<quoted text>Let’s say you are truly offended that 47 percent of Americans don’t pay income tax. Just complaining won’t fix the problem. All those freeloaders are still out there, dodging their responsibilities as red-blooded taxpaying Americans. 151.7 million Americans paid nothing in 2010. By comparison, 34.8 million tax filers paid no taxes in 1984. The rapid growth of Americans who don’t pay income taxes is particularly alarming for the fate of the American form of government, Beach and Tyrrell warned. Coupled with higher spending on government programs, it is already proving to be a major fiscal challenge.

The 53 Percent Are at the Trough, Too

The more general misimpression that Romney propagated in Boca Raton, Fla., is that nearly half of the “47 percent” are nonproductive parasites who take no “personal responsibility or care for their lives.” This just isn’t true. A majority of government spending benefits the middle class. The progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that the bottom fifth of households received 32 cents of every dollar of federal benefits in 2010. What’s more, both whites and blacks benefit from government in proportion to their share of the overall population.

It would be great, as David Brooks writes, to have an argument about whether the distribution of these benefits is overly generous to the elderly and too stingy toward the young.(I’m assuming that when Romney promises to repeal Obama’s “raid” on Medicare, he believes today’s seniors are “entitled” to healthcare.) And it would be great, as economist Scott Sumner writes, if we could distinguish between “big government” and inefficient and behavior-distorting government.

But Mitt Romney, at least when he’s in front of a well-heeled audience from whom he’s trying to extract donations, doesn’t talk like that.

Mitt Romney — vaunted data junkie, technocrat, erstwhile “moderate progressive”!— sounds exactly like all the other half-informed blowhards who traffic in this stuff.

BEIRUT -- President Bashar Assad called on Syrians to defend their country against Islamic extremists seeking to destroy the nation, dismissing any prospect of dialogue with the "murderous criminals" he says are behind the uprising even as he outlined his vision for a peaceful settlement to the civil war.
In a one-hour speech to the nation in which he appeared confident and relaxed, Assad struck a defiant tone, ignoring international demands for him to step down and saying he is ready to hold a dialogue – but only with those "who have not betrayed Syria."
He offered a national reconciliation conference, elections and a new constitution but demanded regional and Western countries stop funding and arming rebels trying to overthrow him first.
Syria's opposition swiftly rejected the proposal. Those fighting to topple the regime, including rebels on the ground, have repeatedly said they will accept nothing less than the president's departure, dismissing any kind of settlement that leaves him in the picture.
"It is an excellent initiative that is only missing one crucial thing: His resignation," said Kamal Labwani, a veteran secular dissident and member of the opposition's Syrian National Coalition umbrella group.

Syria was such a peaceful country as long as everyone obeyed Assad!! They got sick and tired of it!! It started out with bottles and rocks!! Then Assad used Rockets, grenades, tanks, aircraft? 40,000 plus of his own people murdered at the hands of Assad! Do you see very many Syrians from Syria Posting?? That's because Assad has a short leash on everyone!! The Syrian people have no freedom so what do Assad backers do? They stand up for a ruthless Assad Dictator!! And to top it off, somehow the West is involved. The U.S., amazingly U.N., NATO, The Arab League and the list goes on and on have condemned ASSAD. Most civilized countries have elections so when you have brutal Dictators like China, Syria, and Iran there is no way to get rid of the tyrants other than by force!! The people are stuck with their ruthless Dictators their whole lives and then when that clown passes, daddy appoints another ruthless Dictator and this is an endless cycle! It's like a nightmare that will not go away!! I don't blame the people one bit!!

Oh, stop the silly childish ignorant nonsensical rants! We give billions to Arab Muslim countries!! In the last four years we have given 6.5 billion to Egypt, 12 billion to Pakistan, 620 million to Yemen, 300 million to Tunisia and 206 million to Libya! How come we don't hear a peep out of you anti-Israel whiners? Who took foreign aid money from us and other countries and banked it in numerous accounts as his people suffered! Why it was your hero Arafat!! At least Israel does not use foreign aid we give them and train terrorists, harbor terrorist or build mosques to incite hatred toward the USA! WE NEED TO STOP GIVING MONEY TO THOSE COUNTRIES THAT HATE US.
Some reasons US needs Israel as its staunch ally:
A. It’s the only democracy in the Arab sewer region known as the Middle East
B. It shares boots on the ground Intel with the US Intelligence
C. 60% of Israel's Jews have originated from Arab countries look Arab, and speak fluent Arabic its spies can penetrate where no US spy can
D. Israel took out Saddam's nuclear reactor saving thousands of US GI lives during Desert Storm.
E. When the US needed Intel on a new Russian made radar, Israeli commandos raided Shadwan Island, killing the Egyptian garrison and airlifted the whole radar station to US Intelligence.
F. Recently the Mayor of Los Angeles accompanied LAPD officers to Israel where they were trained by Israel anti-terrorism experts to better protect US citizens
G. Recently Israel formed an military alliance with Canada, Cyprus, and several major African nations, and soon will form an alliance with Vietnam.

