> pretty sure that most people around the world hate us, I don't know why.
Everybody hates the guy on top. It's also easy to forget America's contributions because we don't brag on them. However, we also bring some blight such as McDonald's and Coca-Cola, maybe lawyers. I can see why people are anti-American but us... |

I'm so ready to be angry at Obama for something other than the deficit. I can't wait to be told what else he is destroying so I can ignore the slow erosion of my civil liberties and economic opportunities. Obamacare will destroy 2.3MM jobs and insure 2MM less people than originally thought according to the same CBO . ... |
Oh, I understood what you said. I am saying that it CAN happen. It has happened many times to many different kinds of laws. You are saying it "cant" happen because the people are against it.

I'm not "throwing a fit." I'm stating a fact. This isn't a "card" of any kind.

We should expect our representatives to have better credentials than simply being alive in the US for 25 years. both people that replied to you so far are dumb. being 25 years old, etc, makes him *eligible* to be in congress. not necessary qualified.

Outside the fact of some Republican backing, I'm not sure how this is bad. Why isn't there any concern about federal power-grabbing and the breakdown of the separation of powers?

This is one of those things that if a Democrat had thought up, /r/politics would be all over how great of an idea it was. The average person has no idea why having state legislatures appoint senators gives the average person MORE say in the senate.

You're afraid of lower taxes? They aren't afraid of lower taxes. They never will be. What they are afraid of is when austerity makes them freer and they have to think and do more on their own. |
Why does /r/politics allow op-ed submissions? Anything that supports a liberal agenda, regardless if source, is allowed. |
Neither do I. Spelling things right isn't something that requires me to do so. Well for me correct spelling requires a little more thought. I have tendency to invert characters and homophones.

No convictions for Iran-Contra and the Taliban weren't around then.
Care to show more of your ignorance? Son, I scored a 5 on the AP US History test. I don't think you're qualified to preach at me about my ignorance of American history. |
I stated two facts you got wrong, Sport.
It's not a grey area.
I will modify my Iran-Contra statement to say there were no convictions related to arms smuggling ist was all minor, unrelated stuff.
It was a 14+ year prosecution that consumed tens of millions of dollars.

Who we funded became the Northern Alliance and fought the Taliban. The actual Taliban was funded funded by Saudi money mostly as well as their deals with Pakistan. Awesome. More lefty children to come downvote facts that don't fit their narrative. |

I would be surprised if it's Hillary actually. The whole "look everyone, I have a vagina" game only goes so far when you're that deeply entrenched in the political military industrial banking organized labor big business complex. Right but left wingers are blind to those sort of things. |
Yeah, because Democrats don't do that. They're the honest good guys! Why not donate to a politician that you like instead of a political party anyways?

Quite frankly, I don't believe him, and I think it's awful of him to say it at all.

Because its unrealistic to assume every job can support a family. The majority of those working full time that are still on welfare have kids.

Salary caps, bonus limits, make it more rewarding to have modest wealth than it is to horde money. If you make more than $1mil/year, you pay 50% income tax. At $999k/year its 30%. A bonus cannot exceed the annual salary of the lowest paid employee in the company. |
