Where's you're logic in that? "I'd wager" is you're best explanation?

And how exactly do we "empower" these ...

GD always say it with class. Ritz, you did in fact say the tea baggers were only about low taxes, and used a real piece of propaganda (CfAP). you did that by naming your thread title "dear teabaggers" and not "are taxes really that high?" or something else. You called the Tea Party out, straight ...

Just for future reference, the Tea Party movement is not simply about lower taxes. It is also about lower spending and the cessation of borrowing habits that can only lead to the failure of the government (and higher taxes). So, for example, the Healthcare Bill, which does not actually provide ...

If nothing else, at least we now learned that Keith Olbermann lives in a Boston penthouse
I refrained from calling him an Olbermann wannabe from the beginning, just because I know how much is truly hurts my feelings when people say I am just a Glenn Beck worshipper. I laugh harder than they do ...

Im rooting for the USA...but I don't really expect much. If I had to seriously root for someone it would be Portugal or Italy...but Portugal has a pretty tough division.

Ha demeanor yes...opinion no. I was kinda joking with that post on teabaggers being that retarded...but again, sometimes thats difficult to detect.

I blame the Clinton administration and the Democrats and corporatist Republicans in Congress for the housing crisis. They pressured banks to make loans to unworthy borrowers by using the CRA act as leverage. The Democrats and Corporatist Republicans in Congress demanded the dismantling of Glass ...

it doesnt matter whos fault it is. gov't needs to cut spending right mother fucking now

Agreed...in a way...I believe that need to cut spending by ending the Iraq War as soon as possible, but they need to spend more money on building up infrastructure. Just like in the Great Depression, spending ...

Really?? Raise taxes on the poor. That's your solution? Not even the most far right congressperson would propose that. Raising taxes on the poor wouldn't result in that much more revenue. People in that situation live day to day and I know that because Ive seen it first hand. The only thing that ...

Ah good call, I didnt see that. I guess the sales tax thing kinda doesn't make sense with regard to that particular sentence, haha. Overall tough, the article discusses "total taxes as a percentage of personal income," which the reasons do pertain to.

Ritz. what is your problem with the Tea Party?

Well, i guess if i had to put it simply...the many tea party members are not politically educated, and are just pissed off because the economy isn't doing well and they need something to yell about. They don't know what they are talking about, and ...

Presidents Clinton and Bush pushed through a series of tax changes — credits, lower rates, higher exemptions — that slashed income taxes for poor and middle-class families. A drop in income now can trigger big tax breaks and sharply lower rates, sometimes falling to zero.

50%...wow thats quite the exaggeration. Again, this number includes sales tax, which we all pay when we buy goods.
