a) This country is not a democracy - and I hope it never will.

b) Israel is a country made up in 1948.

I only have one person on my "ignore" list.

I'm betting you know who it is by now.

Exactly. Believing that not taxing the "wealty" enough is what caused the Great Depression and the Great Recession is laughable.

The observation is mine and might be laughable - but there were papers published that predicted the recession caused by Bush cuts, based on the tax polices similar to the 20s and resulting Depression, so idea is not mine.

I am not going to pretend to be know-it-all - I'm ready to learn from any reasonable or logical argument. Point-and-laugh and "ignore" are the tactics of the weak.

If you think that not-taxing the rich all-together will pull the country out of the pooper - tell me how.

P.S. And if you think .22 is medium game caliber - tell me how, if medium bore don't start till .33

We still need to define "rich". Then we can discuss taxation. My definition of rich may different than yours. I'll start it income >1.5 million a year or net worth >15 million.

Recessions are not built IMHO during one administration. Bush 2 was not my favorite of course neither was Clinton, or Bush 1. Obama is the worst of the bunch also IMHO. We are just paying for 70s, 80s and 90s. 2000s too but I think that decade and this one is politicians try to fix the previous 30 years of foul ups and get re-elected at the same time. No politician wants to make tough choices. It may get kicked down the road again but also this could be decade of economic restitution. I really think economy wise you have to go back to Jackson for a good one. But he had his own social issues.

That was pretty funny.

Wrong! Your argument is what his campaign is wanting you to believe. Imsuggest you read the qoute rather than hear it. It, actually, IMO, makes him look worst if you read the quote rather than just listen or hear it on TV.




Couldn't disagree more. He is an intelligent guy. He knows what he is intelligent says what he believes. Plain and simple.

Parks - Not sure what you are saying is "Wrong!". Please read my post carefully - MoBoost was correct that in that sentence snip that is being replayed repeatedly the President was referring to the roads, etc. not to their businesses per se. BUT (and here's the key point I was trying to make) his overall intent was to justify an ever increasing tax burden as "owed by right" with no logical limits or historical precedent necessary In fact, he constantly wishes to avoid a discussion of what are the [proper limits of government and the President makes quite clear that in the economic realm he believes whatever the citizenry is "allowed" to keep is largesse from government not really their own hard-earned income/wealth.

I doubt very much that the President's campaign wants us to take away what I posted as his campaign message.
