bobmnu I agree with you Annie that the money was not that important but the idea that I was being rewarded was motivation to be active. Now I suddenly find more important things to do rather than post on mylot. I will be looking into different sites that pay for...

It seems that the IRS (low level workers) in Ohio decided to delay the Tax Exempt status of any group that had Tea Party, or Patriot in their name. They also made unusual demands on information that was not necessary and was seen...

bobmnu Lawmakers are trying to sell the idea that the small business will benefit from this law. That is not true, the small retailers will be hurt the most. In my community we have a couple of specialty stores one for musical instruments and the other deals with...

bobmnu It is fine to pursue your passion but remember many people are going into debt to follow their passion. Just look in any big city and see how many music majors are playing in the streets to support themselves. As I drive around the country I see starving...

Jim Jordan is a notorious budget hawk, voting against hurricane Sandy aide, and supported the sequester saying that the national defense cuts are tough, but we need to save money. Well, now that the Army has come out with cuts...

bobmnu I will have to agree with you debater that it is right to point out that he is voting for pork for his district. However you should also have pointed out that the Sandy Relief bill was loaded with pork and that the favorite argument of the liberals is that if...

bobmnu It will be up to the seller to know all the laws and what tax to charge. What happens if the seller forgets to charge you or charges the wrong amount and in a year or two the state gets around to looking into the seller and finds that you paid less or no tax...

Nothing really complicated to this one. I'm just asking because there was that big mess over the Violence Against Women Act that a number of republicans voted against. There were several issues with the bill, but one thing that...

bobmnu Often what kills these bills is that so much other stuff is put into it but never reported that many can not in good conscious vote for the other stuff. In the most recent Federal Gun Control Bill there was a provision that the US Attorney General would have...

bobmnu Why do we need a Domestic Violence Act? If you hit someone it is battery, if you threaten someone that is assault and to kill someone is murder.

Just something I'm wondering -- not a big deal and certainly not the first time it's been addressed. But pressure cooker bombs don't seem to strike the same chord as guns. When there's gun violence in Anytown USA, not only do...

bobmnu My understanding is that the directions are on some radical Islam websites. You use the pressure cooker because if stopped over in the Middle East is is a very common item to have when traveling and will not draw concern from the police or military. When you...

bobmnu It is not the small community business that are pushing this law, it is the big stores that are backing the law. This is bad law that opens many doors that people may not want opened. If the state can force a business in another state to tax you for purchases...

bobmnu The people who are pushing this are the Big Chain Stores. They are doing it to eliminate competition. Just like many of the super rich they have got theirs and don't want to give any to competition. I see the Internet as a change in the business model and it...
