There are two types of Republicans.

#1 Traditional conservatives that believe in small government and paying for bills.

Since Democrats run by giving the treasury away, many Republicans have had it tougher telling people who Democrats give a plate of dollar bills to that they should be responsible, work hard and so forth.
Those bad ones are Democrat-lite types.

#2 They are populists.

Many folks are looking for jobs. To raise taxes makes no sense. Businesses need to be able to plan. That means being able to stay within a budget.

Nancy Pelosi wants to harm employer's ability to hire by raising taxes. Nancy thinks that placing people onto the unemployment roll stimulates the economy. She is a witch.

There are tons of wealthy Democrats. It's not just Republicans who are a portion of the rich.

Actually, more wealthy Conservatives donate to others than wealthy Liberals.


How many Hollywood millionaires are there that could help?


Oh yeah, better hang on to some of that cash, just in case they need some more cocaine.


Wesley Snipes? Hmmmm, there's a good Democrat for ya.


Stop the government spending. Stop the socialism. Stop telling my kids what to eat. Just stop.

Here in CA we are very democratic. We have elections for all sorts of stuff all the time. We (not me personally) constantly vote for all sorts of wonderful social programs and wildly expensive projects that seem to serve no purpose at all except to satiate someone's desire to plant an ugly million dollar steel sculpture in my direct line of sight. We vote about funding too! Every new tax to pay for the monstrosity some call art and affects the people who actually want these services or artworks is defeated soundly every freaking time. When the new tax only affects the people (generally employers) who have absolutely no benefit from said spending it will pass. What passes then? The businesses that get hit pass right over the border taking their potential tax revenue with them.

Most democrats will quietly send in an extra check for $1000 at tax time--they just don't brag about it.

I don't believe that MOST comment for a minute, even when the Great Al Gore ran for President he only showed $300 for charity.

The super wealthy do tend to avoid the death tax though by giving the bulk of their fortunes to various charitable foundations.

Default Why Don't Democrats Voluntarily Pay MORE Taxes?

Democrats don't believe in choice.

Some folks like to light fuses just to see what blows up. I can appreciate that.

I bet not even one single Democrat sends in an extra check for $1,000 at tax time.

How many extra checks have you sent to the IRS?

OK - You got me. Democrats believe the tax system is voluntary.
