Obamas SOTU Speech

[Slowhand]

Did he address anything about the current state of the economy or was this just him announcing his bid for reelection?

It was the "State of My Upcoming Election" Address. And the "vilify people with money" speech.

And now for the rebuttal!

I would be tempted to beat their ass with a baseball bat if they were my friend. And then magic marker a mushroom stamp with the initials b.o. on their forehead. Pissed me off just reading that bullshit...

Looks like our economy is STILL collapsing. Wonder how bad he can make it by November.

Does this President understand the concept of the corporate double-taxation? Methinks not.

I doubt it. Like the fools up in arms b/c Romney paid 15% ... on profits that were already taxed at 35% (or 44.75% taxes all in).

Literally just quoted that 44.75% number to someone earlier today who refused to acknowledge its relevance.

Yeah but...

Sadly, you are part of the 1% of our country that understands this concept...

Not a "friend" more of an acquaintance from HS. I had to get on his ass a while back about turning that execution deal into a race issue. I can't remember the guys name, it was in GA IIRC.

they also dont understand 15% of 3,000,000 = $450,000 in taxes paid vs the "secretary" they keep quoting paying 15% of $30,000 which is probably $0 in taxes due to deductions

On a side note, the debt per person is absolutely fucking nuts. I somehow "liked" NBC's Facebook page so I get all of their bullshit feeds. One of them happened to be something about the average credit card debt in Texas was $6,000. The majority of the 30-40 people who posted had much higher cc debt! I don't understand what these people are fucking doing with their money.. Unbelievable..

Just making sure ... you know that's $14.3 trillion total debt/US population of roughly 310 million.
