During the Great Depression, Congress raised taxes sharply in the Revenue Act of 1932. The top rate went from 25% to 63%, as a result the real GDP dropped by 14% and unemployment rose from 16% to 24%.
In 1990 Bush broke his no new taxes pledge and raised the federal gasoline tax, federal excise taxes, and imposed 10% surtax on the top income bracket raising it to 31%. The recession which followed in 1991-1992 cost him re-election.
Its more complicated than you propose but you seem like the person who views the world as black or white, us vs. them.
Sorry but its more complex than that, this isnt the cold war.
We are currently fighting a war on an IDEA, not a nation-state. The war in Vietnam a war of ideology. So was Korea. We LOST Vietnam, and Korea was a stalemate.
Now tell me is it possible to win an ideological war? Also, those wars were against a nation state, our war on terrorism is against an ethnic group, arabs.
Whatever is left of the economy after the current round of crisis interventions by the Fed could go down the drain if Obama is elected and carries out his plans for sharp increases in taxation. Even if Obama does not understand the linkage, most Americans do and will turn sharply against Obama's tax plans if McCain hammers away at the risk they pose for us all.
So basically your AGREEING, that 8 years of a Republican administration has created a poor economy? OK great. If McCain is elected he will continue these poor economic policies and some how you talk shit about Obama's plans. This bailout is FASCISM, not Socialism, dont let the mainstream media fool you.
Obama will tax rich, who gives a fuck, are you rich? Im not. Obama will tax anyone making 250,000 or more. Thats fair since the elite cleaned up under Bush.
It is obvious that increasing capital gains taxes by a minimum of one-third and possibly doubling them, both of which Obama has proposed during his campaign, would send a clear signal to investors to keep their money under the mattress. Who would buy stock now knowing that the tax on any profits he or she will make is going to go up sharply if Obama becomes president.
Proposing during a campaign, and actually implementing policy are quite different. Bush came into office proposing to end our imperial overstretch and cease our involvement in InTL affairs. Candidates change their policies once elected, but thats the history of almost all politicians.
How about Cuba, Venezuela? I would love to move to Cuba. However, our fascist system prevents it, and Castro doesnt want brainwashed Americans there. I have been socialized into this Christian Capitalist system. However, I have REALIZED THIS. Don't criticize me for questioning my socialization. In questioning my socialization I have realized that there are alternatives to "The American Way."
Quit being close minded and thinking that we HAVE to be the best at everything, we are NOT.

obama supporters keep talking about change...what KIND of change?! will someone please answer that question for me? what will this man change? change doesn't always mean for the better. no obama supporter, not a SINGLE ONE can tell me what type of change obama will bring. college kids who support obama were asked what type of change obama will bring. they answer by saying that they DON'T EVEN KNOW! they just like the way it sounds. answer this obama supporters: what change will obama bring?
Obama will bring change in every form. Is bringing the troops home from a war we should've never started CHANGE?? YES. Is uniting this country CHANGE? Obama will change the world. Instead of worrying about people voting for Obama...you really should be worried about the amount of people that are not voting for McSame. Why you are so concerned about Obama voters?? what you should be concerned about is McSame being behind in the polls. Now get off Bushes balls and go back to fucking your sister.
You are insane. Obama has divided this country like no other politician has -- this guy is nothing but a walking race card.
The troops are already slated to be coming home based on the success of the surge where McCain was right when he told the administration that they needed more troops to get the job done, everyone else and especially Obama, were wrong. Obama would have left Iraq in shame and disgrace, McCain was right.
The WU were a bunch of punks, the only positive thing they did was blow up 3 of their own pigs in one of mommy and daddy's expensive townhomes in NY.
"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at." -- William Ayers
That is quite a patriot you identified. Your dream is the same as everyone else's to become rich and you are jealous that you are not.
MalcomAP,thats why u gonna be broke 4 the rest of ur life,u will never see anything good 4 the rest of ur life,u will eat from hand to hand,u will spend the rest of ur life in a Nursing home..Amen & Amen..OBAMA has won already
Ew ma! Uh, ah! You gotta see me change See me change Yeah, I'm leavin' town On a midnight train Gotta see me change Change, change, change Change, change, change Change, change, change Change, change, change Woa, change, change, change Enough of this Obama circus.
Good luck with that. After 8 years of a Republican Pres. who is leaving office with an approval rating in the teens, an economy in the toilet which was helped along by the Repubs, an unpopular war, and a candidate that double speaks all the time.
It seems that John McCain is also fighting a war AGAINST HIS OWN PARTY.
