how is it that mccain sings a song about bombing Iran and Dean screams and gets thrown off the building?That damn liberal media

[duckinmypants]

because foolishly singing the attack of a foreign country is accepted in this country but enthusiasm is not.

other examples include violence cool, nudity bad, incompetence great, blow job bad, war with wrong country good, getting osama bin laden bad - welcome to the republican minded usa.

@ExtremeRecluse the Declaration of Independence says:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

I think the time has reached

@ExtremeRecluse damn, you know how fast that system would get hacked even if we could convince people to switch and people would find a way to inject money into the system

[bigbody410]

nope

[ExtremeRecluse]

I say we replace our representative govt with direct government, using the internet to cast votes. No lobbyists, no payola and direct accountability. The current constitution was developed during horse drawn buggy time. That does not apply now. I also recommend dropping money from the equation. No money-no greed. You call it socialism. I call it democracy. Can you think of anything better? Review all laws and the constitution annually. The people will rule To each according to his needs!!!

It is fair that you would have to pay a higher tax rate if you have the ability to pay more. 28% means a lot more to someone who only makes 50K as opposed to 150K.

@RageagainstRacosm; your words "You're naive to think our constitution does not change. Our Constitution in fact does not change (other than amendments) but the constitution absolutely does. "

Does the constitution change or not? It appears you are confused.

Doesn't matter if you beleive your own statement or if it was a typo, the fact of the matter is not debatable. The constitution can be amended, but it is not a fluid document that bends in the wind.

[RageagainstRacism]

You're naive to think our constitution does not change. Our Constitution in fact does not change (other than amendments) but the constitution absolutely does.

Even the most cursory examination of our history shows that our ideals change from generation to generation...

"equates" means make equal... Prog Tax is not the same as Redistribution... uhhh it just isnt...

Go actually read Marx and Smith and educate yourself. If you want a complete explanation PM me, comments are too short.

[RageagainstRacism]

The point is that some countries have "tried it out". Read some history, you'll get my distinction and then answer your own question.

[Jimmymac916]

I want equal treatment as well. If I earn 150k/yr I want to be taxed at 28% just like someone earning 50k/yr. Why should I pay tax at a higher rate? I'm not greedy I'm a realist. Please explain to me why you think conservatives are greedy for wanting a fair taxation system? The poor don't even pay taxes so don't go there with what ever argument you dream up.

[Jimmymac916]

First of all, our constitution does not change from generation to generation so why would our ideals be subject to change?

Progressive tax rates equate to redistribution. A third grader would understand this concept. This is a LIBERAL policy (liberal democrat ideology if that makes you feel better). A fair taxation system would actually require a flat tax. If we continue on Obama's pace we'll be bankrupt... 14 trillion -- r u kidding me
