Ah, yes, Bob Dole - the senator from Archer Daniels Midland.
F you, forehead Commie.
I guess Lawrence King, the gay 8th grader, wasn't murdered by a classmate in California, a blue state.
A terror bombing wasn't attempted at a MLK march in Washington, a blue state.
Eco-terrorists didn't engage in 17 attacks causing $23 million in damages in Oregon, a blue state.
A bombing didn't happen at a Federal Courthouse in California, a blue state.
Or a terror plot to bomb one in Washington, a blue state.
We could go on for weeks. I covered a few of the cases I recall here out West. It doesn't begin to scratch the surface of what's happened in utopian blue states.
The cases he mentioned reached the "national consciousness" because of they fit a template, the fit his the narrative of evil in red states and peaceful paradise in blue.
It makes it sound like a passive thing. They are so great at changing words to push agendas.
Please don't throw me in that briar patch!Tax rates are already so high that the revenue doesn't increase, and probably actuallydeclines, when tax rates are increased.
When the topic is revenue rather than "fairness" or "tax cuts for the 'rich'," the actual history of the revenue booms due to the Mellon, Kennedy, and Reagan tax rate cuts has to be on the table.
Tax rates are for the government just what prices are for businesses - subject to supply and demand. Look at the advertisements, and how often do you see banner headlines boasting about price cuts! Do liberals go all doey-eyed over the public spiritedness of businesses when they conduct sales campaigns?
When they talk about "revenue," what do they say when you point out that they have already overpriced their product?
