Well...that's not the reason you should be fully on board. It is absolutely ridiculous that the Federal government is funding Planned Parenthood.

SMFH.

Can't really argue with this. If the gubment is gonna fund PP, they might as well fund the Boy and Girl Scouts, Big Brothers and Sisters, Boys & Girl Clubs, St. Jude's, etc, etc, etc...

The gubment funds cynical rich white fucks and giant corps with billions every year. Talk about a waste of tax dollars.

You've reminded me that I need to look some stuff up about "subsidies" to companies like that. I suspect that most if not all of what people refer to when they talk about "subsidies" to the oil companies, for instance, consists of "tax breaks."

You are nto giving someone who is paying billions of dollars in taxes anything by giving them a "tax break." You are simply taking less from them. It's like if a schoolyard bully goes over to a smaller kid every school day and says, "give me a dollar or I'll beat you up" so the small kid gives him a dollar. Then one day the big kid says, if you smile at me before I take your money you only have to give me 50 cents. So the kid starts smiling at him.

The bully didn't "give" that small kid 50 cents per day because he's no longer taking a dollar per day from from him and instead is taking 50 cents. He's just taking less of his money.

Ok. That didn't take long. I went to Wikipedia first so I'll have to verify the info but it appears to be as I suspected. This is what I got from the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_industry" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :

"The United States government provides a large subsidy to oil companies, with major tax breaks at virtually every stage of oil exploration and extraction. Capital expenses, including the costs of oil field leases and drilling equipment, are taxed at an effective rate of nine percent, which is a much lower rate than the 25% rate for general business taxes and lower than the taxes of virtually any other industry, according to a 2005 study by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. For example, while the Deepwater Horizon oil rig was registered in the Marshall Islands, since registering off-shore lowered the U.S. tax liability, the U.S. government was giving the rig's owner, British Petroleum (BP), a major tax break when BP leased the rig: 70% of the rent was written off in the form of a tax break used only by the oil industry, for a tax deduction of more than $225,000 per day from the day the lease began."

So, as I suspected, it looks like it's the same old nonsense of saying that government allowing people to keep their own money instead of having their blood sucked is "giving" them something. It's not.

This is right up there with Matt Damon lecturing me about climate change...

Also, IIRC KI never posed nude... I care even less as a result.

You have to admire the way she speaks out for her beliefs given that she works in an industry that generally considers Planned Parenthood to be a secular church.

I will admire her when she takes her clothes off and posts the pics on the internet.

You say tomato...

If an industry pays less than the standard tax rate they are being subsidized. If they externalize the environmental, infrastructure, health, and military related costs of their product, they are being subsidized. Sorry for your confusion.

No pics? Come on, guys...

Definitely had some good times with my dad's Kathy Ireland SI's back in the day.

Kathy who?

I hit the "recommend" key by mistake...my bad.

PP has done more to reduce abortions than the fucking catholic church.

If altar boys could get pregnant, the catholic church would consider abortion a holy sacrament.

Yeah, T, we've been through this. It's murder to you and the rest of dopes here. You do realize your god is the most prolific abortionist ever.

What kind of god creates abortion factories out of our women?

Since you don't know what's in the minds of the women who miscarry, you'll never know what was behind the intelligent design.

Ooops! My mistake. I forgot you know everything.

What, for six years you've been saying this and it still isn't any more true today. Get some new material.
