Yes the Congress of 1858 was probably much worse than the current one. Unless you're counting past lives I don't think that applies to the thread title. For the record I am all for counting past lives. :grin:
And here you see two sides of the coin - Obama is a dangerous dictator, and also a lazy golfing do nothing, just like he is a secret kenyan muslim, and a follower radical black christian, and an atheist The bizarre-o plotted x-y grid of Republican crazy, where Obama is always the ultimate bogeyman surfacing all possible evil no matter how diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive each branch of his devilry is to each other. The Republicans are obstructionists, and Congress is at a record level of inabilty to function - these are documented facts supported by empirical evidence, same as global warming.
Misplaced blame. Obama is the destroyer of America with his socialism, taxation and regulation. There is a reason Burger King and other companies move hq outside us. Amazon, google, apple.... They all avoid us taxes because us taxes are among the worst of all developed countries. Tax and spend liberals are destroying the American dream. Unemployment and debt. Thanks Obama.
Lol. Harry Reid and Obama are obstructionists from what the house wants to do. So what. And man made global warming is a farce. Polar ice caps are increasing and mean temps cooled the last 20 years. Climate change and co2 cycles have occurred for millions of years, long before the last century of man made use of fossil fuels. Man made Global warming is a scheme to tax and control and shift wealth to the politically connected. Biggest scam in a long time. The environment actually loves co2. Co2 is not a pollutant. It's what makes plants and food grow. And warm weather and longer growing seasons are much better for life than the coming ice age.
It's pretty funny how the koolaide drinkers defend Obama. The irs, NSA, EPA.... All target political enemies of Obama. They delete emails, obstruct information... Nixon was impeached after deleting a few minutes of tape recordings and his watergate cover up. Obama covers up Benghazi, irs, fast and furious,.... He is 100 times more corrupt than Nixon or Clinton (who was impeached for lying under oath in his own lies and cover up). Yet he is still your hero. LOL
lol if anyone is a koolaid drinker, it is you. Stop watching Fox News 24/7. Nobody takes you seriously with the kind of posts you make.
Congress is pretty bad. Harry Reid and Pelosi should be voted out. Along with the "Indian" from Massachusetts, Elizabeth warren. I don't expect you to take me seriously. Most liberals don't understand how to take anything seriously. They live in an alternate reality with head buried in sand waiting for someone else to take care of them and pay for what they want. They look at other people's hard work and say "you didn't build that, give me half".
Bullsh!t. There is almost no "socialism" whatsoever in Obama's agenda, taxes haven't been increased except on the very highest earners, and regulation is at the lowest levels in decades. The only way corporate taxes are "among the worst of all developed countries" is if you look at the nominal rate and completely ignore the effective rate. If you're trying to blame "unemployment and debt" on Obama, then you're the one suffering from "misplaced blame." Borrow and spend Republicans are much more of a problem than tax and spend Democrats. At least the Democrats want to pay for the programs they want. Republicans want to borrow yet more money to cut taxes even further. Get your head our of Roger Ailes' a$$, he and his pundits are lying to you.
The difference, of course, is obvious to anyone who doesn't believe everything they see on Fox without question or critical thinking. Perhaps you should look at facts instead of fiction. (spoilered for size) Spoiler
Are there charts like this available that go back much further? 130 years is a drop in the bucket in earth's history.
Evidently the corporate tax rates in a "socialist" nation like Canada are lower than they are in the United States. Otherwise, Burger King would not have considered inversion. As I said, the US corporate tax rate is higher than most other developed countries. Does that bother you? Because frankly the high tax rate means we get less tax revenue as companies like google, amazon, yahoo, apple,... hire a few accountants and lawyers in Ireland or the Cayman islands to set up shell companies and then keep all the profits in foreign economies and invest that money overseas to make jobs over there. But really, why should I waste my time explaining facts to you. Clearly you have no need for facts, you simply drink Obama koolaide.
They don't want to look further than that. It would contradict their message. The thing with data is, correlation does not equal causation. Maybe we could argue that computers cause global warming, or cell phones, or people not riding horses, or more women voting,.... how many things correlate with "warming" over the last 50 years?
What a logical argument. I guess when you can't think of anything intelligent to say, you say something unintelligent like an insult.
You can believe Al Gore power point presentations. I rely on facts. I side with Greenpeace environmentalists who say man made global warming is a farce:
