  1. All true points, which is why we need national health care...but previously, a certain person made a statement that employers should provide health insurance to their workers...so well...
  2. I have not seen of these policies worth the paper they are printed on. One of the problems with these policies is they do not cover much and are for the most part expensive. Small businesses really get the screw in this area. So you admit you NEVER provided health care benifits to any of your workers at anytime? No more Rogueyamming, a simple yes or no...?
  3. SO am I correct in assuming that you NEVER provided insurance to your employees when you had them? and you currently have no medical coverage? FWIW, I am part owner of a small business in the bay area. We are eligible to purchase group health insurance through the local small business association as well as the local county chamber of commerce. You may want to look into that. I also have my regular insurance through my main employer.
  4. BKKT, God I hate myself for this...you own a small business? If so, do you currently provide medical and or dental insurance to your employees? if so, how many and what is the cost? how will the Obama plan effect your final costs? It seems to me, from previous posts of yours, that you may be one of those effected byt "Obama Care." Please try to make sense in your reply...
  5. I heard something today on the radio that "Obama care" was basically the same plan Dole or some repuke came up with years back...wonder if it was socialist then..?
  6. No I would not be surprised at all.
  7. You being completely wrong on Prop 13 being a good thing aside, I will agree with you and Trump on pretty much some of this...or most of it...rupukes and dums both totally pimped this country to the evil empires we were supposed to be dead set against...
  8. What's wrong with Prop13? It rapes the people. It allows one group to pay far less taxes, while forcing another group to pay 10 times more tax on an asset of the same value. Prop 13 was originally intended to keep family farmers/ranchers from losing homes to taxes. It was also supposed to keep old people from being taxed out of their homes. Sad part is, it got bastardized to where you can hand your kids a house and they pay the taxes you paid...and they hand it to their kids and so on and on...so eventually, the state loses revenue, forcing higher sales taxes and other taxes to make up the short fall. Again, I believe in flat taxes, I make $50K I pay the same as everyone else making $50K My house is worth $300K I pay the same property tax as anyone else with a house worth $300K. Only exception I maight make is for retired people, who would be exempt from paying property tax until they sell their existing home or die. Their heirs get the house and either pay the market tax rate or sell it if they can't. Prop 13 is all fucked up and it needs to be fixed or dumped...
  9. A palace compared to what I had...there were 17 of us living in a ditch in the middle of the road, and we were lucky to have it...
  10. No, AT the end of the day, we are in agreement, don't dick with the constitution. My "plan" is maybe the best of a bad situation. That is, the kid has every right to be here, but he cannot petition the parents to come here until he is 18. So either the kid stays here with family or friends (who are legally here) or the kid returns to native country and returns at 18 to claim his right. Same with the tourist visa babies. I agree with LK, punish the shit out of those who hire illegals. But I do believe we also need to do something to tighten up the borders to keep the drugs, criminal element and others illegally entering, out.
  11. Ok, so we want to take away the citizenship of illegal's "anchor babies..." O.k. Now what about women who come here on tourist's visas for the specific purpose of having their babies born here in the USA? Example, there is a birth center in San Francisco, forget the name and can't be bothered to look it up, which is pretty much in the business of taking in women on tourist's visas who are ready to give birth. The sole purpose of these women is to have their kids exercise their "birth right" and petition the family to immigrate to the USA, jumping the normal wait time. Technically, these women are in the country legally, but they are here to scam the system, what should be done with these women? To me, any kid born here is an American, but they should have to be 18 before they can exercise any rights to petition their family. If it is proven the family entered illegally, then those doing so should be barred from entering for a set period, which I believe is currently 10 years? HH you know? As much as I am against illegals, I get nervous when people want to dick with the Constitution...
  12. Have you seen the original True Grit with the famous John Wayne? If so' date=' I am interested how you compared John Wayne's credibility in the role as opposed to Jeff Bridges. Being a great John Wayne fan I am slightly opposed to give it my 10 cents However, I should watch it since I already have it lol I just watched the Town, it was quite a good film, very watchable and much better than I thought it would be.[/quote'] Yes The Duke was America as she stood, fuck the trash assed pussies who would say other wise, as their candy asses are nothing with out us. Again fuck them. They owe us, and can suck us...now as for this movie...Awesome...maybe the best remake ever...the girl who plays the...well girl, is awesome, worth it for her alone...closer to the book and all that crap...a good movie worth a look and more. Don't be a fag, go see it!
  13. Obama is fucked? the polls were saying differently a few days ago...
  14. Sarah Palin, Snookie, the Kardashian cunts (wait that is redundant)..."The Situation..." and the rest on t.v/in the media...yeah...I feel bright and optimistic about the future of this country.
  15. In the last week I have seen "True Grit" and "Green Hornet."
  16. Just got done scraping the Obama bumper sticker off my car, and mailed a check to the NRA and the CPRA as well...
  17. I did vote for him, and I am appalled by this.
  18. Steve I agree with you. All I am saying is, landmines would work so would military patrols, it will take drastic measures, all very unpleasant...but it will never happen. We will continue to allow these people to drain our resources and be a plague on our country. It will only get worse the more we do nothing...
  19. As I said, and you'd gather if you read the posts right, it will NEVER happen, so don't even worry about it.
  20. You have said this in 2 different threads now...what exactly do you mean? so what about the rivers...small patrols can handle that. The idea is you close off as much of the border as you can, and then concentrate on the few holes remaining. Trust me, it works. If a mine ends up in a river, how is a patrol going to stop a mine that is being pushed by water northward when the water can easily push a car? Some people who have been caught up by the water don't show up for years. How is a patrol going to find such a mine or mines? And who is liable when one goes off? Clearly you know less than I thought, so much for giving you the benefit of the doubt...Land mines on land, hence the term LAND mine...now you will say "what if..." and to that I say "what if back..." Your ignorance of munitions is blinding, so best you not comment on it. A small land mine in the water moving around would either go inert, or more likely detonate when it moves...now you know. Of course we could have them all wired, and detonate them if they were no longer needed...but well...why bother explaining this to you...please, do not reply pretending you know something... Point is, you mine the land (HENCE THE TERM LAND MINE) and you patrol the weak link, the water...it will work and work well, but we will never do it. So don't sweat it, there will always be plenty of illegals for you to love and pay for/deal with...when they rob you, rape yous maybe you'll get a clue.
  21. We are talking about CONTROLLED immigration here! easy for you to say, as you live on an island, and illegals cannot easily slip in and cause shit...I am all for legal controlled immigration, as it made our country great (not like the hoard of criminals your country was based on ) I am against illegal immigrants and the shit they cause. We emay well have signed the land mine agreement, as I said to the other guy, we will NEVER do it, but if we did, it would work...sooner or later, it will be drastic enough that we have to do something...but we won't... As for the statue of liberty, different time, different world, and WE CONTROLLED IMMIGRANTS THEN! And as it was given to us by france...well...nough said...
  22. You have said this in 2 different threads now...what exactly do you mean? so what about the rivers...small patrols can handle that. The idea is you close off as much of the border as you can, and then concentrate on the few holes remaining. Trust me, it works.
  23. I am against ALL personal property taxes, it is non of the governments business what I own! I paid a sales tax when I bought it, so fuck them!
  24. Good idea, I pawned off some crap wine on a guest I had from NZ...er...I meant a different guest, I gave you the good stuff...er wine, I mean...not talking about anything gay...
