Never said I wanted to pay more taxes. I wanted that chimp outsourced to the public in 2004. We wouldn't be in this mess right now if that were the case. What I want is people like you who voted for him to pay for his spending. Since we all know that isn't going to happen, the only way to accomplish it without crippling our country would be to raise taxes.

How come nobody talks about the fact that Mr. Bush is not even remotely addressing the debt he has built up? "War on terror" doesn't pay the bills. I'd like to have a "war on boredom" and run up all my credit cards making myself feel better. Unfortunately, I would have to pay it back. Ironic that he single handedly brought this country from a surplus to this level of debt, and in the same terms also perversed the bankruptcy laws to benefit big business, to ensure that everyone pays back their debts.

It must be nice to just burn money without ever being held accountable for it.

Of course not, you just want others to pay.
As I said before, if you feel you are not paying enough then by all means pay more. That way you would be paying the same you were paying when your idol Clinton the “chump” was playing president.

As Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story.
Even the uneducated can get work when they want. It just takes longer and they must work harder for it. Homeless shelters should be run by donations and churches Not tax dollars. Education should always be funded this is 1 area that should never be affected. But I must admit I do believe teachers to be overpaid. Except for the new to field teachers. Go to a different restaurant. I have had to leave Hippie eateries due to the foul odor coming from the liberal tree huggers that don't shower. Fair is fair.

Care to explain exactly how you think we're going to pay down the deficit without raising taxes? I'm intrigued.

...and no simple "cuts". WHAT are we cutting?

Tax revenues have increased since the tax cuts were implemented.
If you think there is no room for tax cuts you are delusional. There is so much waste in government I would start with a 30% cut in all social programs and everything Kennedy has planned.

Landsake, alive, I sure both neither of you ever want for anything!

You know I am very touchy about Mr. Kennedy.

I watched a sport fishing show with George Bush featured. He caught an under sized fish, made a joke, tossed it to his dog, saying," he likes to play with them." I thought this action showed the essential conscienceless, corrupt soul of the man. He is not a Christian, he uses the Christian religion as a mask. He is a sociopath.

Well that little episode must have been buried. Catching a fish, then tossing it to your dog to be "played with" because it was undersized? I wish we could toss George to the Iraqis to be "played with".

....and I've been telling people that for years. He is not now, nor has he ever been a Christian according to the set of beliefs those people are supposed to live by.
