Not all. But FDR wins top prize!

No, we have the best treatment for the broadest spectrum of recipients available. That it may not be completely equitable is an aside. It's as close as we're gonna get. If the Democrats try to press reconciliation on a new bill, I predict bloodshed.

You're clueless--I wasn't talking about Germany. (The RAF bears most of the responsibility for the mass murder in Dresden) FDR wasn't burning Japan's paper and wood cities fast enough with high explosives--so he had LeMay start pouring kerosene from B-29's instead. As for your thesis, well, I don't think you even really have a clue what you're trying to say. Run along. From the perspective of the American left, FDR's support for the National Labor Relations Act--and Social Security--nullify his absolutely horrifying tally of civilian dead, I guess. Pathetic. Yes; I believe I have this pretty much right. If you're willing to "overlook" a few million dead, then please at least have the decency to admit it before you spew the standard nonsense.

Let me put it in plane terms- the proposal would first of all close tax loopholes, and raise sales tax by 0.003. Do the math fuckhead- that's 30USD on a 10K sale. Your company has to be totally fucked from a getgo, since a $30 increase on a $10 000 sale brakes your bosses' bank. No, it's your stupid boss who need beatdown. The tax Gregoire has proposed on bottled water and carbonated beverages is completely separate from the general sales tax increase being proposed. Might I suggest you next time know what you're talking about before you open your plaque-filled hole. Better yet; hop back on the next boat outta here. Still trying to figure out who the fuck let you in.

I wonder how Republican Spain would have rated?

You can possibly be this dumb. Take a history class or two. Seriously. Your boy incinerated somewhere between one and two million civilians in their homes. I can't even begin to imagine what he would have done with the Bomb had he lived to use it. And did you forget about his exec order 9066? Then, of course, there were the German "saboteurs" he electrocuted after a military tribunal on American soil... You really are a fucking moron.

Like your hero?

Maybe we should think of them more as General's Burgers, you know, like a Colonel Sanders KFC spinoff... Not sure why you're dissin' potential SEIU members, comrade.

On the contrary, there are a couple billion generalists in the world already. Just be willing to wash dishes when your gig dries up.

Specialization is a curse. Of course, j_b and Prole specialize in nothing more than whining...

You guys are such a nice bunch...

It's ok, j_b. The world needs ditch-diggers too!

kill kkkonservative numbnuts now! 180 days' work should receive 180 days' pay.

Reduce state payroll and benefits now.

Prole is either: A.) A state/county/municipal employee. B.) Still lives with his mom.

I realize economics isn't your strong suit, but typically higher prices squelch consumption/demand, and my employer is under no obligation to retain my services in the face of plummeting demand for its product(s). Your bizarre aversion to facts notwithstanding, business doesn't exist to lose money. I like the way you accuse others of drinking the corporate koolaid, even as you spout the standard state education bullshit line. Cut. State. Employees. Wages. And. Benefits. Period.

Lemme guess: you're a state employee...

...and if Gregoire and the Wa State Democrats have their way with the new taxes they are proposing, at least 30% of the employees at my company will be unemployed too. Pay raises, extra time off, cha-ching retirement plans, and contracts for state employees and their fucked-up thug unions while the private sector gets fucked. Olympia Democrats need a beat down.

I thought after all that egg you were forced to wipe from your face in the wake of the census worker suicide, you'd be acting a bit more cautiously with your keyboard.

And I thought conservatives were all about capitalism and neo liberal economic policy???

Sorry Prole, but this guy was clearly one of yours. Probably spent time in Bellingham, even! From his own rant: (Which, by the way, sounds a lot like yours.) "The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed. Joe Stack (1956-2010) 02/18/2010"

Number 20 sounds a lot like giving ten bucks to the people of Haiti and then telling the world what a great philanthropist you are.

he coulda always taught gym "Software Engineer" is always a suspect class, IMO.

Nah. Just don't like people who try to pretend they're pacifists when their history demonstrates otherwise. This looks kinda like the war he's been hoping for.
