White House Gives In On Bush-Era Tax Cuts

Jefferson isn't alive and didn't know ***about the world of 2010. Don't read into quotes.

1. There is no Universal Health Care. The goal of the public option was to bring down the rates of private insurance companies by creating artificial competition via the public program. It also made it so less money was spent on people who had no insurance. This means you're spending less money on people who don't deserve it.

2. Social Security was designed as an economic saftey net to prevent the economy from bottoming out. You see without SSI people who retire would STOP SPENDING MONEY and hoard. When you stop spending money you hurt the economy. Social Security provides a way for people to retire but still stimulate the economy. Guess what pays for the federal budget? Taxes on the economy.

3. Medicare is another example of spending policies designed to avoid stagnating the economy.

4. Foreign Aid? Like what? The .0000001% of our budget that we donated to Haiti? Are you *** serious? We got that money back in national security. Donating money and sending aid made us look good in the international community and bollasters our support from other states.

5. World Police? /facedesk. We engage in combat with other countries only when it is in our vital interest. If you don't think the war in the middle east is in our interest you're really blind. Hello oil? We can not afford to allow that region to fully destablize. It would *** our economy.

6. Welfare. I agree with this one to an extent. However, wellfare is largely a state by state issue these days, and generally they require you to work a job. I know you'd rather let people go poor but if you sat down and thought about how the economy works then you'd realize that the money spent into limited wellfare programs stop people from doing devasting things like defaulting on loans and screwing people over.

7. Affirmative Action: There is no statistic proof that Affirmative Action in any way, shape, form, or abstract imagination harms a white man. You act as if there are limited jobs and colleges in the country. Really? REALLY!? What makes you think you're anymore entitled to a job than an equally qualified black man? What makes you think that you're even equally qualified? If a black man has a 4.0 GPA and a college degree and he grew up in downtown Brooklyn then he has COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY OUT PERFORMED ANY WHITE SUBURBAN KID. Accomplishments are defined by the obstacles you overcome not by the things you do.

8. Federal Bailouts. Ok so wallstreet pays for about 95% of our taxes, and employs about 50% of the people who work in America I think bailouts are fine. Furthermore we have already recovered money from AIG and several of the other industries. Projections show that we will not only make all our money back but we will make substantial profit.

My suggestion to you:

If you completely hate every aspect of society and want every man to live according to your means then go join a society that does that. Oh, that's right that's an Amish town. America is no longer an agarian nation where people can say, "Oh *** I'll just make it myself". The computer you're typing on right now is a product of society. The job you work to pay for that computper is a product of society. You sure as hell don't see smart enough to invent a computer or start a company. QQ more.

I'm fine with paying taxes for the things that I believe in. National Defense, Police, Fire, Hospitals, Infrastructure, etc. Using my taxes to fund things that I don't believe in is not my price to society. Also, stating I am in need of medical attention because my ideals are different from yours? What kind of backwards *** draconian thinking is that? "Oh no, someone thinks differently than I do, there must be something wrong with him." Seems like you are the one that needs to catch up with the times.

Wow something from Excelior that I'm impressed with, anything can happen.

Thing is guy you don't get to decide what your tax money goes to, nor is it your place to. Your mind is set to a time that isn't the world today, you do need mental medical attention, and it's regardless of how or what I think.

Shut the *** up Jet. Sprinkle insults over your statements, but do not sit there and try to rationally argue he needs medical attention for his ideology.

considering he's in a mindset that is inapplicable to the world today, yeah he does need medical attention, he clearly doesn't understand reality.

Reality is subjective, not objective.

well I guess that depends on whether or not you accept everything as observable or not, which does raise a good question and a line of thinking that far exceeds most minds.

You do indirectly, when you vote someone into office. If a candidate campaigns that he'll cut useless programs(usually out of the desires of the public) and downsize the overhead of government and you vote him into office based on that, you should expect that those programs would be cut. You indirectly decide where your money goes based on the candidate's promises.

Ok I'm a ***, but I see nothing wrong with making everyone who believes in religion or other ***seek medical attention.

So you concur that God MAY exist?

That is so wrong on so many levels. I do not even need to rant on why that is the case too. Yeah he is in my *** and brings ***into this world.

Oh please, that means trusting the integrity of a politician in a higher office. You tell me the track record for success on that one.

Promises mean about as much as Stanflame's claim of playing with Bill Gates.

If there is ever a brutal dictatorship in America you should really submitt your resume jet. I think you could top Hitler or Stalin.

Tell me Spicy, why is it wrong? Why does society accept irrational thought and instantly jumping to illogical conclusions when we don't see an immediate answer the acceptable way?
