    No it is because Republicans want to enslave the negroes.

    The Republicans own the debt which is why they keep running it up.

    It was the GOP that Humphrey went to when the democrats were filibustering the civil rights act of 1964.

    It is democrats that hate the blacks

    Is this forum fight going. Lets get back on the main subject.


    Granted there are congressmen and women who are millionaires, I'm more than willing to tax them heavily. We need to end NAFTA/Tax Cuts from LBJ and start producing again to have a trade surplus. Once the economy is healthy again, we can talk about tax cuts. But the economy is very very very sick. We need to use our creative innovation and bring a Middle Class back again.

    Agreed. But the problem is we have **********s stamping their feet defending those poor millionaires and billionaires claiming they will somehow go broke if we raise taxes by a couple %. Instead they want to make the poor poorer by abolishing labor laws, cutting the min wage, cutting every single welfare program and raising the poors taxes. While at the same time ensuring that the rich never have to share the burden. After all the how can a rich man live in only 20 million a year instead of 50?

    They want spending cuts and Obama to stop spending. A few billion in the debt ceiling will do nothing

    2 years Obama and the democrats had a super majority and they refused to pass a budget.

    All we heard is it is Bush's fault. Now after 8 months of a GOP majority in the house it is the few Tea party members fault.

    You do not see how petty and stupid this kind of talking points are?

    Now and then, we all need a raise to increase our budget to keep up with rising costs, but not every time we squander money is the time to ask for a raise.

    When you say things like this, it actually makes people like me look bad because it makes it seem like we just want to plunder from anyone and everyone that has wealth. Which is an absurd bastardization of what people like me want.

    I want EVERYONE to be SELF-RELIANT and INDEPENDENT, is what I want. What I DON'T want, is all the resources necessary for doing so, being bottled up in the top few percent of "rich" people.

    The truth is that independence not only requires competency and determination, it requires resources. If you have a greedy, hoarding top few percent of "wealthy" people essentially sucking all the resources from our planet at the expense of everyone else, that makes it so that even people who are determined and intelligent have to either starve or barely survive due to paucity of available resources.

    Obviously this post was to someone else, but please look at my previous post. Certainly you're intelligent enough to see the reason and truth behind my simple point.

    I don't know if the Purpose of Taxes is to Raise Revenue or Punish the Rich, but I know one tax that is designed to punish everyone.

    There is no limit to wealth. The idea of resources being "bottled up" is ridiculous.

    Dear lord, you're not this ignorant are you?

    What you ideological machines REFUSE to do, is look at the real world and be PRACTICAL about it.

    There are many, many gallons of oil and many, many pounds of valuable metals, and many millions of acres of land, etc. etc. etc., on our planet.

    What there is not, is an infinity of real resources on Earth.

    The reality is that resources are LIMITED. They are SCARCE. And if we let them get bottled up and controlled by the few, then it'll be a system where the minority control the majority.
