SEE…TAX CUTS WORK!
Have you heard the news? Those tax cuts that George Bush gave to all his rich friends worked! The recent White House announcement about better-than-expected tax revenues has liberals cyring in thier granola. Why? Because America is actually better off and a better America won’t help in the upcoming elections.
President Bush announced that tax revenues were better than expected and the deficit was lower than expected. All thanks to a booming economy that was fueled, in part, by the Bush tax cuts. Doesn’t that sound like good news to you? Well see if you can find a positive comment by any liberal about this astounding news. That’s what it is, astounding. Consider the following undisputable facts.
When George Bush took office, the economy was tanking. That is a fact, the numbers show it.
We were attacked in our economic heart on 9/11. A fact.
We are fighting a war of revenge against that attack and to rid the earth of the scourge of Islamofacist terrorism. A fact.
Florida, then New Orleans and Mississippi’s Gulf Coast were ravaged by hurricanes. A fact.
The price of oil has tripled. A fact.
AND IN SPITE OF THESE CHALLENGES….
George Bush cut taxes, the economy started booming and the government is bringing in record amounts of tax revenues.
DAMN THAT BUSH AND HIS LIES….
How much longer do we have to debate the success of supply side, trickle down, economics. It works, everytime it’s tried and when the opposite is policy, raising taxes and more government control, we suffer.
Kennedy slashed taxes and the 60’s economy boomed.
Johnson raised taxes and the 70’s economy busted.
Reagan slashed taxes and the 80’s-90-’s economy boomed.
Clinton raised taxes and sent the economy into a tailspin.
Bush inherited the Clinton economy, slashed taxes and…..
Hello! Does anybody notice a pattern here. Yes, it is over simplified and many other factors played a roll in determining the fate of the economy, but time and time again lower taxes translate into more money in the private economy which means more jobs and more tax revenues for the government to conduct it’s business.
YES BUT THE TAX BREAKS FAVOR THE RICH…..
Okay, let’s get out the crayons and do the math. If Johnny has 10 apples and Mary has 2 and I take away half Johnny’s apples and half of Mary’s apples….who got the biggest cut in apples? That rich bastard Johnny, thats who? He must know Karl Rove. OF COURSE TAX BREAKS FAVOR THE RICH. THEY PAY MORE IN TAXES!
In fact, the wealthiest 1% of Americans pay more than 34% of ALL TAXES. Let me repeat that. 1% of Americans pay 34% of the taxes. If we’re going to cut taxes, they’re going to keep more money because they’re paying more, but it’s what they do with their money that makes the difference. They start business, hire people, create jobs, invest in the stock market, and generally do things that help create more tax payers.
In spite of all the evidence I had to LAL (thats laugh at liberals) when Nancy Pelosi told the Wall Street Journal recently that if she became Speaker of the House, she would see to it that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy were rolled back.
Good idea Nancy….

You must get your information exclusively from conservative (i.e., distorted) sources. The numbers actually clearly contradict your view. Here is an alternative view published by Warren Buffett, the second wealthiest man in the US. He challenges all of your main economic points. I will let Warren speak for us since he has already so clearly articulated the situation. see this article. cut and past with no spaces.

Let’s be clear here. You are celebrating the fact that this year’s short-fall for tax revenues was only $296 billion. That is an improvement over last year’s shortfall of $318 billion. Under Clinton, who worked in cooporation with a republican congress, the revenue shortfalls were $0. You must understand that revenue shortfalls do not translate into tax cuts over the long haul. They are temporary - like charging them on a credit card. They must be paid back with interest. Currently WE owe $8.4 trillion. Each individual owes $28,125 toward the payoff of that debt. We spent the money and someone has to pay the credit card bill. The debt has grown faster under the Bush regime than at any other time in US history. Recall that under Clinton, revenues were greater than expenditures. So your theory is not supported by the data. The $300-400 billion spent so far on the Iraq invasion could have been fruitfully invested in ways that enhance the quality of life of Americans rather than destroying a foreign country and destabilizing the middle east (and creating world-wide sympathy for jihad movements). Throughout US history the deal has always been that the poor would sacrific their childrens’ lives for our wars and the rich would pay for the wars. The poor are living up to their side of the deal in Iraq. The rich have only grown richer as a result of the war. The middle class will end up more than their share, relative to their war-related profits, of the tab for the war.

