A 1% tax on the US held share of that $1.2 quadrillion in derivatives should cover it.
You're recommending funding a spending program by taxing a monetary system that just a few posts ago you acknowledged is going to fall-down-go-boom? That doesn't seem very... sustainable...
Doesnt seem like a serious post either. Or cant you see the emoticon
Yeah, I saw it. I didn't take the post, emoticon and all, as tongue-in-cheek... certainly wouldn't be out of line of a Sanders' supporter to advocate such a position.

It was a poke at columbia. Did you think I was actually calling for a 12 trillion dollar tax?

What is she wearing? I didn't see any of the debate. It's looks like what I've heard described as "trick clothing."

Looks like something Kim Jung Il would wear.

Seriously, F this little prick. He is actually on the lam with his mommy now. You can't make this **** up. If you recall, he received probation for killing four people and injuring nine others in a DUI accident, after this lawyer pulled the "affluenza" defense (that actually worked).

Not gonna lie, would be pleased if he and his mother ended up wrapped around a tree.

"He and his mother have the means to be able to travel to wherever they may want to travel," Sam Jordan, a spokeswoman for the Tarrant County district attorney's office said according to the AP.

Charges should be filed and a warrant issued for the mother. Their passports are missing - they most likely fled the country. This is definitely one case where I'd like to see a quick, and very scary, rendition - ending in a 20+ year sentence.

Every time I hear this story all I can think about is arrested development.

I'm watching watching Meet the Press from this morning and Trump twice said, "Jeb is a weak and ineffective person."

I'm glad that I'm alive to witness his candidacy.

Probably the best decision Jeb! has made this cycle. Too bad it means a horrifying crisis is on your hands.

While enjoy the chaos, about 6 more need to do so too.

I bet we will see Huckabee drop out before the New Year and they will not hold an undercard for Pataki and Santorum.

I'll take some of that action. I say he's in until at least Iowa.

I thought I had clicked on the Miss Universe thread.

Don't see how the Paradise DA can justify not bring charges against this cop.

The victim of this shooting has died:

I hope the manslaughter charges are swiftly forthcoming.

I've seen people here spout out the, "next time, don't break the law and you won't have to deal with the police" line over and over. interesting how those people are silent about this one. it couldn't have anything to do with the demographics in play, could it?
