There was absolutely no surplus of money when Clinton was in office. They say they will cut here and there and viola the budget is balanced because we won't spend as much in the future. The fact is we still owed billions that needed to be paid off. Of course they also did not curb spending so the deficit rose. Both parties are responsible. Our corporations pay one of the highest tax rates in the world. The absolutely pay taxes and anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron. Let me educate you, there is no such thing as anything funded by the federal government. No government has money so no government can fund anything. Governments extort money from people who work and produce and then tey redistribute that money. If you are using a road you are using one that was paid for, or funded, by taxpayers, not the government. We got by very well prior to the income tax being instituted so why do we need so much now? Because 70% of our budget goes to pay for unconstitutional social welfare programs. Stop taking money and redistributing it through social ponzi schemes and we will have all the things we need. But I don't expect you to understand. Chris, obviously you failed in school.

The fact is that under "conservative Republicans" we ended up with huge deficits and under Clinton we had billions in surplus. Republicans pretend to be for small government, then enlarge it dramatically to serve their corporate handlers. Even mainstream news noted recently (and this has almost always been the case)that most corporations pay very little or nothing in taxes because they have the power to manipulate the fiscal policy at the top in every major industry. Under conservatives, infrastructures crumble and even programs that work go down the drain because they are essentially Social Darwinists. Let's just not tax at all and have fun traveling on interstate highways, eating unregulated food, etc etc! Those who are against taxes should just not use anything that is funded by the Federal, state and local government. Just be self-sufficient folks! Go live with the Amish--but don't use the roads and forget WEst Nile Virus vaccine for your horses. Conservatives are just ludicrous. And no I'm not a liberal. I'm a democratic socialist, views that are firmly grounded in Catholic social teaching about taking care of the poor. Conservative drivel.

They were not the greatest band ever. They were OK singers but not great, just better than average. Not to say i don't like their music though some of it is goofy (probably influenced by drug use). I Toby Keith as well as other country singers, I like rock, heavy metal, and I like classical music. I even like some rap music. I appreciate almost any music because I am thankful that I can hear it (mostly). I would however, prefer to listen to talk radio. Yep, moderately. They were not the greatest band ever.

You were taxed on the money you used to buy the stock and then on the profit from the stock. The government did not do a damned thing to earn the money but they take it. As for quoting the Beatles, no they were by no means conservative. They were actually moderately talented, drug using liberal twits. However, it is amazing how quickly liberal twits write songs crying about taxes when they actually have to pay a lot of them. The Beatles were not conservative but this song certainly is. Mr. Music,

I do find it interesting when conservatives quote the Beatles though. The Beatles were certainly not conservatives :) I know they'd be supporting Barack Obama today. I assume Paul & Ringo are, of course they are UK citizens... so there ya go ;) The stat about more than half of Americans owning stock is somewhat misleading as most Americans that own stock own it in a 403K and would not be effected by the capital gains increase.

How about we make everyone who voted for those spending our money in China and taxing us to death pay all the taxes?
