I'd like John Bohner to explain how tax cuts for the rich whom don't need it, and take money out of the poor will create more revenue.
How will slashing jobs create more jobs. I'd like for Bohner to explain how many jobs the Bush tax cuts DID create more revenue and jobs. I'd like Bohner to expalin how outsourcing jobs, record spending on the military will create more jobs and more revenue.
Todays GOP is what Thomas Jefferson warned about...
What drives me crazy is the media portrays the Dems as the other side. Let's say we are trying to get to 100 on an issue. The Repub's start out at -15,972. The Dems come back with 2. We end up at -10,989 and the Rep scream bloody murder, Socialism, Communism.... The Dems come back with how hard they fought, to make sure the Rep. didn't get everything they wanted.
@conspiracy777 It's called taxes. You don't make $ without using the Commons. You can't get your products to market without public roads, electricity, natural resources, without an educated workforce.... No body gets rich on their own. The richer you are the more public resources you use, the more you pay. If they can't put a 27th bathroom in their 14th summer home because their taxes paid for 10 teachers' salaries, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to loose sleep over that.
@Leadman1989 What kind of comment is that? Jesus spoke to individuals. He doesn't save governments, and He didn't DIE for a government. He died for you, me, and every other person, and He wants people to be free to give freely. Not be compelled at the barrel of a gun. Taxes are not charity! It's not the government's role to do the work of the church (people). Taxes are slavery. It's much easier and cheaper for me to walk across the street to help my neighbor.
So was Jesus in favor of a laissez faire, "capitalist" oligarchy where the feudal lords could dictate the terms even if the terms are social injustice? Did Jesus speak against taxes whatsoever?
Did Jesus "church" founded by Paul based on social justice? How many people have the pope healed by himself? How many people have the pope feed from the riches of the Vatican?Jesus didn't due for anyone! The whole thing is a myth. It's just an excuse for feeble minds to not take responsibility
My question was directed at your claims about Jesus, and how you falsely claim that taxes are theft.
Taxes are theft as long as GOP is in power, taking from the poor to give the rich tax cuts, subsidies to oil companies that pollute the planet, illegal wars as such.
If any was out of touch was the claim about Jesus and your claims that churches should take care of the disenfranchised. How many poor people have Pat Robertson helped in his dealings with diamond mines in African dictatorships?
@mipoleon Libertarianism is a joke. It doesn't work on paper, or in real life. In this country the libertarian push is led by Corp. interests that simple want a free reign. Capitalism can only work with a strong government to control the abuses of those that have no other interest than $.
@veggiescrub You don't know your facts sir. Corporations are a collectivist institutions where groups of people can make individual profit without individual responsibility. The libertarian faction of the republican party is the only group on the right that I have seen that regularly speaks out against corporate welfare. Corporations were severely limited at Americas (Classical Liberals=Libertarians) founding because the founders understood the negative effects they had on economy & gvrnmnt.
@veggiescrub Regarding capitalism and state controls. Capitalism is a system of voluntary exchange, the State is an agency of control through coercion. So to have State Capitalism would be to have a system that coerces voluntary exchange which is a contradiction. America is not capitalist and never really has been capitalist. The Central Bank bailouts for the centrally planned banking industry came because the regulations which you advocate gave them the power to do it.
gov.has always been the tool of the biggest thieves and killers. the socialist entitlement programs were based on non-reality from the beginning, especially when the long ago robbed the funds to use for other things. They will continue to print paper money and most people are so slow on the uptake they don't figure it out. get out of the U.S. dollar.
@666sigma What sucks even more are the thieving, traitorous war profiteers, the military industrial wheeler dealers that abscond with hundreds of billions each and every years in the incessant parade of boondoogles and fake accounting.
Really well done!

What exactly do you think a Government is? it's people coming together it's also called a SOCIETY you couldn't walk across that street without TAXES
Jesus said it's easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle he wants you poor as his follower isn't that what you should adhere to?