The anti-Israel whiners should do some soul searching to try and see what their problem is. Whatever the reason for their personal phobia, psychosis or political reasons they may have it is of no consequence or importance. Israel is very important to the US and it is in our national interest to keep it strong as our ally.

Ronald Reagan and the 47 Percent

Mitt Romney, meet Ronald Reagan. The Romney-Ryan campaign labels the 47 percent of people who don’t pay federal income taxes as “takers.” But to President Reagan, the godfather of today’s conservatives, anyone who worked for a living was a maker, whether he or she paid taxes or not.

Reagan strongly supported the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which sends checks to Americans who work but earn less than around $46,000 a year, depending on family size. Recipients of the credit are among those who don’t pay income tax, but Reagan never regarded that as a problem. His administration estimated that the 1986 reform of the tax code would remove 6 million working poor from the tax rolls. Reagan called the reform a “sweeping victory for fairness” and “perhaps the biggest antipoverty program in our history.”

BECAUSE SATAN CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE U.S. HE FIND IT INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TOLERATE THE MEDDLING OF FOREIGN NATIONALS IN U.S. GOVERNMENT AND FISCAL POLICY. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE FOREIGN NATIONALS IN QUESTION TRUCK NO INTERFERENCE IN THEIR OWN NATIONAL POLICY.

ADDITIONALLY, SATAN HAVE A DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY WITH THE CONCEPT OF BILKING AMERICANS OUT OF THEIR MONEY SO'S IT CAN BE SENT OVER SEAS TO SUPPORT THE MOTHERLAND.

NOW, THOSE ARE ALL FACTS, BUT HERE'S WHAT SATAN SUSPECTS IS TRUE: SATAN SUSPECTS THAT THE UNITED STATES AND ALLLLLLL ITS CITIZENS IS SIMPLY BECOMING A COLONIAL OUTPOST FOR GREEDY SOULS IN ISRAEL AND CHINA. THE WILLINGNESS OF AMERICAN BUSINESSES TO OUTSOURCE THEIR PRODUCTION AND "HAVEN" THEIR RESOURCES, MEANS THEY'RE NOT AMERICAN BUSINESSES ANY MORE IN REALITY, THEY JUST HAVE AMERICAN OWNERS.

YES, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. STOP GIVING MONEY TO THOSE COUNTRIES THAT HATE US. LIKE ISRAEL. IF YOU RECALL THE ISRAELI PREMIER JUST TRIED TO WEIGH ON THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS BY LEVERAGING THE AMERICAN ISRAEL LOBBY TO SQUEEZE US FOR MORE MONEY AND GUNS. MOST RECENTLY, THE ISRAEL LOBBY HAS ENERGIZED ITS TOADIES IN THE SOUTHERN STATES TO TRY AND DISCOURAGE AN EVEN-HANDED NOMINEE TO BE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. NOW, HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU: HOW MUCH OIL DOES ISRAEL HAVE? SO, UM, TELL ME AGAIN WHY WE GIVE THEM THE SHIT WE SCRAPE OFF OUR SHOES? OH YEAH! THAT'S IT, THEY'VE PLAYED THEIR HAND LIKE MASTERS BY UTILIZING THE OTHERWISE CRAZY SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE LIKEWISE MARGINALIZED AND SPURNED IN U.S. GOVERNMENT.
YOU SEE? FUNDAMENTALLY THE "US" PART OF THE UNITED STATES CANNOT SIMULTANEOUSLY BE YOU AND ME. WE ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE YOU AND ME. ONE OF US HAS TO GO, CHAIM, AND THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING YOU IGNORANT CLOWN.

(And the "they" pronoun lin search of an antecedent breaks my heart...hope you had seats at the Kennedy Center's induction of Buddy Guy; the fact that you didn't relegate me permanently to hopeless idiot status when I didn't know who he was says much for your compassion...or horneyness...both admirable qualities in my book.
