    Told my friends to keep an eye and ear out for me for new job. One friend said, well one of my company underwriters told me they are looking for someone; “We want someone younger.” So how many older people did they interview just for show until the picked their person, that special someone younger.

    If you are interviewing for a job and the HR person asks you, do you have any questions, ask: “Yes! When is the last time your company hired someone over 50?”

    Whoa, wait a minute. I’m a liberal? Are you sure? I’ve been trying to figure out which for many years now, based on the following observations I’ve made in my adult lifetime:

    Many liberal ideas are dumb.
    Many conservative ideas are good.
    Many liberals are good people.
    Many conservatives are dumb people.

    I am both a good person and not dumb, so I’m not sure which category is appropriate. The last election didn’t help, because I voted based on the merits and positions of the individuals and not based on party affiliations. I guess I’m kind of weird that way.

    One thing I’m sure of: you’re a fool if you think that one party is less power hungry than another. It is not possible for powerful people to want less power. It even says so in the Bible.

    I’m a gray hair, but any company should be allowed to discriminate against anyone. Why? Because they’ll fail to hire productive workers and lose to their competitors.

    Doesn’t MORE experience make you a BETTER underwriter (in this case, I’m assuming age—>experience)?

    You’re right, Youngin’. I agree that both parties want power and the Republicans didn’t comport well themselve when they held the power.

    All the more reason for term limits. The problem with term limits is that it gives to the bureacrats more power. So, all the more reason to get rid of many gov’t agencies, regulations, and rules and have term limits.

    Military, fire, police, & roads and bridges should be the extent of gov’t action. Not even parks should be run by the gov’t.

    Lets vote all these idiots out of office. Just wait until you see what your tax rate is next year?

    Remember we were promised 95% of us will get a tax break! Read Obama’s lips.

    “Remember we were promised 95% of us will get a tax break! Read Obama’s lips.”
    What has this comment to do with the article’s substance?

    Now with N. Pelosi and Charlie (I’ve got a deal for you) Rangel floating Value Added Tax, it means 100% of us will get a tax increase. But it’s only due to the fact that we misunderstood what Obuttheadama meant when he said 95% of us would receive a tax reduction.

    What idiots believe that 5% of the population can finance 90% of gov’t? Oh, about 50-some-million idiots.

    Be careful what you wish for, because you might get (more like got) it.
