    The plans submitted from both sides fail to mention (and most fail to realize) that they are propsing "cuts" to a baseline that adds trillions to thte debt over the next 10 years. They aren't really cuts at all, they are just a little less of an increase. Its political spin at its finest.

    Now hold on amigo, you have been popping off for a while now that barry came in and saved the day, turned everything around because he listened to his Generals, put the right people in the right places and that is why we had success. So they either failed or they didn't? Which is it?


    If the new and improved TF would allow us to post a picture without an act of congress I'd post one of a crawfish for you right here :D

    Obviously they failed under Bush but succeeded under Obama. Duh.

    Not to mention failed bailouts by Obama, a failed trillion dollar stimulus, a healthcare plan that we can't afford and nobody wants and a massive debt that's increasing by the minute.

    Try to address points that I've actually made, Dude? You are arguing with yourself.

    What I'm saying is that it's chickenshizt to raise taxes on someone when you allow others to pay nothing at all. Try everyone paying taxes before you raise them on anyone else. Hell, there are millions of people who turn a profit on taxes because of credits and deductions. You want to raise one mans taxes when you want to allow another man to make a profit off it. How's that social justice?

    The ones that pay nothing have nothing. They are mostly little old ladies who exist on social security and working single mothers feeding their kids with McDonalds paycheck. Taking anything from these people will increase their reliance on public assistance. We shouldn't be arguing to tax these people more. We should be arguing to tax everyone less.

    Republicans like to spout off about the class warfare card that Democrats play. They should look in the mirror, and Limbaugh talking point nonsense like what I quoted above is the prime example.

    I have never heard Limbaugh argue for a tax increase on people subsisting on Social Security or a "McDonald's paycheck." I've never heard Limbaugh argue for a tax increase on anyone. The closest you can get was during the debate over Bush's proposed across-the-board tax cuts. Libs cried that the cuts did nothing for the lowest wage earners. Limbaugh pointed out (correctly) that you can't cut taxes on people who are earning too little to be taxed to begin with.

    The only points you try to make are that Obama is right and everyone else is wrong.