You may laugh at liberals but I mourn for you because your souls are empty and your curiousity has dried up. You are, as a group, the great tragedy of our generation.
Jack Antilla Says: July 16th, 2006 at 10:46 pm
Buck, your quagmire about D.C is statisticly higly inaccurate.
First off your only counting american soldiers in Iraq that are dying, not the large number of bystandards cought in the crossfire, or the people that die in sectarian violence. 6 soldiers may die in a car bomb but that carbomb most likely killed up to 30 people, some can kill upwards of 70.
second you have to adjust washington D.C’s population to that of iraq, just because fewer people die there doesn’t mean much because it’s a smaller area with less people. you have to adjust D.C’s population to fit that of Iraq, THEN see if it’s safer.
next time you want to pull a statistic do it right.
Jack Antilla Says: July 16th, 2006 at 10:49 pm

Jack, you’re comment about the statistics is right on. However, I find it hilarious that people even would think to look up a statistic like that to see if DC is safer than Iraq. When you live in a big city, you accept certain risks, like being mugged, raped, etc. but I can guarantee you that you don’t have to worry about hitting a road side bomb when you are driving your car. You don’t have to worry about someone driving a car into your favorite coffee shop when you are there. Those statistics don’t account for all the post traumatic stress that our soldiers have to endure. They don’t account for the fact that they risk becoming ill from the depleted uraniumn used in our munitions. If someone asked me if I would rather live in DC or Iraq, I wouldn’t need to look up the numbers, it’s a no brainer.
blynch Says: July 23rd, 2006 at 6:17 pm
Sorry to post off topic, but the “quagmire, time to pull out” topic was closed and I probably won’t make it back here soon since I’m too busy working a second job since our economy is so booming. Just because the deficit is under what was projected, that doesn’t mean the economy is doing great, it could just mean the projection was bad. After all, the fourth highest deficit ever is nothing to brag about. Guess who had the top three highest also. Yup, that would be dubbaya. You conservatives must all be Richie Rich kidz, because I don’t personally know anyone who is not worse off in this economy than they were before Bush took office. The disconnect y’all share with the president is amazing. BTW, you can’t just say “oh, we are at war” and have that justify everything. This war could have been managed so much more efficiently. Large sums of missing cash, no-bid contracts (recently done away with) to Haliburton and other contractors who completely rape us all. I sugguest you read a book called “Take the Rich off Welfare” by Mark Zepezauer and Arthur Naiman. This will give you an idea of the kind of wastefull spending that goes on by our military. This book is dated, so Clinton gets slammed plenty, so I am sure y’all will love it.
kolran Says: July 24th, 2006 at 12:06 am
I have said it once and I’ll say it again. I would have loved to see Hillary or Al Gore deal with 9/11, Alquida, the war in Afghanastan, Hurrican Katrina, 101 false aqusitions, and the middle east version of WWII. I think Hillary would have given her husband office. I think Al Gore would have bombed the North Pole, claimed that the glaciers were melting, and then went begging to his secrataries to fix everything.
kolran Says: July 24th, 2006 at 12:15 am
At least Hillary will have the Arabs and the muslims voting for her. You guys, I know you are scared because the terrorists mass produce the car bomb, but we can’t back out. We made a choice during WWII. To be involved in national matters before they got so bad we had to sacrifice all our yound men to stop the evil. We can’t be reduced to a bunched of whinning hippies like we were during the Vietnam war. (That’s why 9/11 happened, they wanted that result). We can’t put our tail between our legs because we suffer a few casualties. We have to fight this out.
P.S. See the move September 11th
P.S.S. More men died in one Roman Battle then all of the U.S. Casualties during the Vietnam war.
blynch Says: July 24th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Yeah, I would have loved to see how Al Gore would have reacted to those events as well, but since Bush stole the election we will never get that chance, will we? I didn’t vote for the man and probably never will, but at least he is doing something about global warming besides continue to dish out subsidies to the coal and oil industries for more of the same.
It’s easy for you to sit behind you’re computer and say that you aren’t scared of the terrorists and that we need to stay the course, but then again you aren’t in harms way are you? You also assume that the only reason I want to see a pull out (which I do, but I never said that either) is because our men are in danger. Actually, the main reason I want us to leave is because our presence there has made things worse for the Iraqis, our soldiers, and us at home. We have completely lost our morals in desperation to win a war that can’t be won militarily. Our freedoms and rights are being taken to fight this war on terror, and our tactics are adding fuel to the flames of extremism, not making us safer. To say that we need to stay and fight it out implies that victory is around the corner, when infact the only thing I see around the corner is more war. I don’t think you realize how we are seen in the world. This whole we’ll kill’em all mentality virtually guarantees war with Iran, Syria, Pakistan … Do you really want to see WWIII.
Yes, we are intervening in foreign matters, but not always in the most moral, or efficient way.
kolran Says: July 25th, 2006 at 5:52 pm
Blynch,
I was not exactly directing me counter attack towards you, but since you want to debate…
You are right I am sitting behind my computer, but so are you. If you were one of the Iraqi citizens before and during the war your story would be entirely different. From what I read you have been listening to the pessimists on the TV way too much. We ARE helping people. If you can honestly say you were subject to inhumane experimentation while under Saddams rule; then I will not argue with you. What is your twisted version of the right, and ‘moral’, thing to do. Let them kill each other and millions of innocent people. Let them develope the nuculear bomb and destroy millions of innocent people. Or drop the nuclear bomb on them! (This would not go over well with NATO). You are VERY selfish to state that americans are more important than other people around the world. You said we are giving up our freedoms? What, the high price of gas? In some countries they don’t even have gas. If we were having a draft I would be against the war, but we are not. There won’t be a WWIII. And if there is a great war… there will be no one left to name it.
kolran Says: July 25th, 2006 at 5:54 pm

