Um, nowhere in my post was I referring to tax cuts.  Did you mean to respond to someone else's post?

The $6 trillion Bushco has handed to their cronies was borrowed from China, Russia, and Japan and taxpayers will be paying off those graft loans for decades to come. 

It has nothing to do with tax cuts.  I'll just assume you were misquoting. 

Hmm, when you say tax payers, are you talking about the same wealthy people who pay most of the countries taxes or the ones (like me) who don't pay crap and get money back on top of that? BTW, if we gonna punish people for cheating the system then maybe we should arrest the homeowners who took loans they new they couldn't afford as well and decided to default on and are part of this whole mess, talk about irresponsibility. I mean, after all, the banks screwed up for making the loans, but I seriously doubt they had guns to the peoples heads when they were signing the loans. Typical to point fingers at one side while ignoraing the whole picture. No wonder this country is so screwed.

Pretty much have already, but thanks for the tip.

Actually while the wealthiest top percent pay more per person, the vast majority of actual total tax revenue comes from the millions of middle class taxpayers.  So while they pay less per person, they make up for it in volume.

Either way, the majority of the graft went to Bushco cronies who moved their companies overseas in preparation for these events early this decade.  They don't pay anything in taxes to the good old US of A.

Do you blame the patient when the doctor misdiagnoses your illness or do you blame the doctor who went to school and was supposedly an expert in the field, paid BY YOU to advise you on this issue?

And yes, in actuality, 1/3 of the foreclosures are wealthy home "flippers"...amateur real estate speculators who deserve whatever comes to them, but the worst cases where entire subdivisions are being destroyed were due to fraudalent applications prepared with fraudulent information prepared without the homeowner's consent.  A number of the largest home builders are facing federal charges for falsifying information in order to get homeowner's approved. 

So yes, lock em up.

But what about the RENTERS?  There is a huge problem right now with people who have been paying their rent but the owners of the properties have not been paying their mortgages, so all of a sudden, without warning, you're on the street.

You want to blame the honest renters for that too?!

Oh, that's rich.  Lemme have some of what you're smokin', dude.

In preparation for these events?  Good grief.

If FDR's administration could do it, so can we. TRUST? Heck no. Read my other post. How can we supervise effectively? But trust? Never: Not Dems NOR Repubs.

Just HMO's? EVERY insurance company is the same! Stockholder driven medical care yields only angry and ignored patients, frustrated and harried physicians and rich CEO;s/Executives. No matter...it's ok if you get a dividend check, right?

I'm assuming you mean North Korea.

So basically you're full of shit.

You read that as more sinister than I intended.  Conspiracy theory much? 

Regardless, many companies had a direct pipeline to the White House and it wasn't hard to predict the fall of the dollar, for example, since Cheney said explicitly "deficits don't matter", which has become the mantra of his administration.

Similarly, only one company was large enough to rebuild Iraq...not coincidentally Haliburton/KBR, Dick Cheney's company.  They've pocketed a trillion dollars from us according to some estimates and promptly moved to Dubai in time to cash the checks outside the US of A.

And, adding insult to injury, "In February 2004, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on government contractorsPDF (774 KiB) that use offshore tax havens. It ranks the contractors in terms of the size of the contractors and provides information about how many subsidiaries the companies have offshore. Using data of the end of 2001, Halliburton ranked 30, had 17 offshore companies in tax havens, and 131 foreign subsidiaries."

Precisely, but it was Kaiser's deal with Nixon that created HMOs and turned the landscape of American health care into what it is today.

From where I stand your the one floating.

See what I did there?

I think you need to chill out a bit, a little too high strung are we?

NOTHING scared the politicians more than that bombardment of protest from the American people regarding the first bailout proposal.  100% negative scared the ever loving crap out of them. 

I’m a conservative which to me means I put country before party. I think Bobby Kennedy would have made one of the all time best presidents. I just want the best person to lead us, the economy is only one aspect. As far as I’m concerned everyone from the people who knew they were living beyond their means right on up to the CEO’s are responsible for this mess. I think both parties are responsible as well. If either party claims it was all the other then I think “Bullshit!” I don’t feel like either side has a good fix but if regulation means the government will keep an eye on the assholes and make sure they do what they’re supposed to be doing I’m all for it.

   Another aspect to leading this country should be integrity but it doesn’t seem to matter, it still does to me. I think a lot of things when I think about McCain but is he telling the truth isn’t one of them. He may not be perfect but I don’t feel his integrity is questionable, Democrats even said he should not have been considered a part of the Keating Five. To link him with GWB to me is just a political ploy. First I don’t feel the republicans are the only one’s responsible and second McCain should detest Bush after what he and his campaign pulled on McCain when they spread the rumor that cost him the nomination.

   I don’t feel this way about Obama, when I hear him speak I wonder if he’s telling the truth or is he someone who will associate with anyone no matter if they’re preaching hate or laughing because they got away with murder to get what he wants. I feel like the Democrats were nothing but race or gender this time, gender didn’t make it so what does that leave? I’m going to say the Hell with being politically correct and ask outright. Is the real story that Obama wants to become the first black president? Will he do or say anything to get this? Does he really care about America or is that just a slogan?  When this thing about ACORN came out why did Obama say it was just a distraction cooked up by the Republicans? Why isn’t he spearheading the investigation into ACORN? It’s evident that until the Primaries they were closely associated, were they his first campaigner’s?  I feel cheated, my one vote means nothing. How is that not undermining our country? I don’t have a problem with the first black president or the first female president but whatever their race or gender I do want them to be honorable.

  As you can see I still have issues and a post earlier addressed another of my issues but didn’t seem to me to get addressed by the group so I’m going to bring it back up and maybe someone can clue me in on why I would want these qualities in a leader.

BTW I don’t think it’s the end of the world no matter who wins, that’s not what I’m about. To me everything I’m concerned about is legitimate, I’m not pissed off and I’m not trying to piss anyone off. Peace.     

I ain't callin' no waaambulance. Just decaring bullshit on your Clinton bashing.

Nice try though. For that , you get a
