COMMENTARY     

intrepidorator
8th September 2009 		America was not intended to ba a democracy, We are a republic. Ben Franklin said that democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep disputing the results.
Michael
30th August 2009 		The US rate tax rate isn't right. Social Security continues to be a hidden tax - 7.5% for the employee + 7.5% for the employer = 15% tax on the income. Therefore the highest US tax rate really is 50%+, making the US 4th highest in the world! The US is like Denmark, an SD country - Social-Democrat. Socialism meets Democracy...
