What’s been tough is making you idiots understand simple math…it’s hopeless.

With write-offs, a person making one million can get away paying only FICA tax of 12 point something on the first 94k. But you wouldn’t know that, would you.

It used to be – in the olden days of the 60s before the trickle down bait and switch shenanigans of the republicans took hold – that only Dad had to work. By the late 70s, Mom joined him so that families could make ends meet.

Things worsened in the 80’s with the S&L debacle…here’s a group of folks among those responsible for that and the $4,187 per every person in the US had added to his personal debt.

The lying, thieving Bushes – Poppy George brought drugs into this country
If you look at the mid-1980s, which was really the period at which all of the various covert operations of the Reagan-Bush administration, the war in Central America, the war in Afghanistan, similar activities throughout Africa, were at their takeoff point. And, that coincides with the period of the biggest single increase in the distribution and volume of sales of illegal drugs in the United States and around the world.

One of the "special situations" that Bush was the director of, was the war in Central America: the creating of the Contra apparatus. The story that came out in the San Jose Mercury News about the role of a particular group of high-ranking Contra officials (Norwin Meneses, Blandon), in bringing cocaine into the United States, helping to launch the crack epidemic in Los Angeles, in South Central and Compton and other neighborhoods: This was all done on George Bush's watch. He was the ultimate person responsible...fully aware that this was going on.
I say this on the basis of simply reviewing the findings of a number of government investigations: the Kerry Committee in the U.S. Senate, Lawrence Walsh's Special Prosecutor's investigation, the criminal trial of Ricky Ross, and the testimony of a number of professional drug enforcement officials, whose job it was to investigate these crimes in the 1980s, and who did a credible job, and found the evidence leading right to George Bush's door.

When the Taliban took over Afghanistan – poppy production for heroin was at ZERO, so of course Bush jr. invaded and today:
Afghanistan heroin production soars
2.39, Tue Nov 14 2006

Heroin production has rocketed in Afghanistan over the past five years despite the presence of Nato troops.
Afghanistan supplies almost 90 per cent of the world's heroin and a record opium harvest, the raw material for the drug, is expected this year.
When British troops first went into the country, Prime Minister Tony Blair said one of the great benefits of overthrowing the Taliban regime would be to seriously disrupt Afghanistan's drugs industry.
