If you buy that then I have a few items I would like you to purchase as well.
Apparently I'm picking up the tab...
I share your sense of humour about as much as your audacity of entitlement
Who is John? Have you been drinking or doing drugs tonight?
See the fact that you can't even answer the question speaks volumes about where you are coming from. You are either to "slow" to understand my question or you figured out the right answer would incriminate you and your position.
Please explain.
Really....How would you know that exactly?
I don't what?
My God man it's a simple yes or no question and I can't for the life of me figure out why you can't answer it? What gives?
Do you honestly find it fair that I pay a higher % of tax on my income then most Americans just because I decided to apply myself?
I asked you if you thought it was fair? How is that a stupid question?
LIBERALS LOVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, BUT ONLY UP TO $250.000.
Again...
Why didn't you answer my question?

Well I believe that should YOU decide to spread your money around then more power to you as GWB said the IRS will always except more then you owe. Again I believe it should be your choice. My God man it's only fair!

You must be from the why bother working crowd! I for one believe in America and the ability of EVERY American to make great living. I have always made that great living by working my ass off and it's not my fault that other people are to stupid and lazy to do so therefore I have to pay a larger % of my income to Uncle Sam so he can support them in their never ending quest to have cable TV, video games, and all the food stamps their fat buts can handle. Please tell them to get a freaking job and start paying the same % of income tax I am or shut the hell up!
Even though there isn’t a soul in America that believes him, Barack Obama has been running around the country claiming to support a tax cut for the overwhelming majority of Americans. With that in mind, I was happy to see this piece by Newt Gingrich and Peter Ferrara in the Weekly Standard on taxes.
Gingrich and Ferrara argue that most of Obama’s “tax cuts” are for people who don’t actually pay taxes thanks to the low tax policies of President Reagan, President Bush, and Gingrich’s Congress.
The merits of Obama’s plan are of course debatable even though the plan is misguided, but what people need to be aware of is that Obama’s plan does not reduce the amount of money taxpayers are forced to send to the government. Under Obama’s plan, those who actually pay taxes will continue to pay through the nose while those who don’t will receive even more money they did not earn. You could call it lipstick on a pig, but I’d rather call it That 70s Show.
I guess I was being nice?
This is the real Barack Obama, the one who believes in the redistribution of wealth. A caller to Rush Limbaugh’s show on Friday had a great quote about Obama and the Democrats: “Liberals Love the American Dream, but only up to $250.000. The liberal agenda is really to punish those who succeed, and this off-the-cuff remark shows where Obama’s true thoughts on the matter lie. So what if you have a mildly successful plumbing business that makes $250k per year, but you are struggling to make payroll, taxes, and other obligations? Barry will tax you and redistribute your wealth to those who don’t pay any taxes. So what if you live in the Northeast, where a $250k / year salary is not that out of the ordinary, Barry will tax you and redistribute your wealth to those who don’t pay taxes.
The only difference between Obama and Democrat Liberalism and Marxism is packaging.
LIBERALS LOVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, BUT ONLY UP TO $250.000.
It's frustrating to me how many leftists react with outrage at being called socialists and yet, every policy they want to see enacted is socialist in ideology.
The only reason I see for them to take three years to clean up this shell vs purchase another one in about ten seconds is the fact that it is attached at the hip to a base of people who will go down in history as swallowing one of the greatest stock tales of all time. Included in that is the fact that thousands of those same people hold stock in this company and there will be a ton of them who can for what it's worth be easily convinced to purchase more. This will be interesting as hell to follow just remember to shower with some strong soap when this issue comes crashing down like the last one as it won't be easy to get that stink off everyone.
The only thing they are mining is the worlds greatest suckers list....CMKX. No matter how hard they try they will never be able to wash that stink off of themselves.
Wait until Sterling shows up.
USCN-CMKX
Obama backer Jessie Jackson claims we have lost the war in Iraq...
"I don't think this is how things will turn out," he says. "We have a collapsing economy and a war that we have lost in Iraq.

