WASHINGTON — Just a month after accusing Pakistan’s spy agency of secretly supporting the Haqqani terrorist network, which has mounted attacks on Americans, the Obama administration is now relying on the same intelligence service to help organize and kick-start reconciliation talks aimed at ending the war in Afghanistan.

How much can the 99 percent squeeze out of the 1?

In 2007 to 1.3 trillion in 2009.

2008 The bottom 75 percent of all taxpayers in any household with an adjusted gross income under $66,193, had a total of $2.75 trillion in income.

People earning more pay a larger share of the tax burden.

2009 was a bum year for those in the top 1 percent.

In 2008-2009 income pulled in a total of 1.3 trillion.

I think people with more income shouldn't have to pay more. All because they work harder then others, doesn't mean they should have to pay more then others.

Bats have nealy wiped out in Virginia,West Virginia,Pennsylvania,New York and Vermont. Six species in those states have decreese of almost 90 percent. The cause of this disease is a fungus called Geomyces destructans. The scientists belive they have a tretment that could slow down the process,but it might be to late for some bats in the Northeast. Two species could become extinct. In 2009 scientist declared that over 1 million bats had died over the past 3 years.

In Akron Oh, a pizza delivery man got robbed on Gale St. Friday night at about 8:30pm.The driver said that three man approached him from behind, struck him in the back of the head and demanded money. When he dropped three pizzas on the ground, one of the suspects grabbed the food and ran.While the others kept fighting him.
I think that people need to stop robbing people and get a job and get there own money because when that money gone what money you gone have what you gone do rob somebody again and get caught and go to jail or do you want to get a job?
