Fits right in with the ideology.

Here's an ideology for ya:

"No tax increases except on the poorest!"

how about wiping out the current payrole tax system and just adopt a fair tax on stuff you buy.. makes sense to me. but then the two parties could play the class war fare as easily as they can now..

Really...

Pray tell...what science are you speaking of..

No, class warfare is by the left....I know what I paid in income taxes, and I certainly paid more than my fair share....I would like to get a refund, as I did not get enough services for my money paid...answer this question -

If I go to a restaurant, and order a steak dinner...should I also pay for the dinner for the folks next to me, because my income is higher?

More "class warfare" promoted by the GOP against America's poor, while advocating for the wealthy.

The GOP is headed for an electoral disaster.
false


we want ALL rates LOWERED

the government should not need more than 10% to run..if it does, its not efficient

either a flat 10% (to maybe 15% income tax)...or better yet since a majority of income is never reported...a tax on spending..a consumption tax to REPLACE the income tax

It's obvious by now that the memo went out to all the "useful idiots" to project THEIR real intentions onto the other side in hopes that the majority is as dumb as they are and fall for the propaganda.

No, it's the liberals who point out what is really going on in this country. The conservatives just keep trying to deny what is going on right in front of our faces.

And when it comes to whacko idealogies, the Republicans win the prize. The latest is Michele Bachmann pronouncing to the country that the hurricane and earthquake were messages sent to us by god. Right. You'd think if god was interested in sending us a message, he'd just type it across the sky or something instead of indulging himself with the creation of natural events whose cryptic meaning can only be understood by Republicans.

And what is really going on? Do you actually believe that most people want leaders of either extreme in office?
