  • The solution really should be to have a simple and relatively flat tax rate so that the rich people can't find loopholes IMO.

    The girl raised a fair point though she turned into a bit of a retard.

    Can't say i know much of John not being an American, he handled this interaction with much class though.

  • I want to become rich just so I can give every last fucking dime away. When do we get that we're literally all one in this universe? There is no you or me, there is only we. Just read one fucking book on quantum physics or cosmology. This money thing will eventually destroy us and the fucking crazy thing about that is it's all made up. As objective as a perspective can be, it has no value. And gold is just a shiny rock. Fuck! what are we doing?

  • how did your father afford to go to school for 13 years?. He received some help, right? It is time to pay back. Thanks

  • Comment removed

  • White person talking about slavery? USE YOUR FREE SPEECH TO SILENCE HER

  • she mad..

  • you take more of the rich's money than you do from the poor. how the fuck is that controversial?

  • shes mad because she wanted that money from her dad....

  • I like this John McCain much more than the one we saw in 2008

  • What a fascist bitch. Thinking her father's money belongs to him? What a reactionary, big government owns you, bitch. Thinking that America should reject a progressive income tax? How regressive. She's obviously a ditzy airhead so her opinion and perspective is invalid. BTW, what's a "genetic fallacy"? Oh nevermind, the Soviet Union wasn't even slavery, it was progressive liberation, only poor oppressed Negroes on American cotton fields know anything about that.

  • They only work 6 months a year in Sweden?

    Funny how Sweden isn't broke like us.

  • @dlhitch2007 I think he was saying that it doesn't make sense to work longer than 6 months. I work contract jobs and only work 8 months a year (UK) because after this you hit the top level tax rate and it becomes 40% of earnings. I simply refuse to give 40% of what i earn to the government.

  • There was a lot of cheering. Why does he have to answer to one rich kid. It sickens me, my ex-inlaws are like that. Money makes everyone else work hard, and goes around in smaller amounts to make them happy, but for some people it is all that defines them, so they find it different. Like it is their sole responsibility to make sure that the grossly rich don't have to be people like the rest of us.

  • My dad's a rich doctor. He's a slave. Give him a tax break. The people who work at walmart and 7-11 are free. Get the money from them. 

  • thumbs up if you wanted to vote for McCain in 2000.

  • tax the rich and wipe that smirk off that dumb spoiled bitches face

  • If the Average American doesn't protect these BAJILLIONAIRES, and then their Lawyers left, and their SECURITY GUARDS Who would Protect them? WHO? And their Guard Dogs with Lasers, who would protect them after that????

  • she looks like she needs more coke money from daddy.

  • What I dont understand is why the government want the country to be wealthy, yet they are taxing the rich people that can create businesses and make us wealthy and employ more people. They wanna tax us when there is only nine percent employment in the country? I don't understand their reason for saying or doing things. Less Government makes a wealthier, better, more prosperous country. It should not be what a republican believes, it should be common sense

  • "How is that fair?" I would say to her how is it fair that from 1960 - Present (2011) a CEO's pay increase was 300%-400% while the average working joes pay increase from 1960 - Present was 4.5%. How the fuck is THAT fair?

  • maybe, since your dad was the one making the money in your house, he should have kept it all for himself... sounds like the same type of spirit.... i mean he earned it right? not you... so.....

  • "Why does my dad need to pay more in taxes because he makes more?" Because you're a spoiled brat who probably takes everything for granted and wouldn't DARE give up your $40,000 BMW that your DAD bought you for a standard car...that would just be a tragedy now wouldn't it?

  • Typical Republican picking not only the poor but also the rich and famous just like the Labor Party in Australia and Republican party around the world always take more rather than take less for only their TAX is for the future investments used for proposed projects that will eliminate unemployment and give more jobs.

    Would you vote for Republicans like John McCain to pay more Tax or instead vote for Liberal, Congress and Democrat to pay less Tax regardless of your financial status Rich or Poor.

  • "UFO Disclosure, Revelations & the 2012 Connection" ON

    YOUTUBE is a disclosure of major lies and with held

    information regarding life outside of Earth. Footage containing statements

    from, military personnel, astronauts, American presidents and politicians.

    + credible news footage. The compilation contains revelations

    regarding awareness of life beyond Earth along with it's current and ongoing

    presence which is being hidden from the public + more.

