Would it be easier to do a delete button than a preview button? Probably not: a preview button is nothing but a delete button that goes away later.

Why do wont politicians not do this? because it takes away their Power

Ding, Ding, Ding.....

We have a winner!!!

That's why I say it's ridiculous to ask politicians to take money away from themselves...

It's an exercise in futility...

My readers in Maine agree with you on the Collins thing. And that "just piss off the mosquitos" is dead-on accurate, I think. They voted a Tea Party governor in, and they haven't been very happy with him so far, from what I hear.

I had just fixed your link when I read this. You're right, some text got caught up inside the href tag.

What I'm wondering is how you're managing to post multiple links without being auto-held for moderation. How did you sneak [4] by?

As for preview, I will look at it over the holidays, but I cannot promise anything. It is programmatically very hard to do, so it's not an easy fix. But a lot of people have begged for the feature, so I will at least make the effort, I promise (no guarantee of success...).

Rich do buy things with their money, that employes sales people, to sell, transportation workers to move, and others to produce.

It is THEIR money!!...

...If she wants to raise revenue GET rid of ALL Deductions except a small personal deduction to provide a safety net that the very poor dont have to pay Federal Income Tax.

No deductions for yachts, solar panels, green cars, Mortgages, farm subsidy etc.

A straight percentage for each bracket.

None of us is really taxed based on income we are taxed based on how many of the tax loopholes of which we can take advantage.

Grrrrrrrrrr

Looks like Democrats are simply going to play fact-less partisan games with Collins' legislation...

WHY am I not surprised??

(With the exception of a few wealthy non-job creators.)

Nick Hanauer, one of the early investors in Amazon, recently posted this article about the topic of "job creators". It's one of the best I've seen.

"If the average American family still got the same share of income they earned in 1980, they would have an astounding $13,000 more in their pockets a year. It’s worth pausing to consider what our economy would be like today if middle-class consumers had that additional income to spend." - Nick Hanauer

The comment about "fallen sailors resting where they fall" is true in the Navy. After all, where are you going to find the bodies after they go down in 2 miles of water? Makes sense.

It is not true for Marines, oddly enough. Traditionally, Marines were equally as likely to serve aboard ships as sailors. In the wooden army, there were no land based Marine efforts (Civil War Marines).

I know from personal experience that while older marines consider it BS, young marines (generally in the first enlistment) quite literally consider themselves better human beings than sailors. This plus a taught attitude of never leaving behind a marine is the genesis of the "bring 'em home" feelings common to the Corps.

Not so much the Navy tho, and in this one, I think its the Navy traditions that should be upheld. Perhaps the Navy could buy the cemetary where the bodies lay and provide for the proper care?

Example:
I found out why the original link to Newt's individual mandate didn't work >>> I didn't have a chance to test the address I put in the href.

the actual site address:http://www.healthtransformation.net/cs/opeds_news?pressrelease.id=33

the address I left on the comment: http://www.healthtransformation.net/cs/opeds_news?pressrelease.id=33 Its at the end of the 4th paragraph.

Note the difference? I was using the "a href=...." link format and got part of the comment included in the reference.

Actually its too bad. I had already concocted a bizarre conspiracy theory involving moving the page around the site by using a random linkage chain in a desparate attempt by the Newties to keep the page a secret. Damn, I was so enjoying myself ...

and BTW, Newt asking congress to require insurance or a bond for all making > 50000:
pointer page
original page

I have no idea how the reference from yesterday got screwed up. I don't believe I've ever seen the page it referenced before....

Simple...

Democrats want to protect THEIR millionaires and billionaires, just like Republicans want to protect THEIR millionaires and billionaires..

I hope this legislation DOES go somewhere..

As long as it's not presented as forcing the rich to pay "their fair share", I won't have a problem with it..

The thing I'm left wondering is why some Democrat didn't come up with this... oh, well, more power to Collins!
