Wasn't that sort of Ron Paul's agenda? He was dismissed as a fringe player this time. But he's already gearing up for 2012 when he maybe harder to dismiss.
I hope your right about 2012. We might be surprised at how many people who are fiscal conservatives are willing to…
Either there are some rich posters here ("sorry Sheik, I'll get back to you on the Azerbaijan pipeline deal, but I gotta send off some comments to Japan Today first"), or there some folks arguing against and planning to vote against their own personal economic self-interest.
I've personally moved a fair amount of my investments into gold and commodities which will benefit in the long run from this insane printing and distribution of paper money.
However, as an American citizen it makes me sick to see them do it. I just know they will continue to…
Small government, light regulation and letting the banks and big businesses do as they please has not worked, and the amount of cash that banking and business executives have been able to leech out of the economy is disgusting. They screwed up and they deserve to be made to pay…
This is a form of income redistribution which should be recognized as such. We are taking money from future taxpayers to pay for expenditures in the present.
Super point Betzee. I'd also like to point out that printing lots of paper money (deflating the value of the dollar) is also…
This is actually the most impressive that I've seen McCain. I finally find at least one area where I'm impressed by him. He makes coherent logical arguments on taxes.
To call what Obama is proposing a tax "cut" is deceitful. A tax cut during a flat economy or recession can…
Why quibble over the amount? It's completely arbitrary. IMO Obama should raise the taxes on everyone making over $80K and anyone who makes less shouldn't pay any. There's no guiding principle behind any of this, so just stick it to those who make more than you for your own…

Why is this news? Perhaps because Palin is a somewhat attractive woman.
No one reported on how much Hillary, Chelsea, and Bill spent on their wardrobes, accessories, and grooming.
How much do you think has been spent by McCain, Obama, and Biden for nice suits, watches, haircuts, etc. How about…

Simon,

The only way for the government to provide a tax cut is to cut spending or accept more debt. Anything else isn't a tax cut - it's simply a tax change.
Obama's plan is nothing but pure pandering to people's greed versus a basic human principle of enjoying the fruits…
