Quote from gnome:
It was ALL GEORGE BUSH. It was his PERSONAL agenda.
That's a very naive viewpoint and is straight out wrong. Maybe you need to get off your tirade and really research how the world turns.
But then, anyone who watches Bill O'Reilly, short of laughing at how stupid & trashy he & his viewers are, is very unlikely to have an open mind.
The rich may only pay 60% of the taxes, but they pay far far less than their share. There is a whole industry based on avoiding taxes.
Another note. Even with all the tax evasion techniques, the rich still pay most of the taxes in the nation. That should signal something. The masses are BROKE. There is no more money to squeeze out of them.
Regardless, with this line of thinking, you will never figure out what is going on. Just keep blaming the right or the left, while watching Bill O'Reilly or whatever other talking head. Oh yeah, and calling the government & establishment stupid, which is the most ironic part of these conversations.
