    I can't begin to fathom what it's like to live in your make believe world. Is there some secret liberal brainwashing facility we aren't aware of????

    Stupid propaganda tricks with dates? You mean truth and facts are propaganda in your mind?

    Lol....

    So what. It still wasn't paid for. On top of that, they still share a measure of the blame for the loss of revenues from millions of jobs lost, as well as a share of the cost for the increase in food stamps, SSI, SSD, and unemployment compensation. Dems are a guilty party, but not the only guilty party.

    Live their lives they have earned.

    You do understand that their big money is out there working, right?

    You do understand that the wealthy pay the majority of the tax bill, right?

    You do understand that 15% capital gains tax is only on the profit they've made on the investment of their initial earnings (that they paid full tax rates on), right?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you absolutely don't understand the difference in giving tax cuts vs giving aid to a foreign country. Actually, I don't need to assume anything, it's patently obvious.


    That aside, there was no tax cut, there was simply no increase.

    Yes, historical records of the tax cuts raising revenue must all be lies...

    So you are for putting up walls around the U.S. and telling the world to take a hike?

    I will agree with that to some degree, but I will say the dems are MORE guilty because they are the poster children for big government.

    If our budgets and deficits were more in-line with the Bush era budgets and deficits, I might be inclined to say "go for it", but they're far from it, far, far worse and so far, Obama and crew have done nothing to make it better. They seem to honestly believe they can spend the country into prosperity.

    So if we don't give anyone aid, that's putting up a wall around us? Hmmm...Were 17 trillion in debt. We can't afford to loan money to neighbors. Would you loan your neighbor money if you were 3 car payments behind, 3 house payments behind, and an overdrawn bank account? Absolutely you wouldn't..as far as tax cuts go, I'll give you an example of how that works. 3 casinos were built in downtown Detroit. They were given multiple tax breaks to build in depressed areas. They initially hired a great amount of people. Then automated blackjack came in (there went the dealers). Automated payout machines came in (there go cage operators). Automated roulette, automated poker, etc...The tax incentives remain, the jobs didn't. The result?? Casinos are paying less taxes then they should, while not supplying the number of jobs they promised, and hurting small business next to them, especially resteraunts.

    Do the repubs realize they are committing political suicide here? Bickering over a bill that if it were put up to a national vote would probably pass 90%-10%. Im telling you, I hate dems and repubs equally. But if the presidential election were held today, the dems could run a cat and it would win by 20% points...

    I believe general taxes on artificial persons could help solve the dilemma of a lack of income that would normally be associated with employment, in any at-will employment State.
