"He should just write a check and shut up," Christie said. "I'm tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check -- go ahead and write it."

He is a fat, hypocritical, big mouthed, idiot.
He knows very damn well that the point isn't Buffet paying more taxes, it's rich people paying a lower percentage of their income in taxes than the middle class.
Maybe he should discuss that....or just shut the hell up. His angry fat man routine is running out of gas.

"He should just write a check and shut up," Christie said. "I'm tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check -- go ahead and write it."
Amen.
Although I'd add one thing. He should, by law, have the right to put binding conditions/earmarks on any tax overages he pays. Such as, 'For deficit reduction only', or, 'for public education funding only'.

Did he put any 'conditions' on how he'd pass this?
Repeal of marriage completely and replacement with social contracts? Etc?
If not... yeah. He screwed up with a huge segment of the population who are one-issue voters.

He says he wants to 'send it to the people'. Apparently they don't have a way to have their positions presented - like a proxy or something
The bigger problem for him is that he's purposefully chose to put himself in a position that will make him look weak. Whether the veto is overturned or it's passed on a ballot initiative, he's gonna lose this fight - and lose big.
It makes him look like what he really is - a weak, selfish bully.
Anyway you want to look at this, it won't play out well for him.
**Edit - In case I'm not clear, his 'compromise' is that it has to be passed via a ballot-initiative or he'll veto it**

Oh. Well I'm good with that then.
Jeez. It makes sense a 'cultural shift' issue can be decided by referendum.
I'd have more respect for him if he'd just say "abolish marriage and enact universal social contracts". But I can't expect him or Democrats to be THAT progressive.
They'll all catch up to me. Sooner or later.

New Jersey has a lot of problems with town government and the funding of schools. This makes people generally annoyed at.... teachers. 
Christie has made a political career out of arguing against teachers. There is little doubt that their pensions needed reform but Christie did it in a way that got him a lot of attention by the right wing. Democratic governors have also made changes to benefit plans but few if any were as rude to the unions in the process.
The real lesson of Christie's fame is that if you are a jerk to those evil teachers you will gain support with the right.
Also Buffet is right which pisses off those who think the only real problem in this country is that we tax capital gains at all.

The real lesson of Christie's fame is that if you are a jerk to those evil teachers you will gain support with the right.
Damn some of you are myopic.
Actually the response on both sides tends to be more about the manner in which he dealt with the unions than outcomes.
My dislike for the man comes down to him underfunding pensions and then using that as proof they shouldn't be funded. All while claiming to be fiscally responsible.

You see, the problem with that strategy is that unlike your efforts to claim otherwise, I *actually do* think that about you.
May work on others. But by now you should know better than to try and plant a burr under my saddle with that.

You see this response alot from the right wing thinkers....if you want higher taxes, just write a check yourself.
But they dont make the same argument about spending. If we want lower spending, we should just stop accepting government handouts for our healthcare, our mortgages, our capital gains....we must stop accepting payments from medicare or food stamps or anyone on unemployment...

Thats a weak argument Kay. You work for your health care benefit. Tax deductions are a dumb argument since its already our money. Same with CGs. They aren't payouts. They are less receivables.
We've had this argument on the Outpost before and it always ends the same.
Anyways I am sure we have a fundamental difference in what we consider your money and their money. I'll just leave it at that. By the way I am NOT for cutting from the poor. There is a lot we can cut though and I am willing to start with the military and moving on from there.
Feel free to make a fake quote from me.

This.
Did he put any 'conditions' on how he'd pass this?
Repeal of marriage completely and replacement with social contracts? Etc?
If not... yeah. He screwed up with a huge segment of the population who are one-issue voters.
Those voters were never going to vote for him to begin with. He loses nothing in this example.

Did he? I never bothered to look up where he made most of his early wealth. I guess I'll hit a couple biography blurbs here in a minute.
That would make sense, though. He approaches things more like long-term risk management and actuarial analyses... like in insurance... rather than short-term trading.

In your head you have convinced yourself its already 'your money' but there is no reason everyone cant make this same argument about all benefits and services from the govt. Its 'your money' only if the law says its 'your money'.
The distinction between payables and receivables is fairly arbitrary. If I say you owe me $100 but I will give you $10....its no different than saying you owe me $90.

Right.
Insurance companies take in trillions of dollars per year and horde it all and don't pay out claims at all.

When the Romans ran out of money for the their government in ancient times they would conscript people and put their richest citizens on trial for fake charges like treason for saying a mean word about the emperor at a dinner party and then take their estates. This was the case because the richest of Rome often had as much or more than the roman treasury..

They try not to pay
They dont pay as much as they should
They make you go to court to make them pay their fair share
If you use their service then they bump their rates
They will decline you coverage if you use it
They try to legislate requiring you to carry their coverage
Insurance is about as big a ripoff as casinos.

I have a biased opinion because I am an insurance agent but to say it is a scam is just ignorance.
Despite what you think they have a contractual obligation to pay for covered losses. Negotiating so they don't screwed is not the same as trying to not pay. The problems arise when people try and get money for stuff that insurance is not designed to cover.
FYI insurance is one of if not the only industry where government regulates how much profit a company is allowed to make.

My parents used to tell me, even when I was very young, to never become an insurance agent - to them it was the most soulless of all professions. And they were a lawyer and a cop!!!
I now see that they were just about right.

You should start an "Ask Me" thread about being an insurance guy, I don't think the outpost has had one up to this point, at least I can't remember one.
