Back off the taxes and regulations, stop smothering us by playing the over-controlling stage mother.

People like Obama are obsessive control freaks, every thought in their head needs new legislation and regulations to force everyone to conform to it. They could not walk two blocks thru the city of New York, without stopping a thousand times to tell everyone else how they should be doing this, that or the other.
What you logically state is anathema to liberals; especially Obama and his bots. They cannot conceive of a society that is able to make decisions for themselves.

Once again, Junkies,Derelicts, Illegal Aliens- Democrat's top customers, squealing at tax cuts for the wealthy.

Ask any liberal what America should be, and he'll chew your ear off. Ask him what's wrong with America, and he'll offer you a reading list. But ask him what America is-- besides a massive social service center or a collection of war crimes and corporations, and he'll have no real answers and just go to the liberal handbook and deflect as usual !

But you did increase your post count

I'll agree that "Quotes do not make anyone right" however they do give some the opportunity
to not repeat the mistakes of the past unless your not able to think for yourself

Great post as usual. You said it, most cannot think for themselves though. Everything else is spot on.

Some cannot understand the mistakes of here and now. The mistakes of the past, seem to be something that some will live over and over. Sorry but many cannot think for themselves. Want what everyone else has, go to college, and get a degree or two or 3.

Ask any conservative what America should be, and you will get a laundry list of half assed regurgitated Fox News talking points. When they fail to provide any evidence, they resort to calling the other side "liberals."

Here's a thought... increasing taxes on the wealthy actually cleans up budget deficits. If we didn't cut taxes on the wealthy every time a Republican crook got in office, we wouldn't have such a massive deficit problem.

Meanwhile YOUR taxes have gone up.
You pay $.60 of every dollar you earn to some government entity.
That's up from $.54 on every dollar.

the limits you are referring to were put in years later, in the mid 1980's, only after they'd gained popularity.

you need to understand the context before you post
The limits being added later is whats irrelevant..

are they real cuts, or only cuts in projected growth?
