but they are doing it with consumption taxes. The illegals pay, criminals pay, workers pay, everybody pays their share, well maybe they hit property owners too hard, I have no factual idea of the details of taxation in Texas but.... it's not a progressive income tax.. dang, if Texas would secede I actually might go there... dump the fed and their insane programs that are unconstitutional and not affordable and get away from the progressive tax garbage all in one swell foop, I could talk myself into that... What I would really love is if Russell Means succeeds via the UN to form an Indian Nation in the center of the US... being an Indian at heart [it's genetic, nobody but an Indian can know what that is really]. Old Russell invited people to come there and operate businesses of any kind tax free...
He's cool, he's not really the leader of the Lakotas though, they elect a leader and he never wins... nonetheless I hope he [somehow] succeeds...
Like that Injun in the "Outlaw Josey Wales"? LOL. Actually I am 1/16 Cherokee. Maybe we can open a casino! John
Bush will be remembered as a great President. Its the Pelosi's, Reid's, Frank's that will be considered the worst politicians in the last 100 years. People who say Bush was terrible don't understand what leadership is. Bush inherited the Nasdaq bubble(remember that little bump in the road?), 9/11 which we still are paying out the ass for on a daily basis, Iraq, and the housing mess which is basically the end of America as we know it. Bush tried to fix the housing mess before it became a mess and was rebuffed by Franks and the other democrats. That is a fact. Bush never had a hint of scandal. He never said anything bad about anyone. He never complained. He just did his job. Bush is great and history will recognize him as such. John
'ya know, they have repeated this "Bush is horrible" thing so much I started to believe it.. they just assert it but the proof is.... vaporware !!
I am conservative but I was biased from the beginning due to the disregard his father had for the economy and he followed in his footsteps. JMHO. Otherwise, I supported him.
I can't think of any other president who had to put up the bullshit he did. Remember when Gore tried to steal the election and the way he was demonized in the media? We all see now what Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodd really are. We also how bias the msm is. The recent deal with CNN and how they attacked the people attending Teaparties just didn't start this week. CNN has hated Bush's guts since day one. Just consider how much of what was said about Bush was just bullshit lies. Its payback now with this piece of shit Obama as far as I am concerned. John
I would love to see Texas secede. See ya, mofos!!! Good luck to you! Don't come back begging when the energy boom totally busts!!! If you cause the U.S. any problems, we will strafe, bomb and use many MOABs on your ass.
