Ah, but is IS a violent crime! If one does not wish to contribute to the upkeep of leeches, the government comes to your door, gun in hand, to take you away. If you resist, they shoot at you. This is non-violent? :shrug:
The condition where the leeches hate those that make their life possible can be summed up as such: Hatred of the good, for being the good. This is another root cause of the society of envy which we seem to have reaped from the seeds of the welfare state. Bob

I am dubious of the utility of giving handouts vis-a-vis improving the general quality of life. Every dollar redistributed must have been earned by somebody. Is it right to rob Peter to give a handout to Paul? And what does it do to Paul? Quote:

http://www.ncpa.org/pi/taxes/pd021201e.html My sources are numerous. The percentages vary from 1% on the bottom to much more on the top depends on what year you quote from.

True: many liberal crazies have never heard or won't believe a fact like what Winewood pointed out. It is more convenient for them to believe that all rich people are in tax shelters while the poor are the ones that foot the entire government tax burden. That's why the Demoncats always point out that the rich people get such a huge break while the poor do not ... it is to reinstill this undeserved feeling of injustice. When you only have a tax burden of $2-3000 and you get a break of $3-400, that is a big deal when you compare it to someone with a $1-200000 burden that gets $8-9000 back. The tax that is collected from "the poor" is a pittance compared to what they collect from the $40K and up households, even though the Dems prefer to consider anybody making less than $100K per year "the poor" in most situations ... they just fudge the numbers and figures until it starts to look good for their side in their "research" and then bury the facts in the footnotes and hope nobody notices.

ok, wow.
anyone ever consider that perhaps our HUGE prison population has something to do w/ it? I could also make a drug-war tie in but am too lazy right now and it would be way off topic. Exactly how many killings have taken place w/ full-auto weapons that could not have been done (better) w/ semi's? That guy in California that killed 5 kids and wounded 29 shot an AK w/ a 75rd. drum. clearly he was just a shitty shot. any asshole could have killed at least 10 kids w/ a 9mm or .45acp or somesuch... Has anyone here actually read some of the shit the Brady people put out? from the website bradycampaign.org: A pistol grip on a rifle or shotgun, which facilitates firing from the hip, allowing the shooter to spray-fire the weapon. A pistol grip also helps the shooter stabilize the firearm during rapid fire and makes it easier to shoot assault rifles one-handed. WTF??? one handed? I would love to see someone try. b.t.w. shut up about the rich paying the tax burden, if it was such a ****ing burden they wouldn't be rich anymore would they?
