"it's rich people paying a lower percentage of their income in taxes than the middle class."


You like making shit up or do you just believe what anyone tells you.

I must be the only Outposter who actually likes McDonald's burgers. The only question I have is considering how much all of you despise them why do you keep buying them?

"He should just write a check and shut up," Christie said. "I'm tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check -- go ahead and write it."





Amen.

Although I'd add one thing. He should, by law, have the right to put binding conditions/earmarks on any tax overages he pays. Such as, 'For deficit reduction only', or, 'for public education funding only'.

Stupid to veto the gay marriage law. He wants to appeal to the social conservatives. He also needs to exercise a bit more!

He is the size of a Fat Outposter

Did he put any 'conditions' on how he'd pass this?

Repeal of marriage completely and replacement with social contracts? Etc?

If not... yeah. He screwed up with a huge segment of the population who are one-issue voters.

He says he wants to 'send it to the people'. Apparently they don't have a way to have their positions presented - like a proxy or something

The bigger problem for him is that he's purposefully chose to put himself in a position that will make him look weak. Whether the veto is overturned or it's passed on a ballot initiative, he's gonna lose this fight - and lose big.

It makes him look like what he really is - a weak, selfish bully.

Anyway you want to look at this, it won't play out well for him.

**Edit - In case I'm not clear, his 'compromise' is that it has to be passed via a ballot-initiative or he'll veto it**

Oh. Well I'm good with that then.

Jeez. It makes sense a 'cultural shift' issue can be decided by referendum.

I'd have more respect for him if he'd just say "abolish marriage and enact universal social contracts". But I can't expect him or Democrats to be THAT progressive.

They'll all catch up to me. Sooner or later.

If you are being serious, you can no longer use the word statist. Ever again.