  • Wealthy people would still pay more money if the tax rate remained the same percentage for everyone. It's a PERCENTAGE of the amount they make, not a flat amount. Why is it fair that I have to pay 30% of MY money, and others have to pay less? Is it because I work hard to earn my money and the people who have less money need to be helped out? I have no problem paying taxes at a reasonable level, but it isn't fair that I need to pay a higher percentage just because I can make more money.

  • Slavery .... my brain just exploded.

  • @KoalaBearWarrior

    "Slavery .... my brain just exploded."

    It's exceedingly interesting that Marilyn vos Savant (look up how smart she is) referred to taxes' being spent on entitlements as ... slavery . It's not an intelligent idea that tax payers have property rights with respect to the fruit of their labor. Do we work for others? We want to work for ourselves.

  • @KoalaBearWarrior, Correction: "not an unintelligent idea ..."

  • I say tax all "job creators" right the fuck out of the country. Let's call their bluff, it's a win/win. If they don't leave we get cooperation, if they do we get a free market.

  • MCCAIN IS NEARLY AN INDEPENDENT, DONT VOTE FOR INDEPENDENTS, VOTE FOR REPUBICANS!!!! Y??? small government, low taxes (for all),strong military....etc....email me for more if u hav questions.

  • Did she pass any of her courses?

    Let's start with this: If you want a flat tax rate across the board, it has to be one that EVERYONE can afford, even those who do not earn enough to meet their basic needs, so it would HAVE to be 0% or less. So, there HAS to be AT LEAST two tax brackets (but more is better). Why doesn't your dad just lower his fees until he is in the lowest bracket, then he can keep ALL his money, too! Or, he can drive his Mercedes along the goat paths we could afford to build

  • I listen to her and all I can think is "You're just mad because your father didn't buy you a new car.". Privileged, most likely spoiled by it. Bringing up slavery was also stupid.

  • I do not agree; her dad should have as much right to his own money as anyone else, he went to school for it not some pregnant girl on welfare housing her drug dealing boyfriend. so be fare to everyone the same.

  • The more taxes the govt takes from the rich the less jobs they will be able to create

  • @loffytoffy1 "The more taxes the govt takes from the rich the less jobs they will be able to create"do some research you will find tax cuts for the rich have never created a significant increase in employment .certainly not enough to pay for any tax cuts .

  • @MUDSHARK111 Ok even if it doesnt create a significant increase in employment it lets the company pay their employees more.

  • @loffytoffy1" it lets the company pay their employees more" capitalism is driven by one thing .the pursuit of profit ,company's only pay more if it is in there interest to.over the years since the bush cuts we have seen middle and lower class wages either decline or stagnate, naturally income remaining the same is technical a pay cut .in the same period we have seen the top earners income increase substantially.

  • the question is if you suddenly become rich would you want to pay more taxes than the others

  • and they say that john mccain took more of a conservative approach

  • Better question: " Why is my father part of a cartel that is enriching itself at the cost of the everyone's health?"

    See AMA and losses on antitrust law. And to above with hate language ... not helpful!!

  • Fair...........and how is it fair that some children have to live on the streets or a car while she was born with a f****ing silver spoon in her mouth?? Give me a break..b*tch!!!

  • While her questions and her definitions my be off she has a point that is overlooked. Why is it fair to tax someone 50-60% of there money JUST because they make more. It is like saying that it is ok to go to work for 40 hours a week and get paid for 20, which is actually the true way of looking at it. Also, dont assume that because they earn more that they actually work less. I know people who earn 150k + a year, work 80-90 hours a week in underground mines only to have 60-70k go to government

  • meanwhile some douche bag running a bank gets paid 16 million a year to screw individuals just as hard as the government does and out of that 16 million they dont spend a cent of it on everyday things. Most have company cars, company phones, fuel cards, computers etc etc and vacations and outings are usually charged back to the company. They have good quality accountants and solicitors who give them the low down on ways to avoid paying tax. Most you would find pay much less than 50%!?!?!?!?!

  • And the throw back question from the government bench 'who here thinks that individuals who earn a higher amount of money should pay a higher amount of tax' got all the mindless idiots clapping. Perhaps under freedom of information laws (not that they apply to individuals) we could find just how much of OUR tax money THAT individual has enjoyed through benefits given to him. In Australia you can work till your 70 and enjoy a shit pension, or be a backbench poli and get a decent one. Justice?????

  • i dont recall any slaves taking sweet hawaiian vacations, buying their children brand new cars for 16th birthdays, etc.... i wonder if she has ever even had a job, or did her dad just give her free spending with his credit card?

  • clueless young woman.

  • She's prob blowing McCain as we speak..

