A few years ago, I heard an interview with a local guy who owns a business turning around bizjets at the St. Paul airport. He described talking to someone about a corporate jet that had come in, and the person he was talking to said something along the lines of “Those private jets are immoral. Do you know how many people could be fed with that kind of money?”.

His response was “Well, it’s at least twelve, because that’s how many people I employ to maintain them”.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder how well this kind of talk plays in Wichita (the home of Cessna)?

is the ridiculous notion that ownership of a bizjet is stealing from those who have absolutely NOTHING to do with them beyond six degrees of separation. People employed in the aviation field designed and built them; many who service them around the country either paid for their training, or got it from the military and are now employed vets!

It is just plane (pun intended) stupid to think that a bizjet is maintained on the backs of the poor, ad Rev. Al so often notes.

Who does he think is paying for all his trips, anyway?

Gulfstream and the other BizJet builders are NOT UNIONIZED and therefor are less likely to even VOTE for O let alone contribute to his sophistry driven campaign?

for every time he told a lie, it would have to be ordered in 100 foot rolls.

By the pallet.

. . .that nothing Good in the world happens that is not at the expense of someone else. It is a European attitude which developed during a pre-Industrial Revolution period where it was to no small extent, in fact, true. But our faux Aristocratic leader has never moved beyond the 19th century, much less the 20th or 21st.

The Drudge Report has been linking stories of urban youth gang criminal activity on a pretty consistent basis the last few weeks. Watch for an increase in the “civil” disobedience as Nov 2012 approaches.
After all, what else could the “investment” in all these Ameri-corpse radicals be worth? The Moran team has planned ahead beyond Hopie /Changie

1) Obama “weighed in” on Boeing-NLRB by saying that it’s really important to support the American aviation industry

2) Pelosi passed the jet depreciation break in question and Obama signed it as economic stimulus. This would seem to support the Republican claim that we can’t raise taxes without hurting the economy

3) Obama claims the economy is his #1 issue.

4) Republicans want to poison kids instead of repealing an Obama initiative. Despite the fact that no Republican is calling for cuts to food safety inspections. Note all the uses of the word “might” in Obama’s screed – Next week’s statement will be that voting for the GOP might cause cancer.

Class warfare, Bourgeois and Proletarians, this includes attacks on inheritance, the death tax as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, a heavy progressive taxation as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, we now have Government Motors and such as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, Government Unions as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, wealth redistribution as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto, moved toward removing education from the states and nationalizing education as prescribed in the Communist Manifesto and so much more. There must never be compromise, bipartisanship or whatever in moving toward Communism, we should be moving away. However how many on this side seem not realize where this leads, how could they sell us out like that?

Strange how BHO and Mrs. BHO who have abused the use of the ultimate corporate jet (Air Force 1) for personal and political travel, has a problem with privately owned,maintained, and funded BUSINESS aircraft.

If you voted for Candidate Maxwell Smart. I’m somewhat gob-smacked. When I learned later that this tax break came straight out of the Obama Stimulus, I was overwhelmed by the audacity of dumb.

Just curious. I mean, he does so much golfing and my guess is it not just a recent hobby.

Sure it’s perfectly acceptable under the IRS rules and Publication 463 explains if it is directly or associated with business it qualifies.

So if Obama did take this or a similar deduction- isn’t he responsible, in his words for

“ask(ing) our seniors to pay more for health care, before we cut our children’s education, before we sacrifice our commitment to the research and innovation that will help create more jobs in the economy”

Because his tax deduction killed grandma, made a kid illiterate or cost someone a job?

Honestly, will Obama ever stop trying to divide this nation with his self-serving mendacity?
