Inyo County Sheriff

You know what’s funny? They play the religious card, but you know what? Jesus hated the rich. He was a minimalist and thought money was the root of all evil.

Are you really talking about Robin Hood?

“There’s a new sherrif in town!” – John McCain.

Please don’t vote for this “maverick”. 4 more years of “Tinkle on” economics will destroy our country.

Right now Republicans are not in a good mood. Lots are brooding, talking to themselves and or are in total denial. They are going down in November, in a very big way.

both parties have failed us, yet you still support them. WHY?????????
You do have a choice. let the libertarians have a try. i dont think they could do any worse., i dont think my 5yr old neice could do worse.

We just don’t care for the democrats politics and their way of stealing from us. We worked hard for our money!!! Make your own!

Do you realize that Union media, union hollywood and union writers have biased you. Unions in government = communism. Mafia is still in charge of the unions, this is how they control society.

wow, i hate how nobody knows about how our tax system works.

the government taxes the poor almost none. 40% of the people in our country pay no income tax. the richer you get, the higher you’re taxed. the top 5% of our population pays for half the total tax revenue of the government. so when a republican enacts a tax break, it’s not you’re taxing the poor even more. they still get their low tax rate, plus a little bonus. the rich always get more back, just because they’re already paying through the nose. i mean, you pay $5 million in taxes, you’re going to get a higher monetary amount than someone who pays $5,000. but percentage wise, the rich have always paid more taxes than the poor.

and if a Democrat does what Obama is proposing, taxing the rich higher and giving the middle class a big break, then what’s the incentive to being rich? if you achieve wealth, you get taxed more? how fair is that?

EDIT

i resent the stereotype that republicans are incapable of thinking. it’s truly the other way around. if democrats actually LISTENED to Obama instead of just looking at him, they’d realize he’s full of crap.

Obama is just 4 more years of the Pelosi rein? Can we really afford more of the same last 2 years? Bank collapse,Fannie and Freddie collapse,AIG,Higher oil and gas prices…
Obama is more of the same.
Sound familiar?

The higher you push the capital gains tax, the more you move money away from the U.S. to countries with lower capital gains taxes. Same with corporate taxes. As for who benefits the country the most, the teacher or the heiress, each benefits the country in his or her own way. How many people do you think the heiress employs? “only invest into their own portfolios” – what does that even mean? Investment puts people to work. Less investment means less jobs.

And if you think everyone in the highest bracket “knows how to avoid taxes” you’re dreaming – who do you think pays the vast majority of taxes in this country? The “rich” do.

Moreover, increasing taxes actually decreases the overall revenue after about a year. Cutting taxes leads to an increase in revenue because it leads to an increase in GDP. Look it up, it’s a fact. There must be a balance – you cannot increase taxes forever, now, can you, just as you can’t decrease them to zero either.

Wow…last time I checked…the Deomcrats are actually in power and hold both legislative branches for the last 2 years…..what exactly have they been doing all this time while Bush ran the country in the ground? Now they want the whitehouse too!? Why didn’t they do anything with the oppurtunity already given them…unless they wanted to let the country tank to seal the deal on this years election.

Got to love politics…

Well put. And for those republicans with a me first attitude and pi ss on they neighbour. It’s as simple as what goes around comes around.
American people are in trouble and need our help now. Let’s not forget the poor, the homeless, the unforgotten war vet, which McCain and company threw in the gutter and lets not forget about the thousands of people that are losing their jobs daily due to mismanaged investments and lies.
When your turn comes and you have your hand out looking for help, just remember the selfish attitude you took when the rest of society was suffering.

Edit: The evil answers that you have directed at bluechristy, just proves my point.

I can tell from your question that you have no idea what Republicans believe in. Let me inform you.

The term in question is called social mobility. Social mobility exists when there is ample opportunity for an individual to increase (or decrease) their financial position based on their efforts (or lack of effort). Republicans want to create social mobility. We have another name for this opportunity, The American Dream. We believe it should be available to everyone willing to work for it.

Socialism that you are so fond of is the complete lack of social mobility. It takes away all reason for anyone to work hard on anything. Why should I work overtime to buy a new car if I know you are going to come steal it? It is better I don’t work and you can’t have the car either.

I don’t like the bailout either, but if you think the majority Democrat Congress didn’t have the power to stop it you ignoring the facts. If you don’t know that Obama’s personal advisors were personally responsible for a big part of the crash then you are uninformed. Both sides failed us in this, but the fact is that Republicans tried to do something several years ago and were blocked by your Democrat leadership in Congress.

A NeoCon or Neo Conservative is someone who is anti-communistic, supports agressive US foreign policy, and has abandoned the liberal left in favor of the right in order to be on the correct (to them) side of those issues. I just thought you should know because I don’t think you did. It helps to know what a term means when you throw it around.

I am the working class, and I am the person you want to tax to death. There are wealthy people paying less than they should, and there are a whole lot of freeloaders paying nothing. The freeloaders are the ones you want to help, and I am the one you seek to punish in order to make it happen. I am the person looking for opportunity that you want to strip away to line the pockets of lazy people.

The Republicans are not in power.

They just don’t get it. Everything is a circle, break the circle and everything is effected all the way back to the Break, (Wall Street) until it gets Fixed (Regulations on Corporation!). Corporations with the blessing of Our Government has taken Jobs from this country (that pay Americans Money so we can buy things too!) over countries where labor costs haven’t been that low since 1900 in this country.
That is WHY we have Unions! (And the people in them need to get more involved)
It is Our Responsibility as Americans to Hold those We elect to a Higher Standard.
And quit Voting for the Dumbest on the Ticket!
