Ted Nugent: Louie Gohmert voice of sanity in face of insane government spending

Well Ted, Obama is not into tax cuts. A tax cut is a socialist handout on a one time basis to the fools that voted for him.

I figure within two weeks after the grand coronation, the Bush tax cuts will be stripped and those “tax cuts” to the middle class will go too. Clinton did it and so will Obama.

After all, we have to sacrifice for the good of all. /s

[demshateGod]

Neal Boortz had a great column about this too. I can’t find it.

[jag.drafting]

Ted Nugent is my Republician super hero!

[dforest]

I like Ted too. He is wrong about Obama and real tax cuts though.

[JubJub]

I would like Ted Nugent to put his money where his mouth is! Come on Ted, make a run for Governor of Michigan!!!

[exnavy]

This idea will surely fall on deaf ears, the tax and spend party is back in town.

A tax cut is a socialist handout on a one time basis to the fools that voted for him.

Care to elaborate?

Are you saying that tax cuts are socialist handouts or are you saying that what Bronco Bomber is calling a tax cut is, in fact, just a socialist handout on a one time basis to the fools that voted for him.

the kind of independent Texan who makes the Nugent family proud to be residents of the last best place in the last best place

I thought Ted and his family were legal residents of Michigan? Isn't his ranch in Texas vacation property?

If you had some land in TX, would you remain a resident of MI?

[LibLieSlayer]

Ted is one GREAT American!

What you said is what I meant and I thought I said that.

I will do better next time! LOL

[deadrock]

It would be hypocritical of the ‘he can do no wrong’ Bush-bots to critize any Democrat bailouts after watching Bush and his socialist tendencies.

[Dudoight]

Gohmert is my congressman. He is a great guy. I hope he gets more ‘notice’.

[Dixie Yooper]

If you had some land in TX, would you remain a resident of MI?

As soon as Texas enters it's 9 month brown season, I would be very happy I still have my land in Michigan to return to. I also remember hearing that Ted is a deputy sheriff in his home(Michigan)town.

“I would like Ted Nugent to put his money where his mouth is! Come on Ted, make a run for Governor of Michigan!!!”

Ted moved to Texas.

This “two-month tax holiday” is the most hare-brained idea I’ve seen in awhile. IN FACT, all it is is a one-sixth tax cut for the year 2009. That’s fine, as far as it goes. But because it’s TEMPORARY, it’s not a supply-side tax cut. Economically, it’s exactly the same as mailing out checks or printing up money and dumping it from helicopters. It would accomplish NOTHING GOOD.

What’s really appalling is how many “conservatives” have been touting this crazy, destructive idea.

Just CUT TAX RATES PERMANENTLY, or BETTER YET:

Repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish the IRS.

[slowhandluke]

Yes, the one-time tax cut is not the best idea. But it's better than throwing the next $350 billion at the fat cats.

We threw the first 350 billon at the banks, but we still have a problem with the 350 billion in bad mortgages.

Had we given the money to the putative home owners, the homeowners would be in their homes, the banks would have the cash to lend elsewhere, and the gov't would be out $350B.

Now, the gov't is out 350B, the homeowners are still facing bankruptcy, the banks are still going under.

Think of the tax holiday as an 'Indian Summer', a last chance to store something up for the hard times sure to come under Obama.

I wish he would, too. But, I think he enjoys his present residence way too much to move back to Michigan. However, his columns are always a treat.
