Forgive me if I seemed abrasive. Maybe you all need to get on these K1 filers! Start sending them PM's. I know nothing about that process. But I do know the embassy is extremely helpful in Greece. For the Greek citizens it will be a breath of fresh air too, as compared to what they're used to dealing with, in regards to Greek gov't.

Yup. Who do we blame? Who the @#$k do I send the invoice to, for reparations?

You keep saying that as if it should mean something.

The lies continue. I thought so.

What does he have against writing in proper English? I think it's a minimum requirement to write a report that everyone is able to read.
At least, it should be.

The tax rate increase is going to happen anyways, along with all the rest of the revenue measures the Republicans are proposing as alternatives. The Democrats think of it as found money, and an excuse to spend even more money on new programs without any new spending cuts anywhere else, rather citing current law as proof of their fiscal responsibility. Most telling is the Administration's insistence that they will not be blackmailed into any further spending cuts as a condition of raising the debt ceiling. More of the same, I am afraid.

It swings both ways?

I have utilized it.. And I have read your review.. That's why I said most members.. Your review is basically the only one.. Its why I said what I said..

You do seem to be the only one You are always helping all Greek members

Lol! I am the Greek citizen so I know exactly what you are referring to!

I'm an avid supporter of truth and justice, two concepts you may have a vague familiarity with. You must be all out of rebuttals to my points since you are now sinking to trying to redefine me. I've made it clear who I am, an Israeli who doesn't toe the party line because I don't like lying or sounding profoundly stupid. It's rather liberating. You should try it. Reality is a blessing.

Cheap meat is disgusting and not fit for human consumption. It's a horrorshow. Arsenic apples from China, and non organic potatoes aren't much better. The Monsanto GMO diet is totally cheap and economical, even if you're buying whole foods and not processed, but I can't bring myself to eat that #######, much less feed it to growing children.

Thanks I don't know how I forgot that one . I swear i think i good fiscal conservative part, personal responsibility party without all the Ant-abortion anti-gay rhetoric could be successful.

Compared to this, YES!

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that ' s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I ' m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men– the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody ' s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man ' s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. ! And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!" "Yeah, that ' s right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It ' s unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That ' s true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, ladies and gentlemen is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
This explains the current situation in this country perfectly. Keep beating them "rich" folks up.

I'd hit it.
