Look back at the original post that started this thread and you will see this basis of the Liberal platform in America today: misunderstood. misintrepreted facts that degenerate to the true "I hate Bush Agenda". As bad as he may be he is better than anything they have had to offer (according to the electoral process).

And I should add "misrepresented" facts (to put it nicely).

Hate to break it to you bub, but it is a trait we libs have.. its called independant thought. You should try it sometime.

Staying the course is dandy, but when the wind shifts, and the tide changes, the ship will surely run aground

What pray tell narcotics are you on boy?

I didn't even know there was a "liberal platform" to be honest. Are the liberals running for something?

Certainly there are liberal ideals and the vast majority of self described Conservatives I know even admit to holding a few.

The attack on Bush isn't about the man, it's about the arrogant and incompetent policy. Always has been...and it's gotten so bad that even his own people are turning en masse.

A bag of rotten carrots could manage this country better than the current crew in the Oval Office. And you think they got there by accurately representing the facts and issues?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA :tooth: :doh: :beat: :rotf2: :rotf2: :rotf3: :rotf3:

Supporting the President of our country during a war, shame on me. Are you talking about the 9 trillion $ that every "baby, homeless, poor, single moms/dads", are required to pay for the war on terror by those vile Republicans? Or was that one of those Liberal "untruths" when stated by a Republican is called a "Lie"?

Please note I haven't resorted resorted to calling anyone an "idiot" for disagreeing with my point of view.

Well maybe if you had nominated a candidate that at least matched the standard of a rotten bag of carrots you could control the House and Senate and Whitehouse and advance the Liberal Agenda that you dont think exists. Want to change the country? Win an election. Whining is not an effective politcal strategy.

I am sorry but this has been going on for the last 230yrs. and it goes like this rich white men tring to not pay there taxes and making the poor and middle class pay it all for them. or we would have health care and money to retire on they take take and then take some more. supporting anyone who is as arrogant as Bush is just wrong to me. and he smiles while he is sticking it in the behind of all of us. believe me if he could he would have us all pay for his war and we will be for years to come.

You do realize the rich pay most of the taxes in this country right? You have no clue what you are talking about. Sounds like you've been smoking to much dope at those war protests this weekend :smokin:

stripersnipr 03-19-2006 07:13 PM

Are you aware that 80% of all Taxes paid in America are paid by the 20% of those in the highest income bracket in America?

Slipknot 03-19-2006 07:14 PM

very soon there will be no more middle class
then watch the rich tax loophole fatcats squirm when there are no more middleclass taxpayers left.

tattoobob 03-19-2006 07:15 PM

The rich are a minority and beleave me they get the most tax cuts, I know I don't get any and pay more per thousand then they do, so sorry skip maybe you should get your facts straight

This is the fact. 80% of all income tax is paid by 20% of the population. That 20% are those "rich" people you apparently detest. Dont beleive it? Google it.

ya know why they get more back in tax cuts than you and I? Because they make more freakin money than we do! Wow there's a shocker, the more you make the more you will get back. Who would have thought...

tattoobob 03-19-2006 07:22 PM

I don't detest anyone, I think we should all pay the same tax rate, it is a fact that we pay more of our weekly check than they do, if I have to pay over a third of my pay check then they should to. guess what they don't.

Wow..........How Democratic. I guess the other alternative is to punish those who have succeded by making them pay a greater percentage of their earnings in income tax (which they already do). Kind of reminds me of..........whats that word....... 9 letters begins with a C and ends with an s........

Kerry's problem wasn't a lack of substance, it was an inability to counter all the slime being thrown from the GOP. I know many Conservative Bush voters who thought Kerry probably would have made a very competent President.

I am admitting I am wrong but if you think paying 2 % more than the middle class is getting F*cked then I want to make what you are making

Its alot more than 2%.... But even if it was a 2% differance its still not fair! Why should americans be punished for being successful and making money? That's what happens, the more you make the more the govermetn takes from you. Its BS

spence 03-19-2006 08:21 PM

Without a progressive tax system I don't think there would be a middle class...

I'm breaking my New Year's resolution and getting involved in a political/religious discussion.

You want to solve "class warfare"when it comes to income tax? Institute a flat tax rate.

10% of nothing is nothing.10% of a 1 million is a 1 hundredthousand.Everybody is on a level playing field and no one can point fingers.

Regardless of what you feel and/or believe if you argue against a flat tax rate you have an agenda.

Works for me. I've always like the idea of a flat tax. No matter how much or little you make you are taxed the same. Its fair and you dont get penalized for being succesful. Plus is will force the government to spend our money wisely. And yes that includes W :hee:

"uffah!!" 03-20-2006 10:06 AM

The reason so many people like the fixed tax rate is because they are all on the bottom of the toetem pole. If you all were making that 150-200 thousand per year,you'll like it just the way it is. I'm retired with a fixed income, and pay just like the rest.

More tax info....State & local taxes hit poor & middle class far harder than wealthy