US Canadian Minerals Inc. Auditor Raises 'Going Concern' Doubt
04/25/2008
US Canadian Minerals Inc. filed its 10KSB on April 25, 2008 for the period ending December 31, 2007. In this report its auditor, The Blackwing Group, LLC, gave an unqualified opinion expressing doubt that the company can continue as a going concern.
I guess it goes to show you just what kind of people are really out there. Sickening!
Funny stuff....I can't believe that they are all coming back to pump USCN. I mean really I'm totally floored!
Have you ever been compesated to promote either of these issues?
Are you being paid to promote this issue? Simple question really...
I have taken some time to consider how I will spend my life moving forward how about you?
Have you been paid to pump this issue as well?
Also if this is the case why are you spamming this all over the CMKX board along with the mods?
My point is (and you know it) that you were an insider paid to pump CMKX and you screwed over EVERYBODY. This is relevent as this issue is directly tied into CMKX...Nice try.
I would bet my life on it that you will pump the hell out of this issue and leave everyone high and dry just like CMKX. How many shares have you been paid to tout this? IHUB is putting a new policy in place regarding disclosure so it would be nice if you got out it front of it.
So you joined IHUb in 2004 and just started posting? NOW THAT IS INTERESTING!
Isn't that the same transfer agent the CMKX scam used?
"liver transplant help from Ted Kennedy"
Shhhhh That would be an upgrade for Brig!
So does that mean you are the same guy?
Did Biden Get It Wrong? You Betcha
By John R. Lott, Jr.
When you interview for a job, here is a hint: make sure you know what the job is. Joe Biden failed that test last Thursday. He couldn’t even get right what a vice president does, but the media didn’t notice.
The media is all over itself about how smart and experienced Biden is. Political analyst Charlie Cook is quoted in the Washington Post on Saturday as saying “Biden is clearly so much more knowledgeable, by a factor of about a million.” Saturday Night Live does a skit about Biden being smart, if slimy. Meanwhile, Governor Sarah Palin is treated as being nothing more than a simpleton.
Yet, take Biden’s statement from the debate on the role of the vice president:
Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.
And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.
The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive, and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.
One should be careful when throwing around terms such as “most dangerous” and “bizarre.” But Biden is confusing which part of the Constitution covers the Executive Branch (it is Article II, not Article I). More importantly, the notion that the vice president can preside over the Senate only when there is a tie vote is simply wrong. Nor is it true that the only legislative involvement the vice president has is to break tie votes. The vice president is the president of the Senate, where he interprets the rules and can only be overridden by a vote of 60 senators.
Early vice presidents spent a lot of time in the Senate. Thomas Jefferson even spent his time writing “A Manual of Parliamentary Practice: for the Use of the Senate of the United States.” Modern vice presidents may show up only when they think tie votes will occur, but that is their choice.
This isn’t rocket science. The Constitution on this point is very straightforward: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
Instead, it was Palin who got it right. Besides correctly stating that the vice president holds positions in both the executive and legislative branches, she also noted that:
Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that's not only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very seriously also. I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chooses to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are.
But just as the vice president’s job includes more than simply being ready to assume the presidency if the president dies, the Constitution merely states what the vice president’s minimum responsibilities are.
Compare the uproar over Palin’s answer to Charlie Gibson about the “Bush Doctrine,” a doctrine that Gibson clearly didn’t understand and for which there apparently exist at least four different versions. Where is the outrage over Biden not understanding what vice presidents do? For Biden, his inability to correctly say what vice presidents do was surely his “gotcha” moment.
Yet, this mistake during the debate was hardly unique. Biden got a lot of things wrong in the debate that are going unnoticed by the fact-check media. Take just a few:
-- Will McCain's health care proposals raise taxes? Biden says that McCain’s proposal will cost people money. The Tax Foundation finds that could easily be "roughly deficit-neutral over ten years."
-- Under an Obama Administration the middle class will "pay no more than they did under Ronald Reagan"? No, the tax rates will be similar to the higher rates under Clinton.
-- Did "we spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country"? No, one year’s worth of spending in Iraq equaled five in Afghanistan.
-- France and the U.S. "kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon"? No, and it wouldn't have made much more sense if he had said "Syria" instead.
-- Is it really “simply not true” that Obama said that he would meet with the leader of countries such as Iran without preconditions? No, Obama said “I would.”
-- Did Obama warn against letting Hamas participate in Palestinian legislative elections in 2005? No.
-- Do “Iraqis have an $80 billion surplus”? No. If oil prices had remained high, it might have reached $50 billion by the end of this year.
-- Finally, an amusing point as evidence that Biden is just one of the people he pointed to, inviting anyone to have a beer with him at "Katie's Restaurant" in Wilmington, Del. Unfortunately, people will have a hard time taking him up on his offer, since the restaurant hasn't had that name for probably 15 years.
Unfortunately, voters who are trying to get an accurate count on whether the candidates are telling the truth can’t rely on the media. FactCheck.org mentions only one of these points, the size of the Iraqi surplus. The Washington Post mentioned Biden’s misstatement on Hamas and Katie’s restaurant. AOL’s coverage of the errors in the vice presidential debate was by far the worst, though that might not be too surprising given that Tommy Christopher, who wrote their news analysis, also blogs on the Obama Web site. None of these checkers mentioned Biden's statements about the role of the vice president.
Compare this to the attacks on Sarah Palin:
-- FactCheck.org criticizes Palin for claiming that McCain’s health care tax credits will be "budget neutral" – they argue that the tax credit will be larger than the new taxes that the program will impose. Fine, but if the people at FactCheck.org believe that is true and that the Tax Foundation is wrong, Biden’s claim about increased taxes is even more inaccurate. But FactCheck.org doesn't even mention Biden’s statement from the debate.
-- From AOL's news analysis piece. “Palin: Said that it is untrue that the U.S. is killing civilians in Afghanistan. According to an analysis by the AP, however, the U.S. is killing more civilians than insurgents are.”
What Palin actually said was: “Now, Barack Obama had said that all we're doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians.” Whether one believes the AP estimate or not, the question is whether she was accurately characterizing Obama’s statement of the job that our forces were doing. And Obama said, “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians” (emphasis added).
-- FactCheck.org’s first critique claims that Palin was wrong to claim that troop levels in Iraq are down to their pre-surge levels. They are correct that after the recently announced drawdown, 6,000 more troops will be in Iraq than immediately before the surge. But why not mention that 84 percent of the 38,000 troops in the surge are home or are in the process of coming home?
The media seems to have been covering for Biden for some time. While news stories still talk about Dan Quayle’s spelling mistake 18 years later, there has been almost no news coverage of Biden’s numerous wacky statements. What if Quayle had said something similar to Biden’s recent statement that, "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" A neat trick given that Herbert Hoover was president in 1929 and no one was watching television.
It might not fit the simple template for a 36-year veteran of the Senate to not understand what vice presidents do (after all, eight vice presidents have served with him), but Biden knew less about this than the political outsider, Sarah Palin. Given that they are running to be vice president, why didn’t that story dominate the news coverage after the debate?
