Question

Do you agree with many on the political left that the way to economic prosperity is through heavy taxation?

Answer 1

What I agree with is that SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR EIGHT YEARS OF BUSH BORROWING AND SPENDING.

And what I also agree with is that you are hardly in any position to be espousing ANY theories about "economic prosperity" since YOUR methods of TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH is what thrust this country into a financial tailspin in the first place.

Answer 2

what, you didn't get the memo~?

Answer 3

Oh no! You couldn't be mooore wrong!

Obama would NEVER raise OUR taxes. He's just going to tax the corporations and businesses.

So as long as we don't...

1. Buy anything from a company

2. Sell anything to a company

3. Own a company

4. Collect a paycheck from a company

5. Have any investments

....our taxes won't go up. Don't see how simple it is?!? Can't you imagine all the happy people joining hands and singing for world peace?!? And U2 will play 24 hours a day in the background and we'll all return to the earth and become one with Nature?!?!

You can't?

Well then you must be Satan!

(Not that we believe in God)

Answer 4

Taxation will not bring prosperity.  But it is the only way to pay down the massive almost-$10 TRILLION debt we're currently running.  We will never have "prosperity" with that hanging over our head.

Why can't conservatives get that through their heads?  We can't get out of debt by borrowing more!  We need a program of tax hikes and government cuts.  Of course, no candidate is ever going to admit to that!

Answer 5

Ummmm that is a difficult question.  But I can see that the Bush Plan has been very hard on the economy when he cut taxes the deficit ballooned Your idea makes a lot of sense.  But good luck selling it.

Answer 6

Is anyone else tired of people who tell the left what the left believes?  

Answer 7
