<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Not making enough? Stop bitching about it, get off your lazy ass and get to work. <p><hr></blockquote><p>That's rather funny, considering I'm away from my home 12-15 hours a day... at work. I do take responsibility for myself. My single salary is probably 3x what my parents ever made in a year, combined. I just got a nice fat raise too.<br><br>That doesn't change the fact that I effectively make less money than I made when Bush took office even though my paycheck is more. That's wrong. I am a greedy son of a bitch, and the government is screwing me out of money. So you're damn right I'm going to bitch. The people in government right now don't deserve to be there. They're incompetent, and I'm not just talking about Bush, I'm talking about 90% of the people in the state and local governments - my state government most of all. Time for them to leave.<br><br>Sorry you're can't understand this isn't about Dave or myself being in the poorhouse, because neither of us are. We don't have second or third jobs, so obviously we're much better off than you. This is about the government being incompetent, and causing us to have thousands of dollars less in our pocket each year than we would if someone who knew what the hell they were doing was in office. If you can't see where that's a problem, then you do need a swift kick in the nuts.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>We don't have second or third jobs, so obviously we're much better off than you.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Oh please .. check your ego ... you have no idea how "much better off" you are than me. I have outside businesses because I like to work, I like to save money and I like to rely on myself. That way I don't go around bashing my head into walls over who is occupying what office in Washington DC. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>This is about the government being incompetent, and causing us to have thousands of dollars less in our pocket each year than we would if someone who knew what the hell they were doing was in office.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Well then run for office .. You obviously have all the answers. And if you have less dollars in your pocket it's your own damn fault. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>If you can't see where that's a problem, then you do need a swift kick in the nuts.<p><hr></blockquote><p>And maybe you should lay off the assh@le pills, Bax. <br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>

Can't find that, but here you are two years ago ringing the $6.00 per gallon alarmist bell! <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>What's your plan when gas is $6 a gallon?<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>How'd that $6.00 per gallon gas work for ya?<br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>

Every single one of them has resulted in me having less money for personal use each year. They give with one hand and take away more with the other.<br><br>I used to think it was terrible that life was unfair. Then I thought what if life were fair and all of the terrible things that happen came because we really deserved them? Now I take comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe.

You obviously have all the answers. And if you have less dollars in your pocket it's your own damn fault.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>That is an excellent idea. I'll start small, perhaps mayor. Our current one is a douchebag, shouldn't be hard to unseat her. <br><br>You're right too, I do have all the answers. I picketed against deregulation of our utilities when the folks in our Senate were blowing themselves over what a great idea they came up with. Most people I knew said I was stupid, that we'd save sooooo much money because of competition. Whooops. Did I mention our electric rates have increased almost 400% and are due to increase again this year?<br><br>So no, it's not my fault if I have $2700 less a year because of electric bills, it's theirs. Had I been in office that's money everyone in the state would have in their pockets. My only solace is now I see PA will go through the same thing soon. Idiocy runs amok in government it seems.<br><br>Oh, to top it off now their raising our taxes. This, the state that makes the most tax revenue in the entire union. Incompetent fools every one. I don't think I voted for a single person in office, so again.. how is it my fault? Please explain. The explanation should be quite comical.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>And maybe you should lay off the assh@le pills, Bax. <p><hr></blockquote><p>LOL.. I'm not on any, I'm naturally an assh@le and enjoy it too much to stop. Get used to it, I'm on the warpath now.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Can't find that<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>Really? Because it's your very own response to the link you just posted.<br><br>How's that lying thing working for you?<br><br>Oh, and by the way, my response to your response:<br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Gas futures are being traded now for what gas prices will be in October and november. Your "temporary spike" is going to most likely be 1/2 year or better.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>I was't wrong there, was I? What's gas cost now? Let's see, I paid $3.49 yesterday. Granted I use premium, but then like DLC, I don't stoop to regular gas or brown bag lunches.<br><br>So, what's your plan a few months from now when it's $4? And yes, later on when it's $6? Because it will rise to $6 a gallon sooner than later. Gonna keep piling on the jobs? There is 24 hours in a day you know. Or, maybe I'm just an assh@le for pointing that out. <br><br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>How's that lying thing working for you?<p><hr></blockquote><p>Lying? Gas DID come down from $3.00 per gallon. How's that comprehension working for you? <br><br>And this...Here comes the victimology:<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I paid $3.49 yesterday. <p><hr></blockquote><p>And then .. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Granted I use premium<p><hr></blockquote><p>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA So it IS your own damn fault. You crack me up. <br><br>Well. I'm sitting here waiting for that $6.00 gallon of gas, Mr. two years ago Gloom-n-Doom! <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Gonna keep piling on the jobs? There is 24 hours in a day you know<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>Hell yes. I'll work around the clock. Say, maybe I'll work so hard that I'll get hooked on uppers, which will lead to bigger drugs, then I'd lose everything .. all the jobs. Down to nothing. Then I'll turn into a Democrat and expect the government to take care of me. YEAH!! THAT'S IT!<br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>
