@izzythepush,
Some people don't drive AND its not necessary. All that's needed is proof of residency, like a library card or utility bill.

@RexRed,
Only shows to prove that tea party members come from all walks of life. Even those who receive welfare and complain we have too big a government.

If they post racist, gun loving, hate the poor crap they will be taken off my friend list. If they are sad and ask why, I will try and explain and usually they stop posting their hate in order to keep our friendship.

I post loving things and there is no reason why I need to be exposed to such hate...

Do you think hate, selfishness and racism equates with love and charity?

@parados,
The constitution does guarantee the right to vote, that's true.
So, does that mean that anyone that is a citizen can vote, or are there limits, or should there be limits?

BREAKING: The Vermont Legislature becomes the first state to pass a resolution calling for a Constitutional Convention to overturn Citizen's United and get money out of politics. SHARE if the rest of the country should take Vermont's lead!

This is probably the most outrageous example of class warfare we've ever posted. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has cut $1.5 billion from schools since 2008, mostly in poor districts. Over the same period, wealthy race-horse owners have received $1.5 billion in tax subsidies.

@RexRed,
Can you guarantee that a constitutional convention would ONLY deal with the citizens united ruling, or would it attempt to rewrite the entire constitution?

Not by their cities. Not by the government. Blue states have bankrupt cities and everyone pays for that.

If anything would kill any amendment, I think it would be Reids endorsement.

Making sure there is someone to minimize and distract the public from the real implications and accountability of the Obama administration, which means Killary too.

And they got plenty of money . Democrats buy opinion like they buy votes, and in the long run the taxpayers end up paying for both.

By the way, there was no "Truth Squad" for Watergate.

Cities did not go bankrupt 'til repugs started giving corporations tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas.

The GOP demands we give tax breaks to the rich and wonder why cities are failing.

If those businesses got a taxbreak the jobs would still be here.

The Republicans are protecting tax breaks to corporations that move jobs overseas. Obama tried to end them and the GOP threw a big tantrum,

In other words, if you are a big corporation and you close your U.S. plant and move it overseas you are then entitles to a big Republican tax break paid for by the American middle class people...


Politifact: The federal tax code has “loopholes that are giving incentives for companies that are shipping jobs overseas”

Politifact rated the claim TRUE:

OBAMA: ... I also want to close those loopholes that are giving incentives for companies that are shipping jobs overseas. I want to provide tax breaks for companies that are investing here in the United States
ROMNEY: … you said you get a deduction for taking a plant overseas. Look, I've been in business for 25 years. I have no idea what you're talking about. I maybe need to get a new accountant. But -- but the idea that you get a break for shipping jobs overseas is simply not the case.

Obama wins this round.

Romney’s recently released tax returns made it clear that he and his accountant are quite familiar with navigating the tax code. Romney should know that the law currently allows a company that closes its American plant and moves manufacturing operations overseas to deduct that moving expense.

The New York Times says, “It is true.” Reuters writes that there really are “deductions allowed for a company if it closes its plant in the United States and moves it to another country.” The conservative Boston Herald declared it a “huge gaffe.” Even Fox News’s fact check admits, “Technically, companies can claim a deduction for the costs associated with moving jobs overseas.”

In fact, Senate Republicans recently blocked a Democratic bill that would have provided a tax credit to companies that move jobs back to the United States and ended a tax break for companies moving operations overseas.
