Republicans reveal true nature

Sounds like everyone here is sick and tired of the status quo. Join me and support RON PAUL. If we win IA and NH we will win the primary.

Our supporters are deeply involved in the delegate process this cycle and we have shown we can raise money faster from individuals than any other candidate. We will change the republican party in 2012.

Pat Robertson hijacked the republican party along with religious zealots. People are tired of authoritarians (obama, stalin) and theocrats (robertson, bachmann, santorum) and they're sick and tired of 5 simultaneous wars (neo-cons: bush,obama,bachmann,perry,romney,santorum) costing $1.3trillion/year: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya...and soon to be Iran and Syria. RON PAUL is the only candidate who can save this country from true default...Not just inflation.

Good post Lucias. Keep em coming. +1

Don't worry, Voodoodoo, Stupidity and the other welfare queens have ample time to post. Do you think they actually work or trade for a living?

Doesn't this belong in Chit Chat, Trash Bin or somewhere similar, mods?
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

its a common meme with the republican spinmeisters that the poor should pay more taxes while they cut taxes for the wealthy. facts make no difference to them but here are some anyhow:

Rick Perry: Middle Income Americans Don't Pay Enough Income Taxes

But back in the real world, I learn from newly minted GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry what’s wrong with America—that middle income Americans don’t pay enough taxes. Really.

“We’re dismayed at the injustice that nearly half of all Americans don’t even pay any income tax. (Quoted in this terrific Ruth Marcus column.)

We’re apparently not dismayed that more than half of all Americans have been in a 30-year recession with little or no income growth. We’re apparently willing to write off Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, which are the big federal taxes for low- and middle-income Americans. A family of four earning $30,000 may pay no federal income tax, but it pays $4,590 in payroll taxes (including the employer’s share, which economists believe is ultimately paid by the employee in the form of lower wages). Payroll taxes are much bigger than income taxes for most families.

Rick Perry is another big government Republican. The facts are that BOTH parties love to spend money, and when they spend money and much more importantly, pass regulation and regulating bodies, they assist the rich. Big government assists the rich. The rich are the ones who get all the contracts that the government spends supposedly "helping the poor." The rich use the government and their regulating bodies in order to monopolize industries. They use regulations and regulating bodies in order to restrict competition. That's the problem with big government, it helps the rich and not the poor.

You wrote: "We’re apparently not dismayed that more than half of all Americans have been in a 30-year recession with little or no income growth."

And yet government spending as a portion of the economy or per capita has gone absolutely through the roof over that period. Regulations without end. And yet the poor have had no income growth. Do you really think more of the same will change that? More big government spending and more big government regulations?

The reality is that if you want poor and middle class Americans to move up in the world, it is all about SMALL GOVERNMENT. There has never in the history of man been a period where the common man, poor/middle/upper middle have moved up even remotely close to the extent that the common man moved up during the 19th and early 20th century. This is just a reality, it is fact. The story of history is crystal clear if you do some research and educating yourself. Another simple metric you can use is comparing the difference in income in the old Soviet Untion versus the USA in the 1980's. The difference in income between a factory manager and a worker in the old communist soviet union was something like 50 times greater while in the USA it was 35 times greater. The difference was obviously more incredible when you compare the ultra elite in the old soviet union, which were all government officials. You don't get a bigger government than the old soviet union, yet inequality of income was far more severe and the common man far worse off.

It's just reality that no objective individual can deny. If you want to make the people worse off, eliminate free market capitalism and freedom. If you want to make them best off, eliminate big government and institute free market capitalism and freedom. Forget the fact that it is the moral thing to do, it is also the utilitarian thing to do if your concern is the well being of the poor and middle class.

Updated numbers for the national debt are just out: It's now $14,639,000,000,000.

When Barack Obama took the oath of office twice on Jan. 20, 2009, CBS' amazing number cruncher Mark Knoller reports, the national debt was $10,626,000,000,000.

That means the debt that our federal government owes a whole lot of somebodies including China has increased $4,247,000,000,000 in just 945 days. That's the fastest increase under any president ever.

He also came into office with the biggest deficit of any president.Is it really a surprise to have 4 trillion in debt after coming into office with a trillion dollar deficit,2 wars,medicaid expansion,the 2nd worst economy in 100 years etc:confused:

You could have saved yourself some typing if you'd just said "it's all Bush's fault".
 
AK, Bush left Obama a real shit sandwich to eat, no doubt. I cede your point on that one - no rational and fair minded person would argue otherwise.

Obama shares some blame for continuing so many of Bush's policies.He's a war mongering corporatist just like Bush

And I agree with you he isn't that much different from Bush
