I actually thought this was a joke by Drudge when I first saw it:
Biden calls paying higher taxes a patriotic actThat's it Joe - tell the people that are making a nice six-figure income that you want to ream them financially, oh and please vote for Obama & me.WASHINGTON – Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In a new TV ad that repeats widely debunked claims about the Democratic tax plan, the Republican campaign calls Obama's tax increases "painful."
-------------------------
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."
What a complete dumbass.
Seriously, this is launching a Butt Monkey in public.

On a side note, we've gotten a new notebook and the wife is now happy & back to working.
The only ominous part of the story is that while the new notebook is a Toshiba, it runs Windows Vista....

Congrats on the new laptop! Email me and I'll send you a link to the best Vista help sites as assembled by my friend Kimberley.
As for Biden, well, so much for being the one who made sense and brought experience to the table.

People who more than $250,000 a year are in teh minority - less than.001% of the world actually makes that kind of cash. Compare that to people who make 100,000 a year or more - only 99.44% of the world make less than them.
The issue is that people who bring n 250,000 and up run a huge gamut - less than 5% of this countrys population holds over 90% of it's wealth - and those people don't pay taxes like you or I pay taxes. If they just paid taxes at the same rate you or I paid taxes, the windfall to the country would be incredible. And we have this giant debt to be tackled since we are paying for this enormously expensive war.
Don't kid yourself - you aren't rich enough to be struck by this. In fact, less than 100,000 Americans would actually be impacted - and these are among the wealthiest people in the world, many of them politicians.
Unrelated, How've you been amigo? I haven't checked in with you in forever. The East Coast is just how you left it, only more Starbucks than McDonalds now.
