Or back in my pocket.

Really? You said nothing of this during Bush's inauguration.

Amazing.

Now cuz Obama's cost more, you have something to say.

I could say same thing about any inaugural ball.

I could microscope just about any little thing and nitpick it.

Bush was huge yet Repubs are supposed to be about small government.

You said nothing.


I knew this shit would happen.

I was earning fuckall 4 and 8 years ago. The amount I pay in taxes has increased drastically since then.

Saying the money rich folk have always means there are poor people struggling as a consequence is a highly indoctrinated point of view. Marx, Engels, call it what you will.

How about, the money of the rich comes from hard slob on their part. People don't make fortunes in a day, (as a general rule), and from the point when they do have large amounts of assets then it is their moral duty to help the less fortunate.

The process by which they got to their status doesn't, however, necessarily mean they made poorer people endure sacrifices and harsher times.

Maybe Obama went a bit overboard, what with those past president allusions and all, and the bill being high, but he's certainly more interesting to listen to than George W.

I also can't help but emphasize how glad I am Sarah Pallin is far away from the White House.

Palin was the biggest joke of a VP pick I have bared witness (well there was Quayle).

She should have been a slap in the face of Republicans yet they manufactured this bullshit fervor for her.

Sooooooo?

Soooooo... 4 and 8 years ago I was getting money back. Now I'm giving away the farm every April.

4 and 8 years ago I wasn't nearly as concerned where my pennies went.

Just like when I bought my first share of UPS stock, I had little interest in how that small portion performed or how it was used. Now that I have a good amount invested in stock, I'm far more attentive and critical to how it's spent.

Sorry this inaugural ball fucked up your paycheck.

There are going to be more stuff going on the Obama administration during his tenure jus' ta letcha know.

Oh and this same stuff was going on during the Bush years....3 years ago.

How were you "giving away the farm" with those nifty Bush tax cuts anyway?

Were you critical of how those tax dollars were spent 3 years ago or are you going to peg the hit on your wallet solely on the time the Dems were in control?

Oh and the amount in taxes increased cuz your pay increased.

Obama's inauguration also had about triple the amount of people attending so shouldn't that cost more and even?

[Skiz]

Why do I even bother?

You completely distorted the fuck outta my post.

So to keep it short as I'm not replying to rods and comments I answered in the post right before yours:

Yes, I know why my taxes increased.

And I'm not even upset that I pay more in taxes now. I love paying taxes; it means I made a lot of money. I have no qualms whatsoever with the amount I pay in taxes either. I'd just like to see it spent more sensibly, no matter who is in office.

@Skee - you're still saying "i'd like to see it spent more sensibly" even after it was proven in this thread Obama's inaugural ball was actually cheaper than Dubbya's? Isn't that a bit hypocritical, all softness aside?

@Busy - totally agree with that bullshit fervor clause. Absolutely ridiculous watching a Republican defend her on Hard Talk the other day. The ep's probably on YouTube, so it's just a question of looking for it (was last Saturday's ep I believe).

How is it hypocritical when I said (and even underlined) "no matter who is in office".

I never blamed this on Obama; I never even insinuated it was his fault. I'm not sure why some are getting defensive or taking this as a partisan issue.

Unemployement is up.

The stock market is down.

Let's spend $150,000,000 on Beyonce, U2, and other extravagant costs. It's all about wasteful spending.

As if you'd know. The board wasn't around in 2001.
