Spiderweb Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Kemp was instrumental in cutting the top tax marginal rate of 70% down to 28% (Kemp-Roth Bill) and with that PROVED that money in the hands of the American tax payers increases tax revenue coming into the U.S. Treasury!! U. S. Tax receipts nearly DOUBLED from 1982 to 1988. Why? Those that work and produce realized that they can keep more of what they earn...and NOT give it to the government. This generated huge growth in our economy with new capital investments and encourged people to work hard for their money. Unfortately, today's president B.O. believes that government knows best how to spend YOUR money. He is moving this country into full blown socialism. B. O. stinks, plain and simple RIP Jack Kemp...you understood from your humble beginnings that your can't have employees unless you have employers first! Wrong place for a political debate. Save this misguided, misinformed, and fear mongering thought for the political boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Nothing hypocritical there at all, Rush. I agreed with another's assessment, and still do, but as a man, despite diagreeing with his polictics/economics, I had tremendous respect for the man. A class act. Do you have trouble understanding that one can disagree with another, yet still admire and respect them? He had a heart as well, to which we all agree.

CT Bills backer Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 RIP Jack. I was unfortunately too young to ever watched a Kemp-led Bills team, but I (like any good, Bills fan in his 20s should) dived right into the Bills history and read about all of the great squads he led on the field. Great human being, great football player...you will be missed, Mr. Kemp. Those 60s era Bills teams were something to watch. Bills almost made the first Super Bowl. Before the AFL championship game, I remember seeing a picture of Jack Kemp holding a big $25,000 check which was the winners share in those days. Great guy and very compassionate.

Do you have trouble understanding that one can disagree with another, yet still admire and respect them? He had a heart as well, to which we all agree. Your oxycotin dealer is waiting for you at the corner.... Great retort, again... nice move to demonize the individual rather than deal with what was said.... Is it ok to call you Olbermann now? You cannot understand why someone revered Kemp for his politics so you demonize his post by saying... "Wrong place for a political debate. Save this misguided, misinformed, and fear mongering thought for the political boards". Your actual statment was ... "Despised his politics/economics". not "diagreeing with his polictics/economics" big difference! Do you actually know anything about his politics other that he was a republican... then he must be bad! This is highly hypocritcal. There is a reason he was called a "Bleeding heart Conservative"... do yourself a favor, read up on his positions before you post.. Dare I say... you might the one who might be misinformed? Save your crude comments about Rush... He is a jerk in my opinion.... also the oxycotin comment just shows your desperation and inability to deal with someone who opposes your position.. It appears that if someone posts a comment contray to your opinion.. you attempt to discredit or demean... it does niether.. Why not just recognize what Kemp did in his life and let the other BS go?
