Speaking of slackers in the basement, has anyone seen the new KFC add for their chicken bites? A slacker man child is playing video games in the basement and convinces his idiot parents he is on the ball because the bites are “real chicken”. I’m just trying to wrap my head around what group of consumers that ad is aimed at.

Slackers Unite?

Seriously, Obama (and "Chief" Warren) is saying ‘Rich’ should pay more. He does not expect slackers to pay, hence the omission.

...listened to it in the original Cherokee (Elizabeth Warren... All right, who is going to come clean the coffee off-of, out-of my keyboard! LOL Hey, wait, I didn't make this mess, someone else did!

It’s so easy to get caught up in the tale of the top earners — that 5 percent of the population who pay 59 percent of all federal income taxes but earn only 32 percent of the income.

But what about the 45 percent or so of our fellow citizens who pay zero? Shouldn’t they share the, uh, “credit,” too?

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but aren’t all these “roads we built” and “schools we paid for” and the cops and firefighters, etc. — aren’t they available for use by the rich and poor alike? Isn’t the illegal immigrant headed to pick up a government-subsidized rent voucher driving on the very same roads as the hardest-working plumber or most successful doctor?

Obama believes that other people are responsible for the good things that people do but not bad things. Applying this reasoning: Apple Computer does not owe its success to Steven Jobs but to the prior construction of the power grid; kids flash mobbing Wallmart are not the fault of God-free schools or fatherless families; etc.

(Book of Genesis)
Chapter 1

1
IN THE beginning G-d created the heaven and the earth.
2
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of G-d hovered over the face of the waters.

3
And G-d said: ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light.
4
And G-d saw the light, that it was good; and G-d divided the light from the darkness.
5
And G-d called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
