“Hello! Is anyone paying attention? Separation of church and state! Revoke tax exemption from any denomination that feels justified in violation of this Constitutional tenet.”

“Separation of Church and State is in the Constitution? I thought that was something Jefferson came up with to since he was sleeping with his slaves, and folks said that was wrong?”

“Actions like this require investigation of the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church and any other denomination that actively participates in political action.”

“Both the Catholic and LDS Churches' tax exempt status should be rescinded.”
Rich Germans Demand Higher Taxes
Commented Oct 23, 2009 at 19:36:07 in World
“My wife (RIP) and I would have a conversation on this topic every April. She very strongly felt that as beneficiaries of the many services provided by federal, state and local government, we should be willing to pay our fair share of taxes. What exactly was fair is a topic that never seems to be discussed, at least in the hall of Congress where it could be resolved. When I was young, the top, incremental tax rate was about 90%. Obviously, only the very wealthy paid that rate and only on a relatively small percentage of their income. Today, many of the very wealthy pay less tax than the middle class and still keep lawyers rich figuring how to lower the number to zero. I would love to see a few T. Boone Pickens or Bill Gates pushing a referendum for the wealthy to pay more tax.”
RTIII replied on Oct 24, 2009 at 14:48:03
“Though I really _really_ don't like the guy, actually Gates once talked about this and indicated that he thought the rich didn't pay enough taxes and while he didn't say these exact words, wouldn't mind paying more himself.

“Not really sure how a $7.6 billion price tag equal slave labor.”

“I have lived in the UAE for 2 years. Laborers swelter in 115 F temps, 14 hours a day. Then they are bused in non air conditioned buses back to their "labour camps". They sleep 8-12 in a room, 25-50 men share one bathroom. Many are "lent" money by the company they work for to buy a ticket here and to pay for their visas. Their passports are taken until they pay this off. At their slave-like wages, this takes years. They cannot quit their jobs. They do not have their passports, they don't have money for a plane ticket. If they are in debt, they will be put in debtors jail (Islamic law) if they leave. They cannot go work for another company. They are forced to sign contracts before coming here. Their employers will not "release" them. They are considered "absconded" and their work visas are blocked by the employer. Housemaids suffer abuse: beatings, rapes, murder.

“You are kidding, right? Oh I get it, you are still stuck in that trickle-down garbage economics. I am sure part of that money will trickle down to the slave laborers just like it always trickle down to us here. Yeah, riiiight!”

“Not really sure what you are wondering. Are you saying the because the pricetag was huge that that means slave labor couldnt have possibly been used? I hope not because that was exactly what happened.”
Ted Turner Wants "Less Fluffy News," "Less Talk, More News" On CNN
Commented Oct 16, 2009 at 20:30:37 in Media
“Dear Ted,
Nothing would make me happier than to see you back at the helm at CNN (and on a new Courageous). Now those were the days. News was news and the U.S. was all powerful in yacht racing. The coverage of the first Gulf War has heart stopping. Now it is just Pentagon propaganda. Would love to see a news organization like the original CNN. Balls, integrity and perspective. Wow, what a concept.

“The Federal Government has so many ways to put a stop to this or any other sort of discrimination by withholding funds to states that violate civil rights issues. And not just education funds when the school system is at fault, but all funds. The states rights crowd will have a hissy fit, of course but the U.S. is becoming a laughing stock around the world for having no coherent minimum education standards, for instance. Teaching creationism as science or banning sex education is just backward.”

“Well said. Our Puritan heritage is an almost daily pox on our political and social life. Church interfering in elections, the radical right and evangelicals politicizing all manner of purely moral issues. Religious litmus tests for political office. Quite honestly, if a professed atheist were to run for high office, I would campaign tirelessly for his/her election. It would have to be an improvement.”

“Well, my Lexus doesn't have an ignition key, there's a button. The article says the engine will turn off if you hold the button for three seconds, but I didn't know that until I read it. And I'm wondering if three seconds would be soon enough in an emergency. Putting it in neutral would have been a good thing.”

“A number of years ago, while visiting London with my family, we spent an afternoon in the British Museum. What we saw there coupled with the description of the art collection at Buckingham Palace left us with the distinct impression the Great Britons' magnificence was largely based on items stolen from the far reaches of the historical empire. Having it as your history is one thing, reveling in it today is quite another. It left a very bad taste in my mouth.”

As for 'revelling in it', what nonsense, foreigners "revel" in Britains galleries and museums, we Brits are barbarians.”
