This is your opportunity to provide as much money as you want to go to the government to put towards your pet projects. Whether or not they actually use it for your pet project is the root of the problem, but yet you folks can't see that. All you see is that you want the government to have more money.

Does it get any more ignorant?


And y6ou folks are too blind to see the blissful wasteful spending on your side of the aisle with absolutely no concern for how that spending will be funded. That makes a lot of sense, eh?

WHEN are conservatives going to put their actions where their mouths are?

When's the last time a conservative regime actually reduced the size of the government they hate so much?

As opposwed to the 'job' of conservatives to pay lip service to ideas while they increase the size of government, make a mockery of their so called 'family values', and spend like drunken sailors on projects that suit their agenda?

Right. That would be a politician.

Essentially EVERY conservative wants smaller government, lower taxes, fewer social programs and less regulations. We live by what we believe.

Libs, on the other hand, promote increased taxes, increased social programs, increased regulations and bigger government, yet want someone else to pay for it.

Are you suggesting that you are a SINCERE liberal and will pay more in taxes for all these things you want? I doubt it. Sincere and liberal are mutually exclusive.

The richest Americans, corporations, and banks are making record profits, with lower then ever tax rates.

Unemployment is at 9%.

So much for "trickle down" huh?

I don't ask that rich people pay a higher percentage in tax then I do, but I do think they should at least be required pay the same one.

Liberals want the very rich to pay more taxes, unless if you are a rich liberal, how would a liberal sending extra money to the IRS achieve this goal? In what twisted warped logic does this equate putting your money wheer your mouth is??
