Nothing new there then. They would only be too happy to raise your taxes, just not their taxes.

Brandyelf: How can they not see that??

What the hell makes you think they don't see it?

Brandyelf: people are innately good.

The older I get the more I realize how false a concept this truly is.

Brandyelf: people are innately good.

I seem to recall a story about a little girl who believed this.

If I remember correctly, she was driven into hiding, kidnapped, and forced to starve to death in some sort of camp, because of her religion.

Brandyelf: people are innately good.

No, people are innately passionate about what affects them...period. If it happens to be a good thing, great...but if not, too bad.

Why do the 99% keep voting for people who vote against their interests? Is America that stupid? Oh, wait.

Fkn Republicans...same ol' same ol'

And millions of Middle- and Working-Class dipshiats will support this plan and vote for these fkn crooks.

And any minute now some rugged, bootstrappy FARKers will enter the thread to rant about how good this plan is and how stupid we libtards are.

If we lower tax rates for rich people enough, eventually they will get tired of all of those piles of money and start throwing them away. And when they do...BAM! We'll be there to take the piles of money off of the curb! This is an excellent plan.

Just like how they run their corporations, farking over the non-mega rich is a very short sighted policy.

Things like this are why I don't go to any political events.

If I did, I doubt I could resist the temptation to kick any Republican pol I see directly in the crotch as hard as I could.

Negative revenue offsets gains made by tax increases, and increases the deficit. This is about as viable as the tranny you banged last month telling you that you're her baby daddy...

You mean that biatch is lying??

Dear GOP,

That bus is coming. It is roaring along at 80 miles per hour. And while you stand in the middle of the road, screaming at your downtrodden wife that you are the head of the house, the bus still comes. You stand there, staring, screaming at your wife. She is beaten, black and blue. She is bruised, crying, demanding you leave. She is sorry she ever laid eyes on you. But you don't care. You own her. You married her, and that makes her yours. You have told her a thousand times. You have married her, made love to her, defended her, beaten her. She is yours. You know it, everyone knows it. And now you find you belongings in the middle of the road. You stand there, screaming at her. Telling her how she has no idea what she wants and that you know what is best for her. You scream at her while she stands there with your colt .45 pointed at you. Stay away, you stay away, so help me, or I'll blow your goddamn brains out, she says. She is calm. You know she isn't in her right mind. You gotta talk her down. So you stay. Calculating, talking.

Baby, you don't know what you are doing, you say. You don't know what you want, you say. Never mind the noise behind you. Never mind the neighbors. F(*ch the neighbors. What do they know?! You put that god damned gun down right now or you'll lose all that you know, and you'll be sorry, god damned it!

She remains. She stand still, while the gun is cocked, ready the fire. She sees it. She sees it coming. You don't. You think you know. You step forward, cocky, thinking that woman is yours. You step forward....

*BLAM*

The only positive thing about this is that the Democrats have collectively told them to fark off.

This. IS. CLASS. WARFARE!!!!!

Republicans: The Thelma and Louise of idealogues.

Nadie_AZ

thumbs up.

I gave a tax cut to a rich person, and my toe fungus was instantly cured!

kingoomieiii: Brandyelf: How can they not see that??

What the hell makes you think they don't see it?

They keep voting for the same people who want to screw them. They clearly can't comprehend, either through stupidity or cognitive dissonance, what they are supporting and how it will affect them.

Whar is debate thread, whar?!

coco ebert: Whar is debate thread, whar?!

Nobody cares about the 300th Republican debate.

cameroncrazy1984: coco ebert: Whar is debate thread, whar?!

Nobody cares about the 300th Republican debate.

I DOOO! *sulks in corner*

Actually, I watch them while farking, mostly for the lulz. Usually a good time is had all around.

Wait, I thought Helen Keller was a sociopath, who killed because she thought people were truly evil, like Prince.

Damn. It's like you've met my parents or something.

I would give the Republicans a concession like this, but in return, I would want to cut defense spending by $200 Billion or some absurd amount like that, and then push 65% of it into education in Republican districts. with the rest in Democratic ones. There would also be a national department of education with national standards on civics, math and science set by leading scientists. And longer school days. That would pretty much stomp out Republicanism in this country within about 30 years. Then people will see how stupid all of these proposals are and hopefully we can fix the country then.

Can we just go ahead and rename them the Plutocracy party now?

NeverDrunk23: Ironically, the ones who scream the loudest about their love of the country and wrap themselves in the flag 24/7 actually don't give a f*ck about the country. All the care about is saying that America is great instead of doing things that can make America great.

America is exceptional. We don't have to work at it, we just are.

DarwiOdrade: And your wife doesn't mind?

I'm a woman married to a man and he doesn't mind. He just shakes his head and leaves the room.
