    Tax Cuts for the Wealthy

    Here is an example of how to spend that money....

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/us/12dogs.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp


    “She’s a top deal,” Julia’s owner, John Johnson, said as she escorted him around the grounds of his 15-acre estate outside Minneapolis. “She’s won awards. She looks at you, she’s got the most beautiful face.”
    But $230,000?
    “It’s a lot of money,” he said matter-of-factly. “It’s the speed, the smartness, the quickness — and you would not believe the roughness that she has inside. She’s like a little pit bull when she bites. She has that model face, and then opens the gums up and lets you have it.”
    Mr. Johnson said he got his first protection dog after receiving personal threats while he was running the Northland Group, a debt-collection company in Minnesota that he founded and eventually sold three years ago. Now he has six protection dogs, all German shepherds, and normally takes a couple in his car whenever he goes out.

    Well I say ...if you have the $ a dog is more loyal and protecting with a bigger brain than any man could ever be and 230,000 is cheaper than most men are..lol so good idea..I would buy one!!!!!! But the part that every1 gets stuck on is the part 230,000 for a dog?...I don't do that... it is their $ to spend as they wish and he is better than any home security system out there..so I say lets get 100,000 of these for the boarder of the USA baby! jk lmao good 1 CJ

    I got this dog in Moab, fubbers is his name, like many Moab high breeds (aka mutt) fubbers came in a box with a cute little girl crying cause daddy was gonn'a give the puppies to the pound ..

    I took fubbers ... a un weaned Golden Lab Bassett mix and raised this hand chewing obnoxious pup everywhere I went .. no real training cept, eat, sleep and shit ... To make a long story short like fubbers .. if you so much as made a funny move without my approval fubbers would have tore your ankle off and when down shit in your mouth ..

    Aside from Parvos, Rabies and all the other shots and regular vet visits I don't have 500 dollars in him before he died last year. Yet I wouldn't have taken any money for him as he was my true buddy ..

    But what you say about the rich and their excessive consumption tells me alot about money and how it trickles down t a dog trainer ...

    Awwwe well I believe it is not only in the bloodlines but an owner can make a dog just like this in a mutt... I think a dog raised by an owner reflects the owners true self. So when you are lacking in that area then you are forced to purchase one for your wife and families protection...lol isnt too far fetched. I am not against someone spending their own money to do whatever thay want with it. I do think they should donate and give more and whos to say they don't..but I could see this being a legitimate tax break. Isnt a home security system a tax break in a sense ...so I say if I had the money and under his circumstances I would buy one too If I were him!

    As long as the "Rich" are spending the money instead of hoarding it, it's a good thing, and yes it is trickling down.

    Just a question for those on the left . . . . .

    How long must a tax rate remain the same before it stops being called a tax break??

    Seriously, the tax rates have remained unchanged for ten years. If you want them to change, fine. But call it a tax hike, this nonsense of "continuing tax cuts" is ridiculous.

    hmmmm and ur point... if this is so ...then I need to thank her as she is trying to enlighten the cannibals that feed on the poor. She is using her power to promote change and we as a party love our people mingling with the narrowest of minds...we want our kind out there and makin the world a better place while most of the cannibales in your league are left eatin tater chips and watchin reruns of all in the family ..wanting a none of the above option on the next ballot.
