3rdnlng Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Don't quote me on this, but I believe it's "Taxed Enough Already"? Yes, but I was hoping Booster or lyrbob would answer. I should know better than expecting lyrbob to answer though. He's PPP's resident drive-by poster. He takes a shot and runs away and hides. I've been asking him for months to tell me what his expertise is in the real estate and mortgage industries (because of a statement he made pertaining to them) and he refuses because he knows I've got him by his camel toe.

pBills Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You are a tool if you think the wealthy politicians are going to make the tax code "fair" or raise taxes on the "rich" or get rid of exeptions. And we will help people through hard times, not let them sit on their porch and do nothing for a lifetime. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html I agree with that.. unless someone truly needs a handout or help. They shouldn't receive one, people do abuse the system. I have been saying all along moving tax rates back to where they were prior to the Bush Tax cuts would be a GREAT thing. I just wish Republicans could stand up to the Tea Party morons and let them know that Revenue IS going to have to addressed. Cutting spending is not the only answer... just part. Conservatives are more charitable than liberals. See for yourself. http://www.city-journal.org/html/rev2007-01-18hh.html Yet, their the same people saying cut back on all social programs, etc., etc. Things that truly matter in people's lives. Ok.

Peace Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Don't quote me on this, but I believe it's "Taxed Enough Already"? They stand for tea, as in the leaves of tea dumped into Boston Harbor. The same geniuses who brought you "Everyone iS a Panther faN" signs to Sunday Night Football also made a sign like you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pBills Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Charity doesn't count; people don't help people, only government helps people [/idiotic uber-liberal mantra] My point... Of course Charity counts. Charity also doesn't cover everything. Reforming social programs is fine, making them a bit stricter is fine. Cutting the programs down a ton helps no one. Now this leadership that should be banned from office. Just goes to show that they will tell you one thing (were not taking anything hostage) and yet they do another. Disgusting. McConnell Admits To Taking Debt Ceiling ‘Hostage’: It’s ‘Worth Ransoming’ | In a stunning bit of candor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) admitted in the Washington Post today that his party had taken the debt ceiling “hostage,” and that some of his colleagues were willing to “shoot[]” it: “I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting,” he said. “Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this — it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.” The Post added that McConnell “said he could imagine doing this again.” Indeed, he has promised he will do so.
