I think you bring up an excellent point. The rich evading taxes? Who'd a thunk it?

i propose we reduce the amt of foreign aid contributions, and start focusing on domestic aid.
no, certainly not an original idea, but one that needs to be enforced.

we need to start caring for our own!!
this is total bs and should not be happening.

CBPP.org and epi.org have both made the same argument. 48/50 states are in an economic crisis. (California's problems are directly attributable to Prop 13.....)

This is why the entire country is in a recession s/p 2000-current governmental spending.

In the matter of the Hollywood types, that would be rich liberals evading taxes.

Laughter is good! I see the Hollywood libs as largely "do as I preach to you, but not actually as I do."

ah...maybe you're right.

we know that the hollywood libs, are the ONLY subsegment of the rich, that are notorious for tax evasion AND hypocrisy.

may be high time time to consider....'libocide'...
and get rid of all the liberals.
until they come out with the 'lib' vaccine, that is.

Not the only ones who try to avoid taxes, but as a group, they are tree-hugging, enviro-nuts, who travel in private jets, live in multiple huge houses and spend, spend, spend. Seems to fly in the face of what the libs say they are all about.

Some of our best friends, and a child of ours, are libs...we love them anyway...just hope that they won't feel too betrayed when this all goes down bad...already I know libs who are thinking this isn't the hope or change they were promised.

tnt, hollywood does not represent who i am.
(for that matter, no one does.)
regardless of their politics, i pay no attn to them or their lifestyles.
heck, i don't even go to the movies.

i choose to familiarize myself with the person vs affixing a label and judging him/her accordingly.
if stereotyping a group of folks makes you feel better, knock yourself out.

besides, there is nothing to debate here.
some posts were giving me the giggles earlier today, that's all.

have a great day.
