Oh hell just let ‘em raise taxes....the resulting 15% unemployment ought to be fun to watch Obama try to explain in October 2012.
The part that permits you to retain your testicles.
The problem is that the little people have too much money and freedom.
We on the left have a solution for that problem.
But the ignorant little people dare to fight us.
/sarc(?)
The blacks could be 100% unemployed, they’d still vote for him en masse.
This assumes the money not taken and spent by the government will not be spent by its rightful owners, the folks who earned it.
Well- there’s five minutes I’ll never get back. The author offers more straw men than you’d find in a million acres of corn.

I am at the point where I agree with you, i am prepared, I am ready, I am resourceful and smart, and I WILL survive.
Maybe we should adopt a stand of: “Let’s walk down the path of darkness together”
Because when we finally get to the light at the other side of the scary forest the socialist scum, and state sponsored leeches will have died off in the woods.
We ARE “Taxed Enough Already” and this is a barfbag article, but an abrupt 25% reduction of cash flow to the economy will lead to an economic meltdown.
But, but, they won’t spend it the right way! Plus, the malt liquor, cognac, small cigar and cigarette industries might collapse. Think of all those dope dealers with mouths to feed!
I'll let the left's favorite 'partisan democrat' address these items seriatim:
First: "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -- Thomas Jefferson
Second: "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy." AND "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." AND "I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." -- Thomas Jefferson
Third: "I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt." AND "I hope a tax will be preferred [to a loan which threatens to saddle us with a perpetual debt], because it will awaken the attention of the people and make reformation and economy the principle of the next election. The frequent recurrence of this chastening operation can alone restrain the propensity of governments to enlarge expense beyond income." -- Thomas Jefferson
So yes, I'm "guilty". I have "bought in" to the "partisan" Thomas Jefferson's "talking points". But better his than those of Barack Obama, George Soros, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Karl Marx, eh Mr. Numerian?.
They want to talk about rolling back to FY2000 percentage of GDP for the federal budget? I'm all for it. But they don't... The constant whine is that the rich keep getting richer.
Well, yes, stupid, they do. If I have a million dollars in the bank and invest only 100k of it during a year, even if you set capital gains at 100%, I'm still going to have a million dollars at the end of the year. But if there's little to no capital gains tax, there's more incentive for me to risk my money to try to make more. Either way, I'm still going to be the ‘rich getting richer’, but one way, you collapse investment, the other you expand it.
Time for these liberals to pony up a number. What percentage of the GDP should the federal government consume...?
We're waiting.
The Tea Party knows that to increase revenue by increasing taxes will cause a slow down of the recovery phase of the economy.
The way the “Tea Party” has been so kindly bandied about in media makes me think that there is a HUGE group of people that are quietly becoming more resolved to the idea that these people of the socialist left are just plain evil.
Unfortunately, seems that the socialist left has a lot of members that seem to squeal loudly and spin relentlessly in the game of control/politics.
Can politicians and pundits really get away with calling so many of us idiots and racists?
“There are two ways to get to a debt crisis – you either spend too much money or you don’t take in enough revenue.”
####
This clown is simply angling for a compromise, shuffling down the inevitable road to economic oblivion. And make no mistake there is no fast talking, obfuscation or politicking that is going to save us when the market-driven, economic hammer finally comes down.
There is PLENTY of revenue. Way too much in fact.
Spending at an utterly irresponsible, insane level is the ONLY problem and where ALL of the repair work needs to be directed.
“We ARE “Taxed Enough Already” and this is a barfbag article, but an abrupt 25% reduction of cash flow to the economy will lead to an economic meltdown.”
Let’s see, the federal government is borrowing 100 billion a month, so if the government stopped borrowing 100 billion a month cash flow would drop by 25%, well it seems to me that money put in treasuries is not going in to the economy or into products that people want, but is employing people that make rules to prevent you from exercising your economic freedom. It seems to me that that money would go into the productive economy.
Do I hear "2"?
money put in treasuries is not going in to the economy or into products that people want,
>> If the interest rate goes up (which of course it will from a ratings downgrade or default) taxpayers will be holding the bag for the higher rates of interest on treasuries, on top of the current debt.
It seems to me that that money would go into the productive economy.
>> Eventually, if there was anything left after the bankruptcies and riots. We need a systematic and continuous approach to spending reduction rather than an abrupt meltdown.
“The way the “Tea Party” has been so kindly bandied about in media makes me think that there is a HUGE group of people that are quietly becoming more resolved to the idea that these people of the socialist left are just plain evil.”
What do you _do_ with “evil”?
Do you compromise with it?
Again, what do you do with the evil?
Just wonderin’....
