Democratic Debate

[Karnajj]

WE HAD a surplus!!! Karnajj!!!

It's the WAR!! Don't you get it?? Somebody's gotta pay for this WAR!!!

It's criminal to slash taxes for the rich, while raiding Social Security to pay for this war. Then, of course, the next administration, which I believe he KNEW would be Democrat, would HAVE to raise taxes to pay for his WAR!!! :shock: :shock:

I'm outta here for a week! Geez.....!!!!

It wasn't just the rich who got a tax cut, I got a pretty nice one myself and I am far from rich. The rich got a bigger tax cut because the pay far more taxes than I do. And don't even try that old song and dance routine about Bush "raiding social security". That's all the dems ever did in the decades that they had control of congress. I'm sure glad you and your type were not around during WWII. We never would have fought it because you would be bitching about budget deficits. Every war this country has fought has been fought with borrowed money. Why should this one be any different? You know and I know that if this had been Bill Clinton's war you wouldn't have a problem with it.

Speaking of party line

Someone using that Tax cut for the wealthy logic would complain about a 20% off sale where they only got $40 off spending $200 and the rich guy got $400 off spending $2000.

It's not fair, the rich guy got a bigger discount than me!!!

I could give this so called tax cut for the wealthy thing a little more credence if the ones on the left whining about it didn't take advantage of it themselves.

Also, no one has to take any deductions when they file their taxes, so if the elitist left is so worried about how little the wealthy pay in taxes, they should set the example and take no deductions whatsoever.

This is along the same lines as Edwards telling us how we all need to conserve, yet he is building a 28,000 sq ft mansion for he and his wife. Ok, you go first.

Amazing how the Dems cannot see how tax cuts help the economy, even in wartime. It's also amazing how they don't realize that the rich people's investments keep this country going. If Bill Gates closed shop, how many people would be out of work? Why should he have to pay oppresive taxes when he is already supporting thousands of people by virtue of his business?

The Government has NO business having a SURPLUS! (even if it was a complete fabrication built with smoke and mirrors!)

Wasn't that a projected surplus? Just like the Dem's projected Kerry would win in '04
