It goes something like this, as we embrace Big Brother by giving him more and more of our freedoms and money, we become less productive and more dependent upon him. Then the cycle repeats itself over and over and over again as we become poorer and poorer and poorer while all the while we look to him for leadership and a livelyhood.
How do you suggest we break the cycle? Especially as our freedoms errode further and further and we are less and less able to provide for ourselves?

Originally posted by no1marauderWhen you get some dividends and capital gains, then we can have this discussion.
It'll certainly mean higher taxes for Pete Du Pont and that's a good thing. BTW, why do right wingers think rich folks' dividends and capital gains should be taxed at a lower rate than most people's salary (most right wingers think they shouldn't be taxed at all)?

Originally posted by der schwarze Rittergreat, thanks for asking. It should be another year or 2 before he gets Mitt Romneys mess cleaned up.
You don't have to wait, you already have Deval Patrick as your governor:

How has that worked out for you?

Originally posted by no1marauderHow do you like giving what you work hard for to the government? Better yet, how would you like giving even more of that back to the governmetn, should either B. Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton become president? If nothing else, McCain will at least keep the tax on capital gains and dividends at its currently low rate. This means you will earn more for your investments and have more in retirement instead of handing it over to the government. That's a pretty good reason not to vote Democrat.
OK, I already have.
Start with the discussion.
