I am the 53%

I chose a major in college that would have multiple career path opportunities, each of which would be in demand.
I went to a community college for my first two years and got an AS degree. This allowed me to get the general education classes that almost all colleges require out of the way at a lower cost.
I then transfered to an affordable in state school to have lower tuition.
I worked hard to keep my grades up so that I could get a partial scholarship.
I now have a good and work hard to keep it and be valuable to my employer so that I get good annual reviews and get pay increases.
I don't dress like a slob.
I bathe daily.
I keep my hair clean and neatly cut.
I keep my beard trimmed and presentable.
I take responsibility for my bills and pay them.
I don't make purchases on my credit card that I can't pay.
I pay property and school taxes.
I pay income tax.
I don't have time to protest for days on end. If I did have the time due to not having a job I'd be spending that time trying to get a job instead of taking a shit on cop cars.

I am the 53%

Good for Boehner

I'm glad Boehner told the president no. Obama needs to realize he is president, not king or dictator. The media is yapping about Boehner not respecting the Office of President. Well how about Obama not respecting Congress by publicly announcing a date without agreeing to it with Congress first?

Obama took Air Force One on his "bus tour"

word is getting out that obama actually flew on his bus tour and only rode the buses from the airport to the meeting locations
Added to michele flying out 4 hours ahead of barrack for their vacation and it makes me really start to wonder just how out of touch they are with America's current problems

Fair share

I'm tired of hearing that the rich don't pay their fair share. Depending on what level you use to define "rich" they pay approximately one to two thirds of all income tax in America. Drop it down to the upper half of Americans and you get 95-97% of all income tax paid depending on the quoted source.

How about the 50% of Americans that aren't paying jack shit, and in many cases are likely getting money from the system, start paying THEIR "fair share"

Tax codes need to change so that it is not possible to get a net gain when filing your income tax return. I might, just might, be ok with certain cases breaking even but that's pushing it. Additionally, when figuring someone's income things like food stamps, housing assistance, medicaid, HEAP, etc should all count towards calculating their taxable income. If obama wants to tax the employer paid portion of people's health insurance it's only fair to tax those other things.

The safety net has become a way of life for far too many, in some cases multiple generations within a family.

The 50% of non payers need to start paying, even if it's only $10/year.

And before someone says I hate poor people, I think that not being able to have a net gain when filing your taxes should apply to businesses too. We can start with taking away GE's $3.2 billion handout and charging them the normal rate on their $5 billion US operations profit.

Interesting commentary on the Iowa floods

Something to give some thought to

Legislature passes funeral protest limits

it's a start
http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/new_york/Lawmakers-back-funeral-protest-limits
One bill triples the buffer zone for protests around a religious service, funeral, burials or memorial services from 100 to 300 feet.

Another authorizes a permit process for demonstrations at veteran funerals and fines for failure to comply.

Palin emails

so the media is going nuts and asking the public to help them go through all these emails released from when Palin was in office

All this for someone no longer in office and unlikely to actually be on the ballot for president

It might be better for the country to spend that time and resources on investigating current ongoing corruption and criminal activity by politicians actually in office

Hey Wegmans

I know 12:45AM on a Sunday night/Monday morning probably isn't all that busy normally, but you need to train the night shift stock boys to be able to open a register if it gets busy. Or if you insist on only having one cashier at least make sure it is one that knows how to scan and bag with some speed and efficiency. The line was long and moving much slower than it needed to, and with a foreigner, likely a UB student, standing in it with bad BO the slowness was even more unbearable.

In my opinion Jack Davis is a liar

His campaign ad that came in the mail claims he's a long time republican
Bullshit, long time republicans wouldn't donate to louise slaughter and other democrats

Nor would they run as a democrat every time they've run for this same House seat

Too bad the DA hadn't charged him with 1st degree

http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/crime/Two-years-after-beheading-Hassan-found-guilty

"The jury deliberated for only about 50 minutes, convicting the defendant on second degree murder."

More propaganda from the leftist media

As everyone should be aware of by now there was a shooting in AZ last week. The media immediately said it was due to republicans and the tea party. But as time as gone on we've found out that the shooter wasn't really into politics but likely leaned to the left. He has been bad mouthing Giffords since 2007 which is before Palin became a household name or the tea party got going. He had made multiple death threats in the past and the police did nothing, had multiple run ins with campus police and nothing happened, and multiple people have come forward claiming to have known him and saying that he seemed to be losing it yet they too did nothing.

Now to top it off one of the victims is a rabid leftist and at a town hall meeting told a tea party member "you're dead"
Luckily the police acted this time and he was arrested and involuntarily committed to a psych ward for evaluation.

So mainstream media, where is the violence coming from again?
