Overtaxed wrote: <quoted text> Did the Bush tax cuts kill the country ? No ! It was the combination of the tax cuts, the 911 attacks, two off budget wars costing trillions, a Medicare drug program without revenue (TAXES) to support it, a massive new homeland security bureaurocracy, huge natural disasters like Katrina, COMBINED with the tax cuts that starved the government of needed tax revenue. Add to that the disasterous behavior of investment banks and the rating agencies that are SUPPOSED to oversee investment vehicles for their value...(and THIS I lay at the feet of the Clinton Administration and the Republican majority in congress in the 1990s) and we end up where we are. The wars are winding down, the payroll tax cuts provided to taxpayers at the height of the current recession have expired, and tax rates have been raised on the more well off as a result of legislation this year, but the bulk of the Bush tax cuts have been retained permanently....I see that as counter-productive if the result means the cutting of Social Security and Medicare benefits for future retirees. By all means, those tax cuts should be retained UNTIL the current economic situation and unemployment rates return to more normal levels BUT, the days of guaranteed benefit retirement plans are over, wages are stagnant for all but the top 20%, and it looks to me like more folks will be MORE dependant on Social Security than they have in years. Now government is moving to adjust those benefits downward yet we retain tax cuts for those making 450k a year......a foolish move in my opinion. Tthat's my take "Pete"...I look forward to your comments. ok you call yourself "overtaxed" yet you're complaining about Bush tax cuts! really? If that's not liberal i don't know what is. So you should've change your name to undertaxed while Bush was in office.Now you can say (if you are a working man) overtaxed.Thanks to Obama if your not yet you will. Everybody gave Bush (sr) as they like to call him hell for the famous qoute"read my lips,no new taxes". Yet when taxes were raised by dems during him being Pres. Now Obama's town hall speech he says"the middle class can't afford another tax increase". Do you remember that lie? Yet no media is saying anything about that, i wonder why? Now if you like paying in more taxes,get ready cause with Obama's spending it will go up alot more.

Hey wrote: Why is no one talking about the Federal Reserve. This has got to be the biggest money issue there is. They pay the money printers a few cents 4or5 cents for hundred dollar bills then lend it to our government(us taxpayers) for face value Plus Interest. Is this not the biggest rip off of all? Seems that way to me. Why does this not seem insane when the Constitution says Congress shall print the money. Post the Link to the Source of your information and then, maybe somebody will take you seriously. if you're not willing to do that, then the natural assumption is that it's just Far Right-wing Propaganda and doesn't deserve to be discussed.

American Citizen wrote: <quoted text> Hello, SSS I am very bad at English I guess. I have been wanting to ask you this question. Please don't bash me. This way out of left field. How come you capitalize a lot of what you post. For example " "Get The Hell out of the Way," much of it is capitalized. Could you lease help me. Im not a jerk, this a real question. Thanks in advance. Were you and English teacher before? I feel stupid for asking this but just had to. Thanks. No, I wasn't an English Teacher, but writing correctly has always been important to me. It's like a visual First Impression, you're judged by how you write formal correspondence, also. Also, I was taught to capitalize, in writing, words that you would emphasize in speaking. I don't know if that it still taught , but it was when I went to school and I've always done it, even before computers, in handwritten correspondence...and the first time that I've ever been criticized or corrected for doing it, was when I got on Topix. Same with the punctuation...if you would pause there, when speaking a sentence, put a comma there, when writing it. Hope that explains it.

You know, I don't care two hoots in Hell about these backward People because they seem to like being that way, overall, and have no intention of seriously trying, themselves, to be any other way. But, I am worried about Al Qaeda moving right back in, with the help of the Taliban, and making that their Home Base, again! And of course, we all know that their Number One target will be the U.S., again! Otherwise, I would say pull Everything and Everybody that we have there, out of that God-awful Country and bring them home TOMORROW, if not sooner! ---------- "Afghanistan: U.S. Special Forces Must Leave Province."

I'm pretty happy." John Boehner, August 2011 what dem/lib site did you get that.

Dunlapian wrote: Well I see Iran just took control and brought down another drone over their territory. The first drone they took control of and landed was our top of the line RQ-170 Sentinel. So we are spending sooooo much time, money and technology on Iran, while North Korea just told us we beter not have our military exercise over there next week, as they fire off ICBM's and explode nuclear bombs. I would really like for our country to control our own Middle-East foreign policy. If it was me, we would have the military exercies in South Korea next month and if that little therp of a leader, exploded anything near use, would put a nuke down his smokestack and be done with it.

Translation: This is a useless Cause because these Posters aren't so easily fooled and they can expose my Propaganda BS, for what it really is. So, I need to go somewhere that the posters don't know any different and will believe every word of it, without question...some place where the Posters only watch Fox Fake News. Geeze, if the Teapublicans want me to be an operative for them, they should have warned me to stay away from this Forum's Thread! Memo To Self: I need to ask the Koch Brothers for a Raise!
