Budget and Taxes Do you feel that raising taxes will help solve the debt of the United States? Are you a fan of Reaganomics?

But get a liberal to believe it!!!!. When it comes to liberals, common sense does not apply, nor does rationale reasoning.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

Do you honestly see the world in such simplistic terms as

conservative=good

liberal=bad?

And do you really believe that everyone falls into one of these uncomplicated pigeon-holes?

Or are you one of Rush's dittoheads??

Yes! Because Rush is right.

No I see the world by the responses I receive in this forum. When I present a rationale argument, I get not a rationale response but more slogans or better yet, conspiracy theories.

But Bush's tax cut favor the wealthy. Never mind the fact that thanks to the increase in the Earned Income Tax Credit, the poor actually got additional money back. Never mind the fact that thanks to the Tax Cut, President Bush added to the roles another 15 million people who qualified for not having to pay taxes. Just because the fact that the "rich" got a larger amount of money back the cuts are evil. However, simple logic, such as if you pay more you get more does not apply. Tell me what is a better deal, a 10% sale on an item that costs $1.00 or an item that say costs, $100, $1000, or even $10,000??? By definition all sales are equal, you saved 10%, yet when it comes to the real money, the 10 cents, or the 100 hundred bucks save is not equal now is it???

The story quoted goes to prove just that. Regardless of how it was broken down, you still had the rich paying more than half the bill, and the poor not really pay that much at all, yet they still complained, because the rich guy got the bigger monetary amount back.

I just ask the very simplistic question, Who, When and How do we pay for the Iraq War. Nobody has ever answered, and nobody will.

Get for real billy, we have answered that question time and time again. We all know the taxpayers will foot the bill. The same way we have footed the bill for the Great Society's War on Poverty for 40 plus years. The same the war that has seen more and more people considered living in poverty year in and year out.

This is the second time I have answered this question of yours, going to prove that I must be NOBODY, or you have nothing better to do than to lie to try to make a point, so which is it.

Get real Eagle Head. Your answer is a cop out and very shallow as usual. Which Tax Payers. Who pays what %? When do we pay? When do we raise taxes to pay for the Iraq War? You never have any answers just hallow rhetoric.
