Tax is low as long as the vote who calling for higher tax is not the one paying for it. Like Buffett and Soro. Called for high income tax, but they get their income from capital gain (Buffett) and carry interest (Sors).

Sounds to me like the OP is looking for someone to blame for his or her personal problems. Granted the GOP is far from perfect, but I would rather have them in power than the dictators in the democratic party. I can't stand it when people tell me how to run my life. I want to be able to buy what I want, when I want, and have the government stay the heck out of the way. I am doing okay, thank you. No government needed here.

And speech codes and socially engineered equality of outcome is the dream the progressives have for America.

Also, what you're ascribing to Republicans is crony capitalism, which is something supported by the elites of both parties. If you weren't blinded by partisanship you might notice that the richest people in the country are Democrats, not Republicans. 8 out of the 10 wealthiest counties in the nation voted for Obama. The Wall Street villains that the Occupy people protested against were the 3rd highest contributor to Obama's 2008 campaign.

Democrats like to point to an infintesimal fraction of the GOP and say that's the entire GOP while ignoring and dismissing the extremists in their own midst as not being worthy of criticism or notice.

the kid is right. Z as i have said BOTH PARTIES are the problem. you claim the republicans are only for the rich, but them you also claim that the democrats are for the "little" people, and BOTH points of view are WRONG.

in the end life is not fair, live with it.

I definitely in agreement with you in regards to the bolded, one party rule is NOT the future I want for this country.

But I strongly disagree about a 3rd party not being able to make a difference, especially since the GOP itself started out as a 3rd party.
