I think its great that they signed that pledge. We should be lowering the tax rates. get the government out of the way. Why too much money is being spent but you liberals want even more. Spending over 3 trillion dollars a year isn't enough.
I love that you got fired up about the left wing comment liberals always hate to be called liberals. I love it. I don't hide behind posts. I'll tell anyone. I'm as conservative as they come. I want government out of my life, and any problems I have I will deal with. I'm sure you'll fire back with something oh I'm not liberal I'm independent
So you think that it is ok, that they sold out ? You think it is ok the tea partiers are being bought now? By being conservative, by definition you would dislike a lying politician but you are putting a new spin on that, cause you are ok with the lies and corrupt bought and paid for politics. Hurray for today, to hell with tommorow.
I didn't get fired up.....you see I am one of those CHRISTIAN right-wingers, so you got that wrong. Yes! Cling to my guns and religion! LOL! What I do know is
this country is in trouble and what has been done hasn't worked. The top 400 people in this country own more than the bottom 150 million and this country can not sustain that. Nor can a country who produces nothing survive, Rome is the best example of that.
The current chatter is about what and who OWS stands for.
And that chatter is about the economic system!
Whenever we try to pin you down for specifics about your thoughts on the issues you squirm and avoid the questions.

Let's assume you are correct in your assumptions: what are your CONCRETE, Specific ideas on fixing that "inequity."

No I'm not ok with them taking money, but understand they will be up for reelection in the spring. If in fact they sold out they will be dealt with. I really don't care if they take money or not. I care in how they vote. They all are going to take money to get reelected.
I love how you claim to be a Christian right-winger, while I'm sure you go to church your posts don't support your claims of being right wing. Sorry you don't past the sniff test.
I also don't care about 400 people having more wealth than the bottom 150 million in this country. this country may have warts, but the fact of the matter is you don't have to stay in that bottom. This is still one of the few countries that you can affect your own lot in life.
It ticks me off that people want to take wealth away from people who worked hard to earn that wealth. get off your butt and go earn some yourself!
You do realize that the people they take the money from is HOW and WHAT they vote on/for.
Sniff test, how funny....you must be new here....I haven't looked at your post count. But time and time again I have been flamed and trolled for my CHRISTIAN RIGHT WING views.
You see even those that have the money today didn't earn it. They inherited it or have been bought and paid for. Period. What is good for the goose is good for the gander and that is what is wrong......one side doesn't want the other stealing their corrupt power/thunder and that is why nothing is this country gets done and accomplished. We are laughing stock of the world.

No one is "squirming".... I am here and replying. You don't like my replies so therefore you keep asking, we have been down this road rime and time again.
And fixing that inequity has been addressed on one platform as to taxes and corporations. No more lobbyists.
READ. Words mean something.
You see even those that have the money today didn't earn it. They inherited it or have been bought and paid for.
That's an awfully brash and outlandish statement you make there. So no one who is "rich" today earned? Really?
Let's assume for a second you are correct. My response? SO WHAT? It's not against the law to inherit money - someone's family did well for themselves and they have the right to pass it on.
And to your point about being "bought"? Again, if laws were not broken then you don't have a point.
Your entire stance in this thread seems to be lobbing around vague generalities without any concrete, substantive solutions.

We're been down this road before because you never answer requests for specifics. You either tell us to look it up in a thread of nearly 80 pages or such. I don't like your replies because you don't answer the questions for specifics very often.
Your solution for fixing inequity is just tax more? That's specious at best. Explain exactly how taxing the rich more fixes the inequity. How does taxing the rich help curb poverty for example?
You do realize that the people they take the money from is HOW and WHAT they vote on/for.

again if you think a person is going to go to washington and not take money you are naive. they all do it. thats why term limits would be a great idea.
I can tell you your views on this issue are far from right wing. Like the other poster just said how would you fix the system?
How many millionaire or billionaire's do you know? One that I know came here on a boat with nothing and made his fortune. I guess we should take it from him. Another here in charlotte was dirt poor as a boy but made something of himself starting 2 businesses. I guess he didnt earn it either.
I shudder anytime somebody with no money starts talking about the haves and how they have too much money. How much is too much? At what point shouldn't they be allowed to have anymore?
