But Senators and Congreemen don't do their own taxes. Another perk. The government does their taxes for them. Tax laws are too complex for Senators and Congressmen to comprehend. Irony and reality.

Why pay for three, when you only have to pay for two?

Pure speculation on your part. You have little to back that up. It can be done if the people will it.

I blame first Bush. Beause everybody blames him for everything.

Second Al Gore. If he never would have invented the internet or global warming we would never have gotten into this mess.

DanaC · 03-03-2009, 06:27 PM

I blame you. yes, you. It's all your fucking fault.

Aliantha · 03-03-2009, 06:29 PM

I thought it was Obamas fault?

Ok. But it's not. It is the fault of Bush.

Oh, and Al.

And the Illuminati. Serious.

I think the little green men did it.

Or was it the mice?
