The Bush tax policies redistributed income UP. Dividends + Capital Gains Tax: FLAT 15%. Estate (socalled Death) Tax: TWO MILLION DOLLAR EXEMPTION!! The super wealthy pay an estate tax. You must have over two million + all the shields and deferrals to finally touch an estate. REMOVED in 2010. Tax on Incomes: The more the middle class makes, the more they pay. It is progressive. Tax on Corporations: Hybrid. Goes up and down. 100k to 335k: 39% 335k to 10m: 34%

Republicans are great at crying and whining from the minority but they should'nt be allowed to govern. They don't even *believe* in our government anyway, and it shows.
When it comes to running government, Republicans are irresponsible and incompetent.

Any American who supports torture should be stripped of their US citizenship and deported.

That's funny, Card used to be one of the key players in creating the "Permanent Republican Majority". Now that the Republicans are about to be swept out of power in the most lopsided election in American history, all of a sudden he wants bipartisan deliberation!

Your absolutly right! Nobody wants to address the real issue which is SPENDING. Nor do they want to touch the 800 pound gorilla in the house... Social Security.
Worried about taxes? But the Dumbya Regime is spending hundreds of billions and forcefully asking for hundreds of billions more. Who in the fuck are theses assholes trying to fool except the completely ignorant. Fuck Yoo Andy Card.
Fuck you, andy. This is really some balls that he is afraid of one-party rule once he and his used the same to drive the US into the ground. Don't worry too much, you elitist douche. The Democratic party, while a slightly better option, is already owned by the same corporate interests that bought you long ago. They'll carry the water just fine.
Funny. No mention of the $9,373,204,626,705.80 debt. Half of which has been run up since bu$hCo. took office. How will that ever get paid??? And by whom??? By the way, that's $30,848.50 for EVERY SINGLE American (as of today). Multiply by 4 for a family of 4.
Yep. the myth of fiscal responsible so-called conservatives in the GOP is just that, a myth. Tax cut and spend, but the talking point is still the Dems are tax and spend. What makes these fools really nutty is they're still talking tax cuts!
They always say, "If (xyz), taxes will go up." But not *everybody's* taxes would go up any significant amount, just millionaires & billionaires getting humongous tax breaks now that come at the expense of everyone else.
The drooling wingnut talking point about tax and spend liberals is alive and well. Spending on war doesn't really count in the wingnut scheme, but if you spend a dime helping the general public you're a "socialist" threat to freedom and democracy. The regressive jackasses are beyond pathetic. The Iraq occupation is one big wingnut welfare program, not to mention criminal.
"I worry if we have a president who gets elected with significant momentum and his or her party is sharing the responsibility of running congress with overwhelming majorities that there would be a rush to do stupid things the first 100 days."
Sounds like the Bush presidency and the Republican Congress. All I can say is the Republicans made their bed. We'll just have to rely on the Democrats to be a little more responsible. That's why Obama is the best option right now and his desire to unite.
If this guy knows so much, how come our economy is so bad? He and his friends had over 7 years and our deficit has skyrocketed while our standard of living has worsened. Where does he get the nerve to talk so confidently about what's good for the country?

And the regressives will tell you the trickle down effect helps everyone across the board and other such deceitful lies.
The truth is the people are getting pissed on, thats the trickle the rich are talking about with Reagan vodoo economics.

Another Credit Card Republican worrying over the fate of the Bush tax cuts.
These deadbeat Borrow & Spend Republicans have sunk our nation into debt further than it's ever been in our history.

The people that separated rich and poor were the Republicans, when they cut taxes for the rich in '01.
It's not businesses they care about, it's not even the rich. It's making the government small enough to drown in a bathtub.
