Bush is to blame for all the problems

Reagan started global warning? The Kyoto accord would have stopped it? Come on CMG, are you trying to play me along so I will praise Bush?

Not ONE signatory of Kyoto has acheived their goals for 2005. Only the US is close to what would have been her goal if she had stayed a part of it.

 

The government is to blame for not having an adequate levee system in place that could have prevented the flooding.

The government is to blame for not having a disaster plan springing into action the moment that what they knew was a woefully inadequate levee system broke.

 

There is a pipe dream if I ever saw one.

Hurricanes and natural disasters have been around about as long as disease and poverty. Last check, that was prior to 2001.

 

Uhm.....I THINK C.M.G. is kidding.

They were the ones who should have lobbied for it until they got it.

I think they should have collected the money from the citizens of Lousiana and made sure it got done.

 

The average American works until July to pay all their taxes - federal, state, and local.

 

I fail to see how. That means that 50% of their money goes to paying taxes. That's just not the case. My personal income tax rate is 15%. If I calculate all the sales tax I paid last year (about $3000), property tax ($1500), that still only puts me to about late March or early April at the lastest. That's more like 25-28%.

 

The city of New Orleans has been forking over 2-3 million dollars a year to a sports franchise to cover losses involved in the use of the Superdome.

Which is more important? A sports franchise or the lives of your citizens?

Priorities folks.

 

And we can do it without signing our soveriegnty as a nation over to those that hate us and would love the power to dictate to us. Clinton is a one worlder that would give the whole country away to satisfy the wants of his buddies in the UN.

Tax Freedom Day was May 31st 2005

 

And Germany is WAY behind her Kyoto obligations.

 

Let's see, in Florida, where his brother is governor and which was politically crucial to him, Bush reacted before the storm hit and was criticized, while in Louisiana, a vacationing Bush didn't react until how long after?

It's possible, those critics have a point...

 

See CMG, not ALL my posts are anti-Bushian .
