out of our economy.

    Global -- you watch too much FAUX news. There is no there, there any where. I thought the subpoenaed phone records. In your mind is that the same as phone tappingp once again, too much FAUX news.

    To be a Republican today, one must be Rich, Cruel, or Ignorant, and they are not mutually exclusive. Why would anyone vote Republican against their own self interest or my interest? Go figure...

    When I was growing up, I remember my mother telling me that just because Johnny jumps off the bridge, that doesnt meen you have to. So in other words, its everyone fault but the person who signed the bill. Sort of like clinton and Nafta which is why hillary has NO chance of winning an election.

    And it just shows that you cant depend on "democRATs" to abide by their own principles. Dems led by that 1% er Obama are just as self serving as any republiCON so it sort of looks like they are both in on the scam to do nothing and blame it on each other.

    Maybe they should both look at French history, that is if they can actually read.

    By the way, our nation is quickly becoming a 3rd world country and as soon as this royal scam plays out, we will be.

    What is most funny is that it was created by the republiCON god, raygun. That just proves how stupid republiuCONs and so called conservatives really are.

  • It doesn't take $50 million to make a point.   12 years 1 week ago

    I think it has become quite obvious that the "government" is too incompetent to be trusted with our tax dollars.

    They are simply too corrupt.

  • It doesn't take $50 million to make a point.   12 years 1 week ago

    This is going down in history for being the most disruptive/racist Congress on record. This shows you that the Republican Party sure likes to cut taxes for the 1% and spend like the misleading information conservative that they are, for the benefit and profitability for the aristocracy we have in this country. The Republican Party is for the upper class of a hereditary nobility only, they want to put the working family, the common man and woman to the level of being peasants. The Republican have a hard time learning don’t they. Anything to stop the progress of America to regain our status in the world, just for the benefit of the few, sad isn’t it. Maybe the Republican Party should take a look at history, especially the French history.

    Yep, Obamacare is a total left wing liberal progressive cluster f##k. The republicans/conservatives had zero input and not one voted for it. It was all the liberal democrats 2700 pages of incomprehensible garbage but now we will all have to live with it and oh yes the Gestapo we call the IRS to inforce those pesky fines. Thanks again John Roberts.

  • Should political groups get tax-exempt status?   12 years 1 week ago

    All contributions to politicians should be subject to a 99.99999% tax. Since they don't have to cajones for public financing this may be the only way to get the goddamn money out of policymaking, marginalize the Citizens United travesty, and return gubbamint of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, and, for the PEOPLE, back to the PEEPUL!!!!!! Same tax rate applies to PACs and other " not for profits" slithering around as 501(c)(3)'s and (c)(4)'s. DO YOU HEAR US KKKARL ROVE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It doesn't take $50 million to make a point.   12 years 1 week ago

    JMHO< So called "Obama Care" That isn't what was sought for, what was sought for was obstructed day one. Eventually with mid term elections on the horizon , having failed, Obama elected to concede to Single payer, that failed, then Obama elected to concede to the Romney plan but even that couldn't pass as riders and complexities were added to the bill to the point of incomprehensible complexity. Eventually he forced it through (now spun as "Obama Care" ) in order to get rid of the stigma and move on. But again , that was not what was sought for, the reason it wound up being what we got stuck with was a result of concessions and complications (riders) from the left in addition to obstructions and complications (riders) from the right in order to prevent the Executive from succeeding at anything regardless of merit to a point bordering on insanity when Obama finally essentially attempted to wash his hands of the whole mess in an effort to put the controversy to rest with the mid term elections being the more imperative deciding factor which in turn proved out to be a lost cause on top of a lost cause.

  • Should political groups get tax-exempt status?   12 years 1 week ago

    Wish I could vote both options, but it is obvious to me that the reason they applied for 501(c)(4) status is to avoid having to disclose their donors.

  • Get ready for another derivative meltdown.   12 years 2 weeks ago

    DAnneMarc, I disappeared because the government put me in Guantanimo. But when they found out that I like waterboarding and am entertained by electric shocks and kept asking them to up the voltage while singing the national anthem, they got freaked out and let me go.

