Why is that republicans have this emotional protest against double taxation. If I gave you a billion dollars as a gift you would pay a tax on it, if you gave what was left after taxes (or large portion of it) to someon else, the recipient would pay a tax as well and so on and so on. The point...

That is a load of crap. Warren Buffet used the example of his secretary to illustrate that because of dividends he can make billions and pay a lesser percentage of taxes than his secretary. He is also for an inheritance tax (republicans cutely name it the death tax) Trust me, the...

A cretin is someone who will vote for John McCain

I think those men that like Sarah Palin are "thinking" with the wrong part of the body. I can't stand that bitch.

What are you are trying to do is be cute and set a trap. According to Rush Limbaugh website the top 25% pay 86.0% of federal taxes and it is actually bigger portion than before bush's taxes. The problem here is that those numbers are fluid and reflect the simple reality that most new economic...

It is not only about what is fair it is also about pragmatic considerations. It is in the best interest of the rich to have a stable middle class. Marie Antoinette found out what happens when you don't. Who decides? The government. What is fair? Top rates should be under 50% otherwise the...

Slaves don't pay any taxes at all does not mean they benefit from the system. Too often people like Rush Limbaugh and others point out that the rich pay most taxes and their portion has actually increased since 2000. To this there is a simple counter: when most of the economic opportunities go...

Here is what is going to happen (what is supposed to happen). Treausury (Paulson) will be buying up the most worthless assets for the highest price and will get "rewarded" accordingly (kickbacks)

Does anyone feel suspicious that a network consistently calling itself "fair and balanced" is anything but? Afterall the communistic newspaper "PRAVDA' (truth) was anything but...

Bahrain does not have a personal income tax. Why is its economy not infinite? I mean if we follow Laffer's ridiculous ideas to their natural conclusion we are bound to think that if setting tax rates to 100% produces no activity (nobody wants to work) then setting them 0% should produce infinite...

A US dollar's value is not fixed, it also on a certain level represents the collective expertise of all of USA citizens. A tribe that can only produce trinkets will never be able to have a decent currency unless they have some natural resources or something. The point I am trying to make is that...

No it is not. It is the republican point of view that "rich people create jobs" which makes it seem like it is a one way street when in fact there is interdependence and symbiosis. There is a real good example to nuke all of this to shreds. Modern IT economy has produced many billionaires...

Do you realize there are those inviduals in society that either can't or don't want to be a businessman(woman)? There are other occupations besides money making. If we are talking about scientists for example, it is incumbent upon society to establish opportunities for those people to just...

Take a look at Keith Olbermann commentary on what Rich Lowry said about Sarah Palin's debate performance(it is the last worst person of the day): <iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/27015683#27015683" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> That...

The republicans on this web site can never win on the issues it is all the same crap from them 24/7. For example: Obama is a liberal Don't elect Hussein Obama will spend spend spend Obama is not experienced Obama is a marxist/socialist/muslim terrorist And other talking points from Rush...

LIE. Obama ran a good campaign as far as money, organization and personnel are concerned. He may not win because some people will not vote for "Hussein". The campaign had to spend MILLIONS wisely to keep the lights on. What about McCain? McCain had serious financial problems several times in...

Maybe W will "suddenly" catch Bin Laden as an october surprise

Pocketbook issues can and do trump the day. When they see incompetence all the beauty queen hockey mom nonsense goes to the curbside. Everybody knows Biden would be more capable as a VP. Now is not the time to experiment with a)Fundamentals of our economy are strong/I still need to be educated...

Hahahahaha! John McCain embraced &worked with the guy who slandered his family in the worst way possible during 2000 campaign. Or have you forgotten the whole "illegitimate black child" incident? That would be called political prostitution. When I think of president I think MANAGER, not...
