Happy hollow weed!
Think I'm being targeted??? LOLOL
In a local restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, I laughed as he had given away his political preference. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed the money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
LOL!
LOL.
My wife and I have instituted “taste taxes” in our home on cookies, chocolate and other goodies.
My children, aged 10 and 7, already understand the concept that liberals suck!

Ha, taste tax. Me too. My kids (5 and 8) “hate” the democrats because of taxes. I counsel them to not hate the people, but hate the policies (their mom was a democrat at the time, to the astonishment of my children).
This last weekend, my son (5) encouraged my wife to sign up as a republican at a local street fair, and she did. After all her life as a Connecticut Liberal, she’s now a Central Valley California Conservative. I converted her mother earlier in the year.
Please explain how you do taste taxes; sounds like an interesting idea ... !
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?” She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus, college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of the GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair. I have worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing towards her degree. She played while I’ve worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the Conservative Movement.”
That is cool - be proud, yer boy did good ;)
That's what you get for not having a McCain/Palin sign up in your yard.
My dad used to call it the "daddy tax" at Halloween time. I have now instituted said tax on my children.
If the kid has a Nutrageous bar you simply bite a piece off the top.
You can take as much or as little as you like depending upon how you feel and how hungry you are.
There’s nothing the Nutrageous bar holder can do.
I’m hoping to move out of Maryland in the next 10 years, but I am preparing my children for the eventuality of being a productive citizen in this state.
Great minds FReep alike.
I explained to my daughters in college this way:
1) We don’t qualify for needs based support as it is and the fact that Obama’s education plan says “most” Americans and “most” students is a qualifier that tells me we don’t qualify under his plan either.
2) If the Bush tax cuts are not made permanent thats $3,000 to $4,000 less I have to pay for their schooling.
3) When Obama raises the capital gains tax it means I have to pay additional to take money out of savings to make the payments to their colleges.
4) The stock market is tanking because of Obama’s work with ACORN to sue institutions that refused to participate in the sub-prime lending.
5) All of this loss of savings and extra money I have to pay to Obama’s government goes to pay for someone elses child to go to college penalizing me for saving in the first place.
I got that in an email this morning and forwarded it to Lucianne Goldberg in case she wants to post it on her page. She usually has some good pictures or comics for the visitors to enjoy.
