cue Tony!

Oh what the heck, I'll do it.

We don't have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem. Eat the rich!!

  Seriously, why can't you people get over your childish aversion to raising taxes? Or are you that wedded to welfare for the rich?

    Oh I dunno, maybe because a growing economy that provides greater potential opportunity for the vast majority of its citizens, as well as full employment, is preferable to the generational thievery you advocate.

      i.e. Sure, tax everyone who makes 100k now, but what happens when a loaf of bread costs $100?

      Look, Obama's bracket is done, already, kaput, fini. No need to rub it in.

I look forward to Obama's sweaty, regrettable viral campaign videos distributed over Facebook under the tutelage of media genius Robert Gibbs.

Charlie Sheen makes money, the government steals it. So, Charlie wins.

    Don't be a dick, Dick. I'm a college graduate.

      Just like President Obama!

        Just like John Stossel! He's also a college graduate.

  I'm not sure that not giving guns away for free is hating the 2nd amendment. I like beer, but I don't give out at halloween, does make me a prohibitionist?
  
  But my first thought was, boycott Radioshack? That should be easy. haven't been in one in about 30 years.

    Read the story in the link, it's very simple.
    
    1. Independent owner of a RadioShack stores does a "get dish and get a free gun promotion" and triples his sales.
    
    2. RadioShack tells him to cease and desist.
    
    Conclusion, RadioShack hates guns and gun owners. And what do we do in a free society when someone hates us? We boycott their asses!

      Wow! Great stuff!
