First Stimulus, Now "Deficit Reduction".

[DawnCt1]

China and Russia were communists states not socialist states.

Socialism is "communism light".

Why can't government create wealth?????

Wow! That requires a double!

 

[big kahuna1]

The same tax rates were in place in the 90's and things were going pretty good back then.

Somehow I don't think raising the tax rate a few % is going to kill any golden geese.

Holy Cow! That requires a triple!

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

I have never in my life hated paying taxes as much as I do now. NEVER.

See now, for me it was during the Bush administration. But, hey! Too each their own...

 

[SteveInBrooklyn]

Wow! That requires a double!

Can you answer the question, though?

 

[big kahuna1]

Yes I can. Simply put, it is not the job of the Gubbament to provide wealth. Especially with my money.

 

[corndog]

Nothing nonsequitur about it... I just want to determine if the current Republican talking point is that Afghanistan had no involvement in 9/11 or if that is just your opinion.?

Not being a Republican, I am not privy to their talking points. Nor have I polled Republicans on their views regarding Afghanistan and 9/11.

So... are you also 1 of the 20% that still believe Iraq was involved in 9/11?

Have I ever made any kind of statement to suggest Iraq was involved in 9/11 or that I believe such to be the case?


You keep quoting me, but your statements are based on things I haven't said.

So the government CAN create wealth. But you'd rather it didn't.

I wouldn't care who was in office - who likes paying taxes. It's something that WE ALL have to do. You work - you pay taxes. You really don't even have to work, if you WIN something you pay taxes on that too. That's living in America - well that's living ANYWHERE. This whole thread got me thinking, what country has the least % of taxes paid by the people?

Not a republican? Ok you can call it what you want. You're opinions put you about at the same political spectrum as Rush... in fact I hear a lot of Rush's talking points coming out of your mouth.

But you can call yourself whatever you want.

Have I ever made any kind of statement to suggest Iraq was involved in 9/11 or that I believe such to be the case?

That's why I asked. And you didn't answer.

Since you don't believe al qaeda and Bin Laden were based in Afghanistan and that the taliban supplied/supported and hid Bin Laden after 9/11 then it was a valid assumption that you believe Iraq was involved instead.

Like what?

Limbaugh is entirely too far to the left for my tastes.

Since you don't believe al qaeda and Bin Laden were based in Afghanistan

There you go again. I never said anything like that. Timothy McVeigh was based in the United States. Do you think the United States was involved in the OKC bombing?

No. I do not believe that Iraq was involved in and/or supported (in advance, that is) 9/11. Clear enough for you?

OK

Explain for me a mixed economy?

Mixed economy. Does that have vodka or gin?

 

[dcentity2000]

An extreme of any political spoke - be it Anarchy, Communism or Fascism, or a mixed extreme, is never a good thing. Ideally we should take the good from each ideal and reject the bad.

Only if you are a Politician and you reach into my pockets. That is not creating, that is stealing.

 

[mefordis]

(Tag Fairy, can you make this my tag please?)

Your taxes are going to bail out the banks as well. Are you unhappy about that, too? Just curious.

The government cannot create wealth. We've been over this a million times already.

 

[ntsammy5]

The government cannot create wealth. We've been over this a million times already.

Only in the sense that they print money which then becomes worthless.......

Why not?????
