Happy Assfucking Day

Today is the day you've all been waiting for. It's the day Uncle Sam gives you the annual assfucking. Hopefully he'll use lube to ease the pain. I wish you all the best and hope some of you can enjoy it.

Cheers.

I'm back...

Hey everyone, I'm back. I know I haven't posted in awhile and I apologize for that. I've been busy with other things. I also haven't been returning Entrecard drops, and I apologize for that, too. The damn Entrecard toolbar has been pissing me off because it won't remember my login. As of late, the effort of logging into the Entrecard toolbar has been too much effort. I can never remember the goddamn password and keep having to search through emails to find it. Lately, the computer has been driving me up the wall with its bullshit. It's lucky it doesn't find itself on the other side of my office window.

Rasmussen Reports:

Here are some articles from Rasmussen that I have been meaning to report on, but haven't got around to them, until now.

This is the latest one:

76% Oppose Federal Bailout of Ailing Life Insurance CompaniesOppose Federal Bailout of Ailing Life Insurance Companies
Oppose Federal Bailout of Ailing Life Insurance Companies
Add one more government bailout to the list opposed by most Americans.
Seventy-six percent (76%) of adults say "no" to using federal funds to bail out
troubled life insurance companies, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national
telephone survey.
Just 12% favor the idea, and another 12% are not sure.
Investors (80%) are even more strongly opposed.

No more fucking bailouts goddamnit. I am TIRED Of this shit. Don't give a bail out to these insurance companies, especially, they are the biggest thieves around and have been robbing tax payers blind for years. FUCK THEM. Let them rot.

For Most Americans, Easter Is An Important Holiday
Fifty-three percent (53%) of Americans say Easter is one of the nation's most important
holidays, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That's
up seven points from a year ago. Just seven percent (7%) consider it one of the
least important holidays, and 38% say it's somewhere in between the most important
and the least important.

As far as I am concerned, it's just another bullshit holiday. One in which makes dentists rich, just like Valentine's and Halloween. It's probably the second most useless holiday next to Christmas. I think it is sad that there's only a handful of days a year in which we are required to remember the ones we love. If you need a holiday to fucking remember that then there is something wrong with you.


66% of Americans Say Their Vote Counts in Elections

Two-thirds of American adults nationwide (66%) say their vote really matters on
Election Day.

And most Americans are fucking stupid. If their voice really matters on Election day, why the fuck do they pick these goddamn clowns who run for office and then constantly bitch about politicians? It's their fault they elected these clowns and they are responsible for what they fuck up. They won't admit that they were wrong for voting for such and such a candidate so they make up a bullshit phrase like this: "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain." Bullshit. Those who don't vote have the right to complain because of the mess your vote created and have every reason to fucking bitch and moan. If they didn't vote, it's because they didn't like what their choices are, so why fault them for not voting? Supposedly, it's everyone's right to vote, and it is their right to decide whether they want to or not so let them alone.


55% Oppose Eliminating Deductions As A Trade-off for Lower Tax Rates

Good. I've been saying this all along. Eliminate these fucking deductions and lower the tax rate and watch the government bring in more revenue. Wait. Did that say they opposed lower taxes? What are they fucking stupid? I guess they don't want to pay taxes and all, and I don't blame them for that, but christ...there's way too many tax loopholes. Close them up and lower the tax rates and everyone will be happier. Mark my words. But that won't happen, of course, so don't fucking worry.

Just 53% Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism

Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and
say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism,
and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise
approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly
favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.

I wonder if the ones that support socialism are the Obamabots?

Only 45% Think They Pay More Than Their Share In Taxes

Just 45% of U.S. voters now think they pay more than their fair share of taxes,
the lowest finding on this question since regular tracking began last July. This
number has fallen below 50% just once since Election Day. Thirty-one percent (31%)
do not believe they pay their fair share of taxes and 24% are not sure, according
to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

I wonder what the incomes were of all of these people?

Just 54% Say Their Home Worth More Than The Mortgage

The number of U.S. homeowners who say their house is worth more than the amount they
still owe on their mortgage is down seven points since December. Fifty-four percent
54%) now say their house is valued for more than they owe, according to a new
Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

So what? You borrowed the money and still need to pay it back, so stop whining. The house values will go back up, they always do.

57% Want Military Response to North Korea Missile Launch

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of U.S. voters nationwide favor a military response to
eliminate North Korea's missile launching capability. The latest Rasmussen Reports
national telephone survey shows that just 15% of voters oppose a military response
while 28% are not sure. North Korea defied international pressure and launched a
missile last night. Officials from that country claim a satellite was placed in
orbit. U.S. defense officials confirm that a missile was launched but that no object
was placed in orbit.

What a bunch of warmongers we are in this country. I bet these are the same people that supported the invasion of Iraq and then flip flopped when they realized what a bad fucking decision it was.

This one is my fucking favorite:

75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States

President Obama's intelligence chief said last week that some inmates at the
Guantanamo terrorist prison camp may be released in the United States, but just 13%
of U.S. voters think that should be allowed.

I'm glad that most Americans have some fucking sense. Finally. I know the thought of torture isn't great, but if it keeps this country safe and helps us "defeat" the terrorists, then you do what you have to do. We haven't had an attack on this country in the last 7 years of Bush's presidency, so he must have been doing something right.

These detainees have no fucking rights. They are terrorists for fuck sake. Why should they be allowed our rights when they aren't even fucking citizens? The insanity of the liberals is unbelievable. No wonder people think you're pussies.

Well that's all I have to report on now. If something else pisses me off, you'll be sure to hear about it.

Have a good day, all.

