Excellent quote. *NM* Tom Send a noteboard - 30/08/2010 12:36:20 AM
He was objecting to the characterization of the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress as "spending like a drunken sailor."

His reply? "As a former drunken sailor, I quit when I ran out of money."
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

You cannot seriously agree with the Republicans about extending the Bush tax cuts. Legolas - 30/08/2010 09:07:59 AM 679 Views
I would target lowering the corporate rate and helping pass-through entities with cuts. Tom - 30/08/2010 02:52:55 PM 738 Views
How many companies actually pay that corporate tax rate, though? Legolas - 30/08/2010 03:37:47 PM 870 Views
In reality, virtually no company in the US pays anywhere near the actual corporate tax rate. Variant - 31/08/2010 11:12:05 AM 802 Views
