    I forgot about your goat farm, is it still growing?

    Thankfully, we still have the 5 that we started with and have no plans to add any additional members to the herd.

    So actually none of the options are viable for the time being???? I was correct in that assumption.

    I actually have quite a bit. I am one of those 'work hard and succeed' stories that Obama was talking about.

    As far as 'where the Whyte wymyns at' goes...

    No student loans, but colleges get federal money, whether you like it or not you flush a toilet, drive on the roads, fly in the air, every minute of every day is covered by the federal government, the food you eat, the water you drink, the air you breath, it all has federal money behind it.

    There is your mistake. It isn't covered by 'federal money.' It is covered by the tiny minority of modest and high income earners upon whose funds you are mooching. Following the words of Charlie Munger (the business partner of the Buttfat of Omaha), 'you should thank (insert mythological beastie here) for the bank bailouts' AND the modest/high income earners for paying your way.

    There is nothing wrong with constructing a law-abiding living; moreover, who grants you the right to judge being that you are a first generation anchor baby. The very people you spew your stench against who have not done a GD thing to you just brand you as a house pet of the tea party. Bro

    Green energy and upgrading infrastructure.

    I'm not entirely sure that tech/internet bubbles created jobs per se (remember in the 90s we were still losing manufacturing jobs). Think internet boosted productivity which created more profits which created more investment for more jobs. The point being unlike a housing bubble e.g. the net gain is permanent.

    If you look at tax rates historically, the data simply doesn't support the notion that tax increases depress job creation. So much else comes into play.

    Unlike those demanding their 'payback' from your owner, my parents came to this country legally.

    I, unlike you, am more than capable of setting my own spending priorities. One does understand why you need an owner to set your spending priorities for you. When it comes to my work product, there is no better judge for how it should be spent than me.
