At Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) proposed the elimination of all taxes, but then added that the government did need some money to run.
"You earned every dollar, you should get to keep every dollar that you earned," the candidate said. "That's your money, that's not the government's money."
"Barack Obama seems to think that when earn money, it belongs to him and we're lucky just to keep a little bit of it. I don't think that at all. I think that when people make money, it's their money."
Bachmann added: "Obviously we need to give money back to the government so that we can run the government."
...we'll just have a big fickin telethon every year to collect pledges in order to finance the gummint.
What's her next big idea, marshmallow unicorns?
WWFSMD?
Let me get this straight.
She tells the audience that this guy "should be allowed to keep ALL his money" BUT THEN adds that "OF COURSE we need money to fund the Federal Government..."
So if INDIVIDUALS should be allowed to "keep ALL their money", WHO is left to "fund the Federal Government"??? That just leaves CORPORATIONS.
So is Bachmann here advocating that we shift the ENTIRE tax burden onto Corporations???
("The answer to his question is a number." I didn't hear "a number" in that answer.)

Corps are obviously people, they shouldn't have to pay taxes either..
We need a permanent solution, a final solution.. like when we drive a species to extinction.. We need to perfect things to the way they were and then No More Change..
Oh god this woman is a complete twit. I wonder how she would feel when the government quit giving her a pay check and deprived her of her Cadillac policy health care.
And stopped paying Marcus.
far left loon >.<
is as dumb as a box of rocks. How did she ever get through law school? At William & Mary, yet! (I used to think of W&M as a one of the prestige schools, too.)

No, Geazer. Saying that Michele Bachmann is as dumb as a box of rocks is a gross insult to all rocks everywhere! Please, LEAVE ROCKS ALONE!!!
I would rather vote for a box of rocks than for this dumb bitch any day.
to (what used to be) Oral Roberts Law School. Not William & Mary. Your impression of that school remains intact.
In 1988, Bachmann received an LL.M. degree in tax law from the William & Mary School of Law. They do not have that LL.M degree at this time now.
She only studied tax law at William and Mary. The laws school she graduated from was then part of Oral Roberts University. It later moved to Pat Robertson's Regent University. That should tell you everything you need to know. Is she qualified to speak about the law? Like a pig is qualified to speak about the physics of mud.
Bachmann has to double down on the crazy to get the baggers back.
Shelly, who do you think your audience is Trig Palin? I'm sure Sarah is watching this. She could say something this stupid for free, you however have to pay to do it. BIMBO. Sarah hopes that you'll totally bomb tonite so she can some in to save the day (of course this only happens in her alternate reality, but still....) Even people with Alzheimer's know you're a mess.
Is, "Leave Sarah Alone" what you're bringin' to this table?
The headline should've been;
"Bachmann Jumps the Shark!"
Good riddance!
Her plan to execute this mission, as she says is one given, "...from God", involves vaguely getting rid of all would-be criminals.
This came as a result of her past failure to eliminate all taxes in the United States of America, due to the Congress almost unanimously disapproving of the idea. Some were quoted as saying, "This plan is BALLS OUT CRAZY!" and, "Michelle Bachmann went off the crazy cliff a decade ago, but since this insipid plan of hers to get rid of taxation, coupled with her anti-gay tirade with her husband in denial, proves that she has finally checked into the crazy house for an extended stay."
When asked about her flat-out retarded plan, since there is no for-sure way to predict criminal activity in people, and that she's simply, to quote CurrentTV's Keith Olbermann, "an idiot", Bachmann gave recycled talking points about the latest plan that which the GOP have been circulating around the beltway media. No reasoned argument was derided from the Presidential hopeful, with her going so far as to declare, "this is happening!" before she entered her tour bus, which, oddly enough, was decorated to resemble a green field with multiple Lambchops (a character from a defunct children's TV program) strewn about, staring at a wide-spanning rainbow. A motif overlaying this portrait read, "Don't Choose to be Gay."
A golden retriever puppy was run over by the tour bus, which continued with no loss in speed, and within the next several hours after the incident, her approval rating dropped from an abysmal 5% to 1.8%.
Well played, sir!
Are you serious? I gotta see this!
Lamb Chop was a hand-puppet of ventriloquist Shari Lewis. I think she had a cartoon show when I was 8... Dang, I had such a crush on her (Shari, not the chop).

Ladies and Gentlemen, Shelly has left the building.
Wow. This woman is stupid. Eliminate all taxes. Sure. Let's start with eliminating paying Congress. She's also stupid for claiming that President Obama believes that all that money belongs to him? She's not only crazy and stupid, she's also a liar.
And this from a woman who has also benefited from farm subsidies and whatever program it was that her husband's business tapped into for his insane counseling services. People like this are hypocrites of the highest order. She, and anyone who supports her, is beyond help.

