Uh, the government has Constitutional authorization to use taxpayer money to build post roads.

Ever see those USPS trucks on the interstate?

Of course you have.

Well I hope I don't see you on an Interstate because if that's the case, you are freeloading.

Not quite.

Ever heard of the taxes paid on gas?

I have 4 vehicles. 2 for business, and 2 for personal use.

Chances are great that I pay more in taxes on gasoline (which are used to build roads) than you do.

So get the hell off my road.

Wait! You are against taxes, right? So you must argue against gasoline tax which is a stinking socialist trick to take us to cleaners, right?

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Obama's 95% Illusion

online.wsj.com...

It's a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that he's also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%. But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans already pay no income taxes at all? There are several sleights of hand, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of "tax cut."

Listen, I am one of the below middle class poor in this country,

Tax CUTS for everyone under $250,000.
Go to his website, it's all there...
You do know how to use the web, right?
Oh, yeah, you posted here... I guess you do!

If you really believe the Obama website... I have some Ocean front property for sale in Arizona and a Bridge in New York City.

Wake up and stop drinking the koolaid of the Communist Obama

That does it, VDOG.

Two red flags in one sentense, blah. I thought the only place koolaid was served in this fashion was the Hannity forum. You'd feel quite comfortable there. No thinking required, you know.

As for "Communism", you don't have a freaking clue what you are talking about -- this comes from a person who was born in a Communist country and now is a happy US citizen (minus my minor unhappiness due to moronic neocons in power)
Sheesh

Obama's tax policies are about fairness and stimulating the economy.



So first, let throw away this notion that Obama is a socialist becasue of the tax policy he wants to implement.

Is he going to raise taxes? YES,

For what purpose? To stimulate the economy by giving much deserved tax cuts to the middle class and the poor.

How is he going to pay for it? By letting the Bush tax cuts expire, by increase taxes on oil companies, by increasing taxes on the top 5% of earners.

.

The poor and most lower-middle-class don't pay taxes.

Uh, if you are referring to the income tax, the poor pay none,

True enough, how can someone pay what they don't have? Even the IRS sees this cold, hard fact of life.

and large chunks of the middle class pay little to none.

Hereby showing you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Actually, the middle class in this country pay the lion's share of the tax burden. Think about it, kind of makes sense, considering they are the largest demographic and are the engine this economy runs on.

The lions share of the tax burden rests on the shoulders of the "wealthy", yet those who pay none reap the rewards.

Wow... what nation are you speaking about. Actually, the tax laws are written in favor of the wealthy. If you make enough money to itemize and save all those receipts, you are allowed to deduct a huge portion of your income. Add to that the fact that the wealthy can actually afford a good CPA to help them with their taxes and find every allowable loophole, and the truly wealthy pay minimal taxes.

Socialism has no place in this nation, regardless of who is proposing it.

The atrocity known as public education is both unconstitutional and a giant money vacuum.

While I agree that the state of our public education system is seriously atrocious at this point, it was not always in the shape it is currently. It is obvious you have no children. Trust me when I tell you, if you did, you would quickly change your mind on this point.
I've said it before, and I will say it again, the constitution specifically provides for the "general welfare". Their job is to keep us safe, provide services such as police, fire, ambulance, trash service, AND education. I love debating you, and I don't mean anything I say here to you as an insult. We disagree on many things, and that is a good thing in this country. America was founded on the principle of compromise.
Here is something very unconstitutional:
The way this country has used the Military to spread its policies around the world is the most unconstitutional thing I can think of. If you will read that precious document, you will find that the Military is specifically to be used for defense purposes only. I know I'm going to get flamed for "not supporting the troops". That is not the case. The best way to support the troops is to use them only when attacked. In this world, we no longer need bases all around the world to protect our "interests". The military-industrial complex (yes, they really do exist) does not want you to know this because, well, it would cut into their profits and take a large measure of their power away. I proudly served my country, and would gladly lay my life on the line if there were an external threat. I would gladly follow Bin Laden to the gates of Hell, if necessary. However, this administration has not bothered to do so. The best way to support the troops is to bring them home to their families and give them the maximum benefits that we as a society can afford. It's not rocket science, just plain common sense.

LOL... you're just upset because your wonderful policies have been proven to be a failure. Oh, and by the way, McCain was once a "Maverick" when he used to defend privacy rights and campaign finance reform. However, he had to give that title up once he started courting the lobbyists, "agents of intolerance" (his words not mine), and the right wingnut NeoCONS who have bankrupted this country. Funny how when times are tight in America, the general populace runs screaming into the arms of the Democrats. Have you seen the poll figures lately? If I don't have a clue, then neither does 56% of America right now. Face it, unless your beloved brownshirts steal yet another election, the time of your failed "Reaganomics" is over. I'm not the only one who believes that, just ask George Soros... You know who he is, right?
