FL, OH, & MO drug testing for welfare recipients ... thx Gary & Phyllis S!
Canada's top ten list ... Thx Gary and Phyllis S!
This is Canada's Top Ten List
This is Canada's Top Ten List .
This is so sad; from a proud, strong country to a laughing stock of the world.
Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to shake your head in disbelief, and, just maybe – choke someone in charge. This is Canada's Top Ten List of America
Of course we look like idiots - we are!
# 10 Only in America… could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event.
# 09 Only in America… could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
# 08 Only in America… could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
# 07 Only in America... can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
# 06 Only in America... would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens. (probably should be number one)
# 05 Only in America... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be called EXTREMIST.
# 04 Only in America... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
# 03 Only in America... could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).
# 02 Only in America... could you collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
# 01 Only in America... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.
PLEASE DON'T KEEP THIS - THIS DESERVES TO BE FORWARDED TO ALL!!

Nailed This One~
Love him
or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the
head..........
By Rush
Limbaugh:
I think
the vast differences in compensation between victims of
the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our
country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking
about it either, because you just don't criticize anything
having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the
numbers pass by
because it says something really
disturbing about the entitlement mentality of
this
country. If you lost a family member in the September 11
attack, you're
going to get an average of $1,185,000.
The range is a minimum guarantee of
$250,000, all the
way up to $4.7 million..
If you are a surviving family
member of an American soldier killed in action,
the
first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half
of which is taxable.
Next,
you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving
spouse, you get
$833 a month until you remarry. And
there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under
18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to
a
screeching halt.
Keep
in mind that some of the people who are getting an average
of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million
are complaining
that it's not
enough. Their deaths
were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
Soldiers put themselves in
harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know
the dangers.. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by
politicians and
commanding
officers.)
We
also learned over the weekend that some of the victims
from the Oklahoma City bombing have
started an
organization asking for the same deal that the September
11 families
are getting. In addition to that, some of
the families of those bombed in the
embassies are now
asking for compensation as
well.
You
see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part
and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in
this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise
comes up for the military, they usually receive next
to
nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in
combat in the Middle East while their families have to
survive on food stamps and live in low-rent
housing. Make
sense?
However,
our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you
don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time
to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month.
And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do
not receive Social Security on retirement because they
didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the
military people stay in for 20 years and get out as
an
E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month,
and the very people who
placed them in harm's way
receives a pension of $15,000 per month. I would
like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and
join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and
lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are
now fighting.
"When do
we finally do something about this?" If this doesn't seem
fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people
as you can. How many people
CAN YOU
send this
to? ****************************
How
manyWILL
YOU???
