In other words im going to always disagree in your explanation just like you will always disagree with mine. Just learn to respect my opinion and I will respect yours.

Absolutely right cyntaxx: now answer the question. How is this going to spur the economy? Oh I guess with all the extra money most of the rich are going to go out and open new businesses,start job training programs, loan money to all the auto workers getting laid off...... Give me a break. These tax cuts are going to be used for new investments in mutual funds, other stocks, oil investments. The money you will be seeing in a couple of months are nothing but advancements on next years returns. Will the average america wake up! stop being tools for your president and other politicians! P.S Im not looking for any handouts either just be fair if your going to cut out some millionaires dividends, then maybe you can give that single lady making 16000 a year a child credit?(extra300)?

But that is for another thread ...
Bottom line? We are ALL subject to being treated unfairly
as long as we look at the color of a person's skin v.s. what
they can do and what they know. Period. Anything less
will result in people always judging you as "special" because
you needed preferencing to "make" it in the world.
The Michigan case was a disaster for all of us ... It will be
very interesting in the next few years to see what the
black people of this country feel when the latino's get all
the preferenced positions due to their majority (They are
now the majority of non-whites in the U.S.)
But I'm guessing that most won't agree with that reasoning ...
I also think that "equality" was a loser for women also ...
They used to have it made ... we worshiped them and
worked our butts off for them, and now we can't even open
the door for them without being called a chauvinist pig .....
Saw a great answer to the question about what is politically
correct and acceptable to call "black" people now ... The best
suggestion? "how about calling me by my name!"
That is what I will do to all ... Redneck and Gangsta alike.

Tax cuts do give us more to invest. The more we invest, the more the government is able to tax. It's perpetual. I think we should have a flat tax rate like Hong Kong. 15% across the board regardless of how much you make. That way, we'll stop penalizing the hard-working and successful people of this country.

"Ghetto" is in and of itself not a racial slur. Yes, most people in ghetto areas are non-white, but it is the culture, not the skin color that should be the subject of discussion.
Whenever I go to a race and see the one or two black guys there, I always hope that people go out of their way to welcome them in. It's a shame that blacks are so underrepresented in motorsports, as blacks (and Latinos) seem to have as much or more passion for cars than whites. And what a terrible irony that the most well-known and talented modern black driver's (real) name is ***** T Ribbs.
There are a lot of us whites who are delighted to see minority performance car enthusiasts. Don't let the illiterate few bother you.

I like big wheels, but you have to know how big. Small trucks shouldn't have any bigger than 20's. 22's, 24's and 26's definately do not belong on a small or mid siz truck. Personally I wouldn't go bigger than 22's on anything except maybe a hummer. 24's and 26's are too BIG.
