I can't talk to you, you think that Clinton was more incompetent than Bush. That kind of genius is better left alone.
What normal human being wants to pay more taxes? I can't figure this one out... Ok.. More taxes means less money for me right?
you're viewing it all wrong. You pay more taxes so others can have more of your money. You can not view it from a "me" perspective but from a "we". Capitalism has messed up your viewpoint
Oh God, you're so far gone it doesn't even matter. You seriously need to do some investigating on your own time, because you're either totally clueless or you're in the third grade and I don't enjoy debating with either.You can't talk to me because you can't come up with reasons why Clinton was a good president, or at least not as bad as Bush. You rgenius speaks for itself. :birgits_giggle:
Maybe you and VK can start your own website about why Bush sucks so much. Why do you think he does? 'Cause you heard it on tv?
And going back to the genius comment, your posts about anything from taxes to Iraq speaks volumes.

In terms of percentage, what do you think would be a good guess as to what you have saved in taxes under Bush?
Uh, no because maybe global warming is an agenda? I don't have to look on the internet for that. Try again.
The question still stands....there is a ton of misinformation out there - and red herrings galore. Just because some latch onto something with an agenda in mind doesn't necessarily discredit the issue. For example, do you think that sugar cane farmers want everyone to know about the recent studies that revealed the damaging effects of corn-based ethanol? Yes. Do the sugar cane growers have an agenda - sure...they want to sell their product. Does this make the "fact" (if you buy the science) that corn ethanol is not good any less true...of course not. Certain people take science and will use it to support their agenda...but that doesn't mean the science is completely wrong .. or any less right. Will there be people who still push corn ethanol and produce studies to say why the scientists that say it is bad are wrong? Sure.....there always are...
I normally dont delve into politics with people because many make it an emotional issue and use their heart instead of their head to feel instead of think. I don't want someone leading my nation who feels instead of thinks.
As far as taxes goes there are Supply siders on both sides of the aisle. JFK believed in cutting taxes as he saw it. The more money people have in their hands the more they will invest and spend. To punish achievement and award those who have will NEVER take a country forward. GWB nor either of these clowns running this time have as much pull on taxes and governing the nation as the leaders of the House and Senate.
If you want examples of Fiscal conservatives on either side here you go.
House Dem- Lincoln Davis TN
House Repub- Zack Wamp TN

For me - I'm seeing about 1% or so more in take home pay.
The cap gains rate doesn't affect me directly since I'm not buying and selling appreciating assets (putting it away for retirement).
However, I'm generally against raising the cap gains rate since it will likely reduce revenue and raises the cost of capital to businesses that are attempting to grow (employ more people, etc.).
Google the term "Laffer Curve". Increased tax rates don't necessarily yield increased revenue.
Pssst................... remember it is not global warming any more......
IT IS CLIMATE CHANGE......
Yeah after it was shown that 1998 was the warmest year and we have been cooling some since. What I find funny is a while back Gore was pushing for high gas prices because it would "force us to use less", now that we have these prices in the same range he stated would be good left wingers are calling for big oils head. Amazing.
