    Republicans are sitting in the cat bird seat!

    I don't find it bad that some people want to help others out. You find it selfish that people who make minimum wage want food stamps and help from the government to get health care. I find it selfish that somebody who makes millions a year is unwilling to give up a little bit of his or her...

    If you make over 75,000 a year, are you rich?

    If you're a parent who works full time at minimum wage, you're still $1,500 below the poverty line, even when food stamps and EITC are throw in. This "well, they're selfish if they want the government to help them get food" statement is ridiculous. By the way, $160 is, as far as I know, the...

    Believe it or not, the tax system is actually based on income, not political affiliation. Unless you're admitting that the Republican Party is the party of rich, white men.

    Why are you not sucessful?

    That sounds like a terribly ridiculous reason to stop trying to help other people who need it. I figure this whole topic is connected to your statements about how you think it's unfair for people to complain about how their incomes have been going down since this administration started its...

    If you make over 75,000 a year, are you rich?

    Point well made. That being said though, I don't really think of the $75,000 as rich. Obviously it's not poor, and it's above the average guy, but it's not exactly mansion income. That's not to say that everybody who makes $75,000 should be getting constant, direct government support, but...

    You obviously missed the point and/or conversation.

    I don't think we should separate people into just three different groups. If you talk about taxes, you can't just call $75,000 rich and group them up with people who make millions.

    Ugly Politics

    The documents just showed that she worked with her husband to try to gain support for it. She's maintained that publicly she supported it in order to ensure that it didn't appear as if the White House was broken into sectors and fighting itself. In other words, she believed she had to respect...

    Republicans are sitting in the cat bird seat!

    Throughout Bill Clinton's presidency, there were seven Black Secretaries. And do you really think that gays and lesbians are going to run to a party that has done everything it can to prevent them from having any rights whatsoever? We're talking about a party that has pushed for a...

    Republicans are sitting in the cat bird seat!

    Bill Clinton didn't get his campaign finally wrapped up until June. Watching every state vote is hardly going to harm the Democratic Party, and I've never understood why people have thought that. When people are able to actually vote to help decide the Democratic candidate, it's going to help...

    What would you do with 3 trillion dollars?

    Reagan was known as the fiscally responsible conservative too. The sad thing is that it isn't as if the question of fiscal responsibility is really twisted around and involves studying and balancing massive amounts of research. It's really as simple as looking at a chart like that and going...

    Torture Monkey stands firm

    I have no doubt that that's the case. My post wasn't attempting to legitimize unmetered, imperial warfare; it was a reply to Starfish's thought that Iraqis might be hoping to become colonial citizens.

    Torture Monkey stands firm

    In 2006, more than half of Iraq's citizens supported attacks against U.S. soldiers. That's not even an approval rating. It's the majority of them supporting our soldiers dying. In other words, they don't think very highly of us.

    Torture Monkey stands firm

    I'm not going to place any blame for 9/11 on Bill Clinton, because Bill Clinton actually tried to do something about Osama Bin Laden. Freezing assets, launching cruise missiles, embargoing Afghanistan; these are all things Bill Clinton did that George Bush didn't do. When George Bush entered...

    No Child Left Behind

    I can't claim to know a whole ton about No Child Left Behind, but one thing I do know is that it's massively underfunded and that a lot of times, states have to do a lot of personal funding to meet requirements which means they may be likely to cut back on funding for what the law doesn't...