I honestly don’t think you need a second job. Go to polotics1.com, click on Employment, then click on the link to TheLadders.com.
blynch Says: July 27th, 2006 at 3:23 pm
Actually, I don’t get my news from TV. I get most of my news from Democracy Now, I’ve found them to be one step ahead of everyone and hardly ever wrong. And of course I do listen to liberal talk radio as well as conservative talk radio.
Just because the Iraqi’s had it bad under Sadam doesn’t mean that they really want to be occupied by the U.S. If they did, there would be no insurgency.
I wasn’t talking about gas prices when I was talking about rights. I was talking about very basic rights that we all enjoy that are being destroyed. Many of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are being held for years without even being charged for a crime or even being told what they are suspicious of. In this country you have the right to due process. You also had the right to privacy, but now if you are likely to be spied upon for even being involved in anti-war groups.
If I was really so selfish I probably wouldn’t be here talking to you since the Iraq war does not directly effect me (aside from watching my tax dollars go towards this illegal occupation). I never said that Americans are more important than other people around the globe. I don’t know where you got that, I already explained why I want to pull out of Iraq. Gotta go, late for work.
blynch Says: July 28th, 2006 at 3:59 am
And you’re right, I was being melodramatic. I do work about 40 hrs during the week (I used to work more but that business is slow because of the economy, seriously) and then do a paper route during the weekend (about 8 hrs) in addition to being in a band and running a small independent record label/distro, (which I don’t consider either of the last two jobs since they are my passion and do them whether I make money or lose money) but I obviously have some spare time. You’re right, I could just get a better job (there was no “the ladders” link at the site you gave me). The point is that I had to pick up that second job just to pay my mortgage which I comfortably was able to pay before without the route, and I know that I am not alone.
I hope you are right, that we are helping people, I just don’t see it. Nobody wants their country ravaged by war. Don’t get me wrong, I do recognize the dangers of Islamic theorcracy, but I also see some of those dangers coming close to home (and not in the form of terrorist attacks).
kolran Says: July 28th, 2006 at 6:51 pm
The insurgency does not want us there, yes. However, they are not the general public. They are fighting for a screwed up religion and a screwed up leader. The general public lives in fear of them and that’s why we are there. Okay, so you get your news from the computer it’s still the media. If you were actualling in Israel, Afhgahnastan, or Iraq your viewpoint would be much different. You are being niave and selfish by saying, “Our freedoms and rights are being taken to fight this war on terror.” That is not a fact. I figured that was complaining about gas prices, but I guess I was wrong. You were talking about the rights of people who raped, murdered, and stole. Or watched all this happened and did nothing about it. And, yes, I completely agree with spying on anti-war groups that use car bombs to protest. You listen to liberal talk radio way to much. And sure, you get credit for being late for work.
If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

