  1. The "right" part. If I'm not mistaken Frank is an Economics major. Unlike Ryan, another Economics grad, Frank worships Krugman and keynesian economics.
  2. That's fine. I just take him at his word. Today he let another socialistic/Marxist phrase slip out to go along with his seeking out Marxist professors, spreading the wealth around, plans to lead the healthcare toward single payer, belief that at some point you've made enough money, belief that business is the enemy, but you go ahead if it lets you feel superior.
  3. New media isn't embarrassing. Those two you posted above provide ways for you to further investigate opinions and news. Watching TV or reading Print is mostly taking what they say as factual. Join the online community and learn that there are more than two views to every issue. I wish the left would just get over the fact that Obama is indeed a socialist/Marxist and quit getting all butt hurt when someone calls him what he is. Nobody is saying he's Stalin or Hitler and wants to murder millions who disagree with him (at least not literally). Not only does Congressman Ryan's plan have a grandfather clause, once implemented it has an option to go with the medicare the way it is now.
  4. Thank you Frank! At least you present a thoughtful argument without name calling here. Romney brings executive experience. Leadership in coalition building. Understanding of economies of scale. Since most of you libs think this is important, he attended Standford for one year before he transferred and received his bachelors degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. He also received an MBA and JD from Harvard. He has given more than lip service to his faith. He lives it. (Full disclosure: My wife is a "Jack" Mormon). As for 2001 - 2002... Really, Frank? You don't see an anomaly happening, oh say sometime in September 2001? And I was serious about Car insurance. You're not old enough to remember how expensive it was prior to the changes allowing more competition into the mix. I do. It cost more than my car each month. Reagans tax cut of 1981 was not immediate. In was implemented over time (three years).
  5. Charles Krauthammer. To top it off.... He opposed the raid on OBL. http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/01/the-bin-laden-situation-room-revisited-one-year-later/
  6. You can't. It's right there in black and white. You can only offer opinion pieces that attempt to put forth other reasons for ax receipts to hv gone up. But go ahead. Run. No, I posted a link to Federal Tax Receipts By Year at the top.http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=200
  7. Yeah. And after 4 plus years (counting 2007-8) of constant campaigning, he still lacks all of the above.
  8. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=200 Federal tax receipts by year ^^^^^ The following quotes are published in the book, “The Interesting History of Income Tax,” by William J. Federer" “It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now … Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.” – John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president’s news conference “Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government.” – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, annual budget message to the Congress, fiscal year 1964 “In today’s economy, fiscal prudence and responsibility call for tax reduction even if it temporarily enlarges the federal deficit – why reducing taxes is the best way open to us to increase revenues.” – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 21, 1963, annual message to the Congress: “The Economic Report Of The President” “It is no contradiction – the most important single thing we can do to stimulate investment in today’s economy is to raise consumption by major reduction of individual income tax rates.” – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 21, 1963, annual message to the Congress: “The Economic Report Of The President” “Our tax system still siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power and reduces the incentive for risk, investment and effort – thereby aborting our recoveries and stifling our national growth rate.” – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 24, 1963, message to Congress on tax reduction and reform, House Doc. 43, 88th Congress, 1st Session. “A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget. Every taxpayer and his family will have more money left over after taxes for a new car, a new home, new conveniences, education and investment. Every businessman can keep a higher percentage of his profits in his cash register or put it to work expanding or improving his business, and as the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues.” – John F. Kennedy, Sept. 18, 1963, radio and television address to the nation on tax-reduction bill “I have asked the secretary of the treasury to report by April 1 on whether present tax laws may be stimulating in undue amounts the flow of American capital to the industrial countries abroad through special preferential treatment.” – John F. Kennedy, Feb. 6, 1961, message to Congress on gold and the balalnce of payments deficit “In those countries where income taxes are lower than in the United States, the ability to defer the payment of U.S. tax by retaining income in the subsidiary companies provides a tax advantage for companies operating through overseas subsidiaries that is not available to companies operating solely in the United States. Many American investors properly made use of this deferral in the conduct of their foreign investment.” – John F. Kennedy, April 20, 1961, message to Congress on taxation “Our present tax system … exerts too heavy a drag on growth … It reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking … The present tax load … distorts economic judgments and channels an undue amount of energy into efforts to avoid tax liabilities.” – John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, press conference “The present tax codes … inhibit the mobility and formation of capital, add complexities and inequities which undermine the morale of the taxpayer, and make tax avoidance rather than market factors a prime consideration in too many economic decisions.” – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 23, 1963, special message to Congress on tax reduction and reform “In short, it is a paradoxical truth that … the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now. The experience of a number of European countries and Japan have borne this out. This country’s own experience with tax reduction in 1954 has borne this out. And the reason is that only full employment can balance the budget, and tax reduction can pave the way to that employment. The purpose of cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.” – John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, news conference Look at the chart. Tax cut signed in 1964, receipts went up 1965. Reagan 1981 and 1986 signed tax cuts. Receipts go up. Bush 2003. Receipts go up. The problem is SPENDING. Spending never goes down and the Ryan plan doesn't even "cut" spending. It reduces the rate of increase. The Obamacare actually cuts medicare. Ryan plan continues to increase spending on Medicare. Allows for a current (and those age 55 at the time of enactment) recipients to continue untouched while offering choices to us younger folk to either enter into Medicare or go with a new voucher system. So, it's a bald faced lie to claim "guts medicare". The only gutting of medicare occurred with the ObamaTax.
  9. Of course you are. move to Canada. Done. Car insurance and car warranty models are already there to model health insurance after (and homeowners too, but I digress). Open the competition accross state lines. You don't do well at reading comprehension, do you? Cutting taxes increases tax revenue every time it's tried. Ryan's plan ( unlike Booooooosh) cuts taxes, eliminates "loopholes", simplifies the reporting process, and cuts the rate of increase(NOTE: Doesn't cut dhit, just slows the rate of growth. If you say his plan cuts, guts, eliminates anything, YOU ARE LIER. You lie.). Yes. Sort of, but wrong. You will see more in the coming days. Planned parenthood is a private endeavor that should not be funded by my tax dollars. What pisses me off is when you leftist leave off the descriptor in front of "immigrant"! Nobody on the right side of center talks "strong against immigrants". Illegals, yes. They broke the law. As far as taking stances on fair pay... Wtf are you talking about? Lilly Ledbetter? Christ what a waste of time. Brining that up just tells me all I need to know about how married you are to the false narratives of the leftist mindset. You have yet to articulate why "that is the nail in the coffin"?
  10. Upon further review , I now get it. (slaps head) Doh!Alcohol may have been impairing my reading.

  15. Appointments to the EPA, DOJ, NLRB, FCC, and more importantly SCOTUS who believe in capitalism as the best and most prosperous economic system ever invented and that the constitution with all it's ammendments limits the power of the federal government.
