Lincoln:
It's not surprising, politics is a dirty game. Why are people getting shocked at this?

Feel free to browse my other post that lists republicans that support Kerry. 

I dont give a fuck about Republicans that support Kerry.


--- Quote ---And either way, I never said McCain supports Kerry.  I said McCain criticized the lastest tax break.  You may want to read the article I posted that also.

Who gives a fuck if McCain criticized the last tax break.
Why did you even mention that ???


--- End quote ---

I mentioned it because, in case you don't realize, Bush is running around a 500 billion deficit annually.  He just decided to add another 140 Billion to that number. 

I'll quote myself again:

"I think it is negative to manipulate people all across the country, who wish to see american prosperity continue, into supporting an Administration that will sacrifice our prosperity for their power."

The McCain quote further elaborated on my own personal statement.  That being, GWB is stealing your vote and using it to push policies that sacrifice our continued prosperity.  Deficits hurt our economy, cause inflation, cause dollar devaluation, and encourage interest rates to rise.  You might not give a fuck about the deficit, but its not play money we're talking about, your talking about a 150 billion real dollars that are being given away to "special interests" in John McCain's opinion.  You can read the full article and get a better idea. 

Trauma-san:
Tax cuts are nothing but good, I don't care who gets the tax cut.  Cut Cut Cut Cut Cut Cut Cut.  If he wanted to sign a 10 trillion dollar tax cut, I'd support it.  Simple: It's our money, they take too much. 

Ant:
That was a really informed idea.  Do you understand that we are running a deficit? 

You're right there is nothing wrong with responsible tax cuts.  Your president is giving tax cuts and simultaneously raising spending.  It makes no sense.

Taxes cost money, but so do deficits.  Just because the deficit isn't deducted from your paycheck at the end of every week doesn't mean its a nonissue. 

Do you understand that the more debt you incur the more stress you place on the American economy.  The goverment pays interests on its debt.  By driving the deficit up, you require the government to make higher interest payments every year.  The less finiancially stable your economy is the higher the interest rate on our debt. 

You are so proud to be an American but your showing a complete lack of respect for the benefits it provides you.  Yes the government is not perfectly efficient, but lets face it, George Bush isnt exactly improving its efficiency.  But overall I am proud to pay my taxes and you should be too.  I don't mind paying taxes because they support a number of valued benefits for example:

1. Taxes pay for our military
2. Taxes pay for our public school system
3. Taxes pay for our police and fire departments.
4. Taxes pay for the CIA, FBI, and the court system
5. Taxes help sustain our government.

and on and on. 

You seemingly want something for nothing.  I don't mind reducing spending and cutting taxes, but they can only be cut so much.  Its unpatriotic to not want to pay your taxes for obvious reason.  And the fact is... the more you reduce taxes and increase the deficit the more your actually losing.  Oddly enough, we would all be more prosperous with a balanced budget and higher taxes.  Or with lower taxes, and less government spending.  But George W. gave us the worst outcome.  Lower taxes, and higher spending.

Your all so scared of the threat of terrorism.  You should be.  Pretty soon its going to become increasingly more difficult to fight the war on terror when you don't have the funds to do so, and when your economy is slowly weakening.  Osama Bin Laden said to beat the Americans you only have to beat their economy.  Well George W. is helping him do it.
