Lindsey was rather solid during the 1990s on the Clinton matters. A number of us thought he was a pretty stand up guy back then. We have been disappointed by him since 2001.

People, it’s becoming clearer by the minute that every one of us has to make a decision.
We are going to face hard times, and we are going to make sacrifices. But we can decide whether to sit back and do nothing and let these incompetents and thieves bring about our future — some unknown kind and degree of ruin — or to choose by ourselves to take uncomfortable paths.
There are things each of us can do. Some can drop out of the economy altogether, some can downsize. Most of us can cut down considerably on debt. Yes, take a loss, but in some measure let it be a loss you chose.
Some can take other measures. Go to your city hall and get involved, though you’d rather sit home. Get your kids out of government school, though you’d rather have two incomes. Get your money out of the bad banks. Protest. March. Boycott. Shut off the damn television. Undercut these traitors and tyrants. Then scare the hell out of them. And get them retired.
People, this is still OUR country. It isn’t theirs to rob, deplete, or give away.
They’re going to hurt you, you’re going to be hurting. But you can take the reins. Don’t just let them plunder your future.

Agreed, I thought he was exceptional during the Clinton impeachment. I haven’t followed him closely since and have often wondered why so many here don’t like him.

A tax revolt with 30 million or more would put an end to all of this. The tables turn. It may be our only hope for this country.

LOL. I like your way of thinking. Are those numbers accurate? Maybe you should recheck and repost (here and elsewhere), just in case? :-)

How do we begin? We need to begin a grass roots effort.

Hear! Hear!

What hurts me the most is that after all these years, I finally get to claim my little piece of the American Dream for my kids and me by getting out of debt, paying off the shack and buying a business just last year and now these bastards are just pissing it all down a gaping rathole!

All for the sake of control and power.
Damn ‘em all to hell n back!

How many jobs can you get with 1.2 TRILLION dollars?

Well lets see, full time at 15 dollars an hour thats about 30,000/yr.

So if you devide 1.2 TRILLION/ 30,000 = 40,000,000.

sOOOO, If this math is correct. For the 1.2 Trillion we could create these jobs:
40 MILLION full time jobs for one year. or
80 million part time jobs for one year.
or
40 million part time jobs for two years
or 20 million part time jobs for 4 years.
and they would begin immediately

instead obambi is giving US 3or4 million jobs by 2010or11 without any knowlege of how long those jobs would last.

I’m not much of a joiner or an organizer.
If you can fight this looting of America, the best way is to withhold as much money as you can, from the looters of government.
They can’t spend it if you don’t let them have it.
If that means not making it...because tax revolt is not your way...then consider not making the money at all. They can’t tax what you don’t have.
I didn’t say it would be easy. It will be hard. But each of us can resist somehow, and choose a method.
Remember that what they’re doing could cost your job anyway. You could lose your car or your home, or your life to someone desperate enough to turn to crime. You could lose your freedom. You could lose your country, too.

Senate Cloakroom numbers as of 2006....yep they look accurate from 2 years ago. Here's another thread that might need some of this info.

It does no good having enough members to filibuster bad bills when the same RINOs prevent the filibuster. Time to kick them out of the party because it makes no difference whether the GOP keeps them or not.
