I'm so tired of the tax debate!


Posted: May 14, 2010

Tax the rich more....tax the poor less, etc.  It is my opinion that if you tax the rich more, it won't help that much considering there are so many loopholes in the tax code that I'm sure the rich will find a way to get out of paying more taxes.  Why don't we just do a flat tax.  That will eliminate the loopholes.  Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though.  They need something confusing so the crooks in the world can get out of paying taxes.  Even rich politicians try to get out of paying their taxes.  So let's get rid of the loopholes and pay a flat tax.

Yeah, but also, I have never worked for a poor person. - Tax rich more and have even less jobs.nm

Im So TiredSep 18, 2012
Can anyone help me? I have hit a serious dead end. I feel unappreciated, unloved, unwanted, and every other "un" you can think of. I am tired of cooking dinner, doing the dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning the damn house, making sure every one has everything, and tired of working my sore fingers to the bone. I look out the window and feel as if the world is passing me by. People going places, smiling, laughing, having fun, and I want that. What happened? Where did my life go? Does anyon ...

So Tired.Dec 17, 2012
I'm late to the gun debate on the boards, because I needed time to calm down after Friday's tragedy.  I didn't want to come here all emotional and start swiping at people and coming up with totally unrealistic expectations of our country regarding gun control.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how completely saturated we are with guns. I grew up with guns, in a house practically stuffed to the brim with them. My family are paranoid "survivalists." &n ...

Am Tired Of Being Fat, Yes I Said It FatDec 11, 2014
I do not need any information about walking, exercising, know that but have some health issues that prevent a lot of that. Now let's get to the fat issue. I wish I could live off of water alone for about a month, that ought to about do it but I probably would have such a headache from lack of any solid food. I am also acknowleding the fact that a fast weight loss also means a possible fast gain back. I got all this but what I would like to know, does anyone have a really low caloric list ...

Tired Of Belly FatMar 02, 2010
I have done Weight Watchers, South Beach, Sonoma, and just generally starved myself into a rage, but this newfound belly fat is hanging on! I am talking cardio for 45 minutes a day and some weight training too! My newly-toned shoulders sure do enhance my bulging middle, which actually used to indent kinda nicely, I think. I'm gonna be 50 soon. I know my hormones are in a mosh pit, but something's gotta give, right? So here's what's next.....tell me if any ...

Observations - Tired Of It AllMar 25, 2010
The hatred on this board toward anyone who is a conservative has been absolutely rampant and so unnecessary.  It has become so bad here, the only way to describe it is a disease.  People have become totally obsessed with hating conservatives.  There are accusations of violence, yet no proof.  No videos, no voice clips, not even an iphone video or picture…nothing.  All you have is someone telling you things were said and done by conservatives, yet nobody can collab ...

Tired Of The Hypocrisy.Apr 09, 2010
For all of you who consider pubs evil and how we are inciting violence because we are all racist bigots who hate Obama and should never protest or hold up signs opposing Obama's position on things....well....how about a dose of your own medicine. Here is a link that shows a collage of the various signs that were held up during protests by liberals during Bush's administration.  http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3797552703_9dbdd22d38_b.jpg   Also, here is a list of libera ...

Tired Of Your RidiculeNov 08, 2012
"Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself." As an individual who practices conservatism, I am thankful that I continue to live in a country that allows me to speak my words, that allows me to go to the school of my choice, that allows me and affords me the opportunity to make my own choices, that allows me the opportu ...

Do You Ever Have Days Where You Are So Tired You Feb 20, 2016
Get you out of bed?? I mean seriously, deep down severe fatigue?? I am having a day like that today.  I haven't felt like this in a long time.  It used to happen more frequently, a few times a year.  When my kids were younger I would lay in bed and think my kids would come home from school with me lying in bed and unable to get up.  But eventually I would be able to rouse from my fatigue and walk to the kitchen and get a cold beverage.  I think for me it is hormonal ...

There Has Been A Lot Of Debate OverMay 04, 2010
illegal immigration on here and I would just like some information from all willing to participate. What is your problem with illegal immigration..if you have any... Are you opposed to them being here illegally or do you agree with total amnesty? Are you opposed to them working here or do you think them working here is beneficial? Are you opposed to them receiving food stamps, etc at the cost of tax payers or do you think they deserve some help? Do you live in an area where there are a lot ...

After The DebateOct 17, 2012
The first person to ask a question was Kerry Ladka. "Was Ladka satisfied with how the president responded? Simply no. “I really didn’t think he totally answered the question satisfactorily as far as I was concerned,” Ladka tells the Erik Wemple Blog. After the debate . . . "President Obama, though, wasn’t done with Kerry Ladka. 'After the debate, the president came over to me and spent about two minutes with me privately,' says the 61-year-old Ladka, who works at Global ...

My Take On The Debate. SmOct 14, 2015
I was struck last night by the huge difference in what we can infer about the nature of Bernie's and Hillary's thought processes while they were processing the challenging questions that Anderson Cooper threw out at them individually. Hillary's demeanor reminded me of one of those canned Miss America Pageant contestant types whom you can tell is so focused on searching her memory bank for a previously stored 'good answer' that the importance of the issue itself was tota ...

