Please, look up the word "self-sufficient". It does not matter that you, as a liberal, read too much into what is written. Yes, I would consider Rush Limbaugh as being a self-reliant, and, self-sufficient human being.
Am I more successful than Bloomberg? I would say just as successful. However, I am not a politician and do not have the luxury of being able to hire tax lawyers to shelter my money through loopholes.
Rich - Make more, so they pay more.
Poor - Make less, so they pay less.

You are really starting to sound like Bill Clinton who insisted he was using a different meaning to the word "is". I thought my story about Rush exchanging his opinion for auto repairs was simple enough or making the machinery that runs his studio; he couldnt''. In my mind no one is self sufficient and the artificial monetary system we have setup does not dilute my opinion of self sufficient. We all need each other.
And with regard to taxes, you seems to be making excuses as to why Bloomberg is taxed at a lower rate. Just because he can afford an army of accountants to figure out how to reduce his taxes to nil does not change the fact, he is being taxed at a lower rate than his secretary. You are the on who brought up the "unfair" Progressive Tax system and I gave an example how that system is just as unfair with its gifts to the rich.- Reply to this comment

JMAGAROTZ -- FAHREN demostrates the fabric of what I''ve been discussing this morning with his every post.
The typical liberal mindset, as you already know, will fabricate anything and everything to suit his/her need for self gratification.
Self gratification, by whatever mean achieved, is one of the most important character traits of a liberal. - Reply to this comment
- It is understandable that you are ignorant of some of the founding fathers thoughts on the matter of Progressive Taxation. I think you need to read some.

I, sir or madam, have read more than a few of the "Founding Fathers" quotes, enough to know a selective hack job when I see one. As for the word "Ignorant", I will leave you with these words, "Ignorance can be cured but, Stupidity is Terminal". There is no kind description for those who would twist the words of others to suit their adjenda. For example: "THE Tree of Liberty is a fragile one. Its Roots must occasionally be watered by soaking the Rich." Is your fabrication, the quote reads as follows:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure". Thomas Jefferson

It is your opinion that they are paying their fair share. Bloomberg complained that his secretary was taxed at a higher rate that he. Are you more successful than Bloomberg? Do you have the financial savy of this man?

My good friend. Just a couple of points here:
As for Rush Limbaugh, here you have a man that has achieved success through his own personal initiative. His success has absolutely nothing to do with the achievements of the auto mechanic.
As for your comments about the founding fathers, the "Rich" already pay far more than do the under-achievers of this society today.
Posted by ALLULOSERS at 10:10 AM : Jan 10, 2009
First off, you ran to the word "success" and ignored the phrase "self sufficient". My argument was directed at the tired conservative myth of "self sufficient". It is obvious that I was correct because you did not address my point directly. Answer the question, is Rush Limbaugh "self sufficient"?

- Opportunists are exactly what they are, opportunists. That means, they take the initiative and achieve their goals through personal achievement and self-reliance.
This however, is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with the liberal philosophy.

Time to shatter the myth of conservative self reliance.
Lets take Rush Limbaugh. Do you think that he could barter with a mechanic to repair his car with one of his shows ie his opinion on whatever subject came to his mind? The mechanic would laugh in his face. Did Rush build the machinery that runs his radio show, did he build the very chair his fat a-s sits on in that station? No one, I mean no one, is truly self reliant unless they are living an ancient agrarian life style. And since you are posting to this forum, you do not qualify.

- Excellent posts. Fear not your opponents for they are the Problem not the Solution. The lazy will always insist the Successful have a "duty" to support them. In the next few years we must use the example of "nanny state" government to reverse direction and require the able bodied leeches of society to pull their own weight. I along with many others support and work tward this goal. Again thanks for your posts, they bring a breath of fresh air to an other wise fetid commentary.

Thank you. It is true that the "liberal mindset" is a mental disorder, of sorts.
A perfect example would be the "Vietnam War". Countless millions of people were slaughtered after the liberal movement forced us to abandon the spread of communism.
Do you think the "liberals" cared how many died? No. What mattered most to them at that particular time, was the fact that they achieved success, at the cost of millions, for their own personal satisfaction. - Reply to this comment
- Unemployemnt in 1975 was 8.3%.....in 76 it was 7.6%.....in 1980 it was 7%. We won''''t even talk about inflation or the "misery index."
"Worst economy since the great depression?" I think not. More lib distortions, propaganda and lies? I think so.

The Conservative plan to fix the economy; give the banks who created these exotic financial instruments of mass destruction unconditional cash gifts. It would appear the conservatives not only create deficits, they have a significant deficit of intelligence to boot. - Reply to this comment
- I read some of this tripe by Rossiter, and what he describes can be attributed to opportunists, not liberals. It all sounds like he gets his talking points from Ann Coulter.

Somehow, your description of "opportunists", are not synonomous with the liberal''s mindset of a nanny state.
Opportunists are exactly what they are, opportunists. That means, they take the initiative and achieve their goals through personal achievement and self-reliance.

The skeptic is intelligent enough to question a handful of "wisemen" who claimed to have received Revelation of God. Someone with intelligence asks the question, "why am I obligated to believe these men who stand to benefit from their claims of being Gods voice?" Then again, you lack even the most basic of critical thinking skills.
But I suppose you are "successful", just like Jesus the entrepreneur who ran a crew of illegal carpenters and pocketed the difference in wages that his own ethnic group would have demanded. Jesus, right at the forefront of the Race to the Bottom. - Reply to this comment

You should pack your bags and head for one or both, immediately! You must have been born in 08, because your statement underscores your lack of intelligence in geo political matters, economics, how your own country''s econonmy works, and what a dictator is.

- Cuba''s unemployment rate is 1.9%
Venezuela''s unemployment rate is 6.9% down from 12% before pre-Chavez in 1996
Iran''s unemployment rate falls to 10% down from 12% before pre-Ahmedinijad
Seems like the economies of so-called ''rogue nations'' are improving as the seek protectionism and reject ''free trade'' stupid policies.

Well, I now bid you liberal dummies adieu. For you see, I have to start working on my basement. The day is young and much work to do.
Yes, my liberal dummy friends, much work to do...
Well, if you dummy had the smarts, perhaps you could be as successful as me. But, perhaps not. Keep relying on the government to take care of all your needs.

Ahhh. Of course, the typical liberal heated response. Well, call it what you will. I, for one, am not the one that need surrogates to take care of me.
Proper planning, hard work, self-initiative, and just plain being able to recognize that relying on govt (via it''s socialistic tendacies), is how I''ve structured by life, and succeeded.
I can see where you are a little jealous of me. - Reply to this comment