  • what a dumb bitch i like to teach that spoil little bitch the true meaning of hard labor

  • @mannygatillo what do you know of hard labor? im sure the kids in madagascar saphire mines would say the same thing to you. keep quiet.

  • what a foolish bitch to ask such a dumb question

  • @BloodBoxingReturnz totally agree brother

  • @BloodBoxingReturnz LMAO, she's so clueless

  • @TheFinalRound1 i bet her father was spoiled to....i would bet my whole paycheck

  • Wow, that's not the same McCain.

  • she has a point but i think we should all pay the same

  • Listen to me, the money comes from the rich.. you have to tax the rich! if we continue to tax the poor and taxed the middle class, our country would go in debt.. Like we are now!! I have gone to college and worked 5 jobs all with in 7 days a week.. the more you make the more you pay in taxes! its simple.. No I am living on shit, and have a nice apartment..

  • This is absurd! People that have spent all there lifes trying to achieve something have to pay higher taxes for someone who could work, but insted just applies for welfare. Oh, and you can't forget the illegal immigrants. They play a big role in higher taxes.

  • @joelraszki i completely agree. I plan on going to law school without any monetary support from my parents. My brother in law is currently putting himself through med school, which is a $150,000 tab for him. So even though he will be making a substantial amount, with the interest on the loans he's taking out it will take him over ten years to pay off the loans while at the same time being heavily taxed by the government. So is it unfair for him to be comfortable after working through the debt?

  • Search for Warren Buffett tax on You Tube.

  • Wow, I wanted Mccain to win, but this is one thing I totally disagree with. The rich shouldn't have to support the country with their hard earned cash. Everyone should pay equal taxes. Poor people shouldn't get a break from paying taxes, and rich people shouldn't have to pay a lot of taxes. How many poor people employ others. Sure the rich people spend money on stupid things, but thats their money. And if they didn't have that money to spend on pointless stuff, the economy would suffer more.

  • @joelrazski It's corporate welfare when the rich get tax breaks. If you hate welfare, you should hate welfare across the board - not just for the poor. If it weren't for the working class, the rich wouldn't be nearly as rich. Why? Who do you think pays for those tax breaks?

  • @joelrazski interesting, yet there's a lot of rich kids who don't deserve their money and don't work for it so the poor people should have to pay more taxes when they already don't have enough, that will cause revolution, the system is the best that it can be other than corporate tax shelters and 50mill bonus to ceo and many other things unmentioned, and you must forget rich people have an excess of money they live beyond their means

  • @raxes32 I know what you mean about rich kids who don't deserve it. Theres a kid at my school who has rich parents and he is a spoiled prick. But its not his choice that his parents were rich. If his parents want to give him their money they have the right to do so. We might not like it, but it's their money. They shouldn't be forced to give it away. Besides, rich people donate the most to charities. People become rich because they work harder and go the extra mile. Wealth isn't handed to them.

  • @joelrazski nicely put but it takes money to make money

  • @joelrazski Maybe if people were paid a decent wage there would be less need for charity.

  • @joelrazski If you are a poor person making .50 an hour from one of the jobs created by rich people you can't afford to employ anyone.

  • its a good thing that girl has a rich father with a medical background. someone needs to fix that twisted face.

  • i think what shes really trying to say is that she wants to get fucked!

  • It's not fair!!!!

    My father makes loads of money why does he have to pay taxes just because he's rich :(

    Everybody pity my boney, still filthy rich arse. :(

  • goood those rich people have it way to good just sippin martinies, and drivin thier lamborghinies down town, while we have to struggle to pay these taxes

  • LOL american debates

  • fuck rich people they take 98% of all the money ...how fair is that

  • ouch geting booed by that meny that sucks:P

  • did jesus pay tax i dont think so ,just where does the money go to the rich,2000 years later same shit differant day.......peace to all my broters and sisters of collective skintness is money te answer ?

  • I would like to Fuck that greedy Spoild Bitch Up her ass

  • well said

  • Yeah, this is why people pay taxes, to pay for YOUR spoiled ass welfare.

    Fuck progressive taxation, and fuck unnecessary taxation.

  • @sticksquash I think progressive taxation is fair and right so shove that up your ass!

  • @jfkjrlover You should try sticking your head up your fucking ass, see if it fits you fucking prick. Go fuck yourself. Taxation is theft. I hope your body rots of skin cancer. I bet you just rub yourself off so hard on the welfare and nanny state.

