yes i feel a new rising of republiTMND!!!

Bah, Republican's are just as big of spenders, if not more so. All the money we wasted in Iraq means that someone will eventually have to foot the bill.

+5

I love it how ignorant people love "Ron Paul" and hate taxes... BTW I hate taxes as well because I make A LOT of money, however our country has spent huge sums of money in Iraq and we have no money going into the government to pay for it so our next president "ie-OBAMA" will have to clean up Bush's mess. Hopefully more educated people will actually outnumber idiotic voters this year...

The republican party is meaningless, they have diluted everything they stood for. But conservatism remains true. Here's something that'll be news to idiots like vin here: tax cuts raise gov. revenue. Since the 2003 tax cuts, gov. revenue has INCREASED BY $785 BILLION! No money going into gov? BS! BTW vin, nothing is stopping "educated" voters like you from giving more than you're required back to the gov. Feel free to write a check to the treasury. Just don't force us to jump off the cliff with you.

-3

Well I consider myself fiscally conservative and socially liberal... But if anyone thinks that 100 years in Iraq is a smart financial decision they deserve to die.

Lets not forget Edwards. Seriously, their healthcare proposals alone.

Edwards has no chance to win though, so it isn't really important what he thinks, lol

5 cause I hate that cvnt with the heat of a thousand suns

http://ivoted4nader.ytmnd.com/ I HATE EVERYONE.

...yeah, who needs taxes when you can just pile another couple trillion on to the national deficit!!!

+1

cut spending on entitlement programs, don't steal my money by raising taxes

-2

it's the 'debt' not the 'deficit' BTW

lol

Who needs money when the government can decide how to spend it for you? Money doesn't belong to individuals it belongs to the State, isn't that right you Socialist sheep?

-2 [show comment][hide comment]

Because 5% of the population controlling 75% of the money is always a good thing, right? Under a socialist system the people who would be -most hurt- isn't going to be the 'average american'. Do you have any idea how much -good- health insurance costs? Most companies AREN'T giving benefits anymore... State and Federal employees get them though! If Universal Healthcare IS implemented, the upped taxes will be balanced out by the fact that you're NOT going to be paying for a lot of other services.

Great idea Eldred! Instead of enriching the nation so that everyone's wealthier let's just make the poor entirely dependent on rich people's money and government intervention! How could the poor possibly survive without sucking the government's tits? Supporting the poor's lavish lifestyle of recreational drug use, gang violence, and unemployment requires government aid!

-3

Oh, listen to it wail about how good the poor have it compared to him. Poor deprived baby.

-1

If anyone's the baby it's the people who expect the government to take care of all their needs. Grow up and take care of yourself, the government isn't your mom and it shouldn't have to be.

-2

Didn't you fools learn that you were supposed to become financially independent when you left your parents' house? It doesn't look like it. Now how about you go take a quarter from some evil buisnessman and buy yourself a lollipop so you'll finally shut your mouth.

Listen to the teenager talk about life outside their parents' house. This gets better and better! Keep going, kid.

-1

"A tiger does not take insults from sheep" - that's a proverb which you should think about. The Communist party in America is in no position to make demands of free individuals.

-2

Too bad you're the one in the minority, buddy. A majority of the people in this country support universal health care, social programs, and environmental regulations. Which is why I suspect you're so angry-you've read the writing on the wall and seen that your ideals are on the way out. But, by all means, continue with your tantrum. It's amusing.

-1

The only president in recent history that had a year of budget surpluses has been Bill Clinton, the prince of medicare. So lol @ you.

+5

My ideals won't die until I do, and I'm not going out without a fight. There are other Americans who want small government besides me. We will make a stand and you can't stop us. Will you ban axes? Will you ban knives? Will ban baseball bats? Will you ban the hands on my arms? You can't stop my resistance communists and I will bring you pain for treading on my freedom. The government doesn't own me.

-3

Get therapy.

+2

I'd rather be imprisoned than pay taxes to you. At least in jail the government has to pay to support me instead of me paying to support it. You can't get anything of mine, I'd rather die than give it to you.

-1

Have you made that psychiatrist appointment yet?

The desire for freedom and formation of capitalism are the natural ways people act. Communism is the mental disorder, and that's why Communist regimes need to kill so many people. The amount of death and suffering would actually be lower in the long run if all Communists were killed, because, as history has shown us, when that system gains power it kills and oppresses dissenters.

-2

I meant for your delusions that people are coming after you and for your insistence on projecting extremism onto everyone. That's not a healthy mental state.