    Don't worry, I'm fine. I simply need to take a break from politics from time to time, to remind myself that the sun is shining.

    All The News That Mark Twain Says He Would Report If He Was Alive Today

    Reverse Renditioning Program Started By Homeland Security

    Last Friday, Barry Alan Swegle of Port Angeles, Washington settled a long-standing feud: he got himself a bulldozer and levelled the homes of four of his neighbors. After Mr. Swegle finished crushing the last vestige of the fourth house, and was standing on top of the bulldozer pumping his fist at the sky, he was arrested without incident.

    But before Mr. Swegle could get his day in court- and in a strange twist on the concept of renditioning, a joint task force comprised of Homeland Security and the Mosad (Israel's version of the KGB), declared Mr. Swegle to be a national treasure of both America and Israel, and he was whisked out of the Port Angeles jail and put on an Air America gulfstream jet to be flown to Israel, where, after a hero's welcome and a short training session, he was slated to begin a new life and a new career, bulldozing the homes of Palestinians who have the unmitigated chutzpah to think that they are allowed to own property.

    As he was boarding the plane, Mr. Swegle voiced a touching concern for the people whose houses he had bulldozed in Port Angeles, saying, "They was in the houses when I bulldozed 'em, wasn't they? Because if they wasn't, I'm going back there."

    Mosad special agent Moishe Feinblatt, who was charged with the job of supervising Mr. Swegle's adjustment to Israeli ways, said, "Don't you worry about that, you mensche, you: we will send a few people over there to finish the job if need be. Right now, Yawyeh needs you on the Left Bank to do a little singing and dancing, and also to bulldoze some Palestinians."

    Ever concerned with the practical elements of life, Mr. Swegle said, "What about beer? Because I ain't singing and dancing if you ain't got no beer. But I might bulldoze them houses for you even if you ain't got beer. But you'll have to get me some beer."

    The Twain Report is encouraged to know that America is willing to share its genetically interesting with our very best friends in all the world, because after all, any enemy of theirs is an enemy of ours- no questions asked. And besides, if anyone needs killing, it's those Palestinians- they're not from around here.

    A reporter allowed on the plane as it waited for clearance to taxi onto the runway said he saw Mr. Swegle being trained to say, "Kill them all and let Yahweh sort them out," but said that Mr. Swegle kept getting off task, saying, "Are you sure I'm going to get to bulldoze stuff? Because if I can't bulldoze stuff, I ain't going."

    The Israeli hypnotist screamed, "Oy gevalt! After all I've done for you, you alter kaker, you, this is the way you treat me? I'm telling mom!"

    Mr. Swegle responded, "I'm not going to ask you again: where is that beer you promised me? Because if you ain't got beer, I ain't going."

    In an apparent accident, as the plane taxied onto the runway, the door opened and Mr. Swegle came flying out, landing on the tarmac.

    The Mosad responded to The Twain Report's phone calls with what appears to be a photocopied form letter that read, "You're not the boss of us."

  • The Real IRS Scandal   12 years 2 weeks ago

    I agree before in the fifties when our economy worked taxes on people over $75,000 was extreme but they had benefits for reinvesting in this country. Now corporations buy congress as a way of common business practice.

    I just wish everyone who listens to this station would put movetoamend on their facebook link and ask their friends to repost as a favor for our grandparents struggles. They fought and died for us.

    We have aloud oursselves complacency , and owe our relatives this too little if not too late.

    Please talk less and action more. Amen

  • The Real IRS Scandal   12 years 2 weeks ago

    Vital point, we have to crystal clear. Our lawmaking process is designed to keep up to date with cultural changes. As a people we have to DECIDE, then act upon what we need to do for our society. Letting financial horders continue to hoard regardless of the social consequences is not an option. The laws need to based on the principle of what is best for the most, not the few. With support via laws that make social sense the IRS works just fine. Without oversight of our "public servants" it all deteriorates. We have to keep up with the fast pace of those obsessed with having $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
