@Snesboy, there's a difference between Fox station and Fox News:

Fox is a TV network with shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Cops, Fringe, Glee, Hell's Kitchen.

Fox news is a news network like CNN. It trives on sensationalism and right wing point of views.


fox tv is owned by fox news.

and no, Fox has people with all points of views, not only right but also liberalism, they have libertarians, socialists, tea partiers and everyone in between.

perhaps, you should inform yourself before you post stuff like that

Like others have said, FOX news is proud of their position on most anything.  It is funny that you could think that anyone could take you seriously with a screen name of essentially "i hate Obama".  And then you actually try to defend FOX news?  I watch FOX news more than CNN, not for the news, but for the comedy of it all.  They slant so far, that most of the comments should be part of a monologue or stand up comedians show.  Everybody reports this kind of garbage article, but that doesn't mean that it is "good news" or "bad news" reporting, it is the norm nowadays.


what news station isnt.

so what, i hate the worst president since jimmy carter. who wouldnt? should my name be "i love government and 10% umemployment" 

Saying that is pretty ignorant. Afterall it was the bush administration which launched the whole world (not to mention america) into a global economic disaster.

 

So far obama has spent his time trying to fix what bush ruined. Naturally he can't just snap his fingers.. but look at the world. It's slowly recovering.. America would recover a lot more quickly if the republicans didn't try to squat everything the democrats tried to get through the system.

Yup, 100% Bush's fault for the global economic disaster.  It was only Bush and his administration that did it.  It has nothing to do with how the Clinton administration is the one who told the banks to start giving loans to a lot more people who should have never gotten them in the first place.  It has nothing to do with Americans wasting their god damn money on things other than the loans that they should be paying off.  It clearly has nothing to do with Wall Street just being greedy and wanting more and more and more as we should just have 8000000 more rules and regulations to prevent this because rules fix everything. 

It is also obviously Bush's fault that the whole entire world is so reliant on the United States that if anything happens to us everything crumbles.

Lets just put 100% of the blame on the Bush administration as that is clearly the way to go.

How about people stop trying to blame a single fucking administration for every single problem that arises and instead realize that we are god damned greedy, cheating bastards that bring this stuff upon ourselves.  And no, making more laws to prevent all of these problems will do no good because people will still cheat and manipulate themselves around the laws.

Edit: And also, could you please explain what exactly Obama has done in these months that is "fixing" what Bush administration supposedly wrecked?  Passing a healthcare bill that will cost billions, if not trillions of dollars when we are in a financial crisis really seems like something to help the situation out a little.  And why should Republicans vote with the Democrats when every single god damned bill they are trying to introduce involves spending more and more and more and mor eand more and more money.  Did you ever think the right approach might be to cut the budget to a more reasonable amount that we can actually afford while in a financial crisis?

And for one final note, I'm sick and fucking tired of people bitching about Republicans being the party of no.  What exactly is it the Democrats do to all the Republican bills when they are in power?  Oh yea, that's right, vote no.

Raise the taxes for the wealthy. Very simple.. Yet it's so difficult to get through.. Like you said, people are greedy.

 

It would solve so many problems related to the finance though.

 

And while indeed, many things caused the global recession.. The main thing was bushes war mongering. Spending money they didn't have.

 

@osamanobama

There are too many people afread of change in the senate.. And incase you didn't notice, the healthcare got torn to shreds before it got through.. The republicans seem more interesting in destrying anything obama tries to do than to help the country get back up and running.. If they only focused on that.. And worked together..

 

Though THAT is very unlikely to happen.

Well, while I totally agree that the war cost a lot more than it should, why should a person making $500,000 per year have to pay a higher tax percentage than somebody making $100,000 per year?  If the government would get rid of the billions upon billions of dollars that they are wasting, then our current tax rates would be perfectly fine.  I guess we are on opposite ends of the spectrum :P  I think they should stop wasting money on stupid shit, and that would make the amount of money going in with current taxes work perfectly fine for a balanced budget.

I just don't think its fair that the percentages should go higher yet for only the wealthy, because it isn't fair to somebody like me who is working his ass off in school to get a degree that will put me in the classification of a wealthy person in, say 20 years.  If you would be somebody who worked extremely hard to start up a business or get a fancy schmancy degree and would also be classified as a wealthy person, I'm sure you would agree that it is bull shit that you should get taxed a higher percentage than the people who didn't work as hard as you.  You are already paying considerably more taxes than they are because you have a lot more income being taxed.


Actually I live in denmark.. And we have a system with taxes you would find outragous.. Yet we have very few homeless.. I've been to the buttom of the foodchain.. Heck, i've been homeless while I was finishing up high-school so while our system is far from perfect, when you are within the range, our system will carry most poor people and help them get degrees..

Unfortunately my most wanted education isn't included in this, but most universities in denmark are free, only forcing you to pay for books. This means people such as myself are able to get university degrees.

It's free for everyone to go to the doctor and to get cured at a hospital. (though dentists are not covered)

Despite my specific field not being covered, an education close to it is.. Meaning I wont have to save up for a decade to start doing what I want to do.

 

I'm in the low end of the tax zone and I pay around 36-38 percent. With an amount of aprox. $800 a month worth of money I don't have to pay taxes from. Furthermore, the state pays me around $1000 a month just to study.

Now in the end it mostly balances out. Everything is twice as expensive here as it is in the US.. But we make more money in general.. We pay higher taxes of those money, which goes to our welfare system that's quite functional all things concidered. The danish crown has been as stable as the euro in the financial crysis and our security has helped a lot of people who would have ended up without a home had there been no welfare system like the one we have. A side note is that I actually do have to have a job besides the money I get from the government to be able to live, just so you don't get the impression that our country makes it easy as cake. You do have to work for it.

There are many arguments to make for and against a system such as the one in my country.. But while our society is currently facing the same financial burdens as the rest of the world, it is also one that helps most people.. That is why I am a strong advocate of such.

You could argue that I should mind my own buisness and not talk about US affairs when i'm not a citizen of said country, but what happens in the US in general affects the world, hence it very much also affects us.

As for politics, our most right wing party is like your democratic one... And while both systems technically work, I would argue that our system tries to help more people. :P .. Your system has a larger focus on the individual, which is also okay, i'm also individualistic which leads me to this,

Finally yes, I'll probably be very annoyed when I do earn a lot of money and many of them has to go to taxes.. But in the end, it'll help more people like myself get through university.

So yeah, some might have had it easy, (being born into wealth) or work their ass off.. I know that it's no cake walk (even with the system we have, afterall it doesn't always work, and when people expect that you can get certain financial help, but you can't, you're easily forgotten) but in the end isn't a system where everyone can live of 1 fulltime job and many people are educated, with rich people being slightly less rich, better than one where people are completely left to their own fate, many many end up uneducated (and likely ignorant due to lack of knowledge) and rich people are somewhat richer.

While you do have scholorships.. Those are limited, and so most people can't do that.

 

@Osamanobama. Hopefully obama will get his way and it will lead to improvements. You are talking as if you were employed by fox news, with an opinion such as obama wanting to destroy your country.. I don't think that's the case..Like most americans, I'm sure he loves his country. I think he might just have seen whats possible if you allow more government infrastructure in the country... Note. Not at all a government controlled society, but one that allows everyone, poor people included, better options of making it. Investigate matters further if you wish to reply back to me, as arguing pointlessly back and fourth isn't really the best way for me to spend my time :P (I'm guessing you probably feel the same way.)
