I agree that tax increases are a bad idea. But if you are going to spend, you have to tax. You can't have it both ways. At least the Democrats understand THAT part of it.
Whether or not Obama's tax plan will work, my point is, I don't understand how it makes him a communist. If he is a socialist, then so is every other politician in the last 75 years who has voted for any tax plan that wasn't a flat tax.
I spose it's not that much different than people calling Bush a fascist... but sometimes it all just becomes too much hyperbole for me.
:shrug:
cause he said it....it came right out of his mouth....i`m guessing that`s why the media is treating joe plumber,the typical guy you`d figure democrats were working for(single dad working his way up from the bottom as an apprentice to a journeyman to a master).....salt of the earth....
all the guy did was ask a question in his own neighborhood...
and for this he`s being attacked like he was a member of the manson familiy..news trucks parked outside his home...reporters digging into his personal life.....disgusting...
lou dobbs asked,"how many news trucks are staked out in front of william ayres` house?"...lol
baxcck to the subject...the concept of taxation is meant for the defense of our country,infrastructure(i.e. roads,police,fire) etc......and it`s evolved over the years to include some social programs(medicare,social security)...
but it was never intended as an apparatus to steal money from the productive and give it to the non-productive...
he`s proposing writing checks to people that don`t pay taxes.....
wtf is that?...it`s called communism...
this isn`t a communist country...
