Their taxes were lowered without reason. Why should anyone need a reason to put them back where they were? If you are asking about progressive taxes in general, i.e. why should people with higher incomes be taxed at a higher rate? The answer to that is that they can afford to pay higher taxes with minimal negative consequences. Why should a person who can barely scrape up enough food to avoid starving to death have to pay any taxes at all? The rich also derive much more benefit from a government that protects their wealth better than it protects the wealth of the rest of us. For example, how does law enforcement protect the wealth of a person who has none? Given that about 40% of the population has a net worth of zero, or less, maybe they shouldn't have to pay for national defense, police, or fire protection.<quoted text>
If you hadn't noticed i didnt say their taxes should be lowered, i just believe its unfair to have them higher then everyone else. They work just as hard for their money too.

I think your rant demonstrates exactly the opposite of what you intended. It demonstrates the democratic senators are will to gore their own oxes to do what is best for the country. On the other hand, "the non-partisan Tax Policy Center found that McCain’s economic plan “would primarily benefit those with very high incomes.” In fact, under McCain’s plan, John and Cindy McCain would get a $300,000 tax break." http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/27/mccain-bu... |

A couple of points on your regurgitation of false right-wing talking points. The Dems didn't 'control congress.' They had a razor slim majority and the Repugs stated their objective was to obstruct obstruct and obstruct some more. There never was a vote for the war. there was a vote to authorization to use force if certain conditions were met. Those conditions were not met.the majority of the Dems in BOTH houses voted against the authorization. I do wish the leadership had had the backbone to have opened impeachment hearings, but they made the political decision not to. The LIES would have been pud easy to prove. Berger removed COPIES of files and was punished for it. |

Daily Horoscope for June 2
Capricorn
You feel like overindulging yourself in some way today, and why not? Throw caution to the wind and eat your way through a big bar of chocolate, or have a retail therapy session that leaves you reeling from the amount of money you've spent. There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
