There's plenty of scum to go around, especially when it comes to Clinton and the Bush's.

Sure when it comes to yelling at their fans.

I'd love to see that duo on stage.

Axl would be screaming in his little girl voice while Bill plays the saxaphone.

I wonder how long it would take an angry crowd member to react?

On the contrary, the arms embargo against Iran was imposed in 1979 at the time of the embassy takeover.

As we all know, the diversion of profits to the contras was also illegal.

Dealing weapons to Iran was made illegal AFTER it was done. That was nothing compared to Clinton making the U.S. less secure, for the reason I outlined earlier.
The rich are paying higher income taxes because they have higher incomes but other taxes like payroll tax property tax and sales tax and exicise tax are proportionally payed most by the middle class and the working class so in tottal the rich are paying less tax than the middle class and the working class.

The problem with the rich paying more taxes is that the threshold for 'rich' is too low and isn't adjusted for regional cost of living. Like in NJ, I get by.... but I'd live like a king in FL with my salary.... but I owe just as much in taxes as the southern king.

You completely avoided the Panama and Chile issues, also Reagan used Israel as the dealer sell Iran the arms. He was dealing with a country that held our citizens hostage. Talk about a stand up guy...
Well said regressive tax cuts for the rich are are very debt making in relation to their income the rich are paying less taxes overall than the middle class and the working class.

Bush cut income taxes deeply thus greatly reducing the amount of taxes that the rich had to pay they may pay higher income taxes but that is because they have higher incomes not because they pay higher taxes overall they pau less taxes other taxes are mostly payed by the middle class and the working class.

I have no idea what you're saying. Using punctuation will make it easier to understand.

Well said massive tax cuts for the rich leads to explossive debt this was the case with both Reagan and Bush.
