Lisa Benson for March 20, 2013

At least our politicians just take it out of our paychecks and say “It’s for the kids!”.

Someone put me out of my misery: I agree with Lisa Benson. :-|

Actually most of the depositors in Cyprus are Russian oligarchs trying to avoid taxes in Russia. Cyprus is the Med’s version of Cayman Islands.

Made my comment on this under Arial.It’s a mess.C.

Everything has to come back to Bush, for you, doesn’t it? Last I checked, no American President has anything to do with this issue. Go troll somewhere else.

If it works, it is a small price to pay for fiscal accountability.

So apparently its ok for the Russian oligarchs and mobsters to launder their money through Cyprus.

Why can’t the EU just give about a trillion dollars to the banks? That should take care of the problem….worked here in the States……

“Maroons abound”.I thought maroon was maroon. What does color have to do with it anyway?Pay 10% or lose everything. Which is best? The people with small accounts would not be affected.

hate to burst bubble but UHC has been around since 60’s, never mind that you could simply treat private healthcare as taxing on your wealth.

That or the hospital bill that drives you to bankrupsy because you didn’t have health care. which happens to account for up to 60% of all bankruptcies in the USA

Is UHC healthcare free, No. The Cost Per Household is a wooping 10k, that said the cost to the average american household combining government expense with the money doled out to the healthcare providers hits about 16k

As an FYI the Sun chain of newspapers and the Fraser Insitute are about as far right as you get in Canada