I have a comment to add to post #9. You CANNOT say Bush’s terms were easy. He is apparently under alot of stress.

If anyone here thinks they could have done a better job I will look for you in the elections.
blynch Says: July 29th, 2006 at 1:06 am
The Pentagon released a document showing that they have spied on student anti-war groups at U.C. Santa Clara, NYU law school, and some state universities in New York. They have also been accused of spying on quakers and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. These aren’t car-bombers, or terrorists, these are peaceful protesters. We all remember the librarians complaining about library records being monitored. The point is that the line between someone who is considered a terrorist and someone who just disagrees with this administrations policies is thinning. As far as detainees at Guantanamo Bay, yes I am concerned about their rights, considering most of them haven’t even been charged with a crime. I wouldn’t want our soldiers being abused in that manner, we should have higher standards.
It’s great to be concerned about civilians in other countries, I am also concerned about them, but can you please explain to me exactly how this war has helped them? If you are concerned about the innocent suffering, I hope you have called your represenative and asked them to cosponser Kucinich’s resolution HconRes 450 for the support of an immediate cease fire in the current Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. Sorry I tend to get waaayyy off topic sometimes.
blynch Says: July 29th, 2006 at 1:27 am
Yes, Bush has had an incredibly tough term, but a lot of that stress he has brought on himself. He is a controversial war-time president, and quite radical. Many republicans even try to distance themselves from him. That makes him an easy target for the media, but also difficult for the media to pander to.
We can argue about whether the mainstream media is too liberal or too conservative for ever and not get anywhere. Yes, they have been highly critical of Bush, but they also let a lot of outrageous stuff slide. When you are in competition with other media outlets, you can’t just ignore a story that everyone else is reporting on or you will lose your audience. I don’t know if the stuff they let slide is just them beeing lazy or inattentive, or if they are just trying not to offend sponsors, or if they are biased. I think we can all agree that the mainstream media is generally terrible and should not be anyone’s primary source for news.
As far as the liberal radio, it just vibes with me more. I listen to Rush and can just tell when he is being dishonest, or leaving something out, or just factualy wrong. Today he was talking about the bombing of the UN observers in Lebanon and I was just waiting for him to mention that they contacted the Isreali military 10 times to warn them of their already clearly marked position. He never did (or at least didn’t mention that before I had to stop listening). He just sells fear and hate, he sounds like he is giving pep talks for war. I am not naive, I know that the liberal radio has an objective and can be one-sided, but it seems like they are more honest and thorough. And I say that as someone who doesn’t consider himself a liberal (otherwise I probably wouldn’t be on this site).

So, let me get this straight. You, unlike me, have something to hide from the government and want them totally out of your bussiness. In addition you want the government to get involved in otherpeople’s bussiness. (the conflict in hisbola) America is suppose to protect a country who is supported by the same country that supports the country we are at war with?