Hair Dye What To Buy Tired Of ColorsilkDec 03, 2009
I have long hair that usually takes about 3 boxes of dye.  I usually only do it about 2-3 times a year and do the all over color each time because my color tends to fade.  I think hair dye might be one of those things that you get what you pay for.  I usually buy the Colorsilk ($2-$3 at Walmart) because it is cheaper and I am usually broke.  This year I think I will splurge a little and buy a more expensive brand.  In the past I have tried the Herbal ess. and Natrual Ins ...

I Am So Tired Of People Acting Like Those....smApr 11, 2011
on Medicare are on the "dole"  EVERYONE gets Medicare when they are 65, and it is not free, and there are deductibles that need to be met.  I pay monthly for Part B coverage, suppemental insurance and pharmacy insurance, about $250 total.  I have worked all my life and payed payroll taxes toward Medicare and Social Security for a good many years. I do think that it is time to raise the ceiling on income that is subject to deductions.  Any income avove $120,000 is n ...

You Know What I'm So Tired Of With This Election Year? Especially The DNC.Sep 05, 2012
It's like an echo. Every single person who speaks or gave a speech, and every government mayor, governor, government worker who speaks or gave a speech, are saying the exact same thing. Don't they have thoughts of their own? Can't they think for themselves? It certainly doesn't look that way. I'm surprised the women are being bamboozled so badly. It's shocking.  Oh, and I love the way Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got caught in another lie and then lied about it... ...

Prayer Request For Tired MTFeb 08, 2013
Hello, I am having some health issues with my gallbladder, or so it seems. I don't have health insurance as it is not offered through my job. I can't afford to have anything done. It's really depressing to know you work for everything you have and it can be taken away from high hospital bills. I am currently taking a medical coding class. I find my stressed, tired all the time, depressed, and not to mention the "horrible" gallbladder attacks. I have changed my diet, but feel I am ...

Extremely Tired All The Time Feb 03, 2014
I've always had an average amount of energy but lately I literally feel as if I am wading through water. I actually feel weighted down. I never used to be able to sleep anywhere but in bed, but I notice I have been nodding off in my chair even though I sleep well at night. I don't snore or have apnea. (It's been really cold here, and I find the nodding off occurs in my recliner when I have a blanket on me.)  My diet isn't that unhealthy, but it is pretty monotonous. I fi ...

Anyone Sick And Tired Of All The LiesMar 10, 2015
Boy, I would sure love some real truth for a change. I am sick and tired of these excuses and lies that the Democrats give for everything and am sick of Mr. O saying he didn't know till he heard it on the news or it's someone else's fault. That is like my ex-husband blaming me for his wife's children renigging on a loan and him going bankrupt and other things like this he always accused me of. Nothing to do with me at all or our son. Anyway, I am more than ready for a ...

Confrontational Grown Kid, So TiredMar 31, 2015
Before someone says way they were raised, both kids grown and difference between night and day. I just called my daughter to ask a simple question. She works with math, I am slow with it. She does a short form income tax each year, I itemize. My question was what was the standard deduction for a person on short form. I got so much talk back it was unreal from different places charge different, you have to know this and that and I said maybe I am not making myself clear and repeated, saying just ...

Is Anyone Watching The GOP Debate On CNN?Feb 22, 2012
What are your thoughts about the questions and how the candidates are answering them?  Has anyone decided for sure who to vote for (if you're voting in the primaries or caucuses)?  I'm still undecided, so if you have decided, I would appreciate some input as to why you chose that candidate. ...

Diaper Debate...Sep 17, 2011
Okay, so here it is. I have a very good friend who is expecting. She is low income and has MA, WIC, food stamps, etc. She is slowly buying clothes, furniture, etc. a little at a time before baby arrives around May.  She knows about Goodwill, rummage sales, resale shops, and all that too.  She has other friends as well (who have had children) telling her which diapers are the best. She wants to start buying diapers now so she has a few packs/boxes to start with when the baby arrives. Sh ...

Homeschooling DebateApr 20, 2010
Looking for the good, the bad and the ugly.  I have 2 elemetary aged children and am currently working PT but making next to nothing.  Over the past year we have adjusted our standard of living radically based on my dropping pay/health as an MT and my DH's job furloughs and cutbacksl.  I get medical insurance from his company, so I don't really need any benefits.  If I lose my job, I could potentially home school the kids.  Not sure if they would benefit greatl ...

How To Debate The DonaldAug 03, 2015
This article is amusing. I would hope there is a lot of practice going on for other Republicans on how not to let him get under their skin. They should refuse to answer him directly (which I don't think they are supposed to anyway) and calmly present their perspective, no matter how wild his responses and answers are. If possible, they should ignore him and pretend he has not spoken at all. I particularly liked this reference-- "Other than a dart gun?," he said. "A tranquilizer gun ...
