I'm talking to you like an adult. I only ask that you do the same. Yes, universal healthcare in all the highly developed industrialized societies of the world is really an evil liberal communist plot to redistribute wealth. Who knew? Especially that they have a higher life expectancy and...

Sorry jem, but this is just flat out wrong. There is clearly a path from non-life to life. What exactly that path is, we don't exactly know yet. But we know exactly what chemicals and compounds are involved. We don't know exactly how they came together as they have. This is the subject of...

Should he be invoking Jesus or Krishna? We're going in circles. I see your point but we'll have to agree to disagree. I suggest you watch this bbc documentary on chaos theory when you have the time. The video is split into six parts. Here is a synopsis. I'd be very disappointed if you didn't...

...said the angry right winger. Seriously, you need to chill out. I pretty much agreed with you. That's why I suggested you support universal healthcare. You want a 1:1 payback don't you? In a democracy, there are going to be people who disagree with you. If your response is to get...

Not arbitrary. Pre-bush tax cut. Arbitrary would be all rich must pay 50% tax rate effective immediately. Take a nice trip to Europe, because they'd probably laugh at you Americans complaining about high taxes. Even if we returned to Clinton tax rates, we'd still have one the lowest tax rates of...

When did I say I was for waste and excessive bureaucracy? I didn't. My point is that this agency and their budget pales in comparison to medicare, social security, and military expenditures. These 3 things are what they need to focus on in regards to reform. Everything else can come after that...

$24 billion for an agency is pennies. They need to reform medicare, social security, and reduce defense spending. This is not class warfare. It's just what's fair. The rich will still be rich. They're just asked to pay what they did when Clinton was in office.

I'm not a detective FYI. Warren Buffet doesn't need government services like someone making $20,000 a year might. If you want to live in a society where people go bankrupt or die because they can't get basic affordable healthcare, then good for you.

We need to raise taxes AND cut spending. Republicans AND Democrats are right on both things here. Obama made clear they had a bill that would do this while not throwing a wrench into the economic recovery. I have to give Obama and Boehner credit for trying to work to together on this, despite...

This is probably the third time I have to post this. Please don't make it a fourth. "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," he writes. "Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists...

A creationist totally ignoring facts. I'm not surprised...given such a laughable response as this.

You can reject out of hand whatever you want but it doesn't prove anything. Especially by arbitrarily claiming what top scientists believe. A statement I have shown with my quotes to be absolutely false. Plenty of top scientists think it completely plausible for a random untuned Big Bang.

That's what I meant. Of course Buffet pays more dollar-wise in taxes :)

They certainly do pay a lot but I have to agree with Obama when he says we can do without many of the tax loopholes and deductions that allow people like Warren Buffet to pay less in taxes than his secretary.

Trader 666, if you're not capable of having a civil discussion where you refrain from constant references to myself as part of your argument, then we're done here.

Why do I need to be "told"?? I can think perfectly on my own. The multi-verse isn't proven. String theory merely provides the mathematical framework which makes it physically possible. What do you have? "God did it." Such arrogance on your part is laughable.

If the government is to provide services to its citizens, why would you expect those who can least afford it, to pay the most for it? You've been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh. Your tax dollars pay for infrastructure, education, law enforcement, safety/environmental regulations...

If such a policy enables Warren Buffet to pay almost half percentage-wise in taxes as his secretary, I think that's pretty much a robbery right there. I'm all for a flat national sales tax, and abolition of the income and corporate tax. I'm also for the negative income tax that Milton...

Looks like I touched a nerve. FYI, I believe in solvent government too.