  • @sticksquash Yes, I love socialism! I'm a very proud liberal socialist and think we need higher taxes to provide everyone with food, education, health care and work!

  • @jfkjrlover I think I got trolled. :(

  • @sticksquash LMAO, no I'm being honest. Is it that hard to believe that there are liberal socialists in America? It's a big country and lots of people share my views and hopes for this country! I hope someday conservative Americans stop viewing socialism as some evil governmental philosophy 'cause it's actually a pretty good one compared to evil capitalism that creates a huge disparity among the haves and have-nots.

  • @jfkjrlover i nearly started crying when reading your comment .it really is good to know . a person could be forgiven for thinking all Americans care about is themselves personally .

  • @Iblamebush55 lmao...then make her taste it!!!

  • i am glad Obama is taxing the rich Its about Time its Realy The same Thing Bush Did For Years The Middle class Should Not have to pay more taxes When There Struggling to get by as it is me i have had to work my ass off my whole damn life to get by its not right that My money is took and Gave to the rich Shit i would realy like to see any of them greedy Rich people walk in our shoes They would hang them Selfs

  • greenyoshi48, how fair is it to tax people who cant spell fair?

  • Is she stupid when the middle class can barely pay taxes need a tax cut. And the rich can fully pay taxes, so paying a little bit more is only fair.

  • let's say i was a multi-millionaire, do you think that i'd let obama tax me? he could try, but it would all be in off-shore accounts. just remember, it's my money, not everyone elses. i'm selfish and i can be selfish because this is the US. people don't need handouts, they need job applications!

  • I hate to rain on your parade, but the richest in this country are the very libs you accuse of being jobless. It's a known fact that libs also make more money than conservatives. My husband and I belong to the working class and work very hard at that, and we are tired of nationalizing the rich. You guys are the true socialists. You're pissed because Obama's trying to keep you people away from our hard earned money!

  • LMAO

  • Do you honestly think the politicians in D.C. will be able to tax the rich? What do you think the rich man will do? Just lay down and let Obama and his thugs screw him? Hell No! Think about it, the rich man is rich. He'll hire the best tax lawyers and tax accountants there are, because he can afford it. They'll find all the new loop holes for him and keep his taxes down to nothing. These rotten, lying politicians are just stirring up resentment in the working folks to get their support.

  • I'm John McCain and i'm going to kill U.S.A!!!!!!!! ( Not he is not in the white house yea obama you rock )

  • What happened to this guy? I would have voted for THIS man in a second. Why did John McCain change into a mouthpiece for the far right wing and the religious right? This is insane. Barack Obama's tax plan is what John McCain is advocating here. This is common sense. Someone making 10 million a year doesn't need a tax cut but someone who is barely breaking even does. If you want a strong economy than you need to have a middle class that can afford to spend on goods and services.

  • hows is it fare taking money from people have barly any money?

  • If there are rich people that give from their hearts to charities and are good down to earth people they should not have to pay higher taxes. The rich people that are full of greed and got their money in a backhanded way should have to pay highhhh taxes but we can't weed em out.

  • A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, followed always by a dictatorship.

    -Carl Marx

  • the only folk who want rich people to pay higher taxes are poor people. get better jobs. if u cant your a waster

  • The rich have to pay higher taxes? Am I suppose to feel bad for them? Boo-fucking-hoo. I know cutting back from 12 vacation homes to 11 sounds painful, but I'm sure you can manage. If not, you can pay one of your maids to wipe the precious tears off your cheeks. Pussies.

  • try: hey jealous bitch! take away money from the "rich" and jobs go away... fact! You call it "tax money" I call it "lost working capital" each of those vacation homes employees on average at least 5 people...

  • Whoa! What a greedy bitch. Comparing slavery to a progressive tax system?

    If I was one of the super wealthy, I'd be willing to pay more, because I love this country and I want to help out my fellow man, but it seems right winger only care about themselves. I still can't believe this is the same John McCain that called Obama a socialist for basically saying the same thing he said.

  • zero: best way to help fellowman: start a business and create jobs...NOT by paying higher taxes...FU!

  • it keeps her dad from becoming Rockefeller and protects the super rich's influence...

  • McCain is obviously a statesman, however the people who boo'ed her are stating that this is a democracy whereby 51% has the right to take away the rights of the 49%... We live in a constitutional republic whereby 99% shouldn't have the right to take the fruits of even 1%'s labor... And McCain was right, his friends Rockefeller, and company don't pay much in taxes because they have escrowed trust funds but her dad who is poor compared to them gets hit hard, very hard...

