[sidthesloth]

Filled the kwaka yesterday @ $1.53.9 per litre.

[MrKymco]

about $3.70 a gallon where i am in South Cali. almost $4 a gallon for the premium i use in my scoot

i laugh at high gas prices, however 

[sidthesloth]

I dont laugh at high fuel prices, my car has an 80 litre tank. Still like driving it though.

We have some very deep thinkers in the U.S. conservative movement. Many of them learn a lot from a 5-hour/week course taught on television from a Prof. Glenn Beck.

More like 8-12 hrs a day... NOt only beck of course, he cries to much..Sorry but not every person likes the gov up in every fkn thing they do like some ppl do.. I'm sure you're very happy with it all

So, the gas price went up 10 % and your conclusion is that socialism is coming?
I think you are losing it.

p.s. Free forming of prices is the first postulate of free market. So, enjoy it.

this coming from a man that thinks giving over 70% of his pay to the government in taxes is a good thing... And btw, yes socialism is approching the u.s at an alarming rate. you have lived ibn it all your life, so you have no idea what it means to live free...(not that we are "free") before you go on your tirade

Totally clueless.

What's your effective tax rate, bat?  Go look it up from last year's return. Are you paying less than the richest bastards on Wall Street, who get taxed at a flat 15%?  I bet not.

Have your taxes gone up or down under Obama?

 I believe i only lose around 34% in taxes, compared to axy's 70+%.. I get to bring home $ for now, not work all week for $5...lol.... NO, i used to be clueless, i was very clueless at one point.. I'm sorry to doubt you but NOTHING AT ALL HAS WENT DOWN WITH OBAMA... NOWHERE.. maybe herman will run next year... Keep your fingers crossed..
Ahhh, the rich bastards dont even pay that much in taxes... yeah, im sure we pay more then them.. because the middle class makes up more ppl than wall street.... Always remember..."liberalism is a mental disorder"..

No need to believe -- go look at last year's tax return. If you e-filed or had an accountant do it, on the last page of the prepared return (or sometimes on the first page summary), there will be a line, "effective tax rate."

If your marginal tax rate was 34%, your effective tax rate was lower than that, because you are taxed at lower rates on the first percentages of your income (for instance, you pay zero for the personal exemption and deductions up to a certain amount).

I had to explain this to my scooter shop-owner friend who, although not rich, has someone else prepare his taxes. He too was convinced he was paying far more than he actually was. U.S. income tax rates on individuals have not been this low in five decades.

olbull, I know that some would prefer that only one side of a story get discussed. That's not how I roll. I didn't start the political talk here, but once it starts, I'm in it until the end. If that troubles you, I am sorry -- I'd recommend a PM to the person who starts the political talk, asking them not to in the future, as there's a guy who will not just sit down and shut up when it does come up.
