From: Magnum Serpentine Who will pay for rebuilding after disasters? Isn't that what insurance is for? Heh From: Magnum Serpentine Who will pay for protecting our enviroment?? Your saying that my tax dollar goes for this, and it works? From: Magnum Serpentine Who Will pay for college grants? Ever wonder why these are even in place? Why would the government be involved here? What did we ever do before the 'big brother' came onto the scene. Amazingly, we did pretty well from historical accounts... Again, back to should we tax churches... |

From: Kurgan Asturias Well then, while we are doing reparations, how about I get my fair share of money for the wrongs done me as an American Indian, and I also have some African American in me as well, should I get some of that money too? Should I get some interest in it while we are at it?
Speaking of which, I think it is the US government’s job to go abroad and snag some of the European monies owed me for sending their ilk over here, committing genocide on my race. Same goes for the tribal chiefs in Africa for taking my forefathers captive and selling them to the slave traders (oh, and go ahead and add the slave traders debt to me while you are at it).
Why do you think you would have the right to impose hardship on existing bodies for things in the past (several generations past)?
Did your grand parents (or even further back) do anything to mine? Should I be going after you to get reparations for those actions?
OK, I am done with my rant... Back to it, should we tax churches from this point forward? My vote would be no, unless you revoke ALL charitable organization's tax free status. Actually the only money goes to the Federal Government. |

Again, back to should we tax churches... No, a vast majority of our most intelligent researchers and scientist were able to afford College only because of Federal Grants. Insurance companies too quickly scream Bankrupcy. And they are big business. |

If I give you money, most likely I will not ask anything in return. However, I am not like most. From: Magnum Serpentine Insurance companies too quickly scream Bankrupcy. And they are big business. LOL You think that maybe there is a reason that our government is bankrupt (both monitarily and moraly)? And while I am thinking of it, please, spare me the GWB stole the galaxy and is...oh never mind. |
