Ramblings From Justin Penney

I abhor Bill O'reilly. This is the only time I've been able to stand to watch his show for more than 15 seconds. I'm also much more impressed with Obama. His knowledge and ability to take hold of a conversation is amazing! I REALLY hope that Obama wins in November.

Edit: Bill O'reilly is inconsistent as hell. He agreed that Social Security is important but then railed on the "socialist tenet" of redistribution of wealth. What does he think Social Security is?! I can tell you what it is, taking money from working people and giving it to people that cannot work. Redistribution.

One thing that irks me ... why are wealthy people, meaning filthy fucking rich, so afraid of raising, or eliminating, the FICA cap? I have to pay FICA on every last cent that I earn while people making over $112,000 per year on pay on $112,000. The wealthy complain that progressive taxation isn't fair to them ... what is this?! It's inverse taxation! As you make more you get taxed less? Screw that. FICA should be paid equally as everyone can draw equally.
