You're post is interesting, I'm just having trouble tying some of the topics together.

It reminds me of the story of two guys.

''Are you voting REPUBLICAN?'' says Tom.

Pat says ''No,I'm voting DEMOCRAT."

''WHY?'' says TOM.

Pat says,''Because my father was a DEMOCRAT,my grandfather was a DEMOCRAT,my great-grandfather was a DEMOCRAT.........so I'm voting DEMOCRAT.''

Tom says,''That's crazy logic Pat!Now, if you're father was a horse thief,and your grandfather was a horsethief,and your great grandfather was a horsethief,what would you be.''



Pat says,



















''THEN I'D BE A REPUBLICAN.''

That's pretty much the standard line around here. They don't know why they vote the way they vote, other than it's a genetic thing. I've heard that so many times I

YOU mean.......puppets?

lemmings maybe? lol~

Tax Policy Center of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution has analyzed these tax-cut measures. The Tax Policy Center has found:

* Some 54 percent of the tax cuts from go to households with incomes of more than $1 million a year, the top 0.2 percent of households. Another 43 percent of the tax-cut benefits will go to the 3.5 percent of households with incomes between $200,000 and $1 million. Thus, 97 percent of the tax cuts from these two provisions will go to the 3.7 percent of households with incomes over $200,000.

* That leaves only 3 percent of the tax-cut benefits for the 96 percent of U.S. households with incomes below $200,000. That 3 percent of the tax cuts will go almost entirely to households in the $100,000-$200,000 range. Essentially none of the benefits will flow to families with incomes under $100,000



I congratulate you because based on your posts you must be earning a minimum of $500,000 per year.
The only way Republicans can get elected is to convince the people that they are screwing that it is in their best interest to be screwed. It's amazing how many people vote against their interests.

I take it you believe in trickle down (or Voodoo as Papa Bush called it) Economics. If you can just manage to allow the super wealthy to hold on to more of their money they will use their savings to hire more illegals to mow their lawns and hopefully trim their "BUSHES"

Almost all of the comments you made in your original post on this thread don't express my views and I consider myself a Liberal Democrat.
I think you would have a much harder time disputing my characterization of "a good republican"

I would prefer leaving politics off this site but when I read posts like yours they're hard to ignore.

Do we toss in the earned income tax credit anywhere. Receiving money back one didn't pay in the first place?

I don't make anywhere near that. I just happen to believe that the only person that can make my life better is me. The government doesn't solve problems, it only creates them. I would imagine that quite a few of those millionaires that are getting the tax breaks are also able to hire people like you and me because of those tax breaks. If people would start taking responsibility for their lives and stop looking at government to fix every little thing, perhaps this country could once again become what it should be.

So, receiving help from the government is bad, unless it it for rich business owners?

I don't think we can put welfare and other "government assistance" programs into the same category as tax breaks.

Really? Companies that don't need them, get tax cuts they don't deserve, for jobs they don't create. Sounds like welfare to me, my friend. Taxes are a responsibility of members of our society. Not having to pay them does equal a handout.

Underneath the surface, you will find that no company or corporation pays taxes. All taxes get passed on to the consumer. People aren't smart enough to comprehend that. It's just sounds really good to tax business...it fools lemmings into thinking big business is getting soaked.


One should hope that there is an environment for big business to thrive, as I don't know a lot of poor people that create jobs for the masses.

It's -6 below zero here in Minnesota.....global warming musta missed us. Congrats on your Nobel Peace prize Mr.Gore.