. . . are giving that money to Michele Bachman to stand in front of those cameras to articulate their "point of view."
She went to Oral Roberts U. 'Nuff said!
Sadly, her husband thought she went to Robert Orals U, hence his confusion.
That would explain those corn dog pics, now, wouldn't it?
That's some Caesar word salad right there.
I'm just sayin'.
....public speaking, one of your worst fears is that you'll somehow say something stupid and make a complete fool of yourself.
Evidently, Mrs. Bachmann has no such fear? It's quite amazing actually. She can stand at that podium and spout off the dumbest shit possible and not bat an eye?
When you think about it, the fact that she can do this with a straight face indicates she's insane, and therefore quite dangerous to herself and others.
And she's running for President of the United States.....................go figure.
It is a great country, isn't it.
Everything that comes out of her mouth is pig shit. She's just a side show, the bearded lady at the freak show.
Is it the 21st century yet?
people out there who agrees with her. They are so greedy they think they should not contribute to keeping our country safe. You know what if you don't want to help out then get the hell out.
...I say TERRIFYING!!!!
I'm confused, are Republicans fascists or anarchists?
Or maybe "Anarcists?" Na... that sounds like something she'd pay to have moved from her ass. Sorts like what happened to her brain.

idiot used to work for the IRS? With math skills like that?
"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." -- Robert E. Howard
President Obama for sure, but I'm pretty certain he's not keeping the funds for himself..
she's definitely a Palin wanna be
while i agree she is nuts, the federal government does not need our tax dollars to spend. taxes are what makes the dollar worth anything, so they cannot be done away withcompletely.
warren mosler for president
but then she finished by saying"obviously we need to give money back to the government so that we can run the government"

...the gop? C'mon guys, everybody else in the country could be lined up with screwdrivers to tighten the screw loose in her head and the gop would still endorse her. How imbecilic is that? Could you imagine how merciless the gop would be if someone this stupid was running on the left? They'd decimate that person. But the gop must need the "crazy" demographic or something to keep propping this...crazy lady...up on a stage and calling her a "Presidential Candidate". I really wish the country would wake up to teh stupid.
Then again, I wish the democratic party would wake up too and make a left turn in FDR's direction with a Progressive candidate.
Don't you think michelle bachmann's 15 minutes will one day be up and we'll find her in an alley with a thousand cats mumbling to herself...

...everybody just keeps ALL their money while they decide how much they'd be willing to "give back" to run the country...sounds like a REPUG plan to me...way to go missy!
...so that the government can give me, Michele Bachman, my farm subsidy entitlements, and give my husband's 'gay-cure' clinic his Medicare entitlement. And of course, under Barack Obama, your taxes went down several hundred dollars, but you dont know that because Fox News can't bother to tell you...so then I can say he wants it all!

Right, it's my money, and I decided that I want to pay for police, fire, sanitation, schooling and road maintenance with my money, instead of performing those activities myself.
EDIT: I also elect, delegate, and pay government officials to perform this functions, and instead of performing these function, Michelle Bachman is interviewing for a new job.
That's brilliant Michelle, I'm sure it sounds good to the brain dead audience attending the debate but what do we do for our infrastructure and society? Rely on donations???
So what's the number Michelle? You still didn't answer the question. I had no idea that Obama's presidency was the very first one where we started collecting taxes. Boy, you sure learn a lot of new things when Michelle starts talking.
I propose that Michele Bachmann be locked up in a padded cell.
And by the way Michele, if we eliminate all taxes, are you and
all your fellow elected officials going to work for free? Buy your
own fucking health insurance instead of our tax dollars paying
for it? Without taxes, you wouldn't have received the thousands
and thousands in farm subsides or got money for all those foster
kids you had in your home long enough to collect.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds--Bob Marley
The government can run on donations and support from churches. Just like the unemployed, disabled and elderly can count on them for support.
and still a private toll booth on every street?.....
And the bucket brigades would stand in line to cash their cheques...while houses burn down....
The biggest freedom in America, is that of ignorance.
At least, so far, we have a CHOICE of what swill we actually let our media bring into our dwellings (if we have a dwelling)... BTO was bringing the nut bars in by the crate load before, but now I'm afraid, she has gotten a new shipment of CRAZY... For all the bloviating, and screaming, and waving of hands, and nostril flaring, and wigs on fire at least there were sounds that some actually could turn into a language.. NOW, with this new shipment, all is lost...
BTO needs to go back to the founding principals of our nation and re-read the portions of those documents (cliff notes read TOO her may be ok as well) that ESTABLISH a way for the new nation to pay it's debts... Like a TAX - WITH REPRESENTATION (that's why she's IN the congress although I can't reason thru the process of how her voters put here there). I'm almost speechless here so bear with me.....
Not by chance, all of us can now identify Mrs. Bachmann as a true-blue lunatic. She needs to take the weekend off for a full-blown session of electro-shock... It may get her to the point where she could get the words out - "I QUIT"....... by far, her best position on any issue.
What did Michele Bachmann say when a woman told her that a vaccine mad her daughter retarded?
"Oh, Mom!"
... it's really interesting that no one can find this missing woman.

Just when you thought she couldn't get any more insane...
Oh please please please let the GOP run Palin/Bachman for 2012.
Then we would have no money to pay you for doing crazy shit in congress... one way of getting rid of you.
When this mindless inane idiot proposed her idea of "No Taxes," someone shoulda asked her if she was President, how would she get paid? Would she work for Free? A Special Tax just for her?

I'm sure most of the rich in this country nearly crapped a brick when they heard her say that.
Cheney probably nearly keeled over in his armchair.
Who will pay the Pentagon budget if not the taxpayers? Who will feed the army if not the taxpayers? Who will fund R and D and pollution credits if not the taxpayer?
Is this willful stupidity a planned strategy or are these people really that ignorant? I just can't believe this, it gets weirder everyday.
Or a secretary, or phone line, or toilet paper?
No toliet paper inthe WH our in Congress for 4 years?
No bath for Bachman?
Eeeeeewoooo!
faith-based coup d'etat? Another MIRACLE; just like in Luke 12:27, Matthew 6:28 or that fucking Joey Coyle mook... Baby JESUS will provide, hallelujah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_e...

The Koch Brothers could buy the Capital building for a base of operations. Maybe give tours on the weekends to make a little side cash.
Don't you all get it? The The rethugs are using Bachmann as a side shoe to distract you from the rest of the party of clowns.
