You were supposed to file your taxes by yesterday. Shame on you if you didn’t. How else are we supposed to keep the war machine going?
Anyways, our tax system in America is a riddled mess. We shouldn’t have to hire people to do our taxes, and rich people shouldn’t be able to hire people to [...]
Obama said this:
But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been [...]
Back when the Abu Ghraib torture scandal broke, most intelligent human beings realized that the blame didn’t rest solely with Private Lynndie England. The news of “extraordinary rendition” and CIA black sites cemented the fact that torture wasn’t an aberration of U.S. policy, but it was U.S. policy.
