You have it wrong. Democrats do not propose taxing those deep in poverty. But Republicans do, in particular, the largely Republican body of Alabama voters believe that it is just to tax a family making $4,600 a year. http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050424/taxes.shtml

How can you say they're "propaganda" without even reading them? I guess the facts are too confusing for you. Your legacy costs argument needs more elaboration and evidence. You haven't proven anything. Nevertheless, the facts are what they are, even if you are too stubborn or lazy to...

When you continually attack people with such silly expressions as "lefty losers," you are only revealing the intellectual bankruptcy of your arguments, for if you had cogent evidence for what you say, you would not need to rely on such simpleminded tactics. Good night.

By definition ALL taxation is confiscatory. That which is given by one's own free will is called charity. Everyone pays taxes, and everyone is helped in some way or another by the "nanny state." That is the way our government is. Liberals support "nanny government," and conservatives do...

Ah, the old denying a valid claim fallacy. No, I corrected YOU. Please read the article--and I have others, if you need more--that refute your claim about the poor not paying taxes. Some taxes hit the wealthy more, such as the federal income; but others are more punishing on the poor (it...

Homework? I think you're the one who needs homework and some enlightenment. Feed on this: http://newstandardnews.net/content/index.cfm/items/2879

Please provide evidence that the the millions of poor in this nation are largely "stupid, lazy, and unmotivated." I mean, you keep asserting it. Clearly you must have proof that it is true. Or are you uncritically repeating what someone else told you?

One of the great things Britain did in 1832 was passing the Reform Bill, which did a lot to alleviate the negative effects of capitalism while preserving many of the good effects and did much to establish the middle class(es) and ultimately break the back of the parasitic aristocracy...

A rather ignorant statement, obviously Income taxes, perhaps, but what about OTHER taxes? Do any workers NOT pay payroll taxes such as Social Securty/Medicare? What about local taxes? State taxes don't count? As Chris Rock once said, you don't pay tax. They TAKE tax out of your...

I guess in your view we should let the handicapped, the old, the infirmed, the mentally disabled, the physically disabled, and others do what you obviously did and "pick themselves up by their own bootstraps." You really don't know how lucky you are. Clearly you weren't born with any...

There are many philosophical reasons: Because it is just and good for the common good. Because Judeo-Christian ethics emphasize a work ethic and also a concern and responsibility to help those who are less fortunate because of no fault of their own. Because egoism and unchecked self...

Not at all. The proposed increase would be to $7.25 an hour. That would affect not 1.4%, but rather an estimated 11%, of workers, because that would include not just those who make minimum wage now, but all of those who earn more than $5.25 but less than $7.25.

By asking these questions, you are making the assumption that people CHOOSE to be poor. Sometimes it is a case of people being too lazy to do the necessary work. I have no sympathy for any one who is able enough to work but chooses not to. I am not talking about them. I am talking about...

Do you know ANYTHING really about those who work for minimum wage, or are you simply mindlessly repeating the ignorance of others? You are free to live in a country in which people earn $1 an hour. You probably wouldn't want to live there yourself, but you are welcome to go, if you don't...

Of course it is a starting point. That's why they call it the minimum wage. Have you actually seen the figures on how many adults and heads of families? I have--and it's not just teenagers who work 40 plus hours a week in grueling jobs just to live in abject poverty. I do know many hard...

Position closed. Rolled only once.

Price cannot be predicted accurately for the simple reason that the actions of people, who ultimately control price, are not themselves predictable. Most rules have exceptions, and here is the exception for this rule. Sometimes people's behavior CAN be predicted, once there is a trigger...

Citing a WSJ article is weak evidence beause it is a BUSINESS publication, for the most part, not a scientific one.

You are making many unwarranted assumptions about scientists. You say "I don't think they have enough information," but how do YOU know? What is "enough information," and how are you qualified to make that determination?
