Politicians that I don't agree with generally do not bother me, but when Giuliani talks I just want to puke. He really gets under my skin.

Omg girl ok maybe we need to talk more. :thumbsup Think I just let my DennisMiller2008.com domain go a while ago lol

Mitt Romney

Jeb would be a good choice, but I am not sure how wild I am about having family dynasties monopolize the White House.

everybody in the US making over 100k will get a fat one is their asses!

Jeb Bush is more capable than his brother - he may have to wait longer because Dubya really has tarnished the Bush name.

why won't Jindal run for President? I've heard very good things about Jindal.

It always makes me smile in amusement and wonder, whenever I see or hear people criticizing a candidate for wanting to raise taxes. Where do these critics think the money is going to come from to pay for Bush's war?

Then I remember the guy who said "They can just print more, and pay for it that way."

:D

I disagree with your assesment of my governor....that being said, in 2016 I think he'll be a serious contender.

As a one term governor, he's not going to want to take on a sitting president in a year when the economy is likely to be good/growing.

In 2016 when it's wide open, if he can run as the guy who finally cleaned up Louisiana politics (the world capital of dirty politicians), he'll be hard to beat.

I don't know why I'm bothering to address you, because your political beliefs are as deranged as the guy in your avatar's religious beliefs.....

But this tax conversation is dominating this thread so here goes....

We've always had progressive income tax in this country. Every industrialized nation has progressive income tax.
ALL TAXES are a redistribution of wealth. Government takes money from people, and uses it (hopefully) for the betterment of the entire society.

Obama wants to put tax rates for top earners, and for capital gains, back to where they were during the Clinton administration.
All of you fucking chicken littles were predicting a massive recession and major unemployment when Clinton raised taxes on the top bracket to 39.6%.......and then we went on to create 22 million new jobs, move more people from the lower class to the middle class and more people from the middle class to the upper class than any 8 year period in our history.

So just STFU with your "socialist, redistribution, going to kill the economy" bullshit, because the facts are not on your side.
You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts.

The way I figure, if it's poor people's kids who are fighting and dying for this country (and that IS the vast majority of our military)
Then the least the rich people and their kids can do is pay for it.

If she doesnt get Recalled in Alaska after this election lol

Agreed.

And if you cant afford a little bit of extra taxes, profiting over 250k, and only being taxed higher on that additional income over 250k... you are living way too close to the edge and probably leveraged too highly and should rethink your current living habits. Maybe you dont really have the money to support that 2nd house, or that 2nd car and stop living in a fucking fantasy land.
