Sure is. The only good way to look at it is it only brings the tax per stick to $0.40, instead of $3. Biiiig difference, especially when you're looking at box prices.

Haha, that'd be nice. But of course, now they're trying to prove that it's linked to genetics and blah, blah, blah. Basically so people don't have to shoulder any responsibility when they can't get off of their couch.

You have to love how Democrats constantly want to keep raising your taxes and spending your money yet some of the top politicians in their own party dont pay their own taxes.

Well actually that isn't really true. Raising taxes on higher incomes is a good idea and spending money on things that will actually benefit the country is a good thing. Spending money on foreign interests and corporations is not. So the last 8 years isn't proof enough?? That being said, raising taxes for higher incomes say above 200+ or even a little higher. I don't believe that people under that are getting higher taxes...

I agree, if anything Iraq should be paying us for being there, they've got enough.. Same with saudia arabia, they owe us for the 1st gulf war...

I normally don't discuss politics or military issues, but alot of people don't know this. After Deser Shield/ Desert Storm, the Kuwaiti government wanted to pay each American serviceman involved $5,000 each. Our government wouldn't let them because they didn't want our military to be looked at as a mercenary force. I'm not saying either side was right or wrong, just putting the information out there.

We are a mercenary force. Why else would we have such strong ties with Israel? Why are we so heavily engaged in the Gulf? We just don't want it to be so blatantly obvious, I guess. I think we should examine our opportunities for increased revenue. We can always say "no" to someone who asks to rent out our services. I just think that if we're going to try to be the police force for the globe, they should have to pay for that protection. Or just get our hands out of it and let them fend for themselves. I'm fine with either decision, although right now our economy could sure use the boost. We manufacture and sell our equipment overseas, and we don't sell these services to countries which don't have our approval. Now we're just bundling in the services.

Also, what incentive do these other countries have to purchase our weapons when they can get it all for free, and not put their own lives at risk to defend themselves?
