Gweed:  Q:  How many people you employ?
USRuf:   Q:  How often do you beat your wife?

Answer:  Mu.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mu&defid=459861

"Mu" is the correct answer to the classic trick question "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?". Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer "yes" is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but "no" is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually "mu", a Japanese word alleged to mean "Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions".

Do you have the time? After all, you are busy writing the posts for USRuf, RW, trog, townsend or are they writing for you because you all have the same message.

Wow.  Just wow.

Umm, I repeated myself on purpose because you still have not addressed my point. As for name-calling, are you referring to my calling usruf a "loser" and a "moocher"? Sorry if that offended YOU and anyone else, but I think usruf can take care of himself and does not need you to fight his battle. Curious, though, how you admonish me for name calling and in the same breath call me "childish". Just wow to that rank hypocrisy.

"Childish" is an adjective, not a noun, and therefore is not name-calling.

Go ahead loser. And while you are at it, ask them how often they beat their wives...

Updated: Thanks for proving my point about you being a moocher, mooching off your grandfather's legacy to make some inane point. Now, you will excuse me while I bathe in a huge pile of money.

Thanks for proving my point.
Funny how you take my "how often do you beat your wife" point LITERALLY.
I thought "lawyers" were smarter than that.

You're the one trying to make inane points; and you're the one who called me a POS.
Mooching off my grandfather's legacy?  Using your condescending arguments, he was a moocher.... So will you now admit your argument has no merit?..... and that you're a complete and utter rightwing political whore....

Do you remember why Bush gave out those tax cuts after he got elected with 500,000 less votes than Al Gore?

It was because the government was running a "surplus,"  and dubya told us, "It's your money."

So, using Bush's own justification for dismantling of the Clinton tax code, he should have gone back to using tax increases to PAY FOR TWO WARS.  

But instead, we were supposed to make the Bush tax cuts permanent.

Fool me once, shame on you.....

What if TU only was able to raise $15mil for stadiums renovations and  a new pressbox?
What if the Dallas Cowboys had to use Texas Stadium for another 10 years?
What if T Boone only had $50 million to help out the state-run school at OSU?
What if George Kaiser could only have raised $65mil in private $$$ to combine with the proposed River Tax?
What if the Channels people didn't have an extra $10mil lying around to pay a name-architect to design three man-made islands in the middle of the Arkansas River?

Who brought us all that money?  The kinda money that makes fortunes?....... the wealth redistributors over on Wall Street, that's who.

A philanthropist... is not a philanthropist... is not a philanthropist.

Here's hoping that the poor, down on this luck soul that provides you a job takes his money and runs. BTW, still haven't hired anyone huh? Still mooching a living off those evil wealthy and successful people you want hammered with higher taxes?  You remind me of every reason why my charitable giving has changed. Thanks for the refresher!

And one more thing, not a good idea to be arguing Bush's fiscal discipline with the current moron in office. Last I heard, Obama has given us a 1.4 TRILLION dollar deficit and a nearly 1 TRILLION dollar boondoggle masquerading as a stimulus package. And the efficacy of that stimulus package? You guessed it! It apparently has maxed out:

So here's a toast to that approaching 10% unemployment rate coming down the pike (and you perhaps joining that number). You remember, the rate that was not to surpass 8% if stimulus passed?  Incidentally, why aren't you screaming at Obama over that unemployment rate, over the outrageous deficit, over the huge number of our dead and wounded in Afghanistan....

^^^Pompous.  Arrogant.  Despicable.^^^

So, you use charitable giving as a bully pulpit for your political beliefs?
Nothing new.
Thanks for reminding me why I support a progressive tax code..... I'd support a flat tax if people like you didn't exist.  I'd support a flat tax if we didn't have financial  institutions busy re-distributing wealth in an exaggerated way from those who truly produced and earned it.

I chose not to supervise people or start a business.
That does not make me or anyone like me (including my grandfather) a "moocher."

So, people who've never worked to the extent that I've worked are worthy of admiration simply because their money makes more money than I do?
I think not.

I admire true philanthropy.... I admire hard work... I admire middle management who are more likely to "create jobs" than anything done by a single CEO or child of priviledge.... I've done my share of screening job applicants, including management....

I'm sorry.  Who's REALLY the moocher here?

Must...resist...urge...to...give...props...to...USRUF. Can't, because I agree with the point of that cartoon.
