I do know they care about me less, you know why, because my family's income puts me in the top 1% of Americans (who the Democrats want to raise taxes on).  And my parents both vote Democratic as well.

 

That's over 350K a year, and I assume you mean your parents. It's is funny how you include yourself in the same tax bracket as your parents.

Playing with other peoples money as if it was yours ... You are the prefect Democrat ;) 

I stand corrected, my family is only in the top 2% of Americans.  But those same tax raises would still affect us for the most part.  And thanks to steven for pointing out the my family ALSO votes democratic.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
