No, the government does not have plenty of money. It is ten trillion in the hole.

WHY is the gov’t in the hole?

WHY?

Because of poor management and wasteful spending.

Your solution is to elect the least experienced, least qualified, most Liberal Marxist/Socialist candidate to ever run for the Presidency and embrace his plan to “spread the wealth” and spend trillions more.

Hence the questions I have posed to you a couple of times now:

Since you both feel that “spreading the wealth” is such a great idea, tell me how much extra you have sent in to the IRS over the last, oh, eight years or so.

How much extra have you contributed?

Have you put your money where your mouth is?

Have you sent in even ONE extra dollar to help “spread the wealth”?

You know what’s really odd?

You’re STILL dodging.

If you truly think that the gov’t doesn’t have enough money and “spreading the wealth” is a great idea, then surely you have sent in some extra.

Right?

No, the real problem is government must shrink and shrink now. Bloated, redundant agencies, no oversight, oppressive and combersome laws/regulations, billions spent on illegal immigrants, billions more spent bailing out democrat fundraisers (Freddy and Fanny former execs work for who?), and a desire from the left and moderate republicans to spend more on ever failed welfare state idea are but a few of the problems.

Notice, defense and foreign trade are not on that list, nor is interstate commerce. We are taxed at every level and sometimes face multiple taxes for the same thing. Regulations, operating fines, and cumbersome licenses hamper our growth. Government is not the answer, it is, in many cases, the problem. You want the national debt gone? fine, but we need to cut non-defense and non-operating agencies in at least half. Government in America is not designed to be a national socialist welfare state. If THAT is the “change” the terminally corrupt Obama desires, we are in for Hell.

Track the manufacture of anything and you will rack up so much in taxes/licenses/fines/etc that you wonder how it could ever be profitably produced.

Government is far too big and Obama promises nothing but more with his nightmarish holistic socialism.

Actually, it does inspire confidence.

The gov’t has more than plenty of OUR money.

They need to be more wise with their spending habits. Isn’t that the same thing you said in post #9?

Nudnick.

Do you REALLY think that things will be better with Obama in the White House and the Democrats in charge of Congress?

This doesn’t exactly inspire confidence

Your question was so stupid that I did not realize you were serious. My apologies. I kicked in my share last year and that share grows all the time as my career advances.

Was it my question that was “stupid” or your comprehension level?

Did you even read my question?

Obviously not.

Here it is again:

Well the three of you decided to wade into this subject so I’ll ask you a question.

Since you both feel that “spreading the wealth” is such a great idea, tell me how much extra you have sent in to the IRS over the last, oh, eight years or so.

How much extra have you contributed?

Have you put your money where your mouth is?

Have you sent in even ONE extra dollar to help “spread the wealth”?

You’ll notice that my question had nothing to do with your income.

Wanna try again?

I’m more offended at the way my money is spent and the inabilty of the government to control it’s budget.

I miss Newt. I respect Republicans like SC Gov. Sanford who keep their word as budget hawks. Unfortunately they are a rartiy in the party these days.

We agree about wasteful gov’t spending. It’s outrageous what OUR dollars are being spent on.

Do you REALLY think that things will be better with Obama in the White House and the Democrats in charge of Congress?

If so, you haven’t been reading the plans that Obama has for YOUR money.

Have you read Obama’s tax plan?

Six of the seven “Tax Credits” that he lists are not “Refundables” as he calls them, AT ALL.

What do you call a tax refund to someone who didn’t pay any money in? It’s not a “credit”. It’s not a “refundable”. It’s a handout.

I know you guys always forget this but I am not a Democrat (I will never register with any political party).

I don’t know who has referred to you as a Democrat. I know it wasn’t me.

Although, you have to remember that you’re carryin’ the water for them so it’s easy to see your similarities.

Personally, I am an American. I am neither Democrat nor Republican.

I AM AN AMERICAN!

I vote for what is best for my country and for my family and if you read back through my posts you’ll find that I have bashed the Republican side just as much as the Democrat side.

Your question was so stupid that I did not realize you were serious. My apologies. I kicked in my share last year and that share grows all the time as my career advances. I expect to keep paying in greater and greater amounts in the years to come and I think the idea that I would stop trying to earn more because of it absurd. I’ll probably max out around $100,000 (todays dollars) in annual income. If I were to keep increasing beyond that, I would still expect the amount of contribution to increase progressively. I have no problem with it and again the idea that it would prevent me from trying is completely absurd to me.

I’m more offended at the way my money is spent and the inabilty of the government to control it’s budget. Eight years ago there was a budget surplus and a five trillion dollar deficit. Because of deficit spending, we now have doubled that debt in just eight years. Think about that… as much debt that was taken on during the entire Twentieth century in only eight years. About half of this is owed to the Chinese.

I know you guys always forget this but I am not a Democrat (I will never register with any political party). I miss Newt. I respect Republicans like SC Gov. Sanford who keep their word as budget hawks. Unfortunately they are a rartiy in the party these days.

Like most political junkies, I recorded tonight’s debate. I record all of them so I can go back and review what each candidate said when I am researching the truth behind their answers.
It was clear, barely halfway through the debate, that I was…

You’ve got me chuckling on that one. Great visual image of Keith Olberman blowing a gasket!
