You had to go there??? I can't wait for that psycho to lose so all of the crazies cab go back to their bunkers. 

Does the story of Ebenezer Scrooge do nothing to your conscience?

You make lots of money》pay little in wages》pay nearly nothing in taxes》horde money》complain about the countries debt and lack of jobs》pay for slave labor overseas》save even more money》complain about America not making anything anymore... I mean I would rather help those around me and make the country better as opposed to being all about me and mine. 

Guess that's why I chose public service over a high paying job/career. End rant,  Go Bulls!

Public service... that's one road that leads to vast fortunes (last I looked, public service has been good to many individuals - the Clinton's come to mind - maybe one day it will be good to you as well). However on a different note, you jumped too many parallels in your response. I wasn't talking about large corporations - I was talking about the small business owner, the business professionals working for a corporation, etc. 

You're not assuming the risk that a business owner takes on when they branch out on their own. While you're maybe punching an eight to 10 hour clock Monday thru Friday, most small business owners are lucky if they're not working 15-18 hours daily. There's so much that goes into running a business - for the government wanting to penalize (over tax) the fortunate few that do survive the grind, it's pretty shameful. 

Not everyone is built the same. You can be an enabler - I won't. I was raised in a neighborhood where the rap sheets were long - I didn't want that life. Unfortunately, many of the kids I grew up with didn't make that same decision (and therefore there are consequences for their actions). I've learned Americans take things for granted. I've run into enough immigrants - both legal and illegal, that realize hard work is truly the path of least resistance to success in America. Those looking for a handout - they always will.

I hear you and I appreciate your response. I chose to teach, so big money isn't in my future. I'm very giving by default because I know what it's like to be without and I see too many people struggling on a daily basis. 

Most people I know are very proud, so asking for assistance to begin with is a hard thing to do. My family when I was younger had to get government assistance for about 2 to 3 months. That was one of the hardest times of my early childhood.

So I guess we see two sides of the same coin. I see those who struggle and only need a small Helping hand to change their life forever. There are always going to be people who abuse the system no matter what system it is. I believe that the majority of Americans who struggle don't fall into that category.

I respect the struggle of small business owners I've seen many attempt to be successful. But when you have more you should do more. I'm sure if someone is pulling in 6 figures or more, being taxed 15% won't break the bank. 

Plus it'd go to the greater good. We do better as a nation when the least among us is healthy, clothed,  and educated. Much love!

Yes it's ******

just looking at Taggart from the outside I think he's a good fit for USF but would flop at places like Auburn or LSU. Both of those places never have a problem recruiting. Taggart doesn't do anything special as an in game play caller, he just has more athleticism and talent at USF against almost every opponent. Compare that to Tom Herman when he has Houston play Florida State and Oklahoma, he has made Jimbo Fisher and Bob Stoops look dumbfounded on the sideline. Herman has proven that he can win big games vs teams with equal or more talent, has Taggart?

Here's why, from what I recall:  Because a while back, we had one poster in particular who posted some images that were, shall we say, questionable ... something that Brad didn't want seen by the Google bots that troll the websites looking to report/remove questionable stuff.  

Basically, to keep the Mad Cow as pure as possible - allowing people to post pretty much what they want, the password hides the questionable stuff from Google and keeps our board from being in jeopardy of some bad things happening to it.  What specific bad things, I don't remember, but that's pretty much the main reason for the password protection. 

If you want the password, you can send me a PM and I'll send it to you.  Just don't post it in any threads outside of MCL.
