--- Quote from: Real American on December 21, 2005, 03:02:07 PM ---I agree with that quote. If you want evidence, look at the strength of the US economy compared to those of the high tax, socialist countries like Canada and in Europe.

LMAO... you really are an idiot, aren't you?
You attribute the strength of the U.S. economy to our "low taxes"?
I hope you realize that the quote actually criticizes the U.S. government's policy on taxation.

Okay, let's discuss.
Trauma, I know your conservative and pro-war and pro-Bush, so I hope you realize that it is a documented and proven fact that the large chunk of our taxes isn't going to what Reagan termed "wellfare queens" but rather it is going towards our inflated military budget that has formented a US military presence in 100 countries around the world and is currently engaged in various covert and overt war activities throughout the world.
So my question to you is if you really want to reduce the taxes then your asking America to drastically decrease the size of it's military. Are you okay with that? And if so, then why do you continually support all of America's military interventions? Do you not see your blatant hypocrisy and/or ignorance?

I would have to argue that Canada is not a socialist country, more of a Tory-paternalistic society. We've actually been undoing the welfare state and our unemployment is at a 30-year low.

that dudes a biter... its a Sir Winston Churchill quote.. the full quote goes..
"It is the theory of the protectionist that imports are evil ... we free-traders say it is not true. To think that you can make a man richer by putting on a tax is like a man thinking that he can stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle."
--- End quote ---
Actually it's my bad... he's a financial talk show host I listen to, and a listener emailed him the quote with no attribution... I thought it was good so I just attributed it to Dave. Winston Churchill was a gangster too though.
