I filed a 72 page IRS tax report and paid more in taxes this past year than I made the year before in income.

Both acts were against the Constitution of the US Government.. -- Chris, Gallatin 1

Ted was convicted of illegal financial dealings and kicked out of the senate.

Any idea why they got the job running the Russian hoax? -- warren giese, OLATHE 1
