I really can't believe that people are defending our present "health care" system.  We have the most expensive health care system in the world and are not in the top 20 for longevity or infant mortality.  the reason our health care is so expensive is the insurance companies.  The best and least expensive coverage I hav...more

counselor - You obviously forgot that, along with being appointed the world's policeman, we have also been anointed the world's conscience.  Other cultures mean nothing to us because we are always right.  It is clearly better to starve to death than it is to work for low pay in bad conditions.  For all those that say t...more

Obama won the popular vote.  There has only been one president elected by the electoral college who didn't win the popular vote and that was Bush.

She has the right to post her opinion.  I don't have to respect it.  Her boss gets to decide who he wants to employ.  Maybe when he hired her, he didn't know she was a racist idiot.  Maybe she is in a job where she interacts with the public which could alienate a bunch of customers real fast.

Actually your premise is wrong.  If you make a stock purchase and the stock price goes down and you sell the stock at a loss you get to offset regular income with the loss.  You can only use it to offset $3,000 of regular income per year, but if you have capital gains, you can use the entire amount of your loss to offs...more

I don't know where you live and what the public colleges cost there, but working for minimum wage and trying to pay your rent and buy food isn't going to leave much for school.  Even if the tuition was free, you wouldn't even have enough left over to buy your books and the tuition and fees add up pretty fast.  I am not...more
