Robert Hurley,
If you want to quote polls, I suggest you look at the demographics used in the polls, when as many as 20% more “Democrats” than Republicans are surveyed. The polling these days \is not used to measure public opinion, rather to sway it. Furthermore, a number of the questions are written in a way to induce bias into the responses. As Mark Twain said, there are “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”. Polls today are all three.
For those who liked the idea of paying taxes by IOU, don’t laugh yet. The California government is using IOUs to pay for contract work. Do a google on it and you will see. When the Federal government starts doing this, it will mean that there is absolutely nothing backing up the IOUs to give them credibility of value, However, if the Federal Government starts issuing them in lieu of payment for work performed, I will gladly accept the chairmanship of the IOUN (“N” as in nothing) organization.
For those supporting a boycott of the MSM, keep it up. In case you haven’t seen their financial numbers lately, it is working. Goof example: The great economic minds at the NYT have told their proletariat subordinate, The Boston Globe, to find a way to save $20 million asap, or shut down. In the past two years, according to Opinion Journal, Best of the Web, the Globe has lost about $160 million, thus, at least in the NYT’s view, $20 million in cuts makes up for $160 million in losses…and these same people were calling Reagnomics “voodoo”! It is also obvious that Obama learned his economics from the NYT…how to lose money without hardly trying. After all we can’t be sure he really has any degrees, since he won’t produce any records.
