      I agree that they are paying what they are legally obligated to pay. I don't believe that they are somehow "morally obligated" to pay more or less.

      The problem is that, in the long run, you aren't going to get the poor to pay more of what they don't have. Furthermore, even if you get them to cost nothing, it doesn't balance the budget. That money to pay for social security and defense (the two of which combine to 40% of our budget) is going to have to come from somewhere.

        Dang. I admit on the way home sometimes I listen to Hannity. So his teaser tonight is he is going to reveal information about Michelle Obama's grades in college that the mainstream won't.

        Just when the stupidity and low track the dems take, namely Biden, Reid, Shitlz et. al. is in the limelight, along comes Hannity to show our side can be just as petty and trite. His over the top crap doesn't help the cause.

        Dang!

          Yikes.

          With Glenn Beck off the air, Hannity is probably the nuttiest right-winger on the air now.

            I can see the relevance of the candidates' grades, but spouses? They're supposed to be off-limits anyway.

              Good hell Hannity. Who cares about Michelle Obama's grades. What a jerk.
              Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                Is he worse than Rush? I don't pay attention to either of them unless they say something so outrageous that it causes a stir. It seems like Rush does that more than anyone.

                  Being an old man, I tend to question myself now and then. I am pretty dang sure he said Michelle's grades. I hope he didn't say President Obama's and I misunderstood.

                    Huh. So you're not saying that it's fair to ask the rich to pay more; you're just saying that getting the rich to pay more is the only way we can afford to pay for all we want. Right?

                      Hannity shouldn't talk about anyone's grades. I don't believe the man has a degree

                            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              I'm not a Hannity regular but I found this claim pretty far-fetched, so I tuned in to verify it. The only thing about Michelle Obama that was discussed was a DailyCaller article about a 1998 paper she wrote advocating race- and gender-based hiring at Harvard. And they discussed President Obama's missing grades.

                              Just be thorough, I scanned his Fox News website, and his main home page. Nothing about Michelle's grades. If Hannity is discussing it, I couldn't find the evidence.

                              It's worth a little effort to make sure your facts are straight before saying nasty things about someone. Just sayin'.

                                “That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.”
                                The entire English language is racial coding to some of these people. And if he's bothered by "otherization," he may want to look in the political mirror.
