Yeah, we'll step aside and learn, but I'm afraid the learning experience isnt going to have a positive outcome for you liberals..
Well, that's to be determined isn't it? A positive outcome is what we all want I presume. The outcome is for the betterment of the country, not just for "liberals." Republicans are looking like mopes right now, in deep denial after the Bush years. Thank God, we have a man like Barack Obama as our leader now.

President Obama is an intelligent man, one who listens to the opposition, even encourages opposing points of view as he contemplates solutions to the problems that plague this nation. We are very fortunate whether you care to recognize that or not.

I suggest you seek the answers to these questions elsewhere from people whose opinions you respect.

Easier for me to comment on the results such as those derived from 8 years of Bush.

Bush given a SURPLUS and turned it into a RECORD DEFICIT. Obama given a RECORD DEFICIT! Get a clue.

President Obama doing what needs to be done to get this country back on track. So stand aside and learn.
While at the same time bringing up Bush non stop, as if Bush has ANYTHING to do with budgets, either in the past, or current times.

I dont think you should be telling others to get a clue when your only response is your admission that you dont have a clue either..

Impossible to answer since I don't know your income levels.

I dont think ANYONE should pay ZERO taxes, regardless of their income levels, (unless of course they earn zero), but I can assure you that I should not be paying zero. I go through great lengths to minimize and exempt myself legally from federal taxes.

Comparison, I havent paid a dime in federal taxes for the last 7 years. I'm not so lucky on a state and local level where there arent special exemptions and tax writeoffs available..

I dont object to pay my "fair share" of taxes, but when the government makes avoiding them legal, and easily, I'm not going to volunteer to pay more than needed..
