      Cuts, no cuts. Republican, Democrat.

      I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us do not trust Congress and/or our government as a whole. Why are we so hellbent on handing over more money? I just don't get it.

      Let's say, just for example, that the whole population agrees to a tax rate increase of 15%. Everyone. Rich, poor, everyone.

      Do we really trust the government, as a whole, with that extra 15%? If you are Democrat, you will most likely not trust the Republicans. If you are Republican, you will most likely not trust the Democrats. Somebody you don't like is going to be in control of the money, regardless of which party is in power at any given date.

      Why are we arguing so hard to give these people more money? We see what they did with the Social Security money... they spent it. It's all gone. Now we have to fix Social Security by paying more money, that they will just spend again. And again. And again. And that's just one example. If money is laying around, they spend it. That's how the government works. In my house, if money is laying around... it gets put into a safe spot so that it's available when it's really needed. Right now is one of those times where that money is really needed. And there's nothing there.

      It doesn't really matter who pays what anymore. It will be squandered away anyway.

        Actually when you consider how large government is it works pretty good. The old folks get their checks every month,they scream dont touch my medicare which is a government program. We have one of the greatest fighting forces in the world. Those who serve get thier college paid for. Thats government. Shit it was government that funded the creatation of the net. Its not bad at all Also just so i understand to blame w for economy is wrong because barry is now president. But 911 and the deaths of 3000 americans happened during bush but the right screamed its clintons fault hmmm.

          please, the government is nothing more than puppets for the corps. we (yes even you) are at their mercy. their money gets bills passed, regulations changed so they can go on being financial predators. don't worry, the rich will continue to get tax breaks but the rich don't consider you rich, so get over youself. dem or republican, it doesn't matter. its all just a stupid game to keep the rabble busy while they fuck us (EVERYONE) in the ass repeatedly.

            Yes they did. They even said in some circles that bush inherited 911 and they werent kidding. Even though there's speeches where clinton begs the gop controlled congress for a bill to wiretap suspected terrorists. There's just no intellectual honesty in politics unless it's also convenient.

                The rich still made out like bandits in both cases, while the middle and lower classes felt the pinch, from all of this irresponsible behavior.

                Semi-unrelated to this post topic: Obama has passed legislation to curb both of those special interests, and the heat is on. Those with enough power and wealth to protect, want Obama out, so their games can continue without supervision, which will not help almost ANY of us!

                They have convinced MILLIONS of Americans to, once again, vote against their own best interests, to benefit the very few.
                What is against their interest? The wealthy getting a "Tax break" does not help me UNLESS the government is irresposnsable and makes promises it can not keep and spends beyond its means. That is not the fault of the rich or poor getting to keep their money it is the fault of the government an no one else.

                As far as the rich fucking up and feeling the pinch. There is enough blame from everyone on why the economy is in the dumps. The middle class extended their credit to much, then expected the government to help them when they fucked up. The rich made and were forced to make bad investments then expected the government to bail them out.

                You are falling for the trap. You are playing the roll of a useful idiot quiet well. They bribe you with your own money and you thank them for it

                  What are you talking about?
                  Democrats working together? They are like herding cats

                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                      The people voted Obama for president, dumb ass. Some of his campaign positions, for which he was elected, were to reform healthcare, regulate Wall Street, and allow the Bush tax cuts for the rich TO EXPIRE.

                      For these promises (and many more), he was elected into office. So, if you want to stick with "what the people wanted" - Obama was elected by the people, and if they did not want healthcare reform and an end to the Bush tax cuts, then he would not have been elected.

                        And clearly in 2010 after seeing what Obama has done the public does not want his type of reform.

                        Lets face it the only reason Obama won was because everyone was sick and tired of Bush. But Obama has made Bush look good.

                          you do realize that the first 2 years the dems had to deal with a republican president with veto power

                          How did the US do with 6 years of total republican power? Oh yeah the created the worst financial crisis since the great depression.

                                Keeping the tax cuts in place FOR INCOME UP TO $250K GIVES EVERYONE A FUCKING TAX BREAK, UP TO $250K!

                                For those above that bracket, the tax breaks that went into effect under Bush, simply expire. The fact that they were set up to expire IS THE ONLY REASON THEY FUCKING PASSED TO BEGIN WITH!

                                It is like attempting to have a conversation with a fucking monkey.

                                  Seriously, you characters focus to much on the politics, which has almost no measurable effect on the things that are important to you, and that you attribute to a given parties credit or blame.

                                  It's good humor, though.

                                          Spoken for truth right here. Republican, Democrat, neo-con, liberal. or conservative, it matters not. Wake up! the rugs being pulled out from under us. Were all being duped. And the fact that the USA's populations income inequality reflects a third world country, should set off some alarm bells.

                                            For these promises (and many more), he was elected into office. So, if you want to stick with "what the people wanted" - Obama was elected by the people, and if they did not want healthcare reform and an end to the Bush tax cuts, then he would not have been elected.

                                                Until you are making at least half a million bucks per year it is almost identical.

                                                It is not until one MILLION dollars, that the tax break jumps all the way up to 10% of income earned, which is totally disproportionate to those of us in the REAL world!

                                                You know, just about EVERYONE here on GFY for example.

                                                Keep on fighting against your own best interests you Fox Noise idiots!
                                                Thats just plain stupid. Of course the amount is going to get bigger when someone is making 1 million. You should look at % not the amount itself. Don't see how someone who's making a million should not be entitled to same benefit as one who's making 40K.

Again clinton wasnt president when 3000 people died bush was and he had in august intel that bin laden to attack us with planes.

Thats their answer and when they have it all back and it doesnt get better. They will blame one term president obama but then its ok because they are doing it.

                                                        The cutting spending isnt welfare its a very small piece of the pie, so are ear marks or pork whatever its called at the moment, its military, social security, medicare and huge subsidies for big business. They will talk all the bullshit and will do nothing. Maybe cut somethings that fuck with poor people but nothing that means a shit.Because they all know its a political third rail.

                                                            Dipshit, it was a taxcut for ALL tax payers. You, Obama, and similar trash want to keep it for everyone EXCEPT those already paying the most in taxes.

                                                            God, life is going to suck for you.

They're going to starve, but if you pay 4 million out of 10 to tax you aren't starving besides it's not like the rich would ever pay the full 40% anyway, they have a thousand ways to reduce tax especially if they own a business.

                                                                      You're just a republican faggot, you want wars but you don't want to pay taxes, where's the money going to come from to satisfy your blood lust?
