    God knows our $1,000,000,000,000 / year federal government is strapped for cash!

    Based on my math if taking $5,000 from a millionaire wouldn't be noticed, we should just take $5,000,000,000 from the federal government. The hillarity is that they probably wouldn't notice either.

    That is a perfect example of wasteful spending. I feel the same way about paying for social services to those that don't earn or deserve them.

    You feel that the Vice President of a company spending $100,000's of tax payer dollars renovating his office is equal to poor people receiving a couple of hundred dollars a week for food (even if some are able bodied, most have children). I really don't know what to say to that other then I think you must be doing quite well for yourself financially if you feel that way.

    Besides I barely made $30K last year and I still owed $600 in taxes. It doesn't seem that far off to me for someone making $500K to pay $5K.

    Well, Clinton signed the legislation (after fighting it for some time), but the reform was driven by the Gingrich-led Congress and the "Contract With America."

    True. I like that we hold the President solely responsible for ills, but when something good happens we show how he was barely responsible (happens on both sides, not a jab at you).

    I like your "what white people like" responses more. You've gotta have one for this!
