Regan was the worst. After all, the guy was an actor. If ever there was a puppet for a president, it was him. |

If you really look at politics in the U.S. with your eyes open...you begin to see the real power. It's not so much a President. They last only 4 to 8 years. Then they are put out to pasture and have zero power. No, the REAL power is found in the two parties. Think about it...President's come and go...but Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate and all the bureaucrats in the giant over-bloated govt. are there for LIFE. And even if some get voted out in the next election...they will just be replaced by another Dem or Repub and nothing changes. There are plenty of people in Congress right now who are directly responsible for the housing crash that took down our economy from legislation they wrote back in the 1990's. And people just keep voting for them. :( |
good luck to that retard

John Stewart was interviewing a republican stratagist during the Obama/McCain election and he asked him why people should vote republican and the guy said because they were best equipped to fix the problems. Stewart laughed and said, "So basically your pitch is that you are the best people to fix what you screwed up." The guy kind of shrugged and said, "Yup." I've heard the same thing from democrats and republicans since I was old enough to pay attention to politics and it seems like neither one of them has really actually done any of the things they promised (with the exception of healthcare reform, but there are many arguments that Obamacare didn't really reform much). |

The stats I keep hearing quoted are that the wealth gap between the rich and the poor is higher than ever. More people on foodstamps than ever. Unemployment "down" because of the smallest labor force participation rate in modern times. The only thing bringing the economy to life right now are low fuel prices. (thanks to fracking and the Saudis ramping up production to try and make fracking less profitable) |

I looked it up and the numbers from different sources are kinda all over the place. The lowest I saw (other than that blog) was 42%. Most sources say 43% No matter how you look at it...that number is too high. Hopefully it will come down to sane levels IF fuel prices can stay down and lower the costs of everything and keep the economy rolling. Which is yet another good argument for abolishing income tax and going with a national sales tax. Then EVERYONE will pay as they go. "Rich" people will still pay more (to keep the big govt. lovers happy) because they buy more things and buy expensive things. |

Just cause people aren't paying federal income tax doesn't mean they still aren't paying a good deal in taxes. |

There are a lot more poor people than rich people. Poor people spend much more of their money (usually 100% of it) on the things they want, and they pay the highest percent of taxes. Rich people spend less of what they have, saving it in the bank, and keeping it out of the economy and paying less taxes. Some place their money offshore f shore, paying less or no taxes again. Rich people with businesses use a variety of methods to pay less or no taxes on expenses related to their businesses. |
Even if he didn't say it, His high attention to religion is his Achilles heal.
It will dilute the votes for a decent republican person if they have one.... |