  • soliloqy: LIE....Rockfellars pay SHIT LOAD in taxes...you are a liar!

  • Her doctor daddy is stealing money from every person who goes to the hospital. We have all paid the bills and insurance. This creates poverty. All the people who file bankrupcy, cause of a car accident, job can't pay daddy doc so they have no insurance, lose job and home cause can't work.

    "In the United States at the end of 2001, 10% of the population owned 71% of the wealth, and the top 1% controlled 38%. On the other hand, the bottom 40% owned less than 1% of the nation's wealth." Wiki.

  • I have no idea why this video didnt surface during that whole Joe the plumber fiasco. It would of really slapped the conservatives in the face.

  • Liberals are Fascists, they want to take everything. Your salary, your free speech, your guns, your religion. They are a cancer to this great country.

  • did you even pay attention to this video or were you whacking off to your Rush Limbaugh calendar again?

  • salle5, I cant believe you blocked me from commenting on your ridiculous conservative videos only to harass me on other channels.

    And then you wanna bitch about about left wing censorship. shithead.

  • Sallee5's the typical under-educated neocon. He blocks people because he has no intelligent response when they call out his bs.

  • I am a little late seeing your comment, but I sent the link and about this video to everyone in the news media including Chris Matthews back during the whole Joe Plumber ordeal and never understood why it was not used. It would certainly would had shut up some or show their true hypocrisy!

  • amen

  • LOL! SLAVERY??? REALLY, BITCH? wow!!!! somebody should stick you in a cotton field!!!! teach you a thing or two again... WOW!

  • this is why i'm a conservative that didnt support john mccain.

  • That daughter of a doctor is one stupid AND evil cunt whore. I guess intelligence doesn't get passed on genetically.. or maybe her dad isn't smart; he's just a good student which even dumbasses can be. I hope that whore is rotting in misery right now.

  • nobody pays 60%.

    The rich voted for obama. they are being hurt by the bush tax cuts too. the bush tax cuts hurt everybody, upper class included. Obamas play benefits everyone

  • What happened to this John McCain? He seemed like he was sane and rational unlike 95% of the Republicans today.Gosh,they disgust me so much.John McCain picked the type of Republican he disliked to be his VP

  • Notice McCain says in this video he supports the majority of tax cuts, for the middle class. Yet in his proposed tax plan the rich got the highest percentage of cuts. In this election I would have voted for the John McCain of 2000, over Barack Obama of 2008. Unfortunately he let political aspirations get in the way of his fundamental beliefs. That is why I voted for Obama.

  • Yeah,I can see why you would.He was a great person.However,if it was Obama 2008 vs. McCain 2000,I would've still supported Obama.I would've totally had so much respect for McCain,but I think I would still feel that Obama would make a better president.That's just my opinion

  • the rich should pay more taxes because they have more the military has to protect. most taxes go to military spending.

  • What a dumb bitch--not even worth it. God I hate Michigan and MSU.

  • Go fucking die

  • i see what she's saying. the thing is that the progressive tax rate benefits everyone.

    theres tax cuts on the lower and middle class (and small tax increases on the upper class, such as her father). THis gives the middle class purchasing power. They buy things from corperations. Corporations stocks go up. The upper class that has money in the bank or invested makes large profits in the stock market, much more than they lose in a tiny tax increase.

    Progressive tax benefits everyone.

  • what a dumb bitch.

  • Socialism and stuff!

  • totally!

  • This vid is from 2000, so this can only mean one thing, McCain is actually a "Future-Obama" from 8 years from now. So by the time 2016 rolls around Obama will be grumbling about "socialism" and trying to start a war with Iran during his lame duck phase!

  • who gives a flying fuck anymore, worry about it in 4 years

  • you fucking dipshits who want to tax higher income poeople more are stupid. if you make alot of money you should pay out the same % of your paycheck to the government as anyone else! not more! thats not fair! i gauruntee you that if anyone was as rich as that doctor you would feel the same way

  • and I "gauruntee" you that you'd rather make $400,000 and pay 50% in taxes than make $40,000 and pay nothing in taxes. Or we could just get rid of the IRS and have a National Sales tax, Ron Paul FTW!

  • we need to get rid of the federal income tax not the federal tax, then we will still be paying the same amount of money in taxes but we'll have more money to spend on shit and maybe we'd balance the fucking budget

  • Understand progressive taxes and come back - also make sure you look into the % saved from deductions on the higher brackets while you're at it too.

