Man the political rhetoric is infinitely amusing, conservatives blaming liberals. Liberals blaming conservatives. All while the gap between rich and poor has been growing throughout the years as the House, Congress, and the White house changed hand back and forth back and forth.

It is like a dance with a two step pattern that most people dont seem to be aware of. Until there is a push for serious change to benefit the majority rather than the few things will keep getting worse.

Trickle down effect my ass.

Catherine, since I voted for McCain/Palin, I am NOT the reason “we” lost the last election. And yep, the “Uber Moron” is already in the White House.

Someone is under the delusion that the recession was stopped in 6 months by Mr. Moron. Oh, really, TnGelding? It hasn’t stopped.

Moron? He and the fed stopped Duhbya’s recession in 6 short months. How about a little credit where credit is due? You can bet it won’t be in the third year of his first term before the economy starts adding jobs like it did under the Debtors-in-Chief, Reagan and Bush. And don’t try to blame the emergency actions taken on Obama. They rest with Bush, plain and simple. Can you say fuzzy math and risky schemes?

Hang ‘em high! Seriously, if the tax code was rigidly adhered to there would be no deficit. Much of the deficit could be eliminated, too, by adopting a simpler tax code that wouldn’t cost so much time and money to comply with.

Catherine,

We can not evict the Moron in Chief until 2012. 2010 is just the opening shot.

BTW, in addition, the more you tax the rich (look at John Kerry and the Kennedy Clan), the more creative ways will be found to lessen the tax burden – especially when businesses are involved.

Basically Cynthia, you’re so ignorant!

The “rich” pay more in dollars and percent of income.

The tax system is so far out of whack, that a flat tax (as we have in Georgia or so it seems) would be infinitively better all around. In practice it would have to be a combination of the fair and flat tax. Got to cover everyone.

HOWEVER, if we went to a Direct tax as described in Article I of the constitution, we would be in even better shape.

But, then again, it would mean Congress would have to give up some power – only being able to tax the States and not the people.

“Well, that lit a match under ‘em!”

With all the wet-gaseous exchanges on this blog, Cynthia, please dont be so reckless with matches.

With the over-sensitive trolls taking offense every time a logical flaw in their argument is exposed, it’s hard enough to clear the air around here without you lighting matches every time we log on.

Jklol

Flame on!

Betsy,
You are an embarrassment to conservatives and the reason we lost the last election. Keep it up and you’ll get what you ask for: an Uber Moron in the White house in 2010. Maybe Palin can choose you for her running mate.
