In 2012 when the Democrats retake the House, should we tax the rich?

Question by : In 2012 when the Democrats retake the House, should we tax the rich?
We Say Enough is Enough!
End the Bush-era tax giveaways to banks, corporations and wealthy individuals.
Close corporate tax loopholes, especially billions in tax subsidies for the oil companies.
Raise new revenues by restoring 70% tax rate on incomes over $ 1 million.
Raise $ 150 billion a year by imposing a financial transaction tax on Wall Street speculation.
Cut the military budget by half. Bring troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Create jobs in a major public works program to repair our nation’s infrastructure and to make our nation number one in “green industry.” Target the jobs to hard-hit inner city communities and the rural poor.
Fully fund a national health care program and drastically increase federal aid to education, Pell Grants, and other vital human needs programs.
Remove the cap on the Social Security payroll tax, so that CEOs and hedge fund managers pay the same rate as the rest of us.

lol you’re funny.. There has only been three or four times in the history of America where the House has changed from a Republican majority to a Democrat majority….. it coincidentally seems to happen when the generation dies out, the generation that remembers what happens when democrats are in charge…

HGTV Green Home Giveaway!?

Question by gossip_palms: HGTV Green Home Giveaway!?
My mom is a little hopeful about winning the contest. I know its like one in a billion, but I have to stay positive for her. I have a couple of questions. Do you think you can add 2-3 more bedrooms or a bath or two if you win, coming from your own money? Is there enough land to do so? See, well we have a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, half an acre lot, now in metro ATL… So it wouldn’t be big enough, but hey its a free house. So, we were thinking if we win, we can make it like a summer home or add some bedrooms, sell our house, and go live in SC. We are probably not that far away… Which one do you think is a better idea if we win? How is the area around there? I’m an Native Floridian so I don’t know much about the area? How are the schools? Is Hardeeville by the beach, and do they get hurricanes? Any feedback is fine. Thanks, good luck everyone!

I hope you are kidding.

It’s called the GREEN house, not ‘use-more -energy- because -we- are- adding- more- rooms’ house. If you win, and you use it like a summer home… again, you are still using too much energy for having two houses. Does your family NEED two houses? Does anyone? No, I really don’t think so.
This is probably towards the top of the list on being hypocritical and selfish. You don’t care about being green, you care about winning a house.

Get clear plastic, 6 mil at a builder’s supply. It costs about $ 30. a hundred foot roll and will be enough to cover a small greenhouse with a double thickness that will last a couple of years. It is what I use on mine.

The little House in the Map of Scott Pilgrim The Game?

Question by Rabbit: The little House in the Map of Scott Pilgrim The Game?
I Have Beaten the game, and used the sound test unlock code to unlock the sound test.

I also know that the purple house to the right we can gain access to through the forest in stage 6.

But there is something that I am curious about. If you look near stage one on the bottom of the map there is a green house, is there any way to access that place?

How do green house gases absorb and then re-radiate heat back to the earths surface?

Question by : How do green house gases absorb and then re-radiate heat back to the earths surface?
Ok I know that green house gases retain some of the outgoing infrared radiation, but my question is how? On a sub-atomic scale, how does everything interact?
Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Paul B
This is actually quite a complicated question.

Greenhouse gases absorb energy from the outgoing infrared radiation. This happens fairly close to the ground. Then they re-radiate it to the gas higher up, and so on. At each stage, part of the radiation goes to heat the gas. The amount of radiation that each layer passes on depends on its temperature. The total amount of radiation eventually emitted depends on the temperature near the top of the atmosphere.

The more you have of a greenhouse gas, the higher up in the atmosphere the final emitting layer is. And since the higher you get, the colder, more greenhouse gas means a colder final emitting layer, and less energy lost to space.

This certainly makes the world much warmer than it otherwise would be, and informed scientific opinion is that with more than 90% certainty, anthropogenic greenhouse gases are contributing to increased warming at an unprecedented rate.

Tiger Oscar and Green Terror compatible?

Question by dddn623: Tiger Oscar and Green Terror compatible?
Hi, I currently have a single Tiger Oscar in my 55 gallon tank. He is about 3.5 inches right now and I was wondering if it is okay for to house him with a Green Terror?

The Green Terror that I saw at my Local Fish Store is about the same size as he is and I am pretty sure they’ll have their little scuffle but I was hoping it would subside and both would learn to live and share space.

So do you guys think it is okay for me to have both of them together or is my tank way too small for that to happen?

I would also like to ask about my Oscar’s diet. I want to feed him with the best nutritional value possible. I right now feed him 2 times a day with about a 12 hour gap in between feeding times. I sometimes drop a few freeze-dried bloodworms once a day for a small snack.

The food in which I feed him are:
Hikari Cichlid Gold (Main diet)
Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellet (I break it up and feed him a couple of pellets a day)
Hikari Mega Tropical Frozen Treats (I feed this to him once every other day)
Freeze Dried Bloodworms (Small snack during the noontime)
Tetramin Tropical Flakes (I feed this to him only once in a while)

I also plan to feed him some small cut up market shrimp soon. Maybe give it to him once or twice a week.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

They can live together but you’l need a much larger tank. Probably more like one hundred gallons.