Up until the last paragraph that was an excelent argument. A perfect example would be McCane. He had different oppinions (yet, not liberal opinions) than George Bush and he gained alot of support. He later agreed with bush on one small topic and caught all kinds of [removed by editor] from that. He might still have a shot at president though. As for liberal radio, it’s there job to make you think they’re being honest. (this could probably be said about every one ever involved in the media, polotics, ect..)
kolran Says: August 7th, 2006 at 5:16 am
Blynch I do agree with your general idea though. It would be nice if the world was perfect. I live in the 8th best spot in the U.S. (the best nation on eart) according to some family magaziine, and there is someone murdered every 1.5 days. It is sad.
blynch Says: August 7th, 2006 at 11:24 pm
I shouldn’t have anything to hide, I am not a criminal, a terrorist, I am proud to be a political dissenter. It is pretty scary when political dissent, a freedom that has distinguished our country from the whole world, is beginning to be criminalized. Attacks against the free press, war protesters on terrorist lists, etc. I guess I don’t expect you to know what I am talking about, but I know that many organizations that I affiliate with that I consider non-violent, positive, peacefull groups are considered highly suspect in the government’s eyes simply because they don’t agree with them politically (greenpeace, rainbow hippies, just being an anarchist, etc.).
BTW hisbola is not a country, but I assume that is a typo and you know that.
There are times when you must part from whatever political ideology you have to deal with a situation. Yes, I don’t believe in intervening in other country’s affairs for the most part, mostly because it seems either for the wrong reasons, or ineffective. In this instance, I feel the fact that many civilians on both sides are dying takes prescedence over politics. This is an emergency.
blynch Says: August 7th, 2006 at 11:51 pm
Do we have an obligation to protect the citizens of Lebanon? Yes. Many of the bombs that Israel is mis-using we manufactured right here in the U.S. of A. If this was a legitimate conflict, than maybe it would be none of our business. However, war crimes are being committed. Civilians are dying. U.S. companies are profiting. The least we could do is make that prick John Bolton agree that a cease-fire is necessary. Maybe you conservative are right, maybe the U.S. should get out of the U.N. if all we are going to do is be obstructionists.
kolran Says: August 8th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
The thing is Israel will eventually use up it’s missles, and then Syria will blow that little country of the face of the earth. Then we will be forced to defend Israel.

Well, I am afraid that Iran and Syria will get tied into this conflict, in which case we will be forced to be directly involved. If they are guilty of arming Hezbollah, then we are guilty of arming Israel. That’s how World Wars start. It would be tragic if all of this happened when it could have been avoided witht some simple diplomacy.
WRHiggins SGT Says: August 12th, 2006 at 4:40 pm
Kolran,
In response to your post #31, what happened to Jack: take a look at the posts on Fingers or wires crossed and I think you will see that he was purporting to be an SME (Subject Matter Expert) and was contradicting himself to the point that his posts were immaterial.I surmise that he has avoided the site out of embarrassment. However I would like to put out there that I value and respect his opinions even though I disagreee with 99.9% of them, his input is important. I just wish he could have argued on his own merits rather than pretend to be something he is not. And I don’t necessarily mean important in the way a hay target is important to one who enjoys target practice.
kolran Says: August 15th, 2006 at 11:03 pm

Joy Says: August 16th, 2006 at 8:57 pm
“…No one likes a liar”…actually no one likes to be lied to, right? Considering the fact that probably 99.99% of humanity has lied at least once (I only know for sure of One Who hasn’t), that doesn’t leave many to like. I wasn’t sure what Jack would say in response to Sgt. Higgins or myself, but I was surprised when he ‘left’ (unless he’s also posing as someone else - as others have on this blog).
Misrepresentation to the extent that he (and a Leftist blogger here who did that, seemingly much more)isn’t a good idea. It doesn’t help either side, the one(s) misrepresenting themself(ves) or the ones they’re addressing.
Hopefully we’ll cut the crap and get to the chase of the issues - on all sides.

