Eventually the crushing debt will force a tax increase, just like it did with poor old Bush of "Read my lips, no new taxes" fame. Being the affluent liberal that I am, the tax cuts have benefitted me in the short term. In the long term they will be a disaster, of course, and I do not support them....

This reminds me of Michael Moore's description of the invasion of Iraq as an invasion of a sovereign nation, which is an absurdity. The answer is no. Hussein's government had absolutely nothing resembling a right to exist. It was a government permitted to exist in the aftermath of a war begun by that government and a war which that government lost.

kallend 1,644 #68 June 8, 2006 QuoteQuoteProve that it was the tax reduction that increased revenues, as opposed to any other factor, foreign or domestic. Be sure to include the years 2001-2004. I don't have the capacity to prove it, other than to say that taxes were lowered with the STATED GOAL of increasing revenues (by improving business conditions), and that GOAL has been ACHEIVED. Same thing happened before in our lifetimes. You were wrong when you said tax cuts wouldn't work, and you're still saying it. They worked. Revenues have been down during 80% of the Bush presidency. A fact you conveniently ignore. Your logic reminds me of the story about the man in Iowa who was tearing up strips of paper and scattering them around his house. When asked why, he said it was to scare away the wild elephants. "But there aren't any wild elephants in Iowa" said his friend. "Well, that shows how well it works" he replied. Bush's legacy will be crushing debt, a demoralized military, and disaffected allies.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

jpjc2000 0 #69 June 8, 2006 What do you think of the Christian ex-military american who DID blow up a US government building and kill over 100 people in the US? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Clinton set up that whole thing to divert attention from the flat tax agenda that was gaining steam.(Ohhhh my gaud, I sound like a radical dem-dummie or re-puke).

As I said, no point in discussing taxes and Govt. revenues with someone who can't even acknowledge the effects of 9/11 on the economy. Your rant is sophomoric and down right laughable.

It's going to be hard to come up with a different legacy, what with current events and accurate historical accounts working against him. History was so much easier to revise before the internet.

FallRate 0 #74 June 9, 2006 QuoteThe expected non-answer. You might have tried "but Clinton got a blowjob!" or "so you support the terrorists, eh?" - two other oldies but goodies. Ahh, the expected platitude. You could have offered an opposing viewpoint, but instead you offered non-sequitors. If you want answers... QuoteWhat do you think of the call for assassination of Hugo Chavez by a US religious leader? Robertson's quote: "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. " Does Robertson have the power to actually facilitate an assassination by wishing for it? Quite doubtful. Juxtapose this with the Ayatollah commanding the assassination of Salman Rushdie for writing a book. I hope you do not honestly fail to see the difference. QuoteWhat do you think of the Christian ex-military american who DID blow up a US government building and kill over 100 people in the US? I know that we tried him and executed him. Not pleasant, but certainly proof that he was viewed as a terrorist, with zero lenience granted for his ethnicity or citizenship. QuoteDid you recognize that Hussein's government had a right to exist? This reminds me of Michael Moore's description of the invasion of Iraq as an invasion of a sovereign nation, which is an absurdity. The answer is no. Hussein's government had absolutely nothing resembling a right to exist. It was a government permitted to exist in the aftermath of a war begun by that government and a war which that government lost. A war which began with that government's actual invasion of a sovereign country. Hussein's government existed under the terms of a cease-fire. Terms which Hussein's government grossly violated for over a decade. While being so quick to berate skydyvr, you missed the fact that he made a very good point. You often speak of shades of grey, dismissing the idea of black and white...which I agree with. But as you have continued to preach this mantra it seems you have lost the key idea: that there are shades. In each of these questions you have implied equality, but the shades of difference are strikingly discernible. FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydyvr 0 #75 June 9, 2006 QuoteIn each of these questions you have implied equality, but the shades of difference are strikingly discernible. Bilvon obviously isn't stupid, so we'll have to write it off to pure intellectual dishonesty. Bummer. Bilvon always ignores me when I point out the glaring differences in the comparisons he puts together -- most of which are constructed for the purpose of minimizing the US and to apologize for various actions of the enemy. I'm used to being ignored on the subject, but it's nice to know some others haven't ignored it. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
