I think the idea with Windows 8 is that many businesses and government agencies are sticking with Windows 7 or just moved to 7 this year so Microsoft is tailoring 8 mainly for tablets and as a transition to Windows 9 when they'll more smoothly have all the form factors (desktops, laptops...
Except we had a civil war which pretty much decided that federal law trumps state law. The US Constitution prohibits any state from making any law which denies equal protection to a group of people. If this really is a constitutionality issue as you claim, then the 14th amendment of the US...
I'm not talking about all marriages, I'm talking about gay marriages. How specifically does gay marriage hurt society? If enough gay people get married, would it all of the sudden turn straight people gay, leading to no new births and the end of the human race? Would the act of gay married...
Yeah, I'm going to have to call bullshit on your statement there. The constitution has a little something called the equal protection clause that is part of the 14th amendment which prohibits any state from denying any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the law. Denying people...
This right here is exactly the type of shit I'm talking about. The money paid into social security gets put in the general fund, it gets spent and in its place are IOU's/government bonds, and instead of recognizing that those IOU's/government bonds represent debt that should be paid back, we...
Fine, put it in the form of gov't bonds that's inflation protected, but still keep those bonds separate from the general fund and perhaps even have a separate and new class of bonds that can't be defaulted on or even threatened to be defaulted on like during the debt ceiling fiasco. SS should...
I'm against raising the SS cap unless the SS fund is separated from the general fund so that our elected leaders can't keep borrowing from it as they've been doing. SS should go into a separate fund that no one can touch except for SS purposes.
Right now, SS theoretically has a $2 trillion...
I'm sure if we eliminate the government and get rid of the gas tax then consumers will get the savings passed down to them just like how the airline industry passed the savings down to consumers when the FAA couldn't collect taxes due to the jerkoffs in Congress.
Edit: Nevermind, just saw your sig, so I think you definitely picked up on the sarcasm. If a progressive income tax is not your definition of fair, what's your solution? A flat tax where everyone pays the same flat percentage regardless of income level? That would either not bring in enough...
"And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury; and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say...
Our elected "leaders" have gotten people convinced that nothing related to government can possibly work. If there is an agency which is working, they'll rob it, cut funding to it, or "oversee" it to it to the point that it can no longer possibly function properly thereby proving their point...
Isn't the raising of the debt ceiling was so we could pay for debt we already incurred rather than to authorize to borrow more? Refusing to raise it is like if someone were to pay all their bills with their credit card and then say that they won't pay the credit card bill.
Refusing to take on...
Government has stepped in to manipulate the market by placing short sale limits.
Edit: Whoops, read the article wrong. Yesterday's slide triggered short sale rules...
