Projected income is a politicians best friend. Cannot afford an expenditure? Add to your projected income.

It didn't happen very often, and IIRC it was the high volume accounts that had the problems. If you all of a sudden had a couple hundred people, all paying you the exact same amount, it threw up red flags. Some pyramid schemes, fake raffles, etc. used Paypal because of the lax banking laws.

Bush believes as long as we run huge deficits to help his rich, white friends, the middle class will be better off. Without the rich paying taxes, who does the burden fall to? The middle class. If we can make a general statement to make a good point.

Where politians can bend the stats is defining "taxes". Are we talking just income taxes on a federal level? Are we talking all income taxes? Do we include estate taxes, sales taxes, fuel taxes, etc.? When we start to include things like sales taxes then the upper classes and middle classes start to pull away. Technically a poor person, or "tree hugger" who uses public transportation has not paid sales tax on a $75,000 Hummer or gasoline tax on the 12 mpg he gets heading through the jungle of Madison. I believe a graduated income tax plan is in everyones best interest. I believe a balanced budget is the way to go, I do not like deficits. I believe we do not want to live in the America that the poorest can afford to build. I believe everyone who lives here should contribute to this great country. I believe given the choice of increased crime brought on by poverty, or public aid, we are better off with public aid. I believe we need to fix the way we fund our schools so that the poor and working middle class have better schools to send their kids. I believe we need bigger pools of people for health benefits. Small business's are the backbone of the US economy and need help in offering this basic benefit to their employees. I believe we need to encourage companies to keep jobs in North America and higher paying jobs in the US.

Back in 1999 when Paypal was still new, the crooks were working the system faster than Paypal could plug the holes. Some people felt their Paypal money had the same protections as a bank account (FDIC) or a credit card. PayPal felt otherwise. Basically PayPal operated almost like a "gift certificate". You have some money here that we are holding, but we are NOT a bank, we are NOT a credit card. During that time, some people had their accounts frozen, with hundreds or in some cases, thousands of dollars on "deposit". PayPal was trying to determine if those monies were the results of fraud, or legitimate transactions. Those people are the ones receiving some compensation for not having access to their money.

Read his page. Both parties want the same economic band and the bulk of their policy proposals target the $25k to $125k range. Despite some misconceptions from talk show hosts, the bulk of the taxes are paid by the middle class. Bush's tax cut helped those making over $175,000 the most. If anyone is forgetting the middle class, I believe it is Bush and his spend and cut tax policies.

On one hand you state you do not know where the range is, then assume it is $50,000 - $75,000. If you would like to deal in fact, John Kerry defines $200,000 as the dividing line. Here's a link to his middle class fact page. Official Web Site

LMAO. Kindof

I've never had a problem with my PayPal account.

What's the difference between Hi8is' drunken ranting and a conservative rant? At least Hi8is has an excuse

I guess he has a bug up his ass . . .

I'll take major league ready talent for minor league potential this season.

Good points.

I think Southsider may need a little more fiber in his diet. I'm also guessing a 1 for 6 day at the plate with a misplayed ground ball at short

I always liked the glow in the dark variety, it creates a strobe light effect

A pompous minister was seated next to a Texan on a flight to Dallas. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Texan asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a brazen lady of the evening than let liquor touch my lips." The Texan looked at the minister, then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "I didn't know we had a choice."

Good Morning Southsider. Nothing like a good fiery post to get the blood pumping and getcha ready to take on the day. Did you have to sit next to a smelly guy on the train

LMAO, I passed by the quote three times before catching the joke.

YASNY thank you for sharing that bit of personal information. I ask you, when you needed the help, did you consider going to a Church food pantry? Also, when you finally started working again, did you lifestyle improve? I've heard some people explain that you could have lived just great on public aid. Was that true?

I was the opposite. I was enjoying the message boards and suggested we have a area with articles, scores, etc. That should have been y'alls first indication that I was clueless
