thats the salary of his JOB, but what does he take home in campaign contributions? i doubt he's got shumacher money, but he makes more than you think he does





i wouldnt think that he keeps the money but that it goes to the repub party. i know he has some money still from oil and the rangers and other things but i still dont think he has all that much.

people will just cheat less, tax revenue will stay the same or maybe go up. this happened in NZ and the US, when the tax RATE goes down, the revenue goes up, because people cheat less

It's great that people are trying to help and all... And I feel very badly for the victims.. But what about all the florida folk whove been smashed? California with it's fires? Where were all the celebs after 911? (I do know some helped...)



What about the THOUSANDS of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with NON-Armored hummers? We couldn't afford that but we can afford relief to other countries?



Sorry... Just ranting. Hoping a random attachment with boobies will occur.
