      I would love to hear Hannity's plot summary for the movie Fargo.

        Hannity would cite Resevoir Dogs as an example of why Gun Ownership is a good thing, and should be as unrestricted as possible. 

        Wall Street is probably his favorite movie, except he prob thinks that Charlie and Martin Sheen are supposed to be the villains.

        And how about that radical group of terrorists led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organna?  Why do they hate law and order so much?  Blowing up no less then TWO military bases that no doubt employed millions of people.  What unpatriotic scum!

        Well said.

         

        But to carniverous wingnuts like Insanity, the wealthy are entitled to any and all money that they can get their sticky little fingers on. It is the sole purpose of government, as far as he's concerned... to assist the few in piling up massive personal fortunes. That, and to control those among the masses who are so treasonous as to demand more than the crumbs and splatters that spill down from the over-laden banquet tables from which Insanity and his brethren in the power elite dine.

         

        I guess you've got to do SOMETHING to fill in that gaping hole where your soul ought to be.

      First  of all, I despise that jingoistic, motor-mouth Hannity, who has the critical thinking skills of a barn  owl. And it pains me to have to agree with him. But in this case, he is absolutely right. For Congress to use the income tax as a weapon against anyone they don't like is totally unconscionable. The Democrats and Republicans alike are behaving like idiots, or worse. 

      Congress tried to do something like this once before when it came to gun control. They wanted to place a huge tax on any gun that was owned by someone living withing several blocks of a school. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not use the income tax as a means of social engineering. One thing about Congress that is  obvious--most members don't learn from their mistakes. In fact, they don't even acknowledge them.

      Sheesh! I can't believe I'm agreeing with Hannity.
