Then we should not burden businesses with providing healthcare insurance. We should provide Universal Healthcare as the other nations do that are more competitive and attract manufacturers.

Just have to try to keep living surrounded by Village Idiots ERRR Tea Party members.

Why is that you keep calling people names unless they are in your lobbies ?

Some of these peopledidn't like bush anymore than they do obama. I'm one and until palin got into the tea Party i thought we had some hope of real change . But the people are decieved again and they will soon find out just how much . I'm conservative unlike most running like conservatives . Anyone who runs with mCcain is a traitor ,imo, no matter if he picked her or notshe owes him nothing . She is helping him because they think alike and she will finish off what chance we had .

Let's just say that only rich people got tax cuts. So what? How does that hurt the economy? It doesn't. It's just something people say to create envy and fear for the miseducated.

And as I have stated earlier 2006, 2007 and 2008 saw the largest tax revenue going to the feds in U.S. history. The largest ever. And democrats still *****. If Bush were a democrat (which he basically was) they would be talking about how great that was.

Democrats have got to be the most retarded people on earth. I hear Michael Savage say liberalism is a mental disease. Aint that the truth. The most mentally defective people around.

I wish we could drop 'em all down a well and seal the top with Oprah's fat ass.

It all comes out in the wash. Cut Federal taxes and property taxes go up due to cuts in Federal subsidies to local areas.

Without bringing up the huge elephant in the room and being accused of trolling it is hard to debate here .

I'll just say that after you stand in line with an extra 50 million people bush wanted to add, oama will add then you will change your mind .

Thats not what happened. What happened was that revenues to the federal government increased and the economic growth rate in the nation doubled. In addition the tax cuts shifted more of the tax burden to the rich, not the poor.

Ten Myths About the Bush Tax Cuts | The Heritage Foundation

The problem was that the government spent the extra revenue in NEW funding and expanded programs.

Savage rules ! He can be too rude and that i don't like but he is one of the few who talks about the most important thing changing our nation, borders language and culture ! Soon non assimulating mostly poor immigrants will determine our laws, religian and fate .

I will never undestand why the ones who benefit the most [ hollyhoods and sports stars] from this once great nation are the very ones bringing it down and hating everything about it that was good and decent . Suicidal lunatics . they will soon find out they have no place else to go , this was it !

His language is pretty straight forward. The guy knows his stuff though.

One thing I like about him is he goes after republicans too. He doesn't apologize for them like most other "conservative" talk show hosts.

Can you guys read? The middle class was taxed more than those who made over $1 million a year. How is that fair. Tax the middle class and let the rich slide? You corporate fascists.