+1

universal healthcare= communism. Taxes=Communism. Hillary=... well, not communism. Also, her beard is way too small. But seriously, none of these things are communism. Also, c*cks.

serious business according to Matthew38

Universal healthcare is great as long as you don't mind waiting weeks or months for a lot of things.

-2

...and as long as you don't mind sleeping on hospital beds in which the sheets are simply flipped over instead of changed. Right, England?

-2

It's true...

+2

lol

+2

...and who gives a sh*t if children starve by cutting "entitlement" programs. It is their own fault that they came out of the wrong vagina in the first place. Really man, get out of your desensitizing suburban house and take a look at poverty for what it is. BTW, I thought it has been described as both the debt and deficit?

-4

The poverty of the few is not an excuse to control the many.

-1

My financial freedom is more important than the life of the poor, the sick, the homeless, the hungry, or any other mass of people. Suffering doesn’t make someone important. If you disagree you can join all those starving children in the grave, thief.

-1

^It's easy to talk like that online, anonymously, Matthew. Go up to some working poor people and tell them their children deserve to go hungry so you can purchase a third house. See how quickly, and deservedly, you get beaten to death.

-3

Anyway, you f*cking brats would be singing a different tune if suddenly you or your parents suddenly lost your jobs and were at risk of losing your home and needed something to eat. But it would be different if it was you, right? You and your parents have worked hard all your lives, unlike all other poor people. You would DESERVE help. Change the f*cking record.

-1

What really blows me away is the fact that all these privileged brats, instead of dropping to their knees and weeping for having had the superlative good fortune to have been born into a situation where they had opportunities to succeed that so many people didn't, spend their time bitching about programs like WIC and deriding poor people for being stupid and/or lazy. Ooohh, the plight of the white male. *yawn*

-1

The problem with poor people in America these days isn't starvation you idiots, it's obesity. Capitalism creates prosperity, your system creates poverty. Of course that's good for you, because without keeping people poor you Socialists wouldn't get any votes.

-1

Shutup, douchebag, no one's buying your drivel.

-1

I take comfort knowing that sociopaths like you and maddog are a tiny minority in this country, and that your views will never sway and electorate. So go ahead and have your online tantrums-maybe you'll win over some teenagers who will never bother registering to vote.

-1

The irony of your Socialist thought process is that so many people died of starvation under Communism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward#Climate_conditions_and_famine

Blah blah blah, shutup, wanker.

Reality and Communism just don't mix it seems http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/Genocide/Ukraine_famine.htm

"It is their own fault that they came out of the wrong vagina in the first place." The only free service the government should provide for the poor is abortion. That would help solve the poverty cycle.

Can I rape your mother?

lol @ matthew38

I don't think communism is a good idea. But socialism does not equal communism no matter how many times that's repeated. The numerous democratic countries who employ universal healthcare as a means of providing it do not control the populace's every moves , or even their production of goods and services to any extent beyond the healthcare system as a general rule. At most, various basic services like some utilities and a few goods of special nature are monopolised. Also, this site is for fun, nothing else.

+1

Socialism means the public ownership of the means of production and distribution; that is Socialism and nothing else is Socialism

I am so glad to see that there are more and more true Americans nowadays. They are waking up to the nonsensical bureaucracy.

-1

Control the many? How so? If you really want to control the many (assuming that the concept of taxes equates to oppression), you can send out a good portion of your defense budget (which makes up half if not more of the federal budget) to a "security" contractor that has no accountability while it pays its mercenaries multiple times more than our men and women in uniform.

+1

...or you could always ban certain military protective hardware so certain non-bid contractors (that contribute to your political campaign) don't have to compete.

I agree. Not only should taxes be lowered, but this crazy, corrupt militarism needs to stop. If the last 5 or 6 nitwit presidents didn't feel that they should police the world using money that the country doesn't have, taxes could be WAY lower, and the federal debt would be microscopic by comparison.

Soldiers or police who work for the government aren't good and private military contractors aren't bad. Things aren't that simple you stupid Socialist sheep. Remember the SS? They were working for their government too. You should reserve your insults for the government that hires PMCs Socialist, because PMCs are just doing what the government pays them to do.

-2

The 25% of a minumum wage worker's 12k a year is going to be a bigger loss to him than 25% of someone's 250 million a year. And just because you're a hard worker doesn't mean you're going to be wealthy, that's an outright lie.

+3

Oversimplifying complex issues is fun.

+3

Tax is a simple issue. The government takes my money so they can spend and redistribute it as they see fit. Personally I don't like my money being taken away against my will to be used on programs I neither use nor agree with. Higher taxes are always bad for me.

