Don't bother, I asked him that question numerous times.

You definitely should have a right to that.  It's really unfair.  A large percentage of inner city minority may never jet ski on the water way rich white people like box can.  Everybody should have a set of golf clubs so they can golf as much as Obama.


Jezzzzzzzzz these two sound so jealous of others.  Maybe it's envy that drives their twisted thinking.  

One note... by most peoples standard on this board... Box is not a rich white guy!

I have no problem with the rich having more than I... I'm not jealous or envious.
I have no problem with the poor being poor with in limits.  
I have no problem with some Americans having more... some having less.

For some reason in your twisted (so called)libertarian mind, you set up a straw and then argue with him.
Your straw man doesn't speak for me.  



Alright, how about the rich corporate insurance company becoming MORE RICH using a government mandate to force millions to buy their product?  Or the rich business not offering health insurance and making everybody part-time and having the collective citizens picking up the tab?

Box, statistically, the rich have only become richer during Obama's tenure.

But box you said you were against inequality, I just want to be equal, you obviously have more then me so it is only fair you give more to me, I want that money that you worked for, lets cut the middle man and just write a check. I'll also take cash, I'm entitled to it.

As you would have seen if you read something except anti govt BS...
If the insurance co doesn't spend at least 80% of it's premiums on health care, the must refund the excess.

The Bush Tax Cut for the rich was the biggest redistribution of wealth in our history.

Proof that if you repeat the same lie over and over - you start to believe it.




I don't see any "anti-government" bs here.  

Look at the SHARP increase in corporate profits after Obama took office.  WOW.  That would make George W. BLUSH.

Corporations aren't people, but Obama economic policy sure likes to give them A LOT of money.

UN: Some 5,000 Syrians Being Killed Every Month
10:24



An estimated 5,000 Syrians are dying every month in the country's civil war and refugees are fleeing at a rate not seen since the 1994 Rwanda genocide, U.N. officials said Tuesday.

"In Syria today, serious human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity are the rule," said Ivan Simonovic, the assistant secretary-general for human rights, told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday.
He added that "the extremely high rate of killings ... demonstrates the drastic deterioration of this conflict."

U.N. refugee chief Antonio Guterres said two-thirds of the nearly 1.8 million Syrian refugees known to the agency have fled since the beginning of 2013, an average of over 6,000 daily.
"We have not seen a refugee outflow escalate at such a frightening rate since the Rwandan genocide almost 20 years ago," he said.

U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said at least 6.8 million Syrians require urgent humanitarian assistance and accused the government and opposition of "systematically and in many cases deliberately" failing their obligation to protect civilians.

Rand Ribs Liz Cheney

Quoted Text
Kentucky Senator and tea party favorite Sen. Rand Paul poked fun at former Vice President Dick
Cheney’s daughter Liz on Wednesday, accusing her of trying to carpetbag her way into a Senate
seat in the state of Wyoming.

Paul said, “When I heard Liz Cheney was running for Senate I wondered if she was running in her
home state of Virginia.”


Liz Cheney, much like Rand Paul, had no actual political following except that of their famous (infamous)
fathers.

Actually Rand had a following for years before he even decided to run, he gave speeches at many rallies years ago.

You have it backwards.  Read the article. She needs their support.


The endorsement from GOP Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky bolstered interest in the measure on Capitol Hill after a version of the proposal was defeated last month as part of another defense bill.

They are attaching their names to her bill.  She led, they followed.  
At least the duo is smart enough to cling to a successful woman!
