I clicked every space I could find to be able to type and nada!<br />I know its my ignorance but I could use some help in figuring out where I am uninformed as to how the chat works.spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-5065269179618745462013-01-05T00:56:48.500-05:002013-01-05T00:56:48.500-05:00I know a very many of them.

She had stories of how planned P saved her life by finding uterin Cancer.(referring her to be diagnosed)<br />When told that all that was desired was to not have tax $$$$ go toward abortion via programs like planned parenthood,the outrage and denial was close to apoplectic.<br />She was convinced that there were to be immediate laws banning/shutting down such programs.<br />Its truly scary what people believe.<br />But if you want to be scared even more.....<br />This person is a facebook and every person she meets chatterbox.<br />Remember the shampoo commercial.<br />You tell two people and they tell two people etc...<br /><br />This is the chatterwall that is the misinformed.<br />And yet the Conservative must watch every word and shy away from such conversations.<br />I lomg ago heard a tale about why the Chinese adopted such large rimmed hats as a mainstay of hat-wear.<br /><br />The story was that the Chinese Rulers mandated the size of hat. Why you ask?<br />So the citizens couldn't get close enough to each-other to whisper without being heard by others.<br />That is I am sure a far fetched story but it is how a fearful Gov works.<br />Today the PC mantra serves the same purpose!<br />Just think about it. The Pub was the main place to hash out the differences with governance and any other difficulties.At the point when it became un PC to discuss politics or Religion in pubs civil communication took a blow to its broadside.<br />And after so many years of "large rimmed hats" the populace lost the ability to discuss differences face to face.<br />Think about that for a moment.<br />And then I would love to hear your thoughts.spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-57763472336007080022013-01-05T00:29:12.817-05:002013-01-05T00:29:12.817-05:00Here ya go:

Thirteen percent expressed no opinion.<br /><br />Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/22/poll-what-is-the-wealthys-fair-share-of-taxes/#ixzz2H4hBvcGJ<br />So why the disparage? loopholes.<br />And what better way to demonstrate that? GE !<br />GE is to tax loopholes as to the rich dont pay taxes!<br />Obama was more than happy to have the Ge narrative out there. And with the media on his side the the fact that he crafted that outcome was never a catchy issue!spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-70527674138442251012013-01-05T00:23:35.686-05:002013-01-05T00:23:35.686-05:00Ted Cruz says it well.

There are many educated, employed, and even relatively wealthy voters who are poorly informed. I think they are too busy raising their families and running their businesses to look beyond MSM for information. I know a few of them.NumberWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682512594834876895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-27261043126801360042013-01-05T00:02:10.026-05:002013-01-05T00:02:10.026-05:00Absolutely.

What is the top rate for the wealthy to pay in taxes?<br />Overwhelmingly the answer was less than they were paying before this last increase.<br />Thats why I think the reduction/removal of deductions gained some momentum(before the media demonized it with the scare tactic of mortgage deduction elimination).<br />I will see if I can find the poll.<br />But think about that a large majority thinks the fair tax rate should be lower than it was. And many of those voters believe that the rich pay no taxes/mainly because of deductions.<br /><br />Why do you think that there was little outrage among the low information populace when Obama was trying to get rid of the charitable deduction?<br />Answer!!!!<br />Average Joe either cant afford to donate enough to qualify or he doesnt think he donated enough and doesnt want the extra burden of figuring it out come tax time.spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.com
