Irony - USA freeing other countries while we head towards socialism/communism. We have already begun to not be a free country anymore. Maybe some other countries will have to free us.

LOL. There is a wee bit of irony there.
Does anyone else see the irony? sm
I was watching tv last night and saw several commercials for various "tax relief" companies/attorneys who claimed that they could help tax payers negotiate a lower tax with the IRS, thereby eliminating the majority of their tax burden. Some of these were likely superinflated examples (owe 3M, pay 1M), but I have to wonder, if our income taxes are supposed to be a major factor in financing our government, why is this allowed to happen? Why are some people (those who are financially able to employ suce a company) allowed to dodge the lion's portion of their income taxes while the rest of us poor schmucks have to pay through the nose and can't even get a lousy deduction here and there because we "make too much money"?????? 
Where do I sign up?
the irony of it all
you trust Barney Frank on this?? He is, of course, the guy you want to trust with anything monetary. And better yet, YOU took it from Fox News!! And you just cannot be naive enough to think that they will not be costs to taxpayers, can you? By the way, that $250K figure is already down to $200K, so the initial figure was less than true, and there is nothing to say it will stop there. You want to "what and see." I say "look at the track record of what he has said and what he has then said differently." And Obama is not saying health care will be available to everyone. Did you see the physician last night who said that some people would not get the extended or multiple ICU stays because they are just too costly, that sometimes it is better to just take the pain pill and leave it at that, in other words just die. What do you think he meant by that, cuz I know what that meant to me. Did you notice Obama did not actually the questions about end of life care, simply saying that there would be problems to address? did you see how he danced around the question about what kind of care he would provide for his wife and children instead of actually answering it?
They already ARE allowed to stay silent. That's the irony of this.
It's just one crazy loon who wants to foist HIS version of the world on the rest of us, which is no better than ramming religion down a person's throat. What about those who wish to say the pledge, now they can't. It was better the way it was... Say it if you want, don't say it if you don't want to. That way everybody has the freedom to choose.
No, I didnt misstype....attempt at irony. lol. nm

No, I do not see irony in this and calling him a half and half?
I have a mixed daughter and she thanked me 1 time, saying "I have the best of both worlds." Perhaps he feels the same- it is not a put down of 1 side or the other- if you don’t understand now, you probably never will. It is the black that dominates as a color, not the white- therefore lots of mixed people go by the stronger of the 2 colors, has nothing to do with if they are pleased or trying to put down 1 side. I think this is such a trivial matter, myself. What in the world does it matter where he was born or where he lived? Why would you call him a half and half- you my sweetie are showing a lot of racism. Get yourself under better control, ok? You can have a stroke by getting out of sorts like you are doing. You seem to be fuming.
