From what I understand he's a real big supporter Obama and his policies. So I would assume that he agrees with Obama on the whole idea of " spread the wealth"
So why did he decide to go to the Miami Heat? Just wondering bcos Florida has no property taxes.

    You should probably loosen up before stretching that far... you might pull something.

    And Florida does have property taxes.

    I'm so sick of hearing about Lebron James!
    And this thread takes it to a whole new level!!


    I agree about loosening up...
    I could find something to hate as much as you hate Obama and then relentlessly find ways to connect things to it. :roll:

    I don't like our leader either, but i'm not going to start a thread about hating sweater vests because of it

    Yes, but there is no state income tax so it is said to equal out.

    To be more precise... That is Americans. Willing to base their judgements upon soundbytes instead of facts and the complete story.
    That is HOW LeBron James gets co-mingled with President Obama... because of American's inability to seperate entertainment from journalism. Don't blame the media for 'dumbing down America'... when Americans are the ones demanding that they get their information in sound bytes.

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Please tell me one thing that o have said that's delusional. I have said many times that I don't hate Obama. I simply hate what he's doing to this country. All of you are missing my entire point about lebron james. I could give 2 shits about where he ended up. My point was I'm sick of all of the people who support liberal politicians from states like NY,NJ,Ohio,ect..and then move to states like fla that don't have any state income taxes. So I guess they believe in "spreading the wealth" as long as it's not theirs right?

    Oh goodie. The only thing we need more on AMT than a LeBron thread is another one blindly spewing judgement/hatred on all Americans. Make ya feel good?

    Kinda like the conservatives from red states who complain about federal spending when their states receive twice as much federal money as they collect.

    And Florida has a pretty substantial state budget... while they don't collect income tax, they apparently collect enough tax revenues through other sources to make up for it.

    But, I'm curious to see if you have any facts to support liberals who move to states with no income taxes and why... Old people from the northeast (who are retired, so income tax isn't a huge deal to them) move to florida in droves because of the weather.
