Fair Tax

[Othello Harrington]

Do you like the fire department? Do you like your police officers? Do you like public schools? Taxes do a metric shit ton of good, if you can't/don't/won't see that then whatever, life isn't about me me me, although conservative Republicans think it is.

Truth be told, if I made a 150k/year I wouldn't mind being in a high tax brackette, I'd still take home ass loads more money than most people.

Marxist, do you think my tax money goes to the fucking fire department? How do we know? they don't tell us how it's used.

You want ME to burden YOUR load because I have done well, then tell me WHERE my MONEY is GOING.

Liberals seem to think that throwing money at a problem fixes it, I would think that our Education system would be proof that this is not true. So, again, tell me why I should support another tax increase.

It really is disturbing how socialist and contrary the Democratic party has become. Here in CT the Democratic encumbent is getting thrown under the bus by his own party in favor of a guy that promises to impose socialized health care and uses terms like "Bushite". When Bush is out of office in 2008 I think many Democrats will die of broken hearts, like Sam Jackson in Unbreakable if he never found Bruce Willis.

especially when Mccain wins by a landslide because half of these never own shit liberals don't vote.

Don't mess with me when I've been drinking, I get angry, so sorry in advance if I hurt anyone's feelings (except gozen)

Here's a hint, don't post in political debates to "me to" you look stupid. Come with an informed position and I'll listen.

Hopefully either McCain or Giulianni will get the nod; sending up McCain would truly neuter the socialist propaganda machine on the left though. The guy adopted a Bangladeshi baby, gg.

[Othello Harrington]

McCain is much stronger than you think. He won't tolerate socialism reforms, trust me.

BTW Reagan and Nixon, all day.

That's no different than how the Republicans spring an erection every time they hear the name Clinton.

I'm still trying to understand how we're better off now than we were before, and I find it funny to see Republicans still proudly waving the standard, even as the president's approval rating tanks and their future control of Congress is looking bleaker each day.

Bottom line, if you vote new wave democrap, you vote socialism, you vote socialism, you lose your individuality. Period.

This is without a doubt the WEAKEST slippery slope argument that's ever been presented on TNL. Truly, SpoDaddy's joke account is almost as constipated in his thinking as the original.

McCain had his chance, but he decided to drop to his knees and worship at the throne of Bush back when he thought that brand of politics was going to reign supreme for atleast another decade. Surprise, Johnny boy, you backed the wrong horse. His appearance at Liberty University was really the death kneel for his '08 presidential chance, much like the Schivo affair was Frist's.

BTW Reagan and Nixon, all day.

Which is it? Reagan or Nixon? Those two are about as far apart ideologically as Republicans get. Both of them supported policies that people like SpoDaddy (and thus you) would cringe at; Nixon supported detente with the Soviets and Reagan gave immigrants blanket amnesty. Nixon also favored gun control and created both the EPA and OSHA.

You know, for such a diehard conservative you don't really seem to know too much about these people you idolize. Well, other than the fact that they had a little 'R' next to their name.

Actually, the federal budget is a matter of public record.

You can look in financial reports (usually called Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports or CAFR) and various other documents to find out where most of your tax dollars are going.

Just because I recognize the need/benefit of taxes doesn't make me communist.

It's easy to prove that money has been spent unwisely, but that doesn't convince me that we should simply cut funding entirely. I would think the Defense budget, which is notoriously full of bloat and corruption, would be more than adequate proof of something that increases exponentially yet shows repeatedly that the money has been in many places wasted.

So, again, tell me why my taxes should go to Halliburton and Boeing's C.E.Os?

Most of the conservatives (especially the super conservatives) are rarely well read/thought out people.
