Jin, please have your innards scooped out for an impromptu breakfast by feral, cannibalistic, hobos, then run into a black widow's nest, then die in a fire.

Obama said in the healthcare reform address that he was going to increase taxes on the rich to cover this (not enough in my opinion, but any tax increase on the ultra-wealthy is a good step to me).

You're such a cumdumpster. It's going to be like the fat guy from 7, except with sperm instead of spaghetti.

I have sneaking suspicion Jane was here before, as she's really rather awesome.

She probably fled in despair upon seeing hopeless 'tards such as Jin.

You'd never call a girl cumdumpster, but you make horrible generalizations about a group of humans based on their skin colour?

I quite seriously want to punch you in the face right now...

That's because you're passive/aggressive, and I'm a fucking bitch.

Dig it, we're on the same side on this one.

So, yeah, cool article. It sounds so evil to see an 'average' of 15% income raised in taxes huh?
I guess we'll have to be grateful this tax will be to the rich, so this average tax will be around 3% of their income.

Complaining about a part of my paycheck going to covering the less fortunate?
I'm not that fucking egotist. It actually makes me smile.

Well I was at a valero gas station this morning, and while I was pumping gas they had a big ass sign on the pump saying that due to the cap and trade bill we would probably end up having to pay 77 cents to a dollar more per gallon.

I may not be able to give millions, but a few bucks here and there is better than nothing.

That's fucking stupid. I think you're lying to me, because you just went from claiming 15% increase in income tax to over 30% increase in sales tax.

Anyway, the sales price hike was used as a scare tactic in our last election, and it was pretty effective in killing Dion's chances even when a tax offset was promised for individuals. The thing is, something has to be done and a carbon tax or cap and trade is pretty effective.
