I would be interested to see this spending graph as a percentage of revenues instead of as a percentage of expenditures.

Why? The absolute numbers would change but the proportions would remain the same.

Americans can relate to "revenues" (it's the same concept as "annual salary"), but Americans have no way to relate to "expenditures".

If I take 19.8% of all the money that goes out and give it to social security - that's hard to relate to when most money-smart working Americans actually have higher "revenues" than "expenditures".

If, on the other hand, I were to take that number and suggest the following:

You spend:
40% of your income on defense
35% on social security
20% on overpriced healthcare for old people
19% on "what the hell is a safety-net program and why am I spending money on it?"
17% on overpriced healthcare for poor people
11% on interest just to keep your loans from going up
4% on gas
2% on gifts for the neighbors who don't mow their lawn and whose kids steal from you
Now, how much do you have leftover for "everything else"?

Well then, people might start to understand that there's a problem.

Okay, but the federal tax revenue doesn't actually fund federal tax expenditures. The "revenue" is destroyed and new money is created as the federal government spends it.

Archive.org shows that the Dystel website used the following biography for Obama as of April 3, 2007:


BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.


By April 21, 2007, the Obama bio had been changed to state that Obama was born in Hawaii:


BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

gotta love public indoctr... schools (start at 1:10):




The argument started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:
The teacher started to get angry and said:
A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry teacher.
As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by the teacher. She continued:
Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the histories of both men, with one saying:
The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:
Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment right.
The still unidentified teacher read the student her rules…her Obama rules.
The back and forth continued and the most strident of the two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to negative statements about him while he was in office:
To which the teacher responded:
The social studies educator went on for a full minute with more ranting, saying that people were arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be arrested unless you threaten the president.

Hey guys, did you know that they dont always read your rights to you when you're arrested? I'm saying that to you.

I thought this was pretty interesting

edit: I should probably state that I do not agree or disagree. Just found this interesting.

Because Van Jones posseses enough brain cells to be able to form complete sentences?

I find this interesting:





If he practiced what he preached, he wouldn't be who he is an the people he's "fighting for" would actually progress instead of :insertmysignature:

I was once read my rights as they uncuffed me.

Depends on the cop involved and the situation. Some cops are crazy power trips, some are cool as ----. Some situations you don't exactly have the time to read the scum person their rights.

Ohh yeah, it also depends on the person getting arrested. Lots of variables here.

watch the video and it's funnier. the "teacher" yells this in one of her rants.

Well, looks like he is crazy, lol.

I would be scared as fuk to arrest you. I can imagine it being intimidating considering the size of the bounty on your head. $$60,000,000,000 is a lot of money.