  • i did do more research whatch my upcoming videos and then just jump off of somthing tall, im sick, i dont feel good, im not going to get into a duel with you over this shit

  • Then please process how over 30% of $1m+/yr returns paid a net Federal tax burden of $0 for at least two years between 2000-2007 is at all fair.

    (And note that it's nearly 70% for those that hit $0 tax burden for one or more years)

    People like you who whine about taxes on the rich always ignore deductions - I'm sure your "upcoming videos" will as well

    The average EFFECTIVE tax rate on the rich lands around 14-17% post deductions today. That's minimally more than those on the edge of poverty.

  • wow vaclav, if i could give that comment 5 thumbs up, I would. amazingly said.

  • Stop being sycophantic to the rich...you are NOT in their club as much as you think you are.

  • Awesome

  • Yea see You cant even spell just another case of A Stupid No sense Wright wing silver spoon fed Retard

  • at least I can spell Right correctly. I'm a Libertarian douchebag. fuck McCain Obama won. Wtfe America will never have a libertarian president yeah socialism

  • Wow... I hope that girl's college education has at least help her get definitions straight.

  • She goes to Michigan State. She has no future.

  • stupid little bitch. i cant wait till i see you coked up in your leaked porn vid.

  • AHAHAHHAHAH OWNED!

  • MCCAIN USED TO BE A MAVERICK

  • "Isn't the definition of slavery basically where you work and all your money goes... aren't we getting closer and closer to like, socialism and stuff?"

    I see her education has done her well.

  • I don't even know why I'm watching this, Obama is going to win anyway...

  • spoiled bitch....she's only thinking of herself..and not the big picture.....wealthier people dont pay as much a poor people according to the percentages..............WAIT.­...why is john mcCain agreeing with OBAMA????........oh yea...john mcCain is a 2-face

  • "Hey, isn't this kind of like slavery?"

    How did that girl get into Harvard again? Oh with her father's connections. If the people who deserved to get into schools like Harvard, the people who understand law and such, then we wouldn't have people like her running our government.

  • UH OH IS MCCAIN A SOCIALIST TOO!?

  • I would have voted for this version of John McCain.

    Go Obama!

  • When was this video made..BEFORE he got the nomination? How the worm has turned! He has SAID he will give BIGGER TAX CUTS to EXXON and the like. Who's going to make up for it....Anybody wanna guess? John McCain was BORN to an HEIRESS. He MARRIED an HEIRESS. He has NEVER ONCE in his life had to forgo food or insurance for his family. He has NO IDEA how anyone but the rich live. We've GOT to trust someone new. We trusted Bush & got screwed, and McCain is 4 more years of FAILED policy!! VOTE!!

  • Isnt that.....like.....Socialism

    I think she has a point, her dad needs more money to pay for a better education for his daughter because that bitch is dumb

  • No. Progressive taxation is not socialism.

    You could twist her question around and ask "why are the poor penalised proportionately higher in real terms than those who can pay more?", of course, this is "unamerican" and "undemocratic" - although it goes against the true premise of democracy (see Aristotle).

  • Seriously, I can't be the only one with an uncontrollable urge to punch this haughty, ignorant cunt in the face so hard it leaves that "I'm not going to listen to you unless you enthusiastically concur" jeer on her face permanently; encouraging further beatings.

  • Man, I totally would have voted for McCain in the 2000 election. Too bad he had to toe the party line to get the republican nomination this year.

  • I agree. I think it is tragic how his party has undone him. I so very much admire this man and I feel he, in theory, deserves the presidency, but because he has had to twist himself into what his party demanded, he has likely lost some of that deservedness.

  • Uh-huh - so McCain OBVIOUSLY DOES have the intellectual capability to answer this girls question in a civilized manner, honoring the system of solidarity that -thank God!- all modern societies are based upon!

    Yet then I really wonder how the same McCain could support, COULD EVEN WITNESS the disgusting smears on Obama calling him a "Socialist" without feeling the immediate urge to puke, and to STRONGLY DISSOCIATE from this propaganda, aimed at destablilizing the communities very foundation!

  • No one explained to the bimbo that progressive taxes are a development in Western civilization to achieve the "fairness" she thinks is so important.

    Everyone pays the same at the bottom--the first say $30,000 or $40,000 of income goes to food, housing, a car, gas, insurance, clothing, furniture, etc. Depending on family, lifestyle, etc. And everyone pays the same taxes on those things. And property taxes. Even though it is much harder for those earning $30,000 than those earning $200,000.
