Fumes emerging from the factory are so poisonous that they have destroyed vegetation in the surrounding countryside, turning the once-beautiful landscape into the bare, rocky terrain astronauts might expect to find in outer space.

I work for INCO...thats is sooooo not the case anymore, most of the trees were used in the smelting of nickel back in the old days..they used the trees for the smelting beds...for heat

Give it some time and see what happens. Some years ago California passed a luxury tax on expensive cars and boats etc. People stopped buying them (what the libs wanted). But wait... since no one was buying them, guess who it hurt? All the people that were making a living building them. If those people aren't working, guess who isn't paying taxes? So much for all their projected tax revenues. They ended up repealing the law.

Then you've got good old drop-out Joe - decided he didn't feel like going to school, who cares about college - he'll just live off of welfare, after all - its free.

So the Dem's will come along and say hey - you're the one who busted your ass, made something of yourself, give us even more of your money so we can give it to the lazy worthless sh*ts who don't give a damn about themselves or anyone else.

Overall - look at the math:

Say you make $200K, you're paying nearly $70K in taxes...

Joe Average makes $40K, pays like $11K in taxes...

So now the government wants more - but hey, wait a f%king second, you just paid 7 times as much as Joe Average, yet think about it -- your gonna be driving down the same highways, using the same public parks, same services and such, so your one person, he's one person, yet your paying the taxes of 7 average persons, and the government wants MORE!?!?!?

W T F !!!!!!!!!!

So - what will happen if this does go through (their share the wealth crap) people will have ZERO motivation to actually make something of themselves, everyone should just stay home, sit on their couch, watch Jerry Springer and wait for their welfare checks to come in, after all they'll be even bigger then before.

I won't go on welfare, but that last paragraph is how I'm beginning to feel lately after moving to this POS state called MI. I pay 4% of my pay to this POS state, for what? To support Detroit and their crooked mayor. We pay some of the highest taxes in the country and what do we have...roads that aren't worth a sh*t, but we do have the happiest bums thanks to our extremely liberal "CANADIAN" governor.

It is depressing when you put it in simple terms eh?:(



Suprisingly enough, I'm still happy the way things are.:confused:
