Heh....good point Jesus.....if a revolution began here in the US, Thomas Jefferson would be wondering from his grave "What took you so long?".

The sheeple are conditioned to believe that Congressmen and women are going to represent THEM, when instead they are only going to represent the corporate interests who funded them, as well as toeing the 'party line'.

sad, but true.
if the founding fathers were alive today, the state of the nation they gave their lives to begin would utterly disgust them.

Which is odd because if you asked 10 Americans if the country is fucked up and are politicians corrupt, 9 out 10 would say yes.......yet we keep voting in the lesser of two evils and allowing our government to be bought and sold by the corporations.

We the People are really some lazy fucking bastards.

Negroes treated as equals. They would be utterly appalled.

That's more racist than anything i've said...

true, and any mexicans trying to cross the border would have been shot outright.
same thing pretty much applies to us indians............they would not have approved of anything other than our total eradication.
another thing that they would be appalled by is women voting, as well as women
being anything other than wives, mothers, maids, seamstresses, nurses, caretakers, or school teachers.
indians like me also being treated as equals.....that would really have utterly appalled them.....
there are a lot of things the founders would be appalled by too numerous to bother even to mention.

I would hope that you are less racist than an 18th century slave trader. What do you want, a medal?

“How would you solve the budget?”

I would tax the living shit out of the rich! I’m tired of hearing how little Suri Cruise walks around in $1000 designer shoes with a matching purse. Or how J-Lo’s kids are cruising around in a $16,000 diamond studded stroller designed by Gucci. I saw an episode of Cribs with Deion Sanders; he was riding around in his house in a scooter bragging about how many rooms his house has. He said he really doesn’t know for sure how many rooms it has because he hasn’t seen the whole house. What about Puff Daddy during the Katrina telethon asking US peons to give money while he was wearing a seven million dollar blue diamond cross? WTH?!?!

If you fall into this category you make way to much money! Yeah, call me a socialist, I don’t give a crap.

Actually, celebrities pay taxes. They are juicy targets of the IRS if they don't. Government agencies love to bust celebrities. The DEA put Thomas Chong in prison when it was his son who was making and selling bongs. The SEC threw Martha Stewart in jail when major Wall Street criminals do zero time. The rich pay taxes, the wealthy don't. It's the people who own major shares of stock in companies like Comcast who don't pay any taxes. The celebrities who work for a Comcast owned network pay their taxes or they get fined or go to jail.

It's quite a bit of a double standard and double edged sword.......
