At least the Tea Partiers go out and vote. Only 11 percent of folks 18-29 did, this election. In some areas of FL the democratic turn out was under 40 percent.
Unless you vote, your interests will not be heard. The evangelical right are as united as the churches they attend. So if the rest of you, aren't willing to make that step to
the voting booth, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Sometimes it's whose motivated the most that gets to
call the shots So if you don't like it, get off your ass
I love watching the far left freaks squirm after getting their ass kicked in the mid terms. So full of bs, hate and anger!
Why do you not mind that lobbyists are running Washington and that many reresentatives that were just sent back to Congress are entrenched with Corporate America? Are you an admirerer of Oligharchies and are figures such as Mussolini your heroes? What are we supposed to label people such as yourself?
Why do conservatives keep calling it "Obamacare". How about you call it Reagancare, since all Obama did was take the health care plan that Reagan came up with. Republicans didn't have this much of a problem when Reagan proposed it.
Dude, do you realize that was like 25-30 years ago before we had the flood of illegals in our ER's for the slightest little sneeze?
When you come across a statement such as this "Now, the fact is, tax cuts do not create deficits ..."
Stop reading.......You are wasting your time....They are too far gone....lol
Wow ... this common sense thing really has you stumped.
Let's use an analogy for you here .... let's say I'm one of those "rich folks" that you liberals hate so much ..... I make $250 grand per year .... but I Spend $450 grand. Are you saying that the problem is that I'm not being paid enough money? Or would you say that am I spending too much?
First, when tax rates go down revenues to the treasury go up. As much is historically accurate. Second, if you cut taxes AND the spending to go with it (something a liberal is simply unable to fathom) you have no deficits.

On a percentage basis the Bush Administration had the LOWEST increase in federal tax revenue of any post World War II President. It should be noted the Ronald Reagan enacted the biggest income tax reduction in history but the rate of federal tax revenue was exceeded by Bill Clinton, and Richard Nixon WITHOUT CUTTING TAXES. The terms of the Kennedy-Johnson Administration was about to achieve a higher percentage increase in tax revenue by lower taxes AT much higher tax rates.
Sorry but lowering tax rates is NOT the only factor in terms of increasing federal tax revenue. There are a host of other economic factors i.e. demographic trends, wage increases, technical innovation etc. that play a much bigger role in increasing tax revenue.

Of course you can't address the FACTS presented to you on the debt and deficit, can you?
Where did you say you get your information and facts?
Certainly not the CBO or the Treasury, because you are ignoring the figures there. It must be painful to KNOW your God has created the biggest financial mess we've ever been in.

Reagan never did, and never would have proposed socialized health care! Reagan was not a socialist! Who lied and told you Reagan proposed anything like this? I was around when Reagan was President. I was in my 30's. No such thing was ever thought of or proposed by his administration.