-3

^It's funny because you're a minor and you don't even pay taxes. Anyway, I have no pity for the wealthy. They could, and should, be paying 75 percent of their incomes in taxes, and they'd still have more money than anyone on here will ever dare dream of.

-1

It's not your place to decide what other people should do cretin. You are not entitled to other people's money. Take away the self-righteousness and people like you are no different then robbers, pickpockets, and burglars.

-1

*sniffle* Poor wealthy people. They're being robbed. Now they can't send their kids to college or pay rent. Whatever will they do?

In a free economy some people have more money than other people. Deal with it or get the f*ck out. Communism's solution to everything is to take money away from the wealthy. Well eventually there's no wealthy people left to steal from and then all the Communist people suffer because their system never created any real wealth, it just kept drawing from the well of the rich. Using the rich people as a whipping boy isn't going to end poverty.

-1

You're right, brother. For too long have the tiny, oppressed minority of wealthy people been brutalized by the unwashed masses. It's time to END the tyranny of the majority, to stand up for the rights of the obscenely rich, and to check the masses' audacity to dare want to send their kids to college or have access to medical care. Rise up, wealthy brothers! Your hour is at hand.

Is that why you only sponsored this one for $4.55? Because all the rest of your money has been seized and given away to welfare queens? Poor baby.

"It's not your place to decide what other people should do cretin. You are not entitled to other people's money. Take away the self-righteousness and people like you are no different then robbers, pickpockets, and burglars." - Sure it is, if you're a voting citizen.

+2

If you want to be part of society, you need to pay taxes. Leave the country if you don't.

If you don't believe that society should follow its own constitution and bill of rights, then it is you who should leave. If the current crop of brats have a problem with those documents, then they should change them.

if i had to pay 75% of my income in taxes if i became wealthy, wtf did i even bother working to get wealthy?

-1

Progressive income taxes are straight from the Communist Manifesto. I am not exaggerating. I have a copy in my house.

The Socialists are starting to sound a lot like Christians. Jesus died because of your sins, be righteous and give us your money. The poor died because of your wealth, be liberal and give us your money. My wealth belongs to me not the Church, or the poor, or the government and it will stay that way until I decide to spend it on a legitimate service, which is something neither priests nor politicians provide for me.

-4

People so poor they're starving to death are in a minority even smaller than the 'obscenely rich' (I love that term btw, it succinctly captures the Socialist attitude that being wealthy is a sin). The vast majority of people in America have food to eat and shelters to stay in. The majority of people who starve to death in America die from Anorexia or Bulimia. The hard-working poor American who is also starving and homeless is a mythological creature dreamed up by socialist's in order to guilt-trip people.

-1

People working on minumum wage aren't starving. Most of htem have to work two jobs to make ends meat, and are living paycheck to paycheck. If they get sick or fired, they're going to end up homeless or dead.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4teq7aKTNJ4

Clearly you don't understand that there are people living in Poverty WHO WORK.

When did I say that? All I was pointing out was a view on homelessness. Take it or leave it.

...Don't most of those shelters run off taxes?

Go away, paulbot.

I like socialism

I'm sure you'll just LOOOOVE North Korea then.

9,000,000,000,000 dollars in debt. 42,000 dollars per american. Taxes are good, at least within the next decade. Once we're out of debt we can lower taxes. Now is /not/ the time.

+3

Out of all the military spending that goes on in the world, 53% of that comes from the US. Coming in second is the UK at 4% and China at 3%.

+1

if the taxes were actually going towards the debt i wouldn't mind ...

+2

the taxes don't go anywhere specifically. They go to a single account where appropriations bills take from that. The less appropriations that are passed/less money the administration uses, the more money going to debt. At least this is my understanding.

Caues you know whats better, to spend and spend without balancing the budget... f*cking retards... Whitehouse is going into foreclosure.

I concur. Good day sir!

-2

i hate politics

What you hate is thinking about serious issues.

-1

You don't want taxes? Fine. Then you don't get roads. Or libraries. Or public schools. Or a well-funded military. Or mail. Or any of the other stuff the government pays for that you take for granted. Do have fun with that.

+2

The site is complaining about tax INCREASES, not taxes in general, dumbass.

That's funny, because you and Matthew seem to be complaining about taxes in general. Tax increases go along with why we need taxes to begin with. It's a part of life in America, sometimes it's necessary. Get used to it.

+2

1. I did not make this site. So it's not my message. 2. The tax increases would only be necessary because of the extremely wasteful spending that the president and congress failed to get rid of. 3. Your original statement is entirely incorrect, as well as your second.

i thought it was more about what the taxes are spent on, not how much i pay
