Where oh Where are the Conservatives
by Buckshot2

today. For sure not in Washington and not out on the campaign trail. Where are they?

To be sure con or lib doesn't mean much, if one considers themselves con then all issues they like they will call con and the same is true of those that think of themselves as libs.

The issues are the main thing but it is imposable to get the candidates off their lies long enough to talk about real issues. Instead they pander to all groups and promise things they can not passably deliver.


Question: Why vote for any of them instead vote them out if they are office, then do this each election until they realize they must listen to the people not the special interest.

Outting the incumbents sounds great until election time when everyone blames the other guy. A little pork a little tax cut and back in they go. Fact is all anyone wants to hear is tax cut. Ten trillion in debt, deficits are running away, now a bailout for scum and tax cuts? We the people are ignorant self centered pigs.

Can't say you are wrong partner, it is the people's fault, we know that they are all incompetent, corrupt and bought out by special interest. Like lemmings we go to the polls and vote them back in election after election.

The fault is us, what fools we are.

John F. Kennedy:

"It is a paradoxical truth that lower tax rates increase federal revenue".

(a slightly garbled quote from recollection)

Lowering federal income taxes has produced higher federal revenue, higher economic growth rates, higher productivity and greater prosperity for America each and every time.

For demanding higher taxes, lower growth, fewer jobs and reduced productivity and prosperity in the interest of your demented left wing political agenda, YOU are an ignorant, self centered fascist pig.

If only your morbid disease were rare.

Where are all those jobs that Bush's tax cuts were supposed to create?

I am sure you will have some lame excuse...

We are heading towards 1 million jobs lost just this year.

Lower taxes, when balanced with fiscally responsible spending, can produce revenue growth which can lead to job growth. Unfortunately, with the Republicans over the past 7 years have been spending money irresponsibly like sailors on shore leave without making payments on the deficit. Tax cuts will do absolutely no good for our Economy at this time. It is like "spitting in the ocean" and expecting the water level to rise!

With our National Debt now over 10 trillion dollars, the interest alone on the National Debt wipes out a major portion of our GNP. Until our Government becomes fiscally responsible, Tax cuts are a total waste of time and effort!

It took George's taxcuts SIX YEARS...yup SIX YEARS
by spreadsheet

to bring in more gross annual revenue, than Clinton's tax regime brought in in the year 2000. There is NO other time in our history, where we endured a 5 year dip in gross annual revenues.

AND...as to JFK? Yup, JFK lowered marginal rates, but he accompanied those with a sweeping overhaul of our tax loophole regime, such that his effective rate actually went up by 1% point!

More supply side economic experiments aren't a winning strategy politically or economically.

How many Failures (Reagan, Bush#41, Buhg#43) does it take to reject a discredited extremist economic doctrine.

Spreadshit, your manure is truly stinking up the discourse.

You ignore a vast smoking ruin in the heart of Manhattan, brutal energy prices, a war on terror and an epic hurricane in depressing revenues.

Play the timeline to ignore the truth that fascism depresses economic activity, because you want a fascist government.

Bull crap.

If higher taxes produce higher revenue, why does europe have a third smaller national income per citizen than does America?

Socialism is fascism, and it's bad for humanity, otherwise the ussr would have won the cold war, hitler would have won WWII, europe would be more productive than America, and it would get dark when the sun comes up.

The lengths you'll go to to justify socialist fascism are astounding.

Yup A-fascist, Your George had it rough.

Cry us all a river. The problem with your foxfartian apologia though, is that GDP increased at a relatively steady, albeit moderate rate, throughout those 6 years. Therefore of course, your litany of George excuses, is meaningless.

Explain why socialist countries have a national income diminished by a third relative to America.

Explain why diminishing our income as a nation by one third benefits the citizens of America.

Explain why Europe so adamantly supports socialism in America, point being, if socialism is good for America, then us adopting socialism would deprive europeans of revenue which flows to a more powerful USA.

Europe wants to have more a successful America to compete with economically?

Or,

Europe want the USA to be as politically backward as they are so thet they can become more competitive in the global marketplace?

And, so, how is it America's interest to be diminished to european levels?

Explain how we are to pay for a vastly increased federal government with a vastly diminished economic base.

Given that socialism will diminish America's economy by upwards of 30%, please provide your rationale justifying diminishing the value of everybody's life by a third.

We trade our lives for our wages, socialism allows a lower return on our investment of life, please explain how it does not equate to murder, slavery, rape, to diminish the value of human life by adopting a political system which deprives citizens of such a significant fraction of their potential.

How do you justify the economic equivalent of genocide?
