Oil tycoons only pay 10%? Just because they have the luck to sit on an oil bubble with their lazy ass or daddy gave it to them. I'd let them pay 80%!

This IS a political stance. You can't escape politics.

I'd cut all corporate welfare. Other than that, everyone should be taxed equally and class warfare is petty self righteous BS since laziness manifests in all classes.

4. They are politically correct and support the nanny-state.
5. They think that school bullies should be allowed to have rights.
6. They think that you should not kill burglars who break into your home.

These are to name but just a few.

What are you? Left-wing or Right-wing?

Im Right-wing and proud of it!

That's a pretty big generalization IMO.

I'm upper-right wing, per say. In terms of the form and role of government, I advocate:

-Representative Democracy
-Individualism
-Promotion (but not indoctrination) of a "Civil Society".
-Federalism
-Republicanism

In short, i'm arguably as close to America's founding principles as you can get today.

Why should you make 45 mln$ a year because you own (inherited, on land stolen from indians, something like that) an oil bubble?
Many americans just don't understand that THEIR wealth means misery for most people on this planet (they have to pay absurd fuel prices, could be much cheaper).

Are gypsies a big issue in Europe or something? I remember hearing about France wanting to kick them out not too long ago. Just seems like a weird issue in the 21st century.

There are many gypsies around still, and there is a lot of prejudice towards them over here in the UK. The majority of people are really harsh towards them, I have no idea why though since I quite like the idea of travelling around the country in a campervan.

'Gypsies' is a derogatory term, they are called Romani People

I imagine some probably do so that people know who they're talking about, I don't think many people care to read into the history of the Romani people. Gypsie is an old term that has to do with the idea that some Europeans had that the Romani were from Egypt (Egypt/Gypsie...)

I need an example of how sitting on an oil bubble means misery. DO NOT go off on another "similar" topic. I want to know exactly what people are miserable because someone sits on an oil bubble, and name the oil bubble while you're at it, Lefebvre.

And someone besides the Iraqi's too. :wink:

So the man isn't allowed any input into that?

As I said, politics is on an axis - authoritarian/libertarian and left/right.