Do I get a prize for hunting down the comment I made that pushed your “POP” button? After the scavenger hunt, I think I’ve located the comment, and what’s to answer? You seem apoplectic about what I meant regarding ‘Jack’; why?
I was one of at least 2 on this blog who zeroed in on ‘Jack’ for an ongoing misrepresentation of his/her ‘job’, but was still interested in his/her opinion…as him/herself - whoever that may be. My last sentence in that post pretty much sums up my thoughts at the time:
“Hopefully we’ll cut the crap and get to the chase on the issues…”
And, try a little civility and patience. Sheesh! Is ‘jack’ a major issue in the world today that will cause major chaos if you don’t get an answer to your question? Get off what ever it is that has you wound so tight and lighten way up, wouldja?

Oh, and by the way, thanks for making me irrelivant (I am going to take this opportunity to call you a couple names since you are ruining are country) you dimwitted, good for nothing, chest pounding, idealist.

the reason why countries have taxes is to pay for the country’s needs. tax cuts take away financial sources and so does a war paid for purely by the government. bush is diverting funds from transportation to pay for iraq. pawlenty vetoed a gas tax raise that pays for the roads. the war in iraq will cost one trillion dollars. and now bush is blaming democrats for the lack of money that his tax cuts are responsible for.
we need taxes, how much greed does it take to neglect your fair share of keeping america stable? valuable infrostructures are left in poor conditions with no money to pay for repairs. its a “get what you paid for” deal.
republicans can tought the stock market, low unemployment and spending as successes of tax cuts, but what about intigral needs that the country has? america has become way too materialistic and the widdening gap between the rich and the poor shows the money is in the wrong place. what is so scary about sharing the wealth more evenly? its not socialism if its done effectively. but i guess greed is something republicans can rally for and then when a tragedy occurs, they blame democrats. pathetic.

“we need taxes…” Now that’s what I like, someone who’s honest. Let’s all agree to immediately divert all defense spending to transportation!

i don’t know if that was sarcasm or a serious thought, but if its sarcasm emory needs to cut the bullsh*t. hyperbole is a tool of republicans to stir up emotion. bush is doing it right now to ratchet up fear to expand his intelligence power. and emory seems to think that its either the status quo or all the money goes to transportation.
the fact is that many of our roads and bridges were built in the fifties and need repair. yet bush takes money away to spend on a pointless war. oh, but i forgot that iraq was going to pay for itself and america would get cheaper gas (thats sarcasm).

the whole spying thing, wouldn’t it be safe to say that would be terrorist would find refuge or support in anti war, anti govt groups. not saying i agree with spying but to a certain extent i will give up some privacy to maintain my safety in my own country. i would rather have them spying to hopefully catch potential suspects then not spy and have my neighbor blow up my kids school. i’d rather be safe than sorry.

nutslikebush..You said:
“The debt has grown faster under the Bush regime than at any other time in US history.”
Actualy the greatest increase in Debt (as compared to the GDP) was during Regan Bush Sr. rule (35% - 70%) Clinton droped it from 70% to 60% but Bush Jr. is predicted to raise it up 70 or 75%.
Do The Math:
300,000,000 Americans 8.5 Trillion in Debt

You pollute both the earth and the culture with lies, greed, and fear mongering. Your a coward too because you use lies to make profit at the expense of other peoples lives. You are truly lost in you own self righteousness.

“Since I am responsible for 90% of your site hits, I suppose that I am just enabling your psychopathology and generating the only profit you could possibly be making by hosting this site. Therefore, in the interest of helping my fellow man, I am bidding you all farewell.”
Well I think your right….I think from now on I’m, just going to blog on the Daily Kos….or Mother Jones……

Let me recommend Dan Carlin’s site and his “Common Sense” and “Hard Core History” podcasts. They are totally non-partisan and his blogs are much more sane and sober than any other site I have seen. Good luck.
