Gripen5 posted:In the late 1970's, a billed was passed that made it illegal for banks to deny loans based on the address of who they were loaning the money to. This was to prevent banks from denying loans to applicants purely based on the fact that they lived in a poor black neighborhood. I don't know if you can call HMDA toothless.

Gripen5 posted:Outside of the increase in the cigarette tax and the AIG bonus taxes, has taxes even changed at all in the last 8 months? I don't see how a single thing that grumpy Gramps brings up has anything to do with Obama other than that Ashely campaigned for him and then decided to shove it in her relatives' faces that he won. That's the underlying message right there. If you want gramps to help, you have to beleive what he believes, even if he is a bit racist and senile.

Grandpa probably has his money tied up with some Nigerians that hooked him up with a tax haven in response to Obama winning the election. He could get the money back, but it would cost an upfront fee that he dosen't have right now.

Toasticle posted:Todays phonecall with boss ended with him bitching about how niggers can't use vacuum cleaners without breaking them. I had sort of zoned out into "uh-huh. Hmm. uh-huh" mode and it took me a little while to process that and the best my brain could do was giggle like an idiot and say 'What?'. Get him to email his views to you and you can never ever be fired.

quote:“There’s no limit,” said Hatch. “And this is a technical issue, but it’s an important technical, constitutional issue. I’ve raised it. A lot of people have said: Hey, you’re right. Some have said: Oh, you’re being extreme. I don’t think we’re being extreme. I think we’re being, we’re concerned about individual liberties and rights, and that’s what the Constitution protects, or at least should protect.” HAHAHAHA, what the gently caress? When has Orrin Hatch EVER given a flying gently caress about personal liberties and rights?

müse posted:I live in Massachusetts and my favorite meme now is, "See you raised the sales tax! AND WE STILL LOST MONEY IN FACT WE LOST MORE MONEY THAN WE THOUGHT WE WOULD! TAXES BAAAAAD!! IF we lower taxes, however, we somehow magically make money!" MA loses money not because of taxes, but because a large amount of taxes gets shuttled directly to corporate interests and the neo-mob. See big dig, etc.

Cardboard Box A posted:But critics call Obama’s outstretched hand a miscalculation. Cheney said: "There is no reason for an American president to bow to anyone. Our friends and allies don't expect it, and our enemies see it as a sign of weakness."" Yeah, I can just see the logic of some country deciding to gently caress with the US because the president bowed to another countries leader. Are people this loving retarded?

Cardboard Box A posted:It's not just FreeRepublic posters. If the former Vice President said it, a lot of people will actually believe it, just because the former Vice President said it. Yeah, the US has the largest military force in the world as well as nukes with a historical precedent for using them....but the US is surely a paper tiger because the president bowed to a leader of a country.

Taerkar posted:Yeah, it's pretty amazing how the illegal immigrants with no SSN or the like are able to get free dental, healthcare, and so many other services. Their kids will probably get stuff, but not them. My finacee grew up in the south west and she tells me it's common knowledge. Literally everyone believes this. I'm sure it's true to a point (if you are bleeding out I'm sure the ER will not turn you away), but I don't think they are getting a real good social deal here.

MDDevice posted:It would make for an interesting article for someone to throw away all their documentation and live like an "illegal" for, say, 6 months. See what you can and can't do without being a documented citizen. It would be pretty relevant. I'm asked for an id by a police officer once or twice a year on average, so I would probably be right hosed unless I had a fake one somehow.

RagnarokAngel posted:You're making an assumption that the leaders of religions are pushing false information on people they KNOW is false rather than honestly believing it. I think that's a fair assumption. The higher ups of any organization usually do not believe that same dogma as the underlings. At that point it becomes about power.
