So, what your saying is that increasing taxes on the poor and unemployed didn't hurt them?

Wow.... that Tony Martin sh-- is completely !@#$ed up.

FDR used excise taxes to raise a large portion of tax revenue = fact Excise taxes hit the poor harder than the rich = fact These policies hurt the poor = fact there is no debating it. I'd like to see a response other than retardedness, but i guess that's asking too much.

Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails." maybe you need to read.

His economic policies only prolonged the depression, though.

the US treasury says "excise taxes were not sound economic policy and often fell disproportionately on the less affluent." http://www.treasury.gov/education/fact-she...xes/ustax.shtml FDR used excise taxes "the federal government increased income taxes, excise taxes, inheritance taxes, corporate income taxes, holding company taxes and “excess profits” taxes." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/business/23view.html "The most important source of New Deal revenue were excise taxes levied on alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, matches, candy, chewing gum, margarine, fruit juice, soft drinks, cars, tires (including tires on wheelchairs), telephone calls, movie tickets, playing cards, electricity, radios -- these and many other everyday things were subject to New Deal excise taxes, which meant that the New Deal was substantially financed by the middle class and poor people. Yes, to hear FDR's "Fireside Chats," one had to pay FDR excise taxes for a radio and electricity!" http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=3357

God forbid someone in the "civil liberties" party be pro 2nd amendment.

Ill tell you how. The New Deal's tax increases hit poor people harder than they did rich people, as much of them were consumption taxes.

Unemployment numbers are pretty meaningless under FDR. We could have 0% unemployment if the government decided to spend a few trillion dollars.

Did you even listen to what Rush said? He says he hopes Obama fails in nationalizing business. I happen to agree with him, as you all should as well.

You are all for unionization through card checks... why not the presidency?

We could all tinkle in his cornflakes!

That's pretty much how you win in the NFL. Ever notice how teams with high turnover margins are usually near the top?

he has to accept any offer we give him or he can't play in the NFL.

Funny thing is... all it takes is 2-3 teams to get great Tampa 2 Defenses for everyone to switch back. People like to parrot that teams are switching to the 3-4 because a couple teams have great defenses with it.... but guess what? It's the players not the scheme. This is how the NFL works; teams copy whatever scheme that good teams are using. Its all a giant cycle.

We all know how easy it is to coerce someone when you don't know who they are voting for!

Smart move selling now...as the capital gains tax increase would have nullified a lot of the teams appreciation.

Wow, you are a complete idiot. Are people against affirmative action racist too? I'd like to know when complaining about rules that apply to certain people because of the color of their skin became racist. Somehow, I don't think that believing the rooney rule to be BS requires you to think your race is superior. (which is the definition of racism)

Honestly, its probably to the point that if Obama told everyone to drown themselves in the Washington monument reflection pool... they would.

Batch is a very good backup.

Tebow = Troy Smith

I'll take an 85 QB rating any day of the week.
