Eh, that's just statistics.
Me? I pay taxes, usually around $500 a year, but I get a refund of $24,000. The government just loves to give me money. All my friends are the same way. Sometimes, they come knocking at our door asking if we need more- we usually say no, but then the throw a bunch of hundreds at us anyway. The homeless guy in our neighbourhood sleeps in his 2011 Porsche. Man, I love being poor in the USA!

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Perspective:



By the way, there's still precious little evidence that Mitt Romney paid any federal income taxes for the last ten years.



"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."
