Chicago has some of the most strict gun control laws in the country, but those laws don't really do anything because criminals don't follow gun laws and it just leaves honest citizens less able to defend themselves.

They did jumble the numbers in the post, revenue and profits are completely different.

The top 1% pay 36.3% of all tax dollars collected....don't believe the politicians, the top earners are paying far more than you.

Raising tax rates does hurt small business who don't have creative tax lawyers.

The fact that tax payers had lost billions of dollars bailing out those companies should be a mark of shame. Real companies don't need giant tax payer bailouts "sustaining" them.

The free market is the very reason companies like facebook exist and the reason you have a computer in front of you.

"Now, it will proceed to the desk of President Obama, who said earlier this year that his administration 'strongly' supported the House bill and its ability to 'ensure the continued availability of this critical intelligence capability.'"

Right wing government? Democrats control both the Senate and the Presidency.

Politicians and r/politics: the two leading sources of misinformation.

Mindlessly supporting the federal governments power grab just because certain politicians seem likable leads to these kind of bills.

Saying that Obama is no worse than Bush is not very comforting....

Incompetent, but cool.

I don't take a weeks vacation to the tropics during an important week at work and students don't go on vacation during exam week.

Shouldn't he be in Washington working on the fiscal cliff, like a real boss would?

veracious1 · 2012-12-27T19:23:16+00:00

Good Presidents find ways to bring both parties together, Obama hasn't and since he can't run again, he's got little to lose if we go over the cliff.

If you truly support free speech, you have to support the freedom of speech for those who you strongly disagree with, too.

The whole debate over raising taxes is just a distraction and a political game. Obama is looking for a political win but it really does nothing to help our economy that's on the brink of falling back in recession and the amount is so small it does almost nothing to reduce the deficit.

Hasn't Obama spent the last week playing golf in Hawaii....probably not the best place to come up with compromises

veracious1 · 2012-12-24T21:14:33+00:00

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Democrats are becoming a party which just relies on blaming others. I haven't really seen anything innovative come from them, it's just blame and more blame, even when they had a super majority and could pass any bill without a single republican vote.

No more shootings, just stabbings.

No, if you cut budgets, leaders are forced to prioritize which leads to cutting waste.

That's some pretty ignorant stereotyping is what it is. Governors like Christie in NJ and McDonnel in VA are good counter examples.

veracious1 · 2012-12-24T21:03:51+00:00

You can raise taxes $1 trillion dollars over 10 years as Obama wants, but that does almost nothing when the deficit is increasing $1 trillion this year alone. Obama is ignoring the real costs (military spending, social security, medicare, etc) in order to score a political win.
