HELLO-- ARE YOUR REAL ESTATE TAXES GOING DOWN?

[kimletke]

WHY ARE THE AVERAGEW PERSON SUPPORTING BANKS

[Forsure3333]

That guy makes me think of Alex Jones, but with a less powerful voice.

[WhatCanIsay100]

Every 4 years hear the same old bullshit.

Republicans and Democrats both suck and are criminals

[overtbellicosity]

Wealth is the common tread that links both parties together. So wealth and power have but one concern Keeping power and wealth at all cost with no thought of the consiquences for the people. If your getting screwed why does it matter whos doing it. Your still getting screwed. If anyone thinks they have a seat at the table because they support whoever your sadly mistaken...

[grEzyRyd3r]

I'm surprised that Tom is still in such a state of denial.

Blame shifting won't change the obvious fact that the DLC Neo liberals are in command of the Democratic party.

They are little better than Republicans and promote many of the same policies.

[jimlaregina]

If more people voted, the Republicans would never win an election. The reason New Jersey just elected Bush zombie Christopher Christie is, as the newspaper reported, "record low turnout." The late G.O.P. fund-raiser Paul Weyrich admitted keeping the poor and middle-class from voting was the only way a Republican could win an election.

republican party is not only rich people. If I owned a bunch of medical equipment just because it is medical related does not mean that other people have a right to my property. Republican and democratic parties are both charades!! This guy is an idiot if he thinks bog govt is a good answer. He is speaking pretty biased when he says that whenever you hear small government.. go ahead and add so you can have big businesses.

I don't support republican or democrat. this is all bunk.

[sonnybrakes]

At the end of the food chain is the taxpayer and he/she ain't playing anymore.

[seamoremonster]

As per usual Thom is on target. It makes so much sense. The Republicans rely on empty rhetoric to convince the drooling masses that they are going to look after them. They bolster the rhetoric of fear and panic with terms like "War on Terror". They scream "Socialism" as a response to any legislation that threatens their corporate masters. They live and pray in C street and scream Pro Life and Family Values while cheating on their wives. Republcans don't feed them.

[bozeman14]

" as per " is grammaticity incorrect. i hope those who support your sentiments have more than a grade school education.

[seamoremonster]

Why don't you go challenge your tiny intellect by reading your heroine Sarah Palin? A grammatical error is a grammatical error. I try to be careful. Occasionally I make a mistake. You sir, are a mistake. I generally find pedants lack imagination, creativity and intellect; and because of that, they are good a following orders and make fine right wing fascist.

PS/ Fuck you.

[bozeman14]

what are pedants?

profanity is a fool's shield for intellectual insecurity and dishonesty.

your mistakes are not occasional, they define your rhetoric and those of your ilk.

[seamoremonster]

Oh...and by the way the letter (i) when used to represent the first person is upper case (I).  Now go some bricks at your glasshouse.

[bozeman14]

with regard to the banksters - umm tell me how the democrats are any different than the republicans.

[Steenville]

Exactly, bozeman14- I see no difference between republicans and democrats. They are both very bi-partisan about ruining the economy right now..

[jsorrell]

Amen, bozeman!! Republicans aren't to blame. Republicans AND democrats BOTH are! This isn't about parties.. the rich are the rich. and all people only care about themselves. It's only human to be selfish... and it is ugly.

[Steenville]

Healthy Danish society?? I am Danish and I f...ing HATE my society and country! Oh no, I said it. Now you probably consider me a thought criminal and potential terrorist.. better call the Obama youth corps so they can teach me better manners..

[DarwinOrwell]

OK, Steenville, what do you hate about Denmark?

[Steenville]

DarwinOrwell: Ah yes, lets see.. taxes on just about everything you could possibly imagine and of course at world record highs, confiscation of some stock market gains and other gains in other sectors (decided by the all powerful tax commisars who are above the law), economic freedoms extremely limited, de facto Berufsverbot for people who don´t support the system.. add to that a vast number of laws limiting various freedoms, the latest the freedom to demonstrate. Yeah, its a real paradise..

[DarwinOrwell]

Yes, Denmark has high taxes but most Danes are happy with it. A recent global survey found them the happiest people on Earth. Unlike in the US, they actually see their taxes being used for good: free healthcare, education, generous unemployment benefits, etc. Yet Denmark still ranks third in global competitiveness. And a study by Transparency International found Denmark to be the 2nd LEAST corrupt country in the world. Sounds like their doing something right!

btw, what's Berufsverbot?

[mrzack888]

excellent. time for the kiling to start. republicunts i hate them. more so than the corrupt demoncratic party .
