Gates: Afghanistan Failure Would Have 'Severe Consequences'

Gates: Afghanistan Failure Would Have 'Severe Consequences'

“I wish the media would also have called Bush out for taking his eye off the ball in Afghanistan just so he could top daddy by chasing Saddam out of Baghdad. Bush failed in finishing the job of bringing Bin-Laden and Al Queda to justice and compounded his failure by devoting men, material, trillions of dollars and over 4000 US soldiers lives (not to mentiopn hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis) in Iraq. This was Bush's greatest failure among many great failures.”

“"If the issue is they control wealth, then implement a net worth tax. "

Then I take it you favor allowing the estate tax cuts to expire in 2011?

"Unfortunately, I'm one those top 1% of all income earners that pay over 40% of all personal income taxes."

Unfortunately, I cannot bring myself to sympathize with your whining about it. Maybe you should count your blessings instead!”

“Forgot to answer your question about "estate tax" - Part of me is for it (The part that knows that right now my estate would not be subject to it).

But the part of me that thinks it's just not right taking more money from the estate of a person after he's alreadt paid taxes his whole life.

When is enough enough?”

lordhelpusall replied on Nov 30, 2009 at 16:54:55

“My blessings are going to pay for my 30% in federal and state tax, my mortgage on my house that is worth about half of the mortgage I have on it and debts from a previous failed business. I have no retirement even though I am closing in my retirement age. But all I know to do is to keep working to get out of the hole I'm in. And all the while, try to get by with less as I get hit with more and more taxes. I know it would be easier, to do like most by walking away from my mortgage and prior business debt and even reduce my taxes by drastically reducing my work load, but that just isn't me.....So I'll continue on being one of the "filthy rich" as libs like to refer to people like me by....”

“They may be spineless, but citizens must do our part and start contacting our senators (especially in red states) and tell them to support the Kerry Boxer bill. Do we want the U.S. to become the lagger in the new green economy or the leader? Let's put the U.S. first! Give our kids a chance....­.put this country on the path to green energy, green jobs and no reliance on foreign oil.

Call your senators..­..send them emails. It only takes a couple of minutes. You can be sure the fossil fuel industry is sending in their lobbyists. If you can post on HP, you can send an email to your senator.”
