Balloon guy 158 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Here's a fun story about one of the 'charities' that got an exemption quickly. It has Obama's half brother listed as the guy in charge. It was granted retro active tax exempt status even though it didn't ask for it. It doesn't actually have an address, just a PO Box at a Mailbox Etc store. It was speedily approved by the same lady who got the bonuses and promotions.... Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 So I guess Bob will want to know about the validity of Mailboxes Etc being able to represent physical addresses for corporations... Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,311 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So I guess Bob will want to know about the validity of Mailboxes Etc being able to represent physical addresses for corporations... Lots of non charity charities out there. It's why I think they should get rid of the charitable tax deduction. I know of two legit small businesses here in Canada that I have done accounting work for whose official address with the CRA which is the Canadian equivalent of the IRS is a mail box at the UPS Store. It's very common. Link to post Share on other sites

But we should expand our health coverage to everyone even though the amount of fraud in existing programs is in the billions? Meanwhile Apple Computer hid $44billion in taxes, the IRS would have caught it but Apple isn't a conservative company. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I can, but that misses the point of my previous post, which was that Colonel FeatherFace phrased his criticism of Obama in a pretty racist sounding way, while he was suggesting that he was, in reality, quite sympathetic to the blacks. Then he said "wat" so I said "wat." It's all there, in the bolded parts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's cute how the Republicans try to impeach people they disagree with. How'd that go with the last guy? Something about utter failure and embarrassment and approval numbers through the roof? Link to post Share on other sites

Are you high? During the presidency of George W. Bush we experienced: - The worst terrorist attack in our history. - The start of a major war in Afghanistan. - The start of another, simultaneous major war in Iraq. - The worst economic collapse since 1929. Can you name one single thing that's happened during Obama's presidency that's comparable to any one of those four horrible events, let alone all four? In relation to those four events, during Obama's presidency we've so far experienced: - Zero major terrorist attacks, and few minor ones. - Zero new wars started, and the winding down of the ones already going on. - A slow but steady economic recovery. (cue somebody explaining to me, without specifics or in-depth analysis, that all the bad things during Bush's administration were caused by Democrats and all the good things during Obama's administration were happenstance or caused by Republicans, because logic) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 I guess lying to a federal judge under oath should only be a crime if your approval rating are below 50%? And having your IRS target your political enemies is okay with a democrat administration, but if a republican does it they should be impeached? The need to defend President Obama at any cost does not override the possibility that he has committed crimes. To date he has ordered the assassination of more American citizens than Bush waterboarded. But his approval numbers change the constitution I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Remember when a bridge collapsed during the Bush WH? It was Bush's fault. In the meantime, President Obama spent nearly a $Trillion, and didn't spend a penny on shoring up an aging bridge in Washington. Here's some of the things he spent the money on: 700k in stimulus went to fund behavioral research of how monkeys respond to inequality, not fix the Washington bridge. $427k in stimulus to research better video game design for senior citizens, not the Washington bridge $447,492 in stimulus spent on development and use of “African American English” amongst 70 adolescents, not the Washington bridge. $550k in stimulus went to replace windows at a Forest Service center that is closed instead of fixing the Washington bridge $1.9Million in stimulus went to study international ant research, not the Washington bridge $389k in stimulus spent to study the separate effects of malt liquor and marijuana, not the Washington bridge $712k in stimulus funded a grant to develop “machine-generated humor”, not the Washington bridge. I guess that last one was an attempt to make the Teleprompter President funnier? Link to post Share on other sites

So you don't think the drone strike against Anwar al-Awlaki was a prudent decision? You're outraged by it and/or against it? I'm seriously asking, and I don't think we've ever really discussed it here. It's a very interesting case, and there are lots of points of discussion and debate regarding it. I would have guessed that you were for it, but perhaps not? And can you please show when Obama "had his IRS target his political enemies?" It happened on his watch so he deserves some of the blame, but suggesting it was his mission, or his idea, or his suggestion, or even that he was personally involved is, I think, a bit of a stretch. Or to put it another way, a fantasy. P.S. I can't tell how sarcastic you're being about blaming Obama for a bridge collapse, but I wouldn't be too surprised if the answer is: not very.

Or to put it another way, a fantasy. Here's the thing you are forgetting/ignoring. Nixon had nothing to do with the break ins at Watergate Hotel. He was impeached for using National Security to stop the FBI from their investigation which he was worried about sinking his re-election. The IRS targeted Romney donors, Tea Party organizations, and fast tracked democrat political organizations, deep in an election cycle. President Obama doesn't get to say : "Well, all the people who did this were put in place by me, but since I didn't know they were doing this, I shouldn't be held responsible." At least not in the rest of the world's history. Democrat koolaide drinkers will sell their soul to hold onto power, even power that is corrupt and cancerous to a healthy society. And it is chilling the blindness being employed. Link to post Share on other sites

I would have guessed that you were for it, but perhaps not? Obama targeted an american citizen with assassination, THEN had his 16 year old son killed 2 weeks later. It doesn't matter to me if the first guy deserved it ( he did ) you can search my response following the attack, the issue is that we cannot just trust the guy in office to use power like that responsibility. There should be an investigation, with anal probes and scumbag lawyers trying to make a name for themselves. Then in the future, any president who needs to use this power to kill an American without a trial will make sure he is doing what is necessary and not something that he wants to try out to impress Jody Foster. I do love the transformation the left is making though, from : "Bush is killing the children" to : "They needed to die because our president said so" It's reassuring to know that your argument before was never based on facts, which means this one is probably also feelings based.

There as many on the left who are blaming the bridge collapse on Bush's budget not being spent on infrastructure. This bridge, not just the last one that collapsed 6 years ago. This is just another way to point the spotlight on the insane spending policies of an administration that used 'stimulus money' to make political pay offs and completely ignored any good they could have accomplished for the country. And we will pay for their corruption in spades. And no, that is not a racist comment, by I see that that is where your racist mind goes... Link to post Share on other sites