One-Out-of-Seven Favor 90% Tax Rate for Millionaires

One-Out-of-Seven Favor 90% Tax Rate for Millionaires

Just one-out-of-seven Americans (14%) would like to see a 90% tax rate on earnings
above a million dollars a year. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone
survey finds that 74% are opposed to such a high tax rate for the nation's highest
earners. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans oppose the 90% tax rate, along
with 66% of Democrats and 72% of those not affiliated with either major party.

I'm all for someone paying their fair share in taxes, but you have to agree that 90% is way more than their fair share. It's the socialism that the Republicans accused Obama of advocating when he only supported a measly 3-4% increase in taxes -- the same rate of the Clinton years. They shouldn't bitch, that tax rate is lower than it was when their savior -- Ronald Reagan was president. The tax rate right now, is what, 36%? Obama is gonna raise it to 39%? The highest tax rate I'd support would be 50%. I don't care how much you earn, if the government came along and took half of your earnings away I'm sure you'd be pissed, right? But I don't know what word to describe what I'd be if the government came along and took 90% of my earnings...that's just plain robbery.

And speaking of tax hikes....I found this interesting: More Voters Than Ever Say Tax Cuts Help the Economy

Now I don't adhere to any ideology. I believe in doing what's right. In a faltering economy, I don't think raising taxes is the right thing to do - to anyone. When and (a minor if) the economy gets going again, and is strong, then I'd support raising taxes, but only then.

Now before I get called a right-winger like I have been called already today...I just told you, I don't adhere to an ideology. I don't believe in the right wing ways of doing things or the left ways of doing things. Sure, there's some policies on both sides of the aisle that I find appealing, but I do not "belong" to either side. I am a registered independent. Always have been and always will be. I don't care which side of the aisle you cling to, if you do something that I don't like I am going to bash you for it. I won't kiss either side's ass. You both suck in my humble opinion and have done nothing but bring this country down further into the hellhole it is in. The fun part is sitting and watching you two blame each other for it. You're both to fucking blame. I would say that you should work together to fix things -- but history shows that really isn't a good idea, either. When you guys work together, the American people get a double fucking up the ass. So yeah, every 4-8 years you guys take turns in fucking the American people up the ass and that's fine...just as long as it isn't a bipartisan fuckeroo.

Now, I hope I cleared things up. If not, let me know in the comments.

Cheers!

30% Say Government Should Limit Pay for Athletes and Movie Stars

30% Say Government Should Limit Pay for Athletes and Movie Stars

While a great deal of public anger is focused at corporate executives these days,
Johnny Depp and the Boys of Summer don't fare much better. Thirty percent (30%) of
Americans believe the government should make it illegal to pay movie stars and
athletes more than $1 million per year.

This is ridiculous. Now I agree that movie stars and athletes are overpaid, but having government come in to wipe them out is bullshit. It's not like they don't pay taxes. The more they make, the more they pay in taxes.

Who are the 30% that support something like this? They're a bunch of idiots in my humble opinion.

Schwarzenegger Vows To Veto Democrats' Budget Plan

SACRAMENTO (AP) --Democratic lawmakers on Thursday pushed through an $18 billion package of cuts and tax increases to reduce California's burgeoning budget deficit, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said it didn't go far enough and immediately said he would not sign it.

He said lawmakers sent him a "terrible budget" that didn't make deep enough cuts or include the kind of economic stimulus he wanted to boost California's ailing economy.

"This proposal that they've sent and this package that they are sending down does really only do one thing, and this is punish the people of California," he said at a news conference shortly after the vote.

Democrats and Republicans have been unable to compromise on a way to address a deficit that is expected to hit $42 billion in the next 18 months. Schwarzenegger first called them into a special session to tackle the problem on Nov. 5.

In a sign that the impasse was taking a toll, a state panel on Wednesday voted to stop lending money for an estimated 2,000 infrastructure projects statewide through June, an unprecedented move that the board said was necessary because California can no longer afford the work.

California has not been able to borrow money for months and faces a cash shortage in February.

The package passed Thursday would have generated another $9.3 billion in general fund revenue by replacing gasoline taxes with a variety of fees.

It would have raised the taxes Californians pay on gas by about 13 cents, replacing an 18-cent-a-gallon excise tax and a fluctuating sales tax with a 39-cent-per-gallon fee; raised the state sales tax by ¾ of a cent; tax oil produced in California; boosted personal income taxes by a 2.5 percent; and collected taxes from independent contractors upfront.

The shortfall for the fiscal year that ends in June is nearly $14 billion, about 10 percent of the state's $144.5 billion budget. But that hole is expected to grow in the next fiscal year unless lawmakers cut spending, raise revenue or do a combination of the two.

CBS5
What? Are these Californian Democrats nuts? They want to raise taxes in this faltering economy? The state has the highest taxes in the country and apparently that is not enough to keep a balanced budget!?! What is this bullshit? Cut the fucking spending! You're the largest state in the country. Get your act together. You have an 18 billion dollar deficit. Then cut 18 billion dollars worth of spending! Its that simple.

What are they spending all this money on?

Raising taxes in this faltering economy will NOT fix California's problems, it will only make them worse. The only logical solution is to drastically cut spending.

Taxes and Church

I'm getting tired of these churches who think they should have a say on how things are run in the government. Have they forgotten about the separation of church and state? I think everyone has. Politics and religion seem to go hand in hand these days, and it's really sad. I think that if these asshole churches want to have their say in government, they need to fucking pay taxes just like everybody else. What makes anyone think they should be exempt? What is anyone's reasoning behind it? All businesses pay taxes, so why shouldn't they? Just think of all the real estate the churches take up in this country. And all the revenue the government could bring in with taxes against the church. We could probably kill the deficit with that money alone. There's talk in Washington about raising people's taxes. This isn't the way to go about things in a faltering economy. What they need to do, is tax these fucking churches. If the churches want to cause trouble, then they need to pay like everybody else.
