How archaic !<br /><br />The great leveler, the instiller of a false sense of entitlement, our divider-in-chief continues to incite and draw on the basest of human emotions, avarice and class envy, with his shallow, now stale rhetoric of mendacity as he drags out this same repeated failure for time immemorial, the tired old collectivist creed of sloth and deceit, as he seeks ultimately a life by government ration for all of us.<br /><br />It is a creed where equality and environmentalism trumps everything under the sun, even the future of our young.<br /><br />(The 40 are detailed by Stephen Frantzich in his book, “Honored Guest: Citizen Heroes and the State of the Union”.)Carlosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185740361476149540.post-28763548822253734802012-01-27T02:15:05.231-08:002012-01-27T02:15:05.231-08:00Warren Buffett, the third-richest man in the world...Warren Buffett, the third-richest man in the world, has criticised the US tax system for allowing him to pay a lower rate than his secretary.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.orangecountytaxrelief.com/aliso-viejo-tax-attorney-cpa-ea-for-tax-relief-resolution-from-irs-debt-problem/" rel="nofollow">tax debt help aliso Viejo</a>tax debt help aliso viejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852589636474258263noreply@blogger.com