Its quite funny that McCain is running against the Republicans despite the fact that he has been attached to Bush's hip for the PAST 8 years.
You don't know much about politics. Bush's approval rating is about 28% while the Democratic Congress is about 9% even though there are a lot more Democrats than Republicans. Truman left office with a low approval rating and is now considered as one of the top 10 presidents. Bush will be viewed much more favorably in the future.
You just spout Obama's talking points. McCain and Bush have never gotten along very well. McCain takes on his own party, Obama does not have the courage.
Uh yeah Im a double major in Pol. Science and Int'l Studies, graduating in December. I know whats up.
Democratic Congress. 51-49 (WOW WHAT A MAJORITY) WHO SWEPT THE 2006 elections? THE DEMS. WHY? TO END THE WAR.
I can guarantee when my kid reads about Nixon in about 20 years he will be compared to Nixon, AS A CROOK. Quit hoping that history will vindicate him. KARMA IS A BITCH.
Dude, I dont spout Obama points at all. Im a radical, so D dont expect you to understand my views.
You are a radical is right, just like Obama, Wright, Ayers, Dorhn, Phleger, Meeks, Farrakhan, Sharpton, and the rest of those airheads. I am not impressed with radicals or degrees. Too many radicals do nothing but hang around college and have no practical experience.
I have already heard the radicals attitude of vote for Obama because he is black. Don't use Detroit for a model.
If you think Obama is a radical, THEN YOU DEF. DONT KNOW ABOUT Politics. He is pretty moderate, but not if you believe the mainstream media which you obviously do.
You said "You dont know about politics" so I thought it was relevant to let you know that that is my specialty and area of concentration.
How about "I disagree with you," instead. Radicals protest and go to speeches given by GOVT officials, yeah no experience.
Radicals are more democratic than you ever hope to be.
Really, McCain has voted with BUSH 90% of the time. "You dont know much about politics" do you?
DUde, Obama doesnt need to take on his own party, the Dems arent wrong. They lack backbone but they are right. The Neo Cons are what is wrong with this country. After 8 years and a broken country due to 2 unpopular wars and a crumbling economy and you think Bush will be looked upon unfavorably. Are you ill?
Ive heard McCain flip flop like 20 times, does he ever tell the truth?
Dude, Im just going to laugh if the American people are dumb enough to vote for the guy who is running against his own party, AND the other guys party as well. WHat does he stand for, a third party? OR IS HE SIMPLY LYING? I think its the latter.
You are voting for a scumbag like Obama who has never told the truth and is on an ego trip. Obama is a good example who has a damn degree but has performed every job he has ever had below average. Obama has never shown he could take on anyone in his own party and has never attempted to reach across the aisle. And this fraud claims he is a uniter -- he is the biggest divider I have ever seen. If Obama wins then the Republicans will be able to rebound. That guy is an utter failure.
And McCain has told the truth? No. Obama is the lesser of two evils. BOTTOM LINE. NO HE IS NOT PERFECT BUT HE AT LEAST HAS A HEART AND SOUL and seems like a real person behind the politics.
With the tone you use its obvious YOU DONT have a degree. Dont be jealous.
OBAMA DOESNT NEED TO TAKE ON HIS PARTY.
ARE YOU STUPID. HIS PARTY ISNT WRONG. IF THEY WERE I WOULD UNDERSTAND.
McCAIN HAS TO TAKE ON HIS OWN PARTY BECAUSE THEY ARE UNPOPULAR BUT ALSO BECAUSE THEY ARE WRONG.
You are the one who is stupid -- I have two degrees but I don't go around beating my chest acting like it is a great accomplishment. All one has to do is go to enough classes and you get a degree. It allows you to get an entry level job but at that point the real work starts.
One of the worst things you can call someone now is a "Democrat". That party has lost credibility with Obama, Reid, Polosi, the election process, etc. Anyone who can't take on that party is a wimp.
My point is, WHY DOES HE HAVE TO? He doesnt, he is running against McCain, not the Democratic party. He is busy enough.
Trust me if he had to take on his party, he would, but he knows he doesnt have to.
Degrees also allow you to become a college professor so no they arent pointless like you suggest.
One of the worst things you can call someone is "Republican" or "Conservative." People simply arent enthusiastic about McCain. However, people are excited about Obama. Wonder why?
Far Rockaway is for buying redtop viles at Beach 15 come down to 116 and the Irish Circle aint no one for Obama's ass there McCain in 2008 and BillyBats for vice prez yea BOYZZZZZ
