They will be taxing us on breathing soon because our breath is bad for the enviroment. Fuck the government, the only thing they should be doing is keeping us safe and shrinking their size. Let us the fuck alone and quit putting more taxes and stupid bs like this in effect. > > isn’t this unfair taxing why we started that little conflict called the revolutionary war all of those years ago? The Libertarian Darkstar is still here. And when the government tries to ram useless shit down out throats, I’m against it. However, I’m a realist before I’m a Libertarian. You have a credit card, right? You have to make payment on it, right? After you buy a bunch of shit and max out the card, do you whine and cry about how unfair it is that you have to pay off the balance? Of course not. Our country has racked up a huge debt. We have to pay it off. Unfortunately, the only way the government has to make money is through _gasp_… taxes. The Bush Administration spent money like drunken sailors while cutting taxes. This is where the blame goes. Obama inherited his mess, and because he’s telling you that he’s going to have to raise taxes you’re mad at him and he’s the bad guy. You guys have the mentality of a 10 year old kid. Our government ran up a huge tab under Bush… the most fiscally irresponsible President in our history, and now Obama is trying to clean it up and you’re acting like he’s the devil personified. Bush was living on cloud 9. Obama is living in reality. Reality sucks. But place the hate where the hate is due. I’m not an Obama fanboy. You ought to know who I was rooting for, and it was a far cry from Obama. But he’s what we’ve got right now. > [@How many vacation days do you get/are you carrying over?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-many-vacation-days-do-you-get-are-you-carrying-over/40504/64): > > He’s just being a douchebag to create some excitement on here…some of his arguments are kind of funny though. > > Like comparing taxing businesses based on imaginary Co2 pollution to getting a speeding ticket…:bowrofl: > > Anyway…if we can still buy gasoline by the time he gets that 'vette race-ready, I’ll be glad to help Whitey and whoever else put that thing on the shelf! > > Imagine that 'vette getting beat by a third-gen Camaro…lol Imaginary.

If not let everyone live their lives and die. Eventually it will all end anyway so when we die does it really matter after that what happens? > > Or the government can stop fucking worrying so much, I’m sure this isn’t the first time the earth’s climate has changed and life in general has adapted to the changes. Survival of the fittest. Taxing isn’t going to do shit except make the rich, richer, and the working man more miserable to the point that a war will break out and possibly really fuck shit up. > > Then it is funny because as soon as everyone get pissed enough and votes the Dems back out of majority, the republicans will reverse it all and then what, are they going to refund our money? I think not. It was all wasted for nothing. God you really are a dumb motherfucker. The last 8 years the Republicans ran the show. Ran up the debt, nearly collapsed the economy. But when Obama comes in and says “hey, you know all those bills we ran up, well now we kinda sorta have to pay them…” and he’s the bad guy.
