+1 wooden sword.

Wally, the age requirement is 35. I’m sure he’s old enough

I think you missed the bit where Wally is dealing with his own mortality

opposing views

It’s not an opposing view it’s a stubborn dogma.

Did you know him?

Miami is bigger than most realize. It has about 15,000 students, everyone definitely doesn’t know one another.

But, I recognized him a few years ago when he started getting prominent Congressional gigs. I know of him, more than know him. I knew a few guys in his frat house reasonably well. But, that was an insulated house, who pretty much hung with one another.

I didn’t have any classes with him, unless we were in one of the freshman weed-out courses together…

My opinion: Romney went after the wrong guy with Ohio ties. Portman is more middle of road and likely would have helped Romney walk with the election.

/Takes my opinion and walks out

Did you know him?

I DIDN’T SAY I KNEW HIM!!! I SAID HE TOUCHED ME ON THE SHOULDER ONCE!!!

/Miami Grad, class of ’92 here
//So is Ryan

Did you know him?

Congressional Republicans enjoy a whopping 21 percent approval rating. Democrats aren’t much better at 33 percent, but America hates the Baggers.

Lol.

Damn baby boomers.

You’re going to see a lot more Mikes and Jimmys as the election draws near and then ends with yet another rejection of conservative ideals.

I hope you’re okay with that, because you don’t seem to deal too well with opposing views. For the record, I support tax cuts for all.

then ends with yet another rejection of conservative ideals. You’re hearing the death rattle of right wing conservatism.

Lol.

This is Soused’s idea of government utopia.
It’s easy to grovel for other people’s successes when you’ve acheived none of them on your own.

That was the tax rate during America’s most prosperious years for the middle class.

For the umpteenth time there is relationship between taxes and GDP.

No one is begrudging you of any success we just want you to pay what we all do. Also the 1% do not create jobs the consumers do. Do well to remember that. The level of which taxes are fueled by the rich is evidence of a huge gap in wage equality. Not evidence of class warfare.

I suppose you’d rather listen to the more serious-minded economists of, say, Greece?

They did a bangup job of listening to Goldman Sachs….

And I suppose Koch or Exxon are going to be building/maintaining the interstate highway system. Or Delta and Boeing will support the national air control system. Wal-Mart and Monsanto will do a wonderful job inspecting our food plants?

This was dumb of you. Greece defaulted because no one payed taxes.

Here I was thinking it was uncontrolled government spending and a refusal to cut back on the “essentials” such as insanely high public wage increases.

It’s truly frightening that liberals believe confiscating the income earnedy by the wealthy, productive class and “spreading it around” via unnecessary government projects is a key driver in “job creation”.

this is exemplified by the struggles the U.S. economy endured in the 50′s with those 70% tax rates. It’s no wonder the U.S. was unable to support building infrastructure such as the Interstate system.
