More explanation as to why Canada is going nowhere and will go nowhere.  (ESPECIALLY if they EVER vote in an NDP PM.  Then they are screwed.)

Actually, before you coronate yourself and start stealing money from me (and yes you will because Leftists are thieves who think they have a claim to my money), and exterminating Rich Leeches, perhaps we ought to just hold the election, just to make sure.  You know, sorta like how the Buckeyes were the champions until some wise people said that for the hell of it, we had to play the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to make SURE the Buckeyes deserved to win?

You really need to study some economics.  And use critical thinking skills and stop buying so blindly into myths.  The debt is one-third foreign owned; and I am willing to bet that China holds relatively little.  Their economy is not as big as, say, Japan's. 

Besides, if we were running up a debt by coddling and spoon-feeding you and everyone else in a Nanny State, I bet you wouldn't bitch at all about debt.  What pisses you off is that we spend money on actually protecting you whiny ass's right to cry on blogs about how horrible and evil the United States and capitalism are.  You should also note that our deficits right now are minimal compared to the past.  In 1943, for instance, the U.S. government took in $24 billion but spent $79 billion.  This year's deficit is only 2% of GDP.  Cross the Atlantic, and the Nanny States you so adore are struggling to keep their deficits below 3% of GDP, as the ones in the Euro zone are bound to that by treaty.  France and Germany break those limits all the time with impunity (no one in the ECB has the spine to call them on it; besides, the ECB head is a Frenchman). 

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, especially a butter knife.

I would like to see this list of accomplishments, and could you please show me where in the Constitution it says that laws passed by Congress are approved by majority vote and need not go to the President for approval?

I have re-composed your ideas because here you indicate that you think you have a claim to money you have not earned.

1. STEAL from oil corporations and any corporation blarsen hates (nearly all of them)

2. STEAL even more from oil corporations

3.  EXTERMINATE every single American Rich Leech who DARES to make a PENNY over per capita income

4.  TELL people what they can and cannot drive

You are a Socialist of the highest order.  Borderline communist, I'd say.  You didn't earn any of that money, so what makes you think you have ANY claim to it at all?  I like this idea much better:

1. Throw away the entire tax code, start over, charge everyone 17% with NO exemptions. 

2.  Gradually privatize Social Security to teh point where every single American controls their own economic destiny (unlike you I trust individual people; you look upon individuals with extreme contempt)

3. Balanced budget amendment, have any surpluses generated directed to pay off the national debt (I lay the blame for the national debt at the feet of both parties)

4.  I sure as all hell will not get in the business of dictating what people should or should not drive.  But the United States should go nuke.  If it provides France with 78.5% of its juice, why not us?

Before you come back in here with your Socialist kleptocratic ideas, may I suggest you actually study some economics?  Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is a great place to start.

blarson, blarney, blarson, blarney, blar... um... yeah - blarney.

That's called the old one hand - other hand sorta thingy.

First, the Democrats haven't done anything yet.  Oh they did change the rules to make it easier to raise taxes, that is true.  But in terms of actually passing legislation, they haven't got there yet.  We'll see.

I hear the minimum wage law, which is supposed to be a slam dunk is running into some tax cut Senate tags that will probably screw up the Conference with the House; again we'll see.  I'll give them the minimum wage hike as a matter of pre-emptive giving. Hey - XMas was just yesterday wasn't it?

1.  Tax the old war profiteers.  That is number one on your list.  Uh...

OK, I'll go along with you.  Any company, human or government making a profit out of the war not currently paying any tax on that profit should be taxed.  That oughta give ya a grin.

2.  Tax the Oil Companies that reaped a profit when the price of Oil was over $60 a barrel.  OK, same deal, any oil company that reaped a profit when oil was $60 a barrel or higher that did not pay a tax on their profit should be taxed.  Man you are hitting 100% with me here.

I would add a caveat.  Any Oil Company that didn't make a profit when Oil was at $60 or higher should get any taxes they paid (all of them - employee, sales, etc.) back.  Fair is fair my man.

I would also tax any Oil Producing Nation (there are a lot of 'em) that made money when Oil was over $59.99 a barrel.  That oughta make a lot of friends as well as pay for just about anything you want to dream up.  I'll go for that.

3.  Keep the tax cuts in place?  OK, I can go with that.  A $100K government bond?  Per Household, huh?  Well, let's see before this idea I had not thought to split my household into twenty different households, but I can get behind that idea.  Let's throw in a $2,000 debit card and a coupla free FEMA trailers too.  I don't know what you mean by a government bond, but I assume you mean an account separate from Social Security that is an actual investment rather than a hidden and shameful income tax dressed up as a 'contribution' to some half-assed New Deal retirement insurance scam.

I can get behind that too.  In fact, I've always been behind that idea.

4.  I'm having a bit of a problem with the 2% national sales tax on all vehicles that don't get over 23 MPG.  I guess you mean all farm equipment, all trucks, railroad engines, city buses, ambulances, fire trucks, police chase cars, any vehicle used by the military, planes (they are technically vehicles), space shuttles, gee - the list just goes on and on.  That'll work, huh?  I don't think even I in my Holiday spirit and New Year's smile can agree with this one.

It's just a little poorly thought out for me.  Maybe they do think that way over at KOS, but I'm stuck with that silly brain of mine here.

5.  Take away everyone's guns and melt them down.  Well, this is a sort of Liberal idea.  Liberals, of course, don't care about basic human or personal freedoms and rights, they are only in it for the power to be aggregated in the hands of a very few.

They don't care about human life and have no shame in destroying the economic, legal and Constitutional Government system that guarantees free markets and free men.  They are totally afraid of free men in particular.  Take WACO, where more people were killed by Liberal policies than GI's in Iraq in January so far.

So, I don't think you were joking.

At any rate, if you really mean everyone's guns, I could probably get behind that if you start with the gang ridden inner-cities that were created by the Liberal Great Society failed quagmire ideology that the government could 'fix' the poverty there.

Also, if you Liberals would simply say,

"We are truly sorry for all the human misery and death we have fostered and created by our Welfare State and the $7 Trillion we have wasted on our ideas in America's cities."

I'll vote for Hillary.

Apparently you are not paying attention. Try re-reading the post you responded to, this time with a little more reading comprehension.

Two day work week. Man, I wish I could swing that!
